To correct myself in this video, **sub-stances** are in Reforger. They're even better too. I just never noticed/found the hotkey to do it so I thought it wasn't in the game yet.
For someone who's been playing ARMA for the past 8 years, it's a very brilliant reconstruction of the franchise. Arma 4 is going to be B R E A T H T A K I NG .
@@jendabekCZ the major geographical & architectural elements are what matter most to me when it comes to LOD switching configs. They seem to be pretty mint in this little preview & it gets me excited to see that. Especially since this is right off the rip, so we will get 5-10 years of development improving it from where its at right now.
@@Yuxim how about AI pathing in vehicles? Keep running into the same wall over and over again lmao. I'd be playing arma commander mod on A3 and they do that sometimes.
My jaw dropped when I saw this on steam yesterday. Movement, concealment, shadows, animations are all the fundamentals of any infantry combat, seeing that they are all leages better than Arma 3 is essential and amazing.
Bro what it looks like shit compared to battlefield 4 an 11 year old game lol I honestly cannot believe where we are at with today's gaming, it's like everybody has jumped to a timeline of shitty games and music.
I was working on a mod for Squad and adding vehicle interiors was my main field of work. I am really happy to see BI making interiors and I hope we will soon finally have a full 100% immersion experience for APCs and Tanks and it will become a gaming industry standard. For people not related to the military, being able to be inside a fully modeled tank and press all the buttons would be absolutely mind blowing. Me personally - when I studied one of the vehicles and found out about every button and what its used for, I realized that there are hundreds of different gameplay mechanics that could be implemented to make the game more fun.
I just feel that the devs felt nostalgic for the first arma cold war game and wanted to bring it back. And to give us a early feel what ArmA 4 will be or might be. In my opinion. This is cool. I can't wait for the modders to go nuts with this new game and what can be made and done.
I hope we'll get modern 4th generation warfare reflecting the world today instead for ArmA 4. I've seen enough ERDL camo, M16's and plain AK-74's, I wanna see guerrillas wearing multicam using a crazy variety of weaponry from their arms suppliers fighting an equally varied state. Syrian Arab Army with support from the Ruskies and loyalists fighting Daesh and other militia. Ukrainian pro-Russian militia, the Russian army, wagner PMC, chechens fighting the extremely varied Ukrainian military and their foreign mercenaries. ArmA 3 kinda tried this with the east wind campaign but the factions were boring as were their equipment and the missions were extremely linear. I feel no other game has even attempted to reflect the current state of warfare properly.
@@21babydew So are Post Scriptum, Squad, and a few more. And if you are going to say that there is a lot more than the fighting involved in arma and that classifies it as a Milsim I am also gonna introduce you to the War-Sim Foxhole. You mine, refine, build and ship the weapons you use to kill the enemy thus it would rank higer in that regard.
@@MannyXVIII I wouldn't class foxhole as a mil sim as much as a war sim but yes I've played them all and ... squad is easily my favorite. However if it wasn't for arma/project reality we wouldn't have these games more then likely and when I think of a milsim I think arma as do most people I beleive because until dayz came out and sort of made arma 2 explode in popularity. The milsim genre was kinda dead it was all first person shooters or old outdated game id argue without dayz we wouldn't of had what we got with arma 3.
It doesnt have one and probably never will, at least officially. On the other hand, BIS will probably give the tools and support for a bunch of talented modders to remake the original Cold War Crisis campaign, just like they did for Arma 1, 2 and 3.
Looking forward to Arma 4. I'm one of those niche groups who just enjoy playing aroubd in Eden editior, making up scenarios and just watching the ai fight each other, but the performance suffers so much when you add too much stuff and the ai even stops functioning properly. Hopefully this new engine can handle large loads and Ai better like you said.
1:57 Substances are actually still in the game. If you hold control and use your scroll wheel, instead of adjusting your walking speed, you incrementally change your stance.
Thank god they didn't remove that. One of my favourite aspects of Arma, and greatly underused by other players much to my annoyance, but hey, not everyone wants to live longer or shoot better. Also *Sub-stances :p I don't think "substances" are in the game...
Amazing breakdown video. This game makes me extremely happy for the future of Arma especially with prioritizing stability and performance. I can only imagine what fully modded servers are going to look like a year form now.
I'm just totally pumped for the new physics overhaul. for years we've put up with "Arma moments" and gone out of our way to change tactics and gameplay preference in order to maintain immersion and reduce their frequency.
That alone is probably the single biggest improvement, followed closely by performance. The fact that the textures, shading, and lighting are so improved *and it still runs better than 3* is... well I guess not that surprising. We all knew that.
I haven't seen any vehicles fly into the sky because they hit a peble in reforger yet I have seen a few trucks fly high in the sky like stealth bombers, and cars flipping a little too easy Overall the physics are quite nice, even doors function properly now it's insane!
The aerial movement really shows how well optimized things are so far. Personally never played any ARMA games but I can tell the developers have come a long way and learned from the past.
All the ANIMATIONS and SHOOTING are so much smoother now. The lights, effects, PIP scopes, view distance, visuals, vehicle interiors with added animations... so gooood. Just imagine what Arma 4 would look like.
ArmA 3 was also released in Early Access with minimal amount of content initially and look at it now, Reforger seems to follow its steps. So dont worry guys, we will get much more eventually
That is true. Also DayZ ist a great game today. As Drew points out, it took some time to get to this state. But think about what developing status DayZ was in, when it launched vs Arma Reforger. I think Reforger is way ahead at this point and may develop faster than DayZ did.
@@LOL2YOU if you're not interested in checking out the engine, don't bother buying it. Keep in mind they also included a built-in mod creator, so within a small amount of time people are gonna start creating mods for this
@@jamega4000 I ended up pulling the trigger. Huge modern and I'm getting better with unreal engine so I think I'm going to try to make some mods once I get used to the engine more.
I absolutely love the implementation of walk speed controlled by mouse wheel like Tarkov, Star Citizen also does this and it's an all around perfect way to control your movement while also adding an RP element to it.
I love how this is Cold War setting - return to roots of Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crysis. So much more atmospheric than yet another generic desert, modern, war on terror vibes. This looks awesome!
@@generikusername I wasn't referring to the Arma serie, but to the FPS genre overall. But futuristic Arma3 wasn't atmospheric as well, general emphasis on realism and fictional made up equipment wasn't a good synergy.
the theme of wester war in desert is so overused, why is there no game with the war in the arctic with insane sniper rifles, subs, thermal goggles, oil rigs, oil pipes, survival elements, snow mobiles with mounted MGs, cool snow building mechanics, concealment, satellite image recon, electronic warfare, etc.
It looks and plays so nice. I love all those animations. Instead of popping in into vehicle and telepatic vehicle operation in other games, here we can see animations for entering/exiting vehicles and animation for ignition, gear change ETC. For me this adds a TON to immersion! I own ARMA 3, played it for some hours but I was not impressed to stay and play lots of hours there. I see here more immersion. If ARMA 4 will have such immersion and realism then I am sold xD
For me, I'll be getting it more for nostalgia. I loved the old Operation Flashpoint, as buggy and limited as it was. However, really when compared to what was out at the time there was no completion. I for one am really looking forward to seeing what they do with reforger.
Drew, I just wanna leave this out here… Big props to this well edited video in such short time man. You seriously distinguish yourself again unlike the others youtubers, well done bro and keep it up 👊🏽
The animations look so good. I cant believe this is an ARMA title. Now I'm just worried if my PC will handle it. Its sounds like they've streamlined so many systems I'm so excited. This must have taken so much work.
@@Lofi.z34 don't forget that this is a test bed and that they'll be working on things. It's by no means done, small errors in animations shouldn't really be harped on at this time.
Looking at how DICE screw up speedrunning a new engine and a new game at the same time, it feels pretty good knowing Bohemia at least got their new engine working fine and stable, so they can now focus on the gameplay details of the upcoming ARMA 4.
I think that this is much bigger think for us console players than long time fans of arma. We haven't have anything like this on consoles before and we HAVE TO show, that there are onsole players who want to play mill sims
having seen the modding tools just now, as far as I can see nothing is stopping people from making new terrains, game modes, weapons and vehicles. So hopefully this game will last a long time.
@@ShadowGhostHD They def won't give a discount to Arma 4 as it will probably have heaps load more content than this, but Reforged will probably go dirt cheap
@@ShadowGhostHD I think the whole idea of Reforged was them to see what the modders can do and at the same time test how the mods work. So they could maybe even use them in arma 4 i think? So i guess that is a fair point. At least for now that there is not so much mods. They just gave a new platform for modders which I wont complain :D just waiting for the 4th.
I hope one day we will have a game as large as ARMA , as detailed and functional as DCS. I would LOVE naval warfare to be included. Can you imagine your friends on a sub launching a Special forces team to take out SAM sites for the fighters 80 miles away on a carrier?
Yes!! I had no idea Bohemia was working on part four. This just made my year. It looks fantastic! Arma has needed to be brought into the 21st century gaming world for far too long. This is awesome. Great video!!
@Muney Jordan is a pro I've read that they plan to support Reforger for 12 months. This is like a playtest for the engine that will be used for Arma 4. I'd expect Arma 4 in 2023/2024.
@@justaguy906 improve on the insane graphics of arma reforger to me it looks insanely good way better than the other armas way higher quality and the content for arma reforger is coming in 3 separate big updates they still have some work to do fixing certain stuff but it very well could become a full game and the infusion engine with its capabilities will make the space of arma a hell of a lot better considering its current optimizations it supposedly runs better than arma3 from operator drew's words i feal they wont need 3 but who knows
Dude how on gods green earth lol I mean who else remembers going to the arcade with mates and playing some games and now look at it Jesus it looks so real That’s incredible
The way I see it, the arma devs made this game because it’s going to help fund and plan the development of the biggest game they’ve ever created. The asking price is a little steep for the content, but if you look at it like a Kickstarter for a much larger game with direct access to the engine they are developing on I think the value is going to be great once the modding community floods this game with new content.
Since it's likely any mod made for Refroger will work on Arma 4 (same engine), I'm wondering if we'll see a split community when Arma 4 comes out. Will Arma 4 bring enough benefits over Reforger (not today's reforger, but Reforger after a year of updates) to make Arma 4 worth the purchase?
Wild at 5:25 there’s a patch for the arma 3 unit I used to play operations with for a long time and had some of my best friends from. Crazy to see it on a RUclips video
hopefully arma 4 won't be another s fantasy game like arma 3 and will have more basis in reality. they should have a chechnya campaign or a modern syria or even iraq campaign just to change things up
I remember playing Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis on Xbox and loved it. Lots of different vehicles, weapons, realism, etc. I hope they build with that for this game for console players.
Great GREAT review OperatorDrewski! I can say out loud that you know how to do a review effectively! I cannot wait for Arma 4 to be released. I am more of a single player guy, so I will wait for Arma 4. However, seeing Reforger gives me tons of hope. Good work!
Incredible. I was already planning on getting Arma 4 of course. But I might just get ahead early with Reforger. Good stuff BI! And what a good video of it, Drewski. Glad i clicked this video even though I was short on time.
Dude, I'm so excited for this and for Arma 4, as a long term Arma player this just blows my mind and gives me a ton of hope for what could be on the horizion.
Definitely seems on the surface to be a weird in-between of classic ArmA and more focused titles like Tarkov or Squad, but I'm absolutely stoked to see the context interactions and built-in comms possibilities. For a sorta "spinoff" half-game, I think that what this game delivers is about what I would expect. If this was marketed as the next big ArmA I would be a bit hestitant, but for what it's trying to accomplish it seems like a solid package and I can't wait to get lost in it over the next while. Looking forward to any operations you might be doing in reforger, would love to see some extended PVE gameplay footage.
I agree and this is pretty much what I expected with reforger. I’m sure as time goes on they will add a good amount of new assets and features to this game and it will end up being a solid game that competes with squad and sandstorm. My only worry though is that arma 4 ends up being like this and dayz and that we see a total departure from the milsim sandbox games that previous titles have delivered on. I also hope that arma 4 is pc only.
If they wanted Reforger to be the next big title in the series im pretty sure we would've seen a much bigger PR/advertising campaign before it released. the most I knew about this project were some so/so leaks and a few screenshots from bohemia. I had absolutely zero idea that this would drop today.
I'm a huge Arma fan and i think Reforger is the first step in the right direction. I'm sure that it can be formed into a pretty cool piece in the Arma collection and that there's a looooot potential to it.
So crazy to see Dslyecxi playing with you in that one clip. I’ve watched his videos for years. I heard his voice and immediately knew. I found your channel in suggested videos from watching him.
8:13 Holy shit I thought it's real-life footage cause the street is based on czech towns layout and I live in the Czech republic! ...Damn, that's impressive!
This actually looks really good. I was watching a live stream from another content creator and people were so negative. As a non Arma player I genuinely thought the game was bad, but it isn't, and I see people here in the comments who play Arma and they're positive about it
Maybe they were expecting an actual Arma 4 with complete resources like helis, tanks, more infantry/special forces/ other units. But they should listen to what the dev in Bohemia said, "It's not Arma 4, not yet. It's reforger."
@@mig-25foxbat64 Wrong. They expected more of a realistic sim like experience. Ngl the gameplay and movement looks more like pubg Mobile. Nothing wrong with that since it can be more appealing to a more casual player base but it isn't what Arma is supposed to look like.
It's cool to see the new tech, do kinda wish we got more than a tech demo, but knowing it's essentially a preview for arma 4 makes me a little more excited to see what we get.
Its a preview/Work training/ Modding community headstart for Arma 4, by the time it comes around the Nodding community which makes Arma what it is will be more than ready to get going
I love the way this looks but from what i saw, at least right now, there is a death animation instead of a Rag-doll, while this is a really small detail that i can certainly play through, i really loved the ways Arma 3 had rag-doll physics for enemies or players that were hit, now that being said, Arma 3s rag-doll certain had issues like the "Flinch" that AI or players would do whenever hit, but compiled with community mods, it was almost flawless except the few instances of legs being bent completely behind or inside the model. I really hope that they make this comeback, and if not then i suppose we can always depend on the amazing mod community for Arma.
I'm guessing they'll add most if not all the features in Arma 3 back for 4. The Ragdolls when you shot someone standing still and they just folded in half were kinda jank but any other situation I agree they were neat
@@CJmontage101If you noticed, i actually agree that vanilla A3 ragdolls were awful, i clearly state that modded ragdoll physics that built off the base game and got rid of most of the jank are what made them so good in the end. I think they should add it to Reforger too in an original way.
I haven't played any games like this since Operation Flashpoint and Battlefield 2. I miss it, but at my age and watching your vids, my eyes are just nowhere near good enough. Its awesome to see people playing these realistic shooters though and yours are the best!
Could be cool in a couple of months but for the time this was (probably) in develop this was an instant refund for me. $30 or in my case € (-.-) is just not justified for a game they published to test their engine and sell me the full game in 1-3 years imho.
@@patcho7518 I'm running a 1660 ti and I'm using what the game defaulted me to, which is everything on High and Ultra except for 3 or 4 settings on Medium, and I'm running at a constant 60 FPS and above.
@@ThMindFdr Since most of the people I've talked to recently only wanted to know my GPU, it slipped my mind. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and 16 GB of RAM. They're two 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz.
Knew it was only a matter of time before this vid popped up in my feed, I'm hyped but kinda skeptical myself, but that's normal if it's supposedly a testbed.
I woukd get it but 30 bucks is a little too much for basically a glorified engine demo, I'll probably buy arma 4 though and I must say that this looks great. I feel like we're in the same boat.
This is not a new Arma game, as been said and painfully pinpointed out several times, by all sides... This is an engine demo basically, from the same company.
I'm very excited to see them try from the ground up and build something new! I'm hoping they allow steam workshop still and don't switch it like insurgency sandstorm did. If BI just gives us the tools and makes a great engine and maps, the player base will take care of them for a very long long time
On top of it all the devtools are much nicer. The script editor included is surprisingly good and is something I’d imagine is going to speed up a lot of workflows
I loved operation flashpoint dragon rising, it had quite good graphics, AI, lighting, great interface for commanding, but lacked mod support, dev support, more deeper mission builder, this is going to be my dream operation flashpoint witch i was hoping to see as final product + more.
OFP DR was pretty good. AI was cheap at sometimes, but they did have pretty good user made scenarios. Did you ever play one of the zombie mods or surviving endless waves of enemies? OFP DR is not as good as OFP CWC, but it was darn good
Right now considering the price tag, it is still a good Squad opponent. If you take into account the better mod support, the better vehicle physics (my POV) and graphics. With a little bit of content, it could be a better Squad.
As a person who has played his military simulation as Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis , this brought my eyes some tears haha . I just realized how i missed fighting in Everon and Malden haha . Thank you BI for this amazing work . And thank you for this video Best regards .
I’m really curious how this new engine will work with mods. It would be really cool to see some SW Mods in this new engine with its high quality gameplay and graphics
10:12 - He said framerate is stable and show micro stuttering in the same moment. 10:16 - He said there are no LOD rendering bugs during a LOD rendering bug in the game scene at the same moment aswell before and after. His credibility is not particularly high...but then, it never was.
I love this game. The first time I hopped into a jeep it felt amazing. Although we did crash when the driver left and that caused us to float across the entire map. I made a RUclips shirt about it if you guys need proof of the flying jeep
it was so nostalgic to play this game... my first 1:30h worth of bootcamp felt surreal. Just like when I was 12 entering the arma 2/arma2 OA world. A feeling which I havent felt for a long while - since arma 3 launch at least.
I hope sniping and MG gunning becomes a team effort, where the loader/spotter observes and directs the fire. I also hope wind affects bullets, so reading the wind speed and direction are needed for long distance first shot hits. I also hope player collisions with walls and foliage affects the players stance, speed and (contact+small pain)sound. I hope things have repairable state of destruction, like blown of tires, broken tracks that can be repaired. I hope for the player dismemberment when hit with large calibers or explosives. I hope for a medical system that does not have a menu. Something like a growing blood stain you can hover your mouse over and click on to bandage to stop the bleeding. I hope hit players and soldiers fall over with a scream, adding more drama. in all I think BI has done a great job and are on the right track!
Learn from the experience with game Squad and others as such. Players are just NOT getting what they pay for, and should not be happy with what they are getting. Players are getting unfinished games that on Day 1 already feel 4-6 years old (outdated), with ever present promises of (slow and little) improvements over the coming years. Which will still make the game feel and look obsolete. You are being thought to be satisfied with partial games. 5 edits of the same vehicle with minor changes and you are supposed to say "Wow"? Precisely the same scenario as with the game Squad.
@@Unknown_Genius We often forget that when Arma 3 came out, it was REALLY good for the time. The had advanced lighting, great graphics and amazing gameplay. But the problem is people are comparing a 9 year old game to modern games and saying "Arma is bad". It's not bad, it was a industry leader at the time (if you included the scale of it). No other game at the time could match Arma 3. Today, however, there's much better looking games. Reforge is just the start taste of Arma 4 which will likely lead the industry again.
@@Unknown_Genius The millions of views and thousands of positive comments on videos showing off Arma 3 for the first time beg to differ. People were very excited for the game and very impressed with the graphics. You can go look for yourself at the comments and replies on those videos and various articles from 9 years ago when Arma 3 came out. In fact you are kind of proving my point in a way, you are kind of looking at it from today's standards, not comparing to 9 years ago standards.
@@Unknown_Genius You seem to be arguing against a point I didn't bring up. I was also there when Arma 3 launched. And I was there when Arma 2 launched. And I was there when Operation Flashpoint launched. Every Arma game is well known to be bare bones at release and later on becomes more full of content when mods arrive (I suppose Operation Flashpoint was the exception, since it wasn't a game made for mods). I never said otherwise, but this seems to be the point you are arguing for some reason. Basically, people didn't switch back to Arma 2 because of graphics, they switched because of content/mods. And when the mods on Arma 3 started appearing more and more people stuck with Arma 3. But that wasn't the only reason, the game industry was also still revealing on the DayZ mod (which was a massive hit) which came out about a year before Arma 3 launched (and spawned tons of other amazing mods on Arma 2 right before Arma 3 launched), further keeping people on Arma 2 instead of Arma 3. But the graphics were not the reason people switched back to Arma 2. The graphics in Arma 3 were far superior to Arma 2 and again, if you look at the thousands of comments, reviews, replies, etc on videos, articles, steam, for when Arma 3 launched you can clearly see that sentiment repeated there. Steam itself is showing "overwhelming positive" review score on Arma 3 in the months following it's launch. Look at the reviews themselves and they praise tons of features/graphics/physics improvement with Arma 3 vs Arma 2.
Really exciting watching ytbers making 1hour/2hours roleplaying and exploring new maps in a horror ways! The night mode is super really good and really scary!
Shame on you Bohemia! Shame on you people that support and even promote paid beta tests while small studios sell their complete games twice cheaper and get insanely reach. Like seriously. Stop being surprised by proper lighting in games in 2022. Stop being excited with the realistic looking map that can be done in Unreal for free with free photogrammetry assets in few days. Just stop it! Stop consuming cheap(well, not so) sh!t. The studio that has it all, experience, tons of code to build every game you can imagine is trying to sell you raw and bugy bunch of assets brought together in like few months and you are like OMG. If they can sell you this for 30bucks, I'm already imaging what ARMA4 price will be. Even BF and Call Of Duty players got some brains to realize that companies are BSing them. Stop supporting this! Please! They never made ARMA 3 work properly but now they are trying to sell you beta instead of giving it away for free and have a positive promotion campaign to get more people on board.
As i thought, the vanilla gameplay is straight up dayz masked in arma… terrible movement, terrible animations (both are too arcadey) performance is still lacking, inventory hud looks bad: dayzs inventory doesnt fit arma a single bit. Everything else looks good, vehicles, guns (even tho the sound is lacking) graphics, builtin radio, modtools, zeus etc… gotta wait for modders to fix those things listed above before i buy it
Sadly modding Reforger isn't as simple and fast as what modding A3 was. This time we're not going to see the same scripting & mission making scene we're used to see. :/
@@spunFIN it took a lot of time for Arma 3 to become a great game, i dont really mind waiting for A4 to come out, and as Reforger is just a way for modders to get their hands on the engine, i dont see a reason for me to buy it, unless as i said, they fix those things i dont like

What's cool as that as soon as the game was put on Steam the modders were working on making mods
I hope we'll get modern 4th generation warfare reflecting the world today instead for ArmA 4.
I've seen enough ERDL camo, M16's and plain AK-74's, I wanna see guerrillas wearing multicam using a crazy variety of weaponry from their arms suppliers fighting an equally varied state. Syrian Arab Army with support from the Ruskies and loyalists fighting Daesh and other militia. Ukrainian pro-Russian militia, the Russian army, wagner PMC, chechens fighting the extremely varied Ukrainian military and their foreign mercenaries.
ArmA 3 kinda tried this with the east wind campaign but the factions were boring as were their equipment and the missions were extremely linear. I feel no other game has even attempted to reflect the current state of warfare properly.
 hopefully your wishes would be granted. If not modders can convert the whole game into that.
It’s gonna be a huge pile of fucking dog shit if I keep catering to the console community

The milsim genre was kinda dead it was all first person shooters or old outdated game id argue without dayz we wouldn't of had what we got with arma 3.

RO2 still did it the best
Wow, such a flashback to the original Operation Flashpoint which was the best. I hope it has a great single player campaign as the original one.
It doesnt have one and probably never will, at least officially. On the other hand, BIS will probably give the tools and support for a bunch of talented modders to remake the original Cold War Crisis campaign, just like they did for Arma 1, 2 and 3.
That Resistance Camo...hell yeah.

Looking forward to Arma 4. I'm one of those niche groups who just enjoy playing aroubd in Eden editior, making up scenarios and just watching the ai fight each other, but the performance suffers so much when you add too much stuff and the ai even stops functioning properly. Hopefully this new engine can handle large loads and Ai better like you said.
same
AI is a tough nut to tackle sadly
same here, 95% of my hours spent alone in eden editor. Never played online, other 5% is the campaigns and downloaded scenarios
Same for me, it looks like we are more than a niche squad....
Same haha
Holy cow, I love the setting on this preview. They even added ragtop helmets *PANAMA INTENSIFIES*
just the fact that you can engage targets with the M2 without your fps dipping into the negatives is enough for me to buy into this new tech
haha I love how tight of a community this game has
amen, probably the most frustrating thing about Arma 3 were the FPS drops in any engagement with more than two weapons firing at once
This... is why I quit playing.
computer reaches in and takes away fos
I hope miniguns have a realistic firerate instead of 5 ammo taken for 1 bullet shot. It's a minigun, not an LMG.
It will be interesting to see how new players react to the franchise.
i think most of them dont understand what this game is at the moment. For me its just a test demo for the new engine.

Substances are actually still in the game. If you hold control and use your scroll wheel, instead of adjusting your walking speed, you incrementally change your stance.
Thank god they didn't remove that. One of my favourite aspects of Arma, and greatly underused by other players much to my annoyance, but hey, not everyone wants to live longer or shoot better.

Amazing breakdown video. This game makes me extremely happy for the future of Arma especially with prioritizing stability and performance. I can only imagine what fully modded servers are going to look like a year form now.
What they like I'm on console and it's just been released
I'm just totally pumped for the new physics overhaul. for years we've put up with "Arma moments" and gone out of our way to change tactics and gameplay preference in order to maintain immersion and reduce their frequency.
Ngl, spontaneous combustion was pretty funny sometimes
* tank hits fence * . . . * blows up*
That alone is probably the single biggest improvement, followed closely by performance. The fact that the textures, shading, and lighting are so improved *and it still runs better than 3* is... well I guess not that surprising. We all knew that.
@@Acepilot235 Tank hits enemy infantry, flies 10 miles.
I haven't seen any vehicles fly into the sky because they hit a peble in reforger yet
I have seen a few trucks fly high in the sky like stealth bombers, and cars flipping a little too easy
Overall the physics are quite nice, even doors function properly now it's insane!
The aerial movement really shows how well optimized things are so far. Personally never played any ARMA games but I can tell the developers have come a long way and learned from the past.
I have been playing arma for years and i hyperventilate when i saw this game today
@@dario9793 Me too!
All the ANIMATIONS and SHOOTING are so much smoother now. The lights, effects, PIP scopes, view distance, visuals, vehicle interiors with added animations... so gooood. Just imagine what Arma 4 would look like.
Operation flash point music. Great touch.
ArmA 3 was also released in Early Access with minimal amount of content initially and look at it now, Reforger seems to follow its steps.
So dont worry guys, we will get much more eventually
It will get better!
For free though? 30 is a little pricey...I'm skeptical about pulling the trigger.
That is true. Also DayZ ist a great game today. As Drew points out, it took some time to get to this state. But think about what developing status DayZ was in, when it launched vs Arma Reforger. I think Reforger is way ahead at this point and may develop faster than DayZ did.
@@LOL2YOU if you're not interested in checking out the engine, don't bother buying it. Keep in mind they also included a built-in mod creator, so within a small amount of time people are gonna start creating mods for this
@@jamega4000 I ended up pulling the trigger. Huge modern and I'm getting better with unreal engine so I think I'm going to try to make some mods once I get used to the engine more.
I absolutely love the implementation of walk speed controlled by mouse wheel like Tarkov, Star Citizen also does this and it's an all around perfect way to control your movement while also adding an RP element to it.
@@Unknown_Genius kinda irrelevant if its new or not but yeah
@@Unknown_Genius never ever seen that but I'll take your word for it
I love how this is Cold War setting - return to roots of Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crysis. So much more atmospheric than yet another generic desert, modern, war on terror vibes. This looks awesome!
Arma has never taken place in a war on terror setting, Arma 3 for example was on a fictional island with a fictional nation and NATO interference
can you run crysis? lol
@@generikusername Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead?
@@generikusername I wasn't referring to the Arma serie, but to the FPS genre overall.
But futuristic Arma3 wasn't atmospheric as well, general emphasis on realism and fictional made up equipment wasn't a good synergy.
the theme of wester war in desert is so overused, why is there no game with the war in the arctic with insane sniper rifles, subs, thermal goggles, oil rigs, oil pipes, survival elements, snow mobiles with mounted MGs, cool snow building mechanics, concealment, satellite image recon, electronic warfare, etc.
I beat the original Operation Flashpoing like 10 to 20 times. That game was a masterpiece! So excited about this new one!
@@AriesLR_ it had an editor. I did tank battles with it.
@Hahaha BenisXDD Yup, I was one of them man, so fucking good man. Red River was great too imo
Flashpoint amazed me when I was younger and multiplayer was so fun. My first “Arma” in a sense of scale and modern combat
Agreed. One of the best games of all times.
I loved the Resistance expansion , me and my friend quote it all the time " Viktor of course its a trap!"
It looks and plays so nice.
I love all those animations. Instead of popping in into vehicle and telepatic vehicle operation in other games, here we can see animations for entering/exiting vehicles and animation for ignition, gear change ETC.
For me this adds a TON to immersion! I own ARMA 3, played it for some hours but I was not impressed to stay and play lots of hours there. I see here more immersion. If ARMA 4 will have such immersion and realism then I am sold xD
For me, I'll be getting it more for nostalgia. I loved the old Operation Flashpoint, as buggy and limited as it was. However, really when compared to what was out at the time there was no completion.
I for one am really looking forward to seeing what they do with reforger.
Drew, I just wanna leave this out here… Big props to this well edited video in such short time man. You seriously distinguish yourself again unlike the others youtubers, well done bro and keep it up 👊🏽
He's had early access to the game for a while it's not like he made the video in a couple hours
@@cocochris0250 yh I figured that out later on haha… but still ^^
This is everything I dreamed of playing ArmA III when I first opened it a few years ago, this is absolutely amazing. Really excited.
The animations look so good. I cant believe this is an ARMA title. Now I'm just worried if my PC will handle it. Its sounds like they've streamlined so many systems I'm so excited. This must have taken so much work.
If consoles can handle it I’m sure your pc will brother 🙏🏻
It runs on the Series S and will therefore, almost definitely run on your PC as long as it's somewhat modern.
@@Lofi.z34 I play ARMA3 my brother.
If your pc runs arma 3 I would guess it runs this too XD that shit is heavy.
@@Lofi.z34 don't forget that this is a test bed and that they'll be working on things. It's by no means done, small errors in animations shouldn't really be harped on at this time.
Looking at how DICE screw up speedrunning a new engine and a new game at the same time, it feels pretty good knowing Bohemia at least got their new engine working fine and stable, so they can now focus on the gameplay details of the upcoming ARMA 4.
I think that this is much bigger think for us console players than long time fans of arma. We haven't have anything like this on consoles before and we HAVE TO show, that there are onsole players who want to play mill sims
having seen the modding tools just now, as far as I can see nothing is stopping people from making new terrains, game modes, weapons and vehicles. So hopefully this game will last a long time.
Its only Arma 3.5 :(
They should give a discount to Arma 4 later then, because it will be abandoned after the Arma 4 release (mostly)
@@ShadowGhostHD They def won't give a discount to Arma 4 as it will probably have heaps load more content than this, but Reforged will probably go dirt cheap
@@henrylevoyer9962 30€ is not cheap 🙃
@@henrylevoyer9962 I dont understand the purpose behindnit IF you are not a modder.
@@ShadowGhostHD I think the whole idea of Reforged was them to see what the modders can do and at the same time test how the mods work. So they could maybe even use them in arma 4 i think? So i guess that is a fair point. At least for now that there is not so much mods. They just gave a new platform for modders which I wont complain :D just waiting for the 4th.
This looks so good, I can’t wait to see what modders get up to as well as bohemia
Performance is so good, the driving mechanics are amazing!
I hope one day we will have a game as large as ARMA , as detailed and functional as DCS.
I would LOVE naval warfare to be included.
Can you imagine your friends on a sub launching a Special forces team to take out SAM sites for the fighters 80 miles away on a carrier?
Yes!! I had no idea Bohemia was working on part four. This just made my year. It looks fantastic! Arma has needed to be brought into the 21st century gaming world for far too long. This is awesome. Great video!!
This is acctually insane ive been waiting for Arma4/Reforger for 8 years this looks amazing
@Muney Jordan is a pro do you even know what it means to create a fucking game engine from the ground up?
@Muney Jordan is a pro I've read that they plan to support Reforger for 12 months. This is like a playtest for the engine that will be used for Arma 4. I'd expect Arma 4 in 2023/2024.

Dude how on gods green earth lol
I mean who else remembers going to the arcade with mates and playing some games and now look at it
Jesus it looks so real
That’s incredible
The way I see it, the arma devs made this game because it’s going to help fund and plan the development of the biggest game they’ve ever created.
The asking price is a little steep for the content, but if you look at it like a Kickstarter for a much larger game with direct access to the engine they are developing on I think the value is going to be great once the modding community floods this game with new content.
im sure theyll add more as time goes on. i gaurentee this is their test bed for arma 4
honestly better than releasing a beta 3 months until launch then releasing a shit game. This is so much better
@@thegrossmansmx It is a test bed
Since it's likely any mod made for Refroger will work on Arma 4 (same engine), I'm wondering if we'll see a split community when Arma 4 comes out. Will Arma 4 bring enough benefits over Reforger (not today's reforger, but Reforger after a year of updates) to make Arma 4 worth the purchase?
Wild at 5:25 there’s a patch for the arma 3 unit I used to play operations with for a long time and had some of my best friends from. Crazy to see it on a RUclips video
Where is the best place to send BI feedback and suggestions on Reforger?
Just WOW! I never played Arma or was interested in it but damn, graphically, this looks absolutely insane and photo realistic.
It literally looks like an average game from 2017. Battlefield 1 looks better and its 6 years old.
Graphics isnt the selling point here
I want to apologise to BI for shitting on DAYZ because that was clearly used to fund, develop and test this god-tier engine.
I'm so stoked to see what arma 4 has to offer. The amount of time I'm about to spend in the new arma when ever it comes out is going to be silly lol
hopefully arma 4 won't be another s fantasy game like arma 3 and will have more basis in reality. they should have a chechnya campaign or a modern syria or even iraq campaign just to change things up
@@cagneybillingsley2165 All possible through mods in time :D

that explosion joke is very good
I remember playing Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis on Xbox and loved it. Lots of different vehicles, weapons, realism, etc. I hope they build with that for this game for console players.
Great GREAT review OperatorDrewski! I can say out loud that you know how to do a review effectively! I cannot wait for Arma 4 to be released. I am more of a single player guy, so I will wait for Arma 4. However, seeing Reforger gives me tons of hope. Good work!
I might buy my first ARMA game with this one.
Or maybe you can wait till arma 4 is released this game is a test bed for arma 4
idk how anyone can complain about 30$ tbh 2022 for a game to be 30$ is very reasonable when lunch cost like 15$
Incredible. I was already planning on getting Arma 4 of course. But I might just get ahead early with Reforger. Good stuff BI!
And what a good video of it, Drewski. Glad i clicked this video even though I was short on time.
Dude, I'm so excited for this and for Arma 4, as a long term Arma player this just blows my mind and gives me a ton of hope for what could be on the horizion.
Definitely seems on the surface to be a weird in-between of classic ArmA and more focused titles like Tarkov or Squad, but I'm absolutely stoked to see the context interactions and built-in comms possibilities.
For a sorta "spinoff" half-game, I think that what this game delivers is about what I would expect. If this was marketed as the next big ArmA I would be a bit hestitant, but for what it's trying to accomplish it seems like a solid package and I can't wait to get lost in it over the next while.
Looking forward to any operations you might be doing in reforger, would love to see some extended PVE gameplay footage.
I agree and this is pretty much what I expected with reforger. I’m sure as time goes on they will add a good amount of new assets and features to this game and it will end up being a solid game that competes with squad and sandstorm. My only worry though is that arma 4 ends up being like this and dayz and that we see a total departure from the milsim sandbox games that previous titles have delivered on. I also hope that arma 4 is pc only.
If they wanted Reforger to be the next big title in the series im pretty sure we would've seen a much bigger PR/advertising campaign before it released. the most I knew about this project were some so/so leaks and a few screenshots from bohemia. I had absolutely zero idea that this would drop today.
I'm a huge Arma fan and i think Reforger is the first step in the right direction. I'm sure that it can be formed into a pretty cool piece in the Arma collection and that there's a looooot potential to it.
So crazy to see Dslyecxi playing with you in that one clip. I’ve watched his videos for years. I heard his voice and immediately knew. I found your channel in suggested videos from watching him.
cant wait to play it!!

OK, I need to admit - I watched the weapons part more than once... Masterpiece xD.
8:13 Holy shit I thought it's real-life footage cause the street is based on czech towns layout and I live in the Czech republic!

This actually looks really good. I was watching a live stream from another content creator and people were so negative. As a non Arma player I genuinely thought the game was bad, but it isn't, and I see people here in the comments who play Arma and they're positive about it
Maybe they were expecting an actual Arma 4 with complete resources like helis, tanks, more infantry/special forces/ other units. But they should listen to what the dev in Bohemia said, "It's not Arma 4, not yet. It's reforger."
@@mig-25foxbat64 yes it's a demo to test there new engine, pretty sure Arma 4 will be big
@@mig-25foxbat64 Wrong. They expected more of a realistic sim like experience. Ngl the gameplay and movement looks more like pubg Mobile. Nothing wrong with that since it can be more appealing to a more casual player base but it isn't what Arma is supposed to look like.
"Did you think i was doing it again" got me really xd
It's cool to see the new tech, do kinda wish we got more than a tech demo, but knowing it's essentially a preview for arma 4 makes me a little more excited to see what we get.
Its a preview/Work training/ Modding community headstart for Arma 4, by the time it comes around the Nodding community which makes Arma what it is will be more than ready to get going
I've never been so happy to see flashlights and vehicle interiors. This is surely a first in gaming.
call me when arma lets me shoot out of vehicles windows realistically.
I love the way this looks but from what i saw, at least right now, there is a death animation instead of a Rag-doll, while this is a really small detail that i can certainly play through, i really loved the ways Arma 3 had rag-doll physics for enemies or players that were hit, now that being said, Arma 3s rag-doll certain had issues like the "Flinch" that AI or players would do whenever hit, but compiled with community mods, it was almost flawless except the few instances of legs being bent completely behind or inside the model. I really hope that they make this comeback, and if not then i suppose we can always depend on the amazing mod community for Arma.
I'm guessing they'll add most if not all the features in Arma 3 back for 4. The Ragdolls when you shot someone standing still and they just folded in half were kinda jank but any other situation I agree they were neat
the ragdolls were terrible in ArmA 3. it's a mix between ragdolls and animations now.
I'd take Arma 2 animations over the fucked Arma 3 ragdoll anyday. Was not satisfying at all to kill someone in Arma 3
@@CJmontage101If you noticed, i actually agree that vanilla A3 ragdolls were awful, i clearly state that modded ragdoll physics that built off the base game and got rid of most of the jank are what made them so good in the end. I think they should add it to Reforger too in an original way.
Looking forward to see this engine being modded. Well done to the BIS devs.
Im so hyped as a console player after the years of just watching arma vids through your channel finally being able to play an arma title
I haven't played any games like this since Operation Flashpoint and Battlefield 2. I miss it, but at my age and watching your vids, my eyes are just nowhere near good enough. Its awesome to see people playing these realistic shooters though and yours are the best!
Could be cool in a couple of months but for the time this was (probably) in develop this was an instant refund for me. $30 or in my case € (-.-) is just not justified for a game they published to test their engine and sell me the full game in 1-3 years imho.
yea but those real huge Arma fans like me would buy it to test out the new features for the new upcoming Arma 4

Knew it was only a matter of time before this vid popped up in my feed, I'm hyped but kinda skeptical myself, but that's normal if it's supposedly a testbed.

The new arma looks so good! didnt really get into the past arma games but I would love to try this new one!
This is not a new Arma game, as been said and painfully pinpointed out several times, by all sides...
This is an engine demo basically, from the same company.
I'm very excited to see them try from the ground up and build something new! I'm hoping they allow steam workshop still and don't switch it like insurgency sandstorm did. If BI just gives us the tools and makes a great engine and maps, the player base will take care of them for a very long long time
So lovely to come back to Everon 20 years later!
On top of it all the devtools are much nicer. The script editor included is surprisingly good and is something I’d imagine is going to speed up a lot of workflows
I loved operation flashpoint dragon rising, it had quite good graphics, AI, lighting, great interface for commanding, but lacked mod support, dev support, more deeper mission builder, this is going to be my dream operation flashpoint witch i was hoping to see as final product + more.
OFP DR was pretty good. AI was cheap at sometimes, but they did have pretty good user made scenarios. Did you ever play one of the zombie mods or surviving endless waves of enemies? OFP DR is not as good as OFP CWC, but it was darn good
This engine looks extremely impressive. A HUGE upgrade in graphics compared to Arma 3.
Yes but bad graphics for 2022 games
Right now considering the price tag, it is still a good Squad opponent. If you take into account the better mod support, the better vehicle physics (my POV) and graphics. With a little bit of content, it could be a better Squad.
As a person who has played his military simulation as Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis , this brought my eyes some tears haha . I just realized how i missed fighting in Everon and Malden haha .
Thank you BI for this amazing work . And thank you for this video
Best regards .
The vehicle entry and exit animation is so satisfying
I’m really curious how this new engine will work with mods. It would be really cool to see some SW Mods in this new engine with its high quality gameplay and graphics
It’s the engine DayZ switched into that made the game take so long back in like 2017, and it’s super moddable. Workshop support eyc

10:16 - He said there are no LOD rendering bugs during a LOD rendering bug in the game scene at the same moment aswell before and after.

this game gameplay is a dream, feels like a squad and hell let loose hybrid, smooth, responsive and soo f good
Very excited to see that Arma has put my countries biggest island (Krk) into their game.
Hello from Croatia!
I love this game. The first time I hopped into a jeep it felt amazing. Although we did crash when the driver left and that caused us to float across the entire map. I made a RUclips shirt about it if you guys need proof of the flying jeep
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CONSOLE NEEDS! SO EXCITED!
So basically… arma 3.5
fact its out on console is quite nice, especially with xbox mod support
Mod support?
@@bongbing4431 yes it was confirmed xbox is getting mod support like on fo4 and skyrim
Man that music takes me back to simpler times. I think I played Operation Flashpoint single player on repeat like a hundred times
it was so nostalgic to play this game... my first 1:30h worth of bootcamp felt surreal. Just like when I was 12 entering the arma 2/arma2 OA world. A feeling which I havent felt for a long while - since arma 3 launch at least.
I hope sniping and MG gunning becomes a team effort, where the loader/spotter observes and directs the fire.
I also hope wind affects bullets, so reading the wind speed and direction are needed for long distance first shot hits.
I also hope player collisions with walls and foliage affects the players stance, speed and (contact+small pain)sound.
I hope things have repairable state of destruction, like blown of tires, broken tracks that can be repaired.
I hope for the player dismemberment when hit with large calibers or explosives.
I hope for a medical system that does not have a menu. Something like a growing blood stain you can hover your mouse over and click on to bandage to stop the bleeding.
I hope hit players and soldiers fall over with a scream, adding more drama.
in all I think BI has done a great job and are on the right track!
Learn from the experience with game Squad and others as such. Players are just NOT getting what they pay for, and should not be happy with what they are getting. Players are getting unfinished games that on Day 1 already feel 4-6 years old (outdated), with ever present promises of (slow and little) improvements over the coming years. Which will still make the game feel and look obsolete. You are being thought to be satisfied with partial games. 5 edits of the same vehicle with minor changes and you are supposed to say "Wow"? Precisely the same scenario as with the game Squad.
I will confess that in a game like Arma 3 the graphics are one of the less import things in my opinion.
@@Unknown_Genius We often forget that when Arma 3 came out, it was REALLY good for the time. The had advanced lighting, great graphics and amazing gameplay. But the problem is people are comparing a 9 year old game to modern games and saying "Arma is bad". It's not bad, it was a industry leader at the time (if you included the scale of it). No other game at the time could match Arma 3. Today, however, there's much better looking games. Reforge is just the start taste of Arma 4 which will likely lead the industry again.
@@Unknown_Genius The millions of views and thousands of positive comments on videos showing off Arma 3 for the first time beg to differ. People were very excited for the game and very impressed with the graphics. You can go look for yourself at the comments and replies on those videos and various articles from 9 years ago when Arma 3 came out.
In fact you are kind of proving my point in a way, you are kind of looking at it from today's standards, not comparing to 9 years ago standards.
@@Unknown_Genius You seem to be arguing against a point I didn't bring up. I was also there when Arma 3 launched. And I was there when Arma 2 launched. And I was there when Operation Flashpoint launched. Every Arma game is well known to be bare bones at release and later on becomes more full of content when mods arrive (I suppose Operation Flashpoint was the exception, since it wasn't a game made for mods). I never said otherwise, but this seems to be the point you are arguing for some reason.
Basically, people didn't switch back to Arma 2 because of graphics, they switched because of content/mods. And when the mods on Arma 3 started appearing more and more people stuck with Arma 3. But that wasn't the only reason, the game industry was also still revealing on the DayZ mod (which was a massive hit) which came out about a year before Arma 3 launched (and spawned tons of other amazing mods on Arma 2 right before Arma 3 launched), further keeping people on Arma 2 instead of Arma 3.
But the graphics were not the reason people switched back to Arma 2. The graphics in Arma 3 were far superior to Arma 2 and again, if you look at the thousands of comments, reviews, replies, etc on videos, articles, steam, for when Arma 3 launched you can clearly see that sentiment repeated there. Steam itself is showing "overwhelming positive" review score on Arma 3 in the months following it's launch. Look at the reviews themselves and they praise tons of features/graphics/physics improvement with Arma 3 vs Arma 2.

Shame on you Bohemia! Shame on you people that support and even promote paid beta tests while small studios sell their complete games twice cheaper and get insanely reach. Like seriously. Stop being surprised by proper lighting in games in 2022. Stop being excited with the realistic looking map that can be done in Unreal for free with free photogrammetry assets in few days. Just stop it! Stop consuming cheap(well, not so) sh!t. The studio that has it all, experience, tons of code to build every game you can imagine is trying to sell you raw and bugy bunch of assets brought together in like few months and you are like OMG. If they can sell you this for 30bucks, I'm already imaging what ARMA4 price will be. Even BF and Call Of Duty players got some brains to realize that companies are BSing them. Stop supporting this! Please! They never made ARMA 3 work properly but now they are trying to sell you beta instead of giving it away for free and have a positive promotion campaign to get more people on board.
As i thought, the vanilla gameplay is straight up dayz masked in arma… terrible movement, terrible animations (both are too arcadey) performance is still lacking, inventory hud looks bad: dayzs inventory doesnt fit arma a single bit. Everything else looks good, vehicles, guns (even tho the sound is lacking) graphics, builtin radio, modtools, zeus etc… gotta wait for modders to fix those things listed above before i buy it
Shut up, don't play then
Dayz stand-alone was used to build the enfusion engine used in Reforger. Arma 4 will use improvements to engine from reforger
Sadly modding Reforger isn't as simple and fast as what modding A3 was. This time we're not going to see the same scripting & mission making scene we're used to see. :/
@@issahumps i know, dont get your point tho
@@spunFIN it took a lot of time for Arma 3 to become a great game, i dont really mind waiting for A4 to come out, and as Reforger is just a way for modders to get their hands on the engine, i dont see a reason for me to buy it, unless as i said, they fix those things i dont like
I'm genunly excited, I've been playing the arma serie since armed assault and this looks amazing !
11:37 OK there is _definitely_ some kind of fish eye effect going on here, that BTR suddenly turned into a 300m long spaghetti vehicle
