I genuinely thought that was modded for a minute but if this is actually base game that’s sick! Can’t wait to play it myself reforger definitely needs more single player content!
@@blackoutlol2857OF Dragon Rising was on console, and definitely my seccond favorite “Arma” game besides Arma 3. Really great campaign, something missing from the arma series, I hope Arma 4 has a good campaign
Had a go at it yesterday - felt almost like playing OFP Resistance..... All I miss is the (understandable) radio dialogues and narrative of a campaign.... When they decide to make a campaign using this engine, its going to be really impressive! Perhaps in Arma 4 (hope for a reforger campaign though :D )..
So the game play in the video is not the solo version mentioned in the title. It Multiplayer game play. In the solo game no progress is ever saved.....so you cant play for a few hours. shutdown and then comeback and pick up from where you left off....Why? .....Who does that?......Major oversight.
This looks exactly like what I've been wanting. Reforger got me in to Arma. Tried out ANISTASI but I really only want to play in Reforger. Excited to try this
Amazing breakdown of the new update and gameplay! Can’t thank you enough Ironbeard for bringing this game to light. Looking forward to seeing this update on stable platform!
It absolutley baffles me as why they made the decsisiion to release this mission with absolute no way to save your progress. so frustrating as no point playing this game this mechanic is enabled.
22:10 man, the driving mechanics in AR are SO much better than A3! I just love it! Surely there’ll be an Everon rally mini-game at some point?! Great vid! Love your stuff, mate, keep it coming! ❤️
Thanks for making this video. Thos is something I have really been waiting on. After hundreds of hours on Arma 3 Antistasi, I have really been craving something similar that works for reforger.
My issue is that ai can spot me from 1,000 meters in a bush with full camo, when I haven't even fired a shot. And then they can shoot the legs off a flea from a mile away. Even cracked players haven't ruined my gameplay as much as the ai seem to be. It's absurd.
Another game that this new game mode reminds me of is Ghost recon wildlands and it's sequal breakpoint. Those games have similar mechanics. Namely the hidout system, and friendly ai to help with some objectives. It is very cool to see and is exactly the kind of thing i want from arma pve
@@rampantporcupineandfriends3793 I highly recommend Breakpoint + First Person Mod + Spartan Mode (a mod that makes the game much more similar to an actual tactical shooter, enemies have sharper senses, damage output is increased, etc...). It's very very immersive and you can also sorta roleplay it. Also it can be brutally hard.
Me & my buddy discovered this gem this weekend, after playing TONS of DRO in Arma 3. I was wondering tho, is there any way to save progress and come back to it? Or do we have to start fresh each time?
I personally have nightmares about my one solo combat op I’ve ran idk why everyone thinks they aren’t a challenge. Now in the multiplayer modded server im on I’ll admit the Russian AI is definitely goofy but when I fought them alone it was terrifying honestly. Granted I haven’t gone solo since playing multiplayer (PvE only for me) but it would seem like every time I even dared to make my presence known let alone taking a shot or two with my m16 then I would have to absolutely circle, displace and generally run for like 5 minutes just for a chance for the AI not to randomly hide in a bush and then blast me when I take one step wrong. Attacking alone is a huge challenge compared to having 20-80 players backing you up haha just saying.
I just finished the tutorial "missions" and I will try this. It looks very fun, I love that there is AI because joining a live PVP server is kind of intimidating for me even though it probably shouldn't be. How do you navigate to this mission or game mode ?
A ghost recon mod type thing would be sick (where ai have blind spots still and not aim bot)(also i mean like shaders wise to make the game look better) it'd also be cool if they made it to where you can give ai voice commands through your mic that would be sick
Hell I just play solo I used to play with my fiancé until she left a couple weeks ago. So I just run with random squads and still have some laughs and a fun time.
PVE and PVPVE has a *lot* of potential in Reforger, I'd love to see the Arma 3 "Capture The Island" Gamemode added, where Blufor (or Opfor) go to sectors, Clear them, and finish the objectives, when they are put up against Blu/Opfor AI, Maybe even have some players that can join as the opposing team to defend the sector
Played Operation Flashpoint back in the day and Operation Flashpoint Resistance was so cool. Trying to ambush convois without destroying them and then get the stuff before reinforcments are coming was such a great feeling. As i saw in the comments that this does not really work for solo players. Any workaround for it
So is this an offline co-op thing as well? I feel like that was the biggest flaw on release. You had limited singleplayer stuff, then the online servers. But no inbetween for you to team up with just a few friends to have fun. If thats the case this is even more awesome than I originally thought.
The ai is actually scary, i took out a small base of enemies an while i was lootin a random truck pulled up so i hid in the attic of a house an they came inside i could hear them searching downstairs an they even turned on the radio an had a conversation before leaving while i was terrified upstairs with my rifle lol
I suddenly had an “Arma 1.1 solo campaign for XSX” in my recommended list. I don’t know why it’s taken over a year but I had no idea Arma was on XSX! I’ve even seen Arma videos in the last couple of years but not for Xbox. So now I’m subbing and dinging bells even with non Xbox channels. So erm… hi! Can anyone tell me if there are mods to make campaign more like an action shooter? Like (gulp) easier?
Wish the campaign was pro-soviet :c There's none to very few soviet games after the WW2 period, its such a shame. Specially with the contrast with pro-NATO/US/West Europe narratives we see arround all the time.
I am a bit nervous about the AI update. In most games where they try to make the AI enemies more challenging it just ends up being overpowered, hopefully that isn't the case here.
If they have the same AI adjustment options in Reforger as they had in A3, AI could be made hyper-intelligent or hyper-lethal, or both. There are options for targeting, info transfer, tactics etc. in A3.
Honestly, I cba to watch the whole video atm, so maybe you can answer this. Does combat ops offer ai squad members like that of Antistasi Ultimate in Arma 3? -EDIT: I am playing solo as I have no friends. x)
Through Scenarios tab or if you're looking to play with other people, search through the server tab for servers hosting Combat Ops, wont be a lot on Experimental but there should be at least 1 Or 2
Through the Scenario Tab in the main menu thats your single player options, you can do combat ops or if you want to learn how to play conflict, the scenarios offer various flavors of conflict for single player.
You can play solo missions but you can't save your progress yet. There's a save and continue option but they do nothing, you'll have to restart the mission each time :(
This has bin a mod for almost 6 months overthrow Everon we want more military type combat ops, options on GM, mission objective props pick ups intel kill HVT, capture objectives etc.... we as game masters can build our own combat ops.

@@Johnnytobassco without a doubt! Really wish the older games (arma 2 and 3) were ported to console but I know I’d probably be disappointed.

I started it. Promptly got lost, flipped my jeep then got lit up by a patrol. At least I got to admire the beautiful scenery while bleeding out.
Vanilla Reforger is perfect in my eyes; no need for mods. Can't wait for fully destructible environments.
omg they gonna add it?
True but doing some Nam or Ukraine is pretty dope to great game all and all
@@GOREGOREECW it is a fair distance away, but yes, it’s on the road map.
Still needs ai teammates command
Im playing on coop Server with modern weapons.
Damn, games so beautiful and all the modern stuff works flawless
After playing this game mode for a few days I can definitely say this mode holds replayability better than anything out rn on arma reforger
22:10 man, the driving mechanics in AR are SO much better than A3! I just love it! Surely there’ll be an Everon rally mini-game at some point?!
Great vid! Love your stuff, mate, keep it coming! ❤️
Playing reforger on a coop Server with modern arsenal...really hard to go Back to Arma3.
I hope they add vehicle combat.
I want to Use my weaopon in a vehicle.
@@hanswurst9437 💯 same here, I’ve got 3,000+ hours on A3. Barely been back since AR came out. AR is 1% of A3, but that 1% is SO good!
I hope they fix the jank, driving over a bump in multiplayer can make you lag all over the place and crash
Thanks for making this video. Thos is something I have really been waiting on. After hundreds of hours on Arma 3 Antistasi, I have really been craving something similar that works for reforger.
New ps5 player here. For context, ive played about 15 minutes if multiplayer this week, and about 15 hours of solo combat ops. 10/10, would recommend
My issue is that ai can spot me from 1,000 meters in a bush with full camo, when I haven't even fired a shot. And then they can shoot the legs off a flea from a mile away. Even cracked players haven't ruined my gameplay as much as the ai seem to be. It's absurd.

Have you ever played the Ghost Recon Breakpoint First person mod?
@raidermaxx2324 No I have not. Do you enjoy it?
@@rampantporcupineandfriends3793 i did. I figured you might as well .
@raidermaxx2324 That sounds like something that would be fun to try. thanks for letting me know about it.

would be good if the rendered the grass/textures through the binocs / scopes. would stop you from being able to pick people apart so easy 😮
Would be nice if AI couldn’t see through grass at closer ranges since we can’t see through it
With some gore this will go pretty hard
Me & my buddy discovered this gem this weekend, after playing TONS of DRO in Arma 3. I was wondering tho, is there any way to save progress and come back to it? Or do we have to start fresh each time?
For anyone wondering like I did this is on the experimental version of the game. 🙂
And that means?
@@Cheesafoothat means it’s not out on the base version…
it's on the experimental branch and that means things may be more unstable
Unfortunately you cannot save your progress locally. It's reset on load. So, not suitable for SP yet. Unless, you'll rent a server.

When it's suppose to they will add all those new features on the normal version?
There's like a exact date or approx?
Gunplay looks and sounds good

i have said it from the start. Bohemia could have released an remaster or remake of OFP campaign in this game. If they do. I will play it!
How did you get the binoculars to work?
where do you find combat ops, looked on steam couldn't fine it. thanks
its a game mode in Arma Reforger.
Hell I just play solo I used to play with my fiancé until she left a couple weeks ago. So I just run with random squads and still have some laughs and a fun time.
Sorry to hear that brother.
Reforger is so beautiful ❤
Love the amount of detail and so much harder to see your targets.
Curious to see how this AI will compare to the Arma 2 + Smart AI Mix one
another great vid ironbeard ✌️ love the content and as always thanks for keeping us informed :))
how exactly do you play solo? scenarios menu and host your own private server?
Are we able to install this now or when does it release on the Workshop?
can this be done coop?
Is this new mode on console as well?
Did they change the lighting?
Yep they sure did
def seems better, i just want them to be decent at driving, flying would be cool but im sure that will be a while
PVE and PVPVE has a *lot* of potential in Reforger,

How do u add mods to it?
Is the ai better now on editor?
How do you get vehicles in this mode?
How do I access the experimental
It appears right next to normal reforger on steam.
Does everything need an ad?
So when is this out?
Combat ops is fun to play, i only wonder how do i secure the intellingence i found?
Is there any way to get optics in this mode?
Yes? Ak74N comes with spike optic
Played Operation Flashpoint back in the day and Operation Flashpoint Resistance was so cool. Trying to ambush convois without destroying them and then get the stuff before reinforcments are coming was such a great feeling. As i saw in the comments that this does not really work for solo players. Any workaround for it
Omg this looks so good, this is exactly what i wanted in reforger!
Whats the purpose of Map ? I cant even see my location where i am
What is the purpose of any paper map? Do you know what a map is? Or have you never seen a non digital map? Lol tf
Map + compass + a landmark = know your location
So is this an offline co-op thing as well? I feel like that was the biggest flaw on release. You had limited singleplayer stuff, then the online servers. But no inbetween for you to team up with just a few friends to have fun. If thats the case this is even more awesome than I originally thought.
Good, the game goes in the right direction
Does anyone know if there’s helicopters in the combat ops mode?
The ai is actually scary, i took out a small base of enemies an while i was lootin a random truck pulled up so i hid in the attic of a house an they came inside i could hear them searching downstairs an they even turned on the radio an had a conversation before leaving while i was terrified upstairs with my rifle lol
I suddenly had an “Arma 1.1 solo campaign for XSX” in my recommended list.
I don’t know why it’s taken over a year but I had no idea Arma was on XSX! I’ve even seen Arma videos in the last couple of years but not for Xbox.
So now I’m subbing and dinging bells even with non Xbox channels. So erm… hi!
Can anyone tell me if there are mods to make campaign more like an action shooter? Like (gulp) easier?
Bro.. How are you struggling?
Yes! whatever this is lol. Just got this game and know it just gets better.
i dont see this game mode is it in the experimental version
Wish the campaign was pro-soviet :c
There's none to very few soviet games after the WW2 period, its such a shame.
Specially with the contrast with pro-NATO/US/West Europe narratives we see arround all the time.
Long live the FIA! Freedom for Everon!
I am a bit nervous about the AI update. In most games where they try to make the AI enemies more challenging it just ends up being overpowered, hopefully that isn't the case here.
Ready or Not is the best example, I mean they destroyed that game.
Players are still harder to kill than AI. I want them to be roughly equal in power.
If they have the same AI adjustment options in Reforger as they had in A3, AI could be made hyper-intelligent or hyper-lethal, or both. There are options for targeting, info transfer, tactics etc. in A3.
I've been playing this game every since it came out
I always play insurgency sandstorm solo games and it’s always challenging and fun, wish other games could do that
Honestly, I cba to watch the whole video atm, so maybe you can answer this. Does combat ops offer ai squad members like that of Antistasi Ultimate in Arma 3? -EDIT: I am playing solo as I have no friends. x)
How do you start your own match of combat ops?
Go to scenarios in the menu, mate. It's in there.
Through Scenarios tab or if you're looking to play with other people, search through the server tab for servers hosting Combat Ops, wont be a lot on Experimental but there should be at least 1 Or 2
Is the full auto m16 a mod?
It’s prolly the A2 variant
Think it’s a m16a2 carbine
It is the newer Commando Carbine version, the A2 rifle is still burst however
You had me with drifting that Skoda 105 .. insta buy
Awesome.... now we need this AI with a reforger antistasi mod
How do I join it
is this update already out?
Not yet, its on experimental branch.
@@SirIronbeard do you know when it will be out?
Is any part of this game available to play offline without internet? Or is Solo just PVE online?
No, no, this is single player my dude. So you can enjoy it alone or with friends. All you gotta do is have Arma Reforger Experimental installed.
Through the Scenario Tab in the main menu thats your single player options, you can do combat ops or if you want to learn how to play conflict, the scenarios offer various flavors of conflict for single player.
PS scenarios also offer a conflict tutorial called Training
You can play solo missions but you can't save your progress yet. There's a save and continue option but they do nothing, you'll have to restart the mission each time :(
This looks amazing! I assume this mode is not yet available on console, though?
Yeah. This mode is available on the Xbox version now. It plays pretty much the same as well. It changes the feel of Reforger completely.
you cant save it?
Doesn't save for me. They almost had a good game mode there... One crash and you lose everything.
where is the workshop? I cant find it where it usually is on Steam?
you got my sub...was waiting on reforger for some good single player content for a long time. Keep up with the updates...best wishes.
Tried to play it solo way to hard for me but it was supper cool
Even when I'm un armed the ai fires at me
I wish they could drive
Awesome
I just want 2 player co-op on custom maps
Nice break from sweating in pvp!
i honestly dont know how to set it up so my boy can join. It just gives him an error
I love pve so much
Been playing this game for a month and had no idea that the 40mm m16 had full auto…. You really learn something everyday on this game…
That's the M16 Carbine on the experimental branch which will release in a few weeks
Loving the game mode, can’t save on console but that’s fine I just play for hours killin groups of soviet troops and taking my time!(:
Make Exile or just stop ...or arma 4
You need to get rifles with a scope 😂
FIA are too broke for optics lol
Nice ai with randoms i love it
This has bin a mod for almost 6 months overthrow Everon we want more military type combat ops, options on GM, mission objective props pick ups intel kill HVT, capture objectives etc.... we as game masters can build our own combat ops.
It's very different to Overthrow mod
Going on 2025 and you can't actually add a save feature and AI bots. I won't buy it until then.
When you said you can here abt the fights on the radio its in Russian
Nice video.
Everyone checking their discord at 11:05 lol
Alexa, is that you?
Those rifles are FAR too controllable in automatic fire.
Nah, it's not that good as a solo player.
would be better if the ai could drive and fly
please give us DayZ 2 with this engine, BIS, pleeeeease...
Dayz 2? lmao only if you knew how many Dayz modes there have been in arma you would be calling it dayz 5
