ARMA Reforger is set in 1989 but is attemtping to ascend the ARMA series INTO THE FUTURE... it is currently is about as early access as a game can get, there really isn't much content to enjoy right now, and it is incredibly buggy, but can a Bohemia's latest installment to the ARMA series use this ninja surprise release to make staple innovations in the gaming industry as ARMA 3 and ARMA 2 did? Only time will tell, I think we can wait another 3 years for ARMA 4!

I feel Arma Reforger should not look like Arma 3's Early Acess physics wise. Love the more immersive additions with the watch and compass. Bar some basic animations looking poorer than existing animations in DayZ everything else is a BIG improvement minus the extra prone stance being removed.
I am starting to like the animations more as I experience them, they just have a lot more weight behind them than ARMA, but I guess it is a human body after all!
@@Psi Just a bit unatural is all, specifically the running animation. I do feel the human proportions are another massive improvement in Reforger. Back in Arma 3 the bodies seem a bit too long and the heads a bit too small compared to Arma 2 OA which was weird. Is Refoeger intended to be a remake of the Operation Flashpoint when the campaign is done?
@@GuyOnAChair I think you're absolutely right, but let's not forget that this is literally a testing platform for ArmA 4. They've had to create and utilise an entirely new engine altogether, and this can immediately be seen by the way vaulting now works, being able to climb on structures? To actually appreciate the scope of this one tiny change, in the previous games, if you managed to get on most structures (that weren't houses) your character would just float in the air and glide until it throws you to the ground and you either die completely, or lose most of your health. This is a clear indication to the way this engine works (not to mention the rain collision which is absolutely brilliant...).
My point being, is lots and lots and lots of work has been done behind the scenes that we wouldn't notice at face value when comparing it to the previous games, but look beneath the surface and you'll see a lot of changes. Give it more time, the movements, animations, the idle stances and ambience will be near-flawless for a sandbox game.
To the casual gamers, this game is not worth the money, but to people like us (I include you in this because you mention ArmA 2 OA, OF etc), this game is worth and, and will be worth it for all potential players when it's complete. And this isn't even ArmA 4... It's a testing ground. Big things to come!
Ohhh Arma... Please never change...
Honestly don't care if it's buggy temporarily, I'd rather it's released, has players, has content, more secure, multithreaded, giving proper frames and better performance (not just running on 1 core) and that is all I care about for that series. They could very easily make similar or better graphics and make it just have higher framerate; they were stuck with their old programming. Having sometimes 30-40fps online was always a joke on that game, it's playable but much was left broken. They'd have to eventually take a leap and leave their precious RV engine in the dust at some point in order to make Arma at least similar but perform more like Squad on UE4 or a UE5 game at least in rendering/networking and the other parts. I will miss the famous 'scroll wheel' or ][ menu, as it never failed me though. I will look forward to possibility of 'better AI' and truly some better things. Hoping it won't also take too long.
Ya know, I'm pleased. I totally didn't expect anything like this, but I can see the utility for BI. Essentially, it gives them a huge testbed for working on systems before implementing them into Arma 4. With the new engine, modders will be crating all sorts of new scenarios in no time, and I feel like the price is fair at $30.
As a guy who still has his OPF disc and hardcover all the way back from 2001. I'm really happy to be stepping onto Everon again.
I hope we'll be seeing Malden and Kolgujev next.
Someone, please recreate the campaign!
I'm sure someone will!
Very strange seeing the island redone as it is in the new arma I still have my opf copy as well man insane how games have progressed
ah come up with something new SHIT!
Technically the handguard on the M4/M16 family of rifles is just that, a handguard to protect from the barrel. It is entirely possible to have a functional rifle without one, however it is extremely ill advised as the barrel will get unbearably hot only after a magazine or so quickly fired.
I've witnessed barrels melt after full auto. After Hundreds of rounds going thru the rifle without letting it cool down the barrel will start to turn red hot.
@@chiefhowlingwolfhannibal7360 Oh yea of course. Even after an aggressive string of fire with a few mags my handguards get hot. Made me get a few of those plastic panels.
thanks for this great insight into the game ! Literally showed all the tiny details I was interested in and nobody else was showcasing!
Kinda wonky donkey, but happy to see a hint of what Arma 4 can be.
I just opened your channel in case you uploaded anything related to Reforger. Legit 18s after you uploaded this vid.
good timing man :)
Hey Psi
We played together for a while on TEAM ELAN Arma Life on Reforger
They have recently added a lot! Character and inventory are now saved correctly on d/c - no more vanishing items. There are multiple professions with levelling, licenses, police and medical. There are more stores and a few small quests with basic NPC conversation (go and pick me x amount of apples to make some juice etc) and the population is way higher now with 64 players all the time
Looks much more easier to navigate than Arma 3, which kind of makes me want to buy it. After 35 hours of editor I finally got into multiplayer today and kinda got bored cause server was tiny.
Before the vid ends I’m thinking this is a nice start, hoping they continue
Exciting news, can't wait for Arma 4. I hope the multiplayer gets fixed it looks big janks right now in reforger.
Nice to see mod disabling being more convenient. That’s probably my biggest gripe with Arma 3.
Yeah I am still trying out the whole enabling/disabling mods system as mods come out, but it seems VERY easy to turn on X mod, go in try it out in game master, turn on another mod, go back in, and spawn everything, hop on whatever server, without ever turning off your game, which is MASSIVE.
So is it directly connected to blender? By the time arma 4 comes out blender artists should have a huge catalog of assets. Blender is a company that deserves a lot of respect. I wish we had more companies like them. I will gladly shill for blender all day!
@@kxyodyodhdu not sure if you’re asking me or Psi, but unfortunately I can’t answer that one.
I would assume not, just because reforged is less of a game, and more of a proof of concept for their next game, so if they were going to do that I figure they’d wait until Arma 4 proper, because of licensing costs. But maybe? It’d definitely be cool if it was.
Good to see you still alive Lewis, excited to see what u have to say about this and whats to come
Thanks for the good overview.
As an xbox player that has watched you and many others play arma over the years, I'm so happy right now.
I've always wanted to try out life mods, scp/horror mod ops!
With the in house workbench modding tools available for console users as well as the dynamic mod downloads when joining servers is just amazing.
Can't wait for the game to take off!
Hope so man, would be very cool to see a game with such solid modding capabilities on console, maybe there are games like that on console in 2022? I'm not sure? But I don't think so.
Also - is your workshop on console the same as ours, aka it has the same listings as seen early on in the video?
@@Psi There is Skyrim and Fallout 4 with console modding capabilities.
From the xbox one and ps4 generations forward onto the next gen consoles (Series X/S and PS5)
Any games besides them and Arma reforger I don't know of any others being modifiable.
I just checked the workshop and did see a few of the mods listed from the video so I do believe that they are cross platform.
There are 8 pages as of me replying at the time.
As far as non movement based mods are concerned I think most mods for arma should be fair game access wise.
Unless modders can create complex movement/stance systems around the limits of controllers amount of buttons.
Life mods on console would probably be really popular
Whenever there is something new for Arma, I am instantly interested. Not because of Arma, but because I always hope that there will be a similar mod to the original dayz mod on Arma2
I think they overall improved Arma a lot already. Graphically it looks way better and for some reason I have an easier time spotting people. Not cuz they stand out more tho. Guessing distance also became easier for me.
The overall feel is also really nice. Not as clunky as it was before but also not really arcade like. The animations for entering vehicles and climbing is nice as well. As it adds to immersion. And since there is a mod that simply allows furniture destruction, it's safe to say they're working on more dynamic destructible environments. Not forgetting the fact that buildings actually have furniture that makes sense now. Really feels like the map, despite being a remake of an older map. Is handcrafted. Which gives me hope for Arma 4. Cuz immersion is key to a sim game, and to me there always was too much of these small details missing to actually get me immersed. But now it's different
Really looking forward to the game actually working, going to be a lot of fun once the servers don't kick you five minutes into every game.
I know you read all the comments so here's a fun fact:
Your biggest fan for over 10 years now (holy shit that's such a long time)
IDK LMAO :)
Also, I've confirmed Xbox players have the identical "workshop" tab to PC players, which has the same uploads that PC players have uploaded, which means consoles players can play with custom maps, weapons, vehicles etc, VERY cool.
fucking console game LOL
Cant believe they forgot to give you a free copy of this game :(
to be absolutely correct its not the first "arma" or rather ofp game on consoles XD there was a version of the OG operation flashpoint for consoles (Operation Flashpoint: Elite)
First person head bobbing still janky as ever
@@mrzazzaable as it should be!
i hope servers get fixed soon at least, from what ive played as a newer player to the franchise, ive had a blast
finally, it will be cool if we could have another life mod maybe it will bring more people to it or get more people playing arma life again
It’s not gonna be arma 4. But it’s the precursor
@@devildogentertainment4904 yeah but i can see one coming soon
@@jayfros1635 im positive there will be some sort of arma life lite on reforger. or maybe it wont be lite if 4 gets pushed back longer.
@@jakegreen5682 i think there will be one soon when more people start modding the game and finding out how to do it
10:09 the m16 will work the plastic around the barrel is just so you wont burn your hands when your shooting the barrel gets really HOT
I was looking forward to you releasing a video about arma 4. Thanks bud :D
Technically Arma was on the original Xbox as Operation Flashpoint: Elite, which was a port of "Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis", which was later renamed to "Arma: Cold War Assault" since let's be honest, this indeed feels like the early Arma game.
Good review!
Id love to see where this game is in 6 months.
Lewis you should do a whole video of the console version and see how it holds up. I think players looking to play Arma would love to see someone play it on console so they can see if it's worth buying.
I would love to, but I do not have the new Xbox on hand, I would be very curious to compare though!
@@Psi Damn I'd love to see a review on it fasho. I play Rust and the console version is rough. I wonder if reforger is playable.
@@ReAlism2 played the trial on series x, works like a charm but the controls are quite different from dayz
Not gonna lie, it’s kind of weird seeing people publish empty mods just to get the real estate
It's possible to use and create at the editor inside Reforger for the console version?
Be nice if u could create solo Rambo style missions...I just wish they focus on making AI Smart, everything from flanking and to taking cover.
man I cant imagine how good "DAYZ EPOCH" style gameplay will be if some cool moders take it in that direction... Im sad Im not that young anymore and wont have time as much as I used to play it on arma 2 :D
OH MY SOY ITS ARMA 5 I FRICKIN LOVE MILSIM!!
New Arma POGGERS 🤓
wow! amazing! i love
I would say it’s pretty good for what it is. I mean I’m not big on milsim but they are breaking new ground as far as bringing open world milsim into console which also has access to modding which nobody has ever done that before that I know of… I would say it’s something that will only get better and better in due time thanks to modders who are the real winners here. Let’s be honest modders are who keep this company alive and it looks like the devs provided to right tools for them and also console players too… so we will see in time where this goes. $30 is… eh tho for something only supported for 12 months…
You could free look while ADSing, at least in Arma3 with 3D and PIP scopes. Obviously, not with the 2D scopes (black screen with scope picture).
You are the OG of arma. What can we do to make Bohemia Interactive acknowledge that? You should fight for being the biggest arma 4 streamer. I know you can.
All these years of arma content when most forgot about it. I wanna see you conquer arma 4 like nobody else!
there is definitely a consolization/arcadeification of Arma in reforger for sure.
I really hope they can bring back the old suv, tanks, planes and helis plus the armed variants. I miss my arma2 wasteland server which was a blast with constant missions and fights popping up plus cherno must come back.
Give it some time, im sure they've probably got some more stuff made to be released but wanted to start small to narrow down any problems. Im really curious to see how aircraft function.
@@ohy2266 They only have 3 core content updates for this game planned that will take place over 12 months as for all the old a2 stuff it can be ported over to the new engine and would be allowed unlike when people ported stuff to dayz sa witch was not.
The real question on everyone's mind: Will we all get more than 30 FPS?
Dittto
Anyone with gtx1660 had the courage? 😮
2k 60fps, the dream
@@Adr1an511 gtx1070. ultra settings. running somewhere around 45-80fps
yes, but this time you get randomly disconnected instead. even worse on higher population servers
@@Nadaters give it some time. Its not working playably rn thats true.
@@pallovilikkumafia5023 shieeeeet they didnt lie it runs good, first signs of epoch and im buying it, thx dude
I'm currently watching your second Reforger stream so maybe you've already seen it but have you seen the workshop lately? Specifically one mod on there? It looks pretty frickin' sweet.
What frickin mod?
@@Psi Jimbo Testing
Edit: Just saw they left a message in the description as well.
@@DCGMatthew1 ohhh lol yeah that was Jimbo, I've known him for many a year :) here is a clip of my reaction:
clips.twitch.tv/WimpyCrepuscularGorillaBrainSlug-zPe1CdrKBJ0RFyL1
@@Psi Haha, yeah, I know of Jimbo. I thought you probably saw it during the stream. I had the same reaction to seeing it.
Oddly - not seeing your position on the map adds a lot of realism. I spent an hour with a friend driving around trying to find our way - just using sign posts and occasionally stopping to ask other players where we were. That was strangely enjoyable especially at night with the rain pouring down.
There will be difficulty levels so that you will be able to change this option - for example if you have a GPS you'll get an accurate map location on the GPS screen.
Can wait for a no zombies dayz mod for this game it’s gonna actually be fun asf
I still prefer Arma 3 controls and functions right now but Reforger is fun and I hope they implement the full amount of controls later on or into Arma 4
Well least for now we have a new dayz map and a new game to play role play on
amazing mate
hahahah erno im calling u on discord
@@Psi okay mate running to the telli now
@@3RNO. bro really running to the "telli"
No fan in their right mind will wait another year to play Arma 4 when they can play Reforger now. If they can, they have great discipline.
Its funny to say that it feels weird not to be scared of dying to random objects when jumping onto stuff in arma. If ykyk.
its really a mixed but what i dont get is why there was no trailers and stuff to promote this?
Either way, my fav thing is the lighting and weather. Really great stuff but combat and all that needs to be worked on but seems like in a few months it will be great im sure.
Add ATV and make it a death trap, just do it bohemia
you know its a new better Engine when you fall under the map with the camera wich couldn't be archived in ArmA 3
yeah you literally couldnt fall "under" the map/terrain in ARMA 2 (?) or 3 at least, the terrain was the bottom of existence :P
@@Psi i know
Ainda acho que a Bohemia não deveria seguir conforme o modismo dos desenvolvedores atualmente, um modo campanha sempre fará falta pra muitos jogadores fiéis a franquia
Areet matey ! Its so strange hearing a fellow northerner say 30 dollars lol 😂❤️love your content pal ! Op Reforge almost look like if arma 3 and tarkov had a baby and it makes me smile lol . Cold war era looking stuff looks awesome aswell ☺️
good intro rofl
Breaking Point Reforger!
One would think bohemia would learn fix the collision physics that plagued the Arma 3 community.
But since there is mod support, doesnt that mean, even tho it might not be a full game, modders would still be able to mod jets, boats, guns, life mods, etc into the game with time?
I doubt anyone would want to put their time in that, this game is honestly just not worth the effort anyways, just play arma 3 or wait for the next one
Grass needs Further rendering distance
Commenting for algorithm
what a nice guy
I haven't seen anyone actually take the grenade launcher off. I might do that today just for laughs.
Yes, I am a true innovator of the game.
I'm one of those freaks that really enjoys buggy early access games. Especially with proximity voip
Multiplayer FPS seems just like the old days kek
🥳
I remember when DayZ was empty too, Now look at it
yes, go sleep for 5 years :)
The animation all looks hand made, which is a shame. I would expect BI to be able to mo-cap soldiers at this point.
ya the ragdolls are my biggest diproblem
It looks like Operation Flashpoint Remastered)))
ik we have standalone but does anyone think that reforger would be a perfect game to make a good remastered version of the arma 2 dayz mod
Imagine Dayz running on Enfusion engine
so I HEARD THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT FOR ARMA 4
Want that game so badly, but steamdb says, there are only 200 ppl in this game. This is sad.
It will recover eventually!
👽
Wait are they gonna add any more content??
I believe they are gonna support the game for a year or so. Probably add a little more content but rely on the modding community to keep the game alive.
@@SirBrandan ok
@@abram4806 basically test demo for arma 4
@@MirrorRealityHD they will probably add content they said that they will be working on this for a year
Press G for Gear
thank god there doing modern day stuff i absolutely hated the futuristic bull shit
Yeah, I mean ARMA 3 wasn't TOO futuristic, but I really do hope ARMA 4 is completely modern, like ARMA 2 releasing in 2009 set in 2009, looking for ARMA 4 to be set in 2024 would be epic.
imagine they moved dayz to this engine
DayZ is "half on enfusion" kinda ordeal, no?
@@Psi true! I They were also supposed to bring the new Vehicle simulation physics from this to DayZ months ago. Dunno what's up with the holdup. Maybe they were waiting for this to come out ? Hopefully they'll do it soon. And if they managed to bring this rendering into the DayZSA ooooof !! that lighting looks so good
bruh im hoping they at least put this onto the PS5 or something because i dont wanna have to wait another 2-3 years for Arma 4
According to leaks it should come eventually.
@@Psi I was assuming but I wasn't sure so thanks
Idk. We'll see where it goes, especially with the modders getting involved, but right now charging 30 bucks for people to test out their new engine for them seems a bit much.
personal first impression? payed $30 for the tutorial and zeus editor which has broken ui and assets, and I can't even get to the best part of the multiplayer because it says session error every time i try to join a session private or public hosted. so yeah i guess the multiplayer is a dlc addon or something i didn't pay for? lmao classic arma
yes, it is very unplayable right now, and normally I am p negative, but like I said the trio of solid VOIP, easy mod support/console mod support and a SMALL bump in looks and performance seems like it could be easily a more complete experience than A3 in the not so far future, but I could be wrong!
As long as it identifies as a Humvee, I think you can call it a Humvee. Even if it was assigned as AH-1 Cobra at birth
It's not 2016 anymore, dude. Joke's dead.
@@ProductionsBlueberry At least 2 people disagree with you. Besides, time is an illusion.
Timeline of the game is 1980s I believe.
1989 yh
Looks like a good start, im not sure would i put my money on it right now tho. I hope they are not pulling that "want more vehicles? here yall go buy this dlc" bullshit
I believe this game has been confirmed to not have DLC, and ultimately, I cannot emphasise enough how the mod are implemented here, you click join, it tells you "ok download these mods", you click okay, you join, it's that easy. A system this good makes mods a lot more powerful, being able to easily turn the correct mods off/on without a restart of your client. Powerful mods means DLC isn't even as big of a deal too.
what key to change time ?
It's in the bottom left or "V" to open the menu in game master.
You can shoot an m16/ ar15 with no handguard
people saying arma is dead... Wut?! this is just a tech demo don't judge so fast and plus this engine looks soooo much better! I'd love to see what mods will make this game in the far future! arma 4 in 2025 guys that isn't anytime soon so give it time damn. lol
I don't understand why there are 32 player severs the maps too big 64 min 100 should be a thing on xbox atleast
A lot of this looks like BI took from mods like Ace movements with vaulting and climbing :v comms reminds me of ACRE 2 or TFAR
I'm slightly disappointed with no stance changing though for me stances are a big part of firefights.. hopefully BI decide to change that for at least A4
I imagine we will get plenty of new things added to reforger over time, and that A4 would be alot more feature rich and polished (thanks to testing in reforger)
ArmA 3 death animations? 🤣 You mean the jelly arms 'I've been tasered' death animation lol
i mean arma 3 doesn't have animations, the character just straight up ragdolls, they are funny :)
10:19 That is possible but not recommended as you will get burned... hard.
Its Arma 3 with Dayz mechanics
you need to have a gps to show your position on the map just like all the arma games its like you did not spend the last 15 years playing these games
there is a button to locate yourself in ARMA 3 whether you have a GPS or not, or am I mistaken?
The turd can now be polished
Team killing is high with this game lemme tell ya
wait yall can actually join servers .
daddy daniel
nothing worse than arma 3 death animations, i really like the death animations
Geez just me or is the bug part of the video like 20fps hurts my eyes so much
Sorry, but the I obviously couldnt recapture the bugs WITHOUT the lag :
it could make gta in this game
