@@contra7631same but I think I’m getting ready to purchase reforger soon now, maybe around Fall 2024 im gonna buy it I think the key is just joining a good server
Don’t worry it’s not playable at all, for some reason all of these videos about the new update haven’t mentioned that Reforger has been down for the past two days, the servers are lagging like they are being ddossed, and since the update 90% of the time you get stuck on a “content verification” screen… I’m sure they will fix it soon but I just miss the days game devs would actually test updated before releasing them
@@cartergunter1898 oh well did I forget to also mention the fact that you could actually drive in the game without desyncing constantly into other vehicles before the medic update, but since the medic update vehicle lag has just gotten worse. Also the devs removed a feature that many players enjoyed called “brake boosting” which just made the slow ass trucks go faster uphill a harmless bug that ended up being very useful. I could honestly just keep listing things, I enjoy the game don’t get me wrong but I enjoy the game when it’s playable, and rather then ironing out the current bugs the devs just keep adding more and more things that create more problems and rather than fix them they just move on to the next thing.
@@PerkaholicFBThe ddosing has only been apparent on a few modded servers form what I know, it’s shut down servers I play on consistently at the same time for the last days. Now with the new update, modded servers have gotten all messed up and most hardly run (but i expected that)
a feature with the match times spanning as long as it takes for the other team to win (without server crash causing restarts) i played a server for about 7 hours got off went to bed, woke up 8 hours later to find the match had been going since yesterday and didn’t end until the end of the next day, almost a 48 hour match
Games last 3-6 house I'm sitting here with bags in my eyes addicted to the trenches the server I play on we had a game go for 24 hours I only missed a hour of it to eat and get more cigs I remember seeing people go to bed wake up hours later and get back on surprised the match was still going and I was still there

FYI you don't have to strap any wired contraption to your headset when using TrackIR, it comes with a passive metal cap clip which I use just fine, and it can be worn under headphones comfortably ;)
He also stated Toby eye track is superior (his opinion of course), but in really low light situations, it has issues. I tried it at a friend and it was just bad, with TrackIR i attach the IR device and no issues what so ever.
The AI man im worried the AI dont follow after being recruited and im worried they dont listen/successfully complete the commands commands. They especially don't revive the player when down which i think is a necessity.
Unfortunately, the AI is still horrible. Its basically the same as in experimental build. Its not registering commands, ignores commands, does whatever it wants. Not even mentioning the pathfinding, its just horrendous.
@matejmraz4362 yes I know and this is probably something that needs to be brought up the ladder of priorities with the developers but how many people actually care is the question imo AI commands has been like the backbone of arma series.
I agree with the comment on Tobii. I don't want to wear anything on my head, and I have settings I use in Arma 3 and DCS that are fluid and accurate. Hoping Reforger will add Tobii support soon!
Also if you walk into the tail rotor of the heli you get torn to shreds haha lol. I tested that out earlier. Before it did absolutely nothing when walking into the blades
So i am totally into the resistance game mode!!! i just finished the game. 5 hours and 26 minutes in total!! wahahaa.... i did get the achivement of Paper Pusher (delivered enemy intel) and Clean Sweep (finish Comabt Ops with every task completed) that was sick!! i met 3 guys who where very communicating, and that was real nice. A good community!!
I hope they implemented AI supply chains in conflict servers, otherwise it's always the same 3 guys running supplies, and before saying it's OP, like a convoy every 15 minutes or something, enough to encourage ambushes and maintain basic supplies but not enough to make a base abundant, maybe have a supply count above which they cannot start a new run
0:35 Three to six hours??? Most WCS Servers I join have been going on for no bs 15-20+ hours. I've played, gone to bed, woke up and hopped back into the same match before. Shit feels like an actual war lmao
Hold up, civilian faction? Can civvies use weapons? Can you be an intelligence gathering CIA field agent? That would be a whole new level of gameplay. Embedded intelligence officers spying on enemy movements.
The folks behind that mod already said nope for Reforger, but looking at Bohemia's interest on the (Evolution/Liberation) gamemode + the already existing "lite" version of it pretty much in as a default scenario, I don't see what else we can get until we get AI and more goodies in. It even has missions, patrols, checkpoints and multiple hideouts already counted in.
@@samq7123 @redrafashiro Antistasi_Official made a tweet earlier this month that they are working on Antistasi for Reforger. To be fair, this is a reversal of the lead dev's announcement to not do so 2 years ago.
ARMA REFORGER may be a stellar PC game, but for the Xbox… at this time - recommendation is on hold, indefinitely. That said,… The game was reminiscent of the Unreal mod back the 90s called Infiltration - it has the same look and feel(almost) except the maps are massively much larger. An aspect that was striking about Arma Reforger was the lighting aesthetics - its adaptation of the visual effects of the natural light in various environments. As a player moved through the forest, the light glistening through the various types of trees had a quite realistic ambience. The streams and ponds, again very well done, variable and stunning in their variable integration among the map environments. On the other hand, the buildings were - more or less boxes - similar shapes of varying degrees. The counter effect was that you could actually experience walking through a building’s entirety… exploring through the assortment of buildings came as an interesting and welcome surprise. Vehicle physics, all I can say is… “different“. Although, the helicopters performed as expected… and were quite fluidic in their movements - in a good way of course, the player game-play-interaction on the other hand, yeah… early 90ish. July, 2024
One thing I've learned from AI driving in ARMA proper, have them follow..... Not sure if that's available in Reforger or not, but you see much better results typically.
I wish they would add PVS7 night vision to the base game. They were issued starting in 88, and the game is set in 89. No reason we should have to use mods for NODS
I made a comment about the horrendous ai pathfinding on Reforger Steam forum. I said something along the lines of "looks like the dude who torpedoed Carrier Command - Gaea Mission with horrible pathfinding is still working at Bohemia for some reason". A day later the comment was deleted and i got a warning that i'm "being disrespectful". There weren't any swear words, i didn't single out any specific person, yet i got a pre-ban warning. I guess we're heading into era when any negative feedback (no matter whether a jokey hyperbole or actual constructive criticism) is going to be considered "toxic". :-/
I see people comparing this to squad. Is that accurate? I enjoyed that game, but it was a little too much for a new player. Would this be considered more complex or on the same level of complexity?
I got in a WILD firefight earlier with 30+ enemies with a BTR. They pinned us down in a building and maneuvered on us. We couldn’t shoot back because of the constant grenade launcher fire on the windows. We ended up having to deploy smoke and sneak out the back. Bring LAW rockets with you boys
If I wasn't so damn poor, I would buy the game immediately :D Unfortunately, your idea of introducing a rank system for gear selection (like countless other games have) always has the problem that new players constantly have to compete against top-equipped players with simple weapons and equipment.
@@meuhey Prone sucks in this game and there aint always ledges to rest on, what is it with games and prone position also? it sucks in every game, i can't think of 1 game that has realistic prone position and anyone who has fired a real rifle from this positon will know what I mean, your scope dosen't go black, your legs don't stick up in the air.

I have a question, if I purchased Arma Reforger on Xbox then can I use the same account on PC without purchasing it again?(btw don t play on xbox is really bad)

arma reforger is dope i bought it a few days ago buttttt my pc can barely run it so it seems like im waiting awhile till i upgrade to play it and actually enjoy it
I'm no genius when it comes to game engines, but could they upgrade the current DayZ engine to the reforger engine? Based off gameplay (I don't own reforger - yet) it seems a hell of a lot less clunky
