Cant wait for A4 and its campaign!. Bohemia's single player campaigns have their own charm. be it the east wind campaign, apex or the first contact. its amazing what they can do.(And hopefully i can afford a PC that can run it by the time it releases)
Whatever people say about Arma, wether it is clunky or has bad performance or whatever, the Campaigns are top notch. I know that many people just overlook them but they are great.
You should at some point do a video touching in the "distant grass" issues that has been a problem since A2. Basically if the enemy is beyond 200 m and you go prone. You are still visible due to clutter LOD cut off but you again have all clutter drawn in your face. Really hope they try to find a way to fix it in Reforger.
Thank you for raising this! I am disappointed this is still an issue as some of the screenshots before release seemed to show how it may be an issue of the past, but having played with snipers, people still stick out like a sore thumb on distant hills. I will add this one to my list for the next video :)
@@CallMehTOMMEH Sounds good! :) If they cant get distant clutter to work, then atleast cut the basic clutter a little shorter so you can peak over it. Or then have a certain type of "higher grass" object that is drawn further and that players know they can use as cover not being close up eye-candy only.
THIS! This is such a big problem and in 20 years they still dont care about fixing it somehow! The damn grass distance is even hardcoded to a max of 150 meters. so much for that "new game engine" and its capabilities... at the very least, goddamnit lets say the engine isnt capable to do more than that, 150m should be the minimal default grass view distance for each and every player. this is a graphics setting that should NOT be optional!!! 150m is a joke anyways for the kind of engagement distances in this game series...
12:37 This is false, arma 3 has also a granular stance adjust. I don't know why people seems to keep forgetting about it. The only big difference is the EFT style walking/running spectrum that you can actually control with far more granularity.
I like the noises of birds in trees etc. What about actually adding in some animals? Fish in water. Bears & deer in the forests etc etc. That way you could add in some survival elements into the game later on. Tents/fires to keep warm from the elements when away from urban centres. The animals for hunting. It would make the environment more immersive and come alive
It would be nice to have the option of a survival/mil sim. A spec op team on extended mission that have to live off of the land to survive. Or a character who is haunted by his past and has to evade private armies while having build a shelter and camouflage it. Sort of like Rambo First Blood.
Great video mate! Loved it! So many improvements big and small. Overall I feel like the player experience is a lot better. Here’s one of my fav things Reforger vs A3: not getting stuck on every damned bush! I’m sure this is something they’ve improved, as I have that frustrating experience in A3 so often, and I haven’t noticed it on Reforger. List of A3 improvements for A4?! Wow! That’s gonna be a long video! 😉
Thank you so much Glenn, much appreciated mate. I totally agree, the movement is way smoother. Do you have any things you'd like to see improved in Reforger for Arma 4 to be as good as it can be?
@@CallMehTOMMEH OK, Arma4 wish-list here’s a start… For me it’s all about immersion. Things that add to the richness and believability of the world. Much of that is to do with AI. So, AI that’s not immersion breaking stupid and reacts in reasonable ways. For example, when in a building, don’t stare into a corner. You hear footsteps in the hall, watch the door and react! Enemy AI need to be get suppressed, search for cover and look to retreat, etc, and coordinate between themselves. They shouldn’t be either moronic or super soldier, they should be more “human” in their behaviour. Maybe at least as smart as a dog? (Or even better yet a cat!) Command of AI needs to be greatly improved too. It’s the most frustrating thing in the world trying to manoeuvre AI, especially when they’re driving vehicles or navigating obstacles. Grenade throwing needs to be heaps better, so you could drop a grenade at your feet or into a window or roll it through a doorway. Movement should be slowed down when traversing rubble or very rocky terrain. You should not be just able to walk up a 45 degree hillside or up steep rocks, etc. The inventory system needs to be much easier to navigate, filter and locate items. When you have stacks of mods, it’s almost impossible to find what you want, especially if you’re looking for correct “sets” of items that belong to each other logically. Not getting stuck on every bush. Being able “peek” around objects and lying prone in a natural way which allows you to sight your weapon properly as well as when you rest your weapon on an object. This should be far more intuitive. Deformable terrain. When artillery impacts there should be a shell hole. You should be able to dig foxholes and trenches, etc. “Real audio” like sonic booms, etc. When a jet flys past at high speed it needs to sound like the air itself is being torn. When you’re in an artillery barrage it should feel like the world is ending. Grass, trees and buildings should catch fire. I’m sure there’s stacks more I’ll think of later. But that’s enough for now!
No problem at all my friend! And yes we need helis asap. I heard on the grapevine we have 3 major content upgrades throughout the year and one will deffo include air vehicles ;)
Great video! A small thing I love to see is a falling and stumble animation. I can be triggert by getting shot in the legs, or sprinting over tree roots/rocks etc. I also want enemies shouting for help, in pain and giving orders. Also I like to see civilians that are working the land, hiding, fleeing, asking for help, giving me the finger, responding to my presence. Love to see the destruction to include trees, so we can chop a tree and create a roadblock for an ambush. Push able objects such as waste containers. Deform able terrein.
The only suggestion I have for Reforger/4 is to get a proper mission editor into the game ASAP. The workbench is fine for making modules/terrains, but we need something much more like the Eden editor for day to day use.
It will be upgraded I think with 3 major content patches scheduled to release this year and then the rumours are support will end after it's first year of release.
@@josoffat7649 that's the plan... Arma and DayZ have always been modder's paradise... it's alwass been like that... and infact a lot smarter... just let the people do what they want... and have big mod support... Mod support extends the life of the game... look at Battlefield 3... no modding support and game is kinda dead until the community made modding tools themself because DICE / EA didn't give them official tools... and now look at it... they got Battlefield 3 project Reality mod going... and people are coming to play it Bohemia is smart with letting modders do the work ArmA and DayZ have always been sandbox community driven games
I hope they have fixed the way AI can sink into the ground and become bulletproof, and I'd assume the same issue causes the ground to randomly absorb explosions(use the GMG in Arma3 and watch the AI wiggle while standing inside explosions) - I'm no expert but I don't think humans can just tank 40mm grenades.
To DayZ players: Imagine DayZ ported to Arma Reforger You walk with your friends in bright day and you hear impact sound, screen gets dark and you see the most hated thing in entire world: “You're Dead”, you just got killed by other player sitting in one of dark rooms of nearby residential blocks, with hist trusty rusty sniper rifle equipped with medium to long range scope and flash hider. That would be something!
Except Enfusion engine is being ported into DayZ... not the other way around which is what you're implying... Eventually DayZ will be on par with ArmA reforger and 4... right now it's hybrid of old and Enfusion engine... "Porting DayZ" doesn't really make sense... however... stuff like Exile mod and Epoch will be ported to Reforger and ArmA 4... which are DayZ-like mods which are a lot different then DayZ... so with DayZ getting good now... only reason to have DayZ-like mods on ArmA is for people who don't have DayZ or don't wanna get it but wanna play it on ArmA... maybe because of ArmA specific features like idk... jets and armed helicopters... submarines? Tanks? Idk... It's very possible that all DayZ related stuff will just be part of DayZ standalo e as mods or something... imagine exile mod but in DayZ itself rather then Arma... but who knows
The modular stances are cool but I would still like to see some horizontal stance improvements, in arma 3 I find myself using the side peeking stances more often than the up/down as I'd rather get pinged in the arm or leg than get domed in the skull trying to peek a wall or window lol.
DayZ player here - doesn't reforger have granular movement speed on the mouse wheel i.e. roll forward to run faster, roll back to slow - similar to tarkov. Also I wish they'd just put the reforger vehicles into dayz. DayZ went a bit overboard with making vehicles super complicated imo. No-one wants that complication in a game.
You are dead right, and I included this one in the first video in this series :) I am also adding your suggestion to not over complicate vehicles to my improvement list, as I totally agree. The gear changing, vehicle parts, etc, just became more of a ball ache than actually fun and rewarding gameplay.
I know you already covered better animations in the first video but did you see that at 5:25 when the guy is reloading and he's killed he dies with a MAG in his hand
All great advances! I hope to see MudRunner level driving, WreckFest vehicle destruction, and some kind of Project Injury type hit reaction. Can you interrupt animations yet? Can you toss, not throw, grenades?
Thank you mate! And thanks also for your list of stuff to improve Arma Reforger for Arma 4. You cannot interupt animations fully, some are only half simulated half procedural I think, so there's some way to go before you have complete control of throwable items for example
fall damage is cool now depending how high you fall from the player reacts to how high you fall from thats kool and i like how the AI come looking for you inside a buildingss
Some of this is not true, AI in arma 3 will clear out a building, you have clearly just used a "move" marker, but if you put down a "Search buildings" marker, they will clear the building. and Im sure rifle zeroing is animated, but this could just be that I always use mods like ACE and might not be in vanilla game
That's interesting, I didn't use that particular waypoint. Either way, the AI are much more impressive than in Arma 3 and in terms of rifle zeroing, it's deffo not in the base game of Arma 3 (no mods)
@@josoffat7649 laughs in maglev trains and no rail turnings just a straight line xd ArmA 4 is 100% gonna be a banger... you can say Arma 4 is going trough alpha phase right now with a Cold War skin on it... called ArmA reforger... remember how ArmA 3 was buggy when it first released in what? 2013? Coz it was in Alpha... well they are doing the same thing now but in a separate game... i can see Reforger being 100% ArmA 4 just with Cold War mod installed... so when ArmA 4 releases it's gonna be 100% ready and bug free since all of them got fixed in Reforger... and they just slap what ever skin which may be near-future thing again and voila you got ArmA 4 Sounds simple right? I belive that's what reforger is... it's literally ArmA 4 with a different Cold War skin... If you want Arma 4 to be good get Reforger and report bugs xD
Reforger is ArmA 4 Early Access Alpha with Cold War skin What you see in Reforger you will see in A4 just without the Cold War skin + development changes and improvements along the way
@@blackice3820 I remember reading somewhere that reforger was just a testbed for Arma 4, getting the feedback of the community with like 12-13 months of support only before releasing Arma 4
Reportedly B.I will support Reforger for 1 year after full release. although, they have declined to say how long it would be until full release. As much as they've kept support promises for ArmA in the past, they've also broke them or moved the goal posts for DayZ. So take that as you may.
No, I believe they said that they plan on Reforger being in Early Access stage for around a year before release. I have the game, with around 80 hours on it, and I can tell you from experience this game needs a MAJOR update. Like, there isn't helicopters, planes, civilian clothing, and not a lot of guns on both sides. I got it cause a friend of mine asked me to get it cause he started an Arma3 community a few years ago and it didn't really fail, just was too late to the party. So, he decided to start a brand new Arma group with Reforger and I thought I'd give it a shot. The gameplay, gun mechanics, and graphics are all good, but there's too many bugs. It's enjoyable when you have a lot of people to play with, but just by yourself is super boring. TL;DR WAIT to buy the game until they come out with a huge update.
I covered that in the first video which can be viewed here ruclips.net/video/uEDM6fmC2ZY/видео.html The TLDR is that it has been improved a lot but the proof will be in the pudding once we have full units (tanks, helicopters, planes etc) all being used at once. Currently, Reforger has a simple level of units, and so you would expect it to run well.
And Arma 3 still better, cuz you can actually play it in multiplayer. Two months after lauching and still getting disconnected .-. ( i know its EA,but its a full online game where the online doesnt work ... That's the minimum they had to ensure before launching it )
Arma 3 still just has more in general. I don't think Reforger will ever be better than 3 even when they fix the connection issues, its just a stepping stone to Arma4 afterall.
@@captainembers4521 from what i understand... ArmA Reforger literally IS ArmA 4 just with Cold War skin and different name... making ArmA Reforger actually ArmA 4 Early access Alpha... The same stage ArmA 3 went trough when it launched... remember Arma 3 alpha? And it's bugs? It came a long way since then... They are masking Arma 4 Alpha as a separate game callrd ArmA reforger... and all the work done on it... mods and development... will be in ArmA 4... since basically they can just copy paste Reforger and give it a different name ArmA 4... rip out the Cold War stuff... replace it with what ever stuff that's gonna be ArmA 4... and voila... you got ArmA 4... and Reforger mods work too since they are the same game lol so all the mods instantly get ported to ArmA 4 because no work is needed really It makes sense bro
@@kajmak64bit76 I 100% agree with you there, which is why I called it a "stepping stone" to ArmA 4. its currently ofc not very feature rich but stands as a great demo for their engine and with modding support that gives the community quite a bit to work with to go along as we wait for ArmA 4. but ArmA 3 has had many years of iteration on systems and modding support. and since Reforger will pretty much end up like a DLC for ArmA 4 i do not believe Reforger alone will live up to the amount of content ArmA 3 has to offer. that being said I think Reforger will eventually be a great experience in the coming months, and im very happy we have modding capabilities that will work with ArmA 4 so early on
@@CallMehTOMMEH yes I want arma 4 to be cold war remastere,my childhood dream would become really..always wanted cold war campaign with next get graphics and more advance mechanic's
I’d just be happy if they sorted out the bloody controls, keyboard/joystick button bind issues make it unplayable, trackIR has issues as well! Until then it’s a no go.
Probably bohemia dunafin, cuz they just grab some features from ACE mod and its still not enough to make a normal game since they just aiming right now only on the money grabbing marketing plan. Btw they can fix AI long before, but they dont give a single f* about it. Modders already created HETMAN in arma2 and a superior NR6 HAL AI for arma3. If you want to compare this games fairly, just try to compare the full modded arma 3 with ACE and this reforger aka arma4demo, because no one plays vanilla and will never play. I bet Bohemia are not going to make this game any "harder" and bring a new level of milsim realism, they just will try to sit on both sits all the way. Then the modder community will make again all this god damn mods in suffers of this monkey-jungle-code just to fix this god damn game. Why not introduce ACE mod into game fully and bring a new level of gameplay standards for everyone who play milsims? I'm fully sure their market/marketing department will be on butt-fire just only about any thought about this, cuz all what the bohemia is doing all the time is just spill a f* non playable piece of s*t on community, with some nonsense features and "balances" that forces arma-community just to redesign the whole gameplay from scratch once again. Its so painful to watch and know that this game is not anymore about features or some kind of milsim standards that is supposed to be, this game and all what bohemia is doing right now is just to try make another "game for everyone" to suck money from bf/cod/squad/etc shooter auditory. And who is gonna to fix a huge market-research/dev mistakes about their own game? Of-course a f* modding community and probably absolutely for free and this is so disgusting.
I Dont know what has been improved, but the game is unplayable, 9/10 times ai is snipping from 500m without scope and headshoting!! single playing in Arma reforger sucks hard!!
max 150 meters grass/fields-draw-distance is a joke. foliage just disappears, it ruins the whole game. here is a demonstration: ruclips.net/video/UxWMrg5RnSc/видео.html and btw, it should not even be an optional graphics setting. if 150m is the maximum this "new engine" can do, then at least lock it as fixed default value for EVERY PLAYER and EVERY SERVER. this must not be optional!
Today, 90% of the features you listed in Arma Reforger that weren't in vanilla Arma3 can easily be added using mods. I think today Arma3 + Mods is still the best choice in the world of milsim games today. While Arma Reforger is still significantly worse content...
people still can't connect reliably, the player count is at 150 players average, the company is still not doing anything about it, stay away from this game
I'm sorry you're having issues connecting. And yeah unfortunately the player count has reduced massively. I'm hoping they fix it asap as this game needs numbers to get top feedback to Bohemia for Arma 4.
Great vid Tommeh :)
Thank you so much for commenting this man. It really means a lot! Hope to see you on for a game sometime :)
5:24 The fact that AI is still holding its mag after death shows the crazy attention to detail

ArmA 4 is 100% gonna be a banger... you can say Arma 4 is going trough alpha phase right now with a Cold War skin on it... called ArmA reforger... remember how ArmA 3 was buggy when it first released in what? 2013? Coz it was in Alpha... well they are doing the same thing now but in a separate game... i can see Reforger being 100% ArmA 4 just with Cold War mod installed... so when ArmA 4 releases it's gonna be 100% ready and bug free since all of them got fixed in Reforger... and they just slap what ever skin which may be near-future thing again and voila you got ArmA 4
Sounds simple right? I belive that's what reforger is... it's literally ArmA 4 with a different Cold War skin...
If you want Arma 4 to be good get Reforger and report bugs xD
Reforger is like a hybrid of DayZ and Arma.. Arma 4 will be mind blowing.
You summed it up perfectly Andre :)
Reforger is ArmA 4 Early Access Alpha with Cold War skin
What you see in Reforger you will see in A4 just without the Cold War skin + development changes and improvements along the way
Reforger looks mad sick, sad that I don’t have the money to buy it rn, with it’s support only lasting for around a year I don’t think it’s worth it
Where did you get “around a year” from?
@@blackice3820 They actually said they'd support it for about 12 months, that's it.
@@blackice3820 I remember reading somewhere that reforger was just a testbed for Arma 4, getting the feedback of the community with like 12-13 months of support only before releasing Arma 4
Reportedly B.I will support Reforger for 1 year after full release. although, they have declined to say how long it would be until full release. As much as they've kept support promises for ArmA in the past, they've also broke them or moved the goal posts for DayZ. So take that as you may.
No, I believe they said that they plan on Reforger being in Early Access stage for around a year before release. I have the game, with around 80 hours on it, and I can tell you from experience this game needs a MAJOR update. Like, there isn't helicopters, planes, civilian clothing, and not a lot of guns on both sides. I got it cause a friend of mine asked me to get it cause he started an Arma3 community a few years ago and it didn't really fail, just was too late to the party. So, he decided to start a brand new Arma group with Reforger and I thought I'd give it a shot. The gameplay, gun mechanics, and graphics are all good, but there's too many bugs. It's enjoyable when you have a lot of people to play with, but just by yourself is super boring.
TL;DR WAIT to buy the game until they come out with a huge update.
For me one of the most important issues with Arma 3 was the game performance , unfortunately I don't hear much about that.
I covered that in the first video which can be viewed here ruclips.net/video/uEDM6fmC2ZY/видео.html
The TLDR is that it has been improved a lot but the proof will be in the pudding once we have full units (tanks, helicopters, planes etc) all being used at once. Currently, Reforger has a simple level of units, and so you would expect it to run well.
What about the awful mouse input? (negative acceleration)
It's pretty bad and I remember DayZ standalone having similar. Maybe they can patch it out like they did with DayZ
Shame that the first two comments i see are bots. Very cool video!
Not sure what's going on, YT seems to have a bot epidemic atm lol. They're deleted now. Thank you for watching though dude!
Is the game still buggy on xbox
Imo I wish they’d just ignore interior details, and make buildings fully destructible
That's interesting, how much of new features came from DayZ. Half of features mentioned in this video are from DayZ
And Arma 3 still better, cuz you can actually play it in multiplayer. Two months after lauching and still getting disconnected .-. ( i know its EA,but its a full online game where the online doesnt work ... That's the minimum they had to ensure before launching it )
Arma 3 still just has more in general. I don't think Reforger will ever be better than 3 even when they fix the connection issues, its just a stepping stone to Arma4 afterall.
@@captainembers4521 from what i understand...
ArmA Reforger literally IS ArmA 4 just with Cold War skin and different name... making ArmA Reforger actually ArmA 4 Early access Alpha...
The same stage ArmA 3 went trough when it launched... remember Arma 3 alpha? And it's bugs? It came a long way since then...
They are masking Arma 4 Alpha as a separate game callrd ArmA reforger... and all the work done on it... mods and development... will be in ArmA 4... since basically they can just copy paste Reforger and give it a different name ArmA 4... rip out the Cold War stuff... replace it with what ever stuff that's gonna be ArmA 4... and voila... you got ArmA 4... and Reforger mods work too since they are the same game lol so all the mods instantly get ported to ArmA 4 because no work is needed really
It makes sense bro
@@kajmak64bit76 I 100% agree with you there, which is why I called it a "stepping stone" to ArmA 4. its currently ofc not very feature rich but stands as a great demo for their engine and with modding support that gives the community quite a bit to work with to go along as we wait for ArmA 4. but ArmA 3 has had many years of iteration on systems and modding support. and since Reforger will pretty much end up like a DLC for ArmA 4 i do not believe Reforger alone will live up to the amount of content ArmA 3 has to offer. that being said I think Reforger will eventually be a great experience in the coming months, and im very happy we have modding capabilities that will work with ArmA 4 so early on
One day we will get good arma ai
I have a dream... haha
Lol
unlucky no editor for mission maker like eden??
Love too se it as always 😄
I want to see cold war campaign remaster
That would be amazing, is that the setting you want Arma 4 to have?
@@CallMehTOMMEH yes I want arma 4 to be cold war remastere,my childhood dream would become really..always wanted cold war campaign with next get graphics and more advance mechanic's
All this cool stuff, just to play LIFE mod.
Yeah there are some LIFE servers popping up already lol...if you can't beat em
Turn signals
That's a good one. Would you want it to be togglable through the interactive dashboard or a keybind?
@@CallMehTOMMEH interactive seems more realistic
Are you talking about vanilla arma 3 because modded arma 3 has 85% of what you talk about in this video.
I’d just be happy if they sorted out the bloody controls, keyboard/joystick button bind issues make it unplayable, trackIR has issues as well! Until then it’s a no go.
Thanks for commenting and for your continued support mate
Probably bohemia dunafin, cuz they just grab some features from ACE mod and its still not enough to make a normal game since they just aiming right now only on the money grabbing marketing plan.
Btw they can fix AI long before, but they dont give a single f* about it. Modders already created HETMAN in arma2 and a superior NR6 HAL AI for arma3.
If you want to compare this games fairly, just try to compare the full modded arma 3 with ACE and this reforger aka arma4demo, because no one plays vanilla and will never play.
I bet Bohemia are not going to make this game any "harder" and bring a new level of milsim realism, they just will try to sit on both sits all the way. Then the modder community will make again all this god damn mods in suffers of this monkey-jungle-code just to fix this god damn game.
Why not introduce ACE mod into game fully and bring a new level of gameplay standards for everyone who play milsims? I'm fully sure their market/marketing department will be on butt-fire just only about any thought about this, cuz all what the bohemia is doing all the time is just spill a f* non playable piece of s*t on community, with some nonsense features and "balances" that forces arma-community just to redesign the whole gameplay from scratch once again.
Its so painful to watch and know that this game is not anymore about features or some kind of milsim standards that is supposed to be, this game and all what bohemia is doing right now is just to try make another "game for everyone" to suck money from bf/cod/squad/etc shooter auditory.
And who is gonna to fix a huge market-research/dev mistakes about their own game? Of-course a f* modding community and probably absolutely for free and this is so disgusting.
Still no weapon resting wtf is that??
Adding this one to the improvement list, thanks man!
I Dont know what has been improved, but the game is unplayable, 9/10 times ai is snipping from 500m without scope and headshoting!! single playing in Arma reforger sucks hard!!
max 150 meters grass/fields-draw-distance is a joke.
foliage just disappears, it ruins the whole game.
here is a demonstration:
ruclips.net/video/UxWMrg5RnSc/видео.html
and btw, it should not even be an optional graphics setting.
if 150m is the maximum this "new engine" can do, then at least lock it as fixed default value for EVERY PLAYER and EVERY SERVER. this must not be optional!
Today, 90% of the features you listed in Arma Reforger that weren't in vanilla Arma3 can easily be added using mods. I think today Arma3 + Mods is still the best choice in the world of milsim games today. While Arma Reforger is still significantly worse content...
people still can't connect reliably, the player count is at 150 players average, the company is still not doing anything about it, stay away from this game
I'm sorry you're having issues connecting. And yeah unfortunately the player count has reduced massively. I'm hoping they fix it asap as this game needs numbers to get top feedback to Bohemia for Arma 4.
i hate roaring voice
ROAR
Look! I found 75 out of the 160 hardcore fans that actually play this garbage overpriced tech demo 😂
