ARMA Reforger: First Impressions - Is it Boring?!

[@spencerclark7751]

Hey man, glad you picked up Arma! Here’s some quick tips that might or might not help with your success: 1. Your position will determine wether you kill or get killed. If you’re sitting somewhere the enemy know there’s been gunfire from or attacking an objective from the same direction as a bunch of teammates that are already engaging the enemy, you’ll be much more likely to get spotted and shot because the enemy already knows where to look. Finding a position where the enemy hasn’t been attacked from yet is how you can really rack up some kills. 2. BRING MORE THAN 2 BANDAGES. Each part of your body that gets hit with the bleeding effect will need a bandage or tourniquet; bandages are for light bleeding and tourniquets are for heavy bleeding. The med kit can restore injuries, so it can also be nice to bring in but isn’t necessary. You also need saline bags to restore blood loss. It’s nice to have extra med supplies to heal teammates but I find that usually if you get shot a lot you’ll need more than 2 bandages for yourself anyways. I usually bring in at least 5 bandages, 2-3 saline bags, and 5 morphine for pain relief. 3. Try to focus on one role. Whether that be a support role with a machine gun or sniper rifle or an assault role with a rifle, rocket launcher, and grenades, just stick to one play style till you’re comfortable with the controls and mechanics of the game. I’d say that the controls are probably the most difficult aspect and they’ll require some time, but once you get more comfortable with the controls you’ll find that the game gives the player a lot of freedom. For example there are actually more stances than the standard stand-crouch-crawl. If you’re behind a fence and standing leaves you too exposed but you can’t shoot over the fence when you’re crouched, you can adjust your stance so that you’re some height between standing and crouching. Most of the time this can leave you just tall enough to stick your gun over the fence, but not any taller so as to minimize the amount of your body that you’re exposing to the enemy. There’s actually a similar mechanic with leaning as well, where you can lean a very small amount or the full amount! All of this is just to say that as you get more comfortable with the controls you’ll find probably find yourself unlocking really useful features that can help you tremendously, so just be patient and make the game as easy on yourself as it need it to be. 4. Sometimes platoon chat can get annoying with people arguing and constantly talking over it. If it does, just open your radio and change the platoon chat channel. You can always change it back when you need to use it. Just remember that you might occasionally miss some information that could save you. 5. Team killing happens all the time! No matter how long you play this game it’s inevitable that you’re gonna accidentally team kill someone or get team killed. If it’s a simple accident then try not to worry to much about it.

Welcome to the Arma gaming community!! nice to see the video and your first feets on the ground. Also good to see that people are communicating and helping each other. I have a Pro tip for you, for you question about teamplay with friends or randoms that become friends :) You allready picked up the RADIO BACKPACK, use it anywhere on the map and drop it on the ground. Than you can deploy it and your whole team can SPAWN or TELEPORT to it!! so you can be more efficiency! i dont know the PS key for bringing up the GROUP MENU, there you can create your group and join others. Plz, use the backpack so everybody knows how to be quicker on the capture point. When i see you on a DX1 community server, i can explain you a lot mechanics :) cya later soldier! have fun and make new friends!

[@nicolaizafra9705]

I had the same experience and impression when I first played the multiplayer games, the game can be really boring or frustrating at first when you are clueless and had no one to play with, but things started to be more exciting after tagging along with a few team members. The game allows you to make your own "Call of Duty" like mission and objectives, writing your own stories, and fulfilling new duties to contribute much in your war effort. I've realized that the game is not about who has the fastest reflexes, but it heavily emphasizes more in teamwork/organization and playing it smart. Doing basic roles such as driving for your teammates, delivering supplies, conducting recon missions, and fortifying bases all do contribute in the long term progression.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Being able to create your own story in a match is such an amazing experience! ⭐️

[@iplaygames8090]

@@TheBlackSnake88 you should definetly check out the "gamemaster" and "Combat ops everon" gamemodes, you can find them in the scenario button on the main menu, they can be played both singleplayer or online. Gamemaster is a free form editor, probably the best sandbox currently on consoles although i find it a bit worse then arma 3 zeus. Combat ops is a coop gamemode where you play as the resistence and do predefined missions against soviet AI. In singleplayer the AI is a lot smarter using smoke and trying to help their wounded comrades.

The fact the map, which is still quite big, is much smaller than the last 3 games, makes it way less boring.

[@dakaodo]

Man, the culture shock is real. Your first video I watched was you getting into Squad. Both Squad and Reforger are much more accessible than Arma 3, but I'm amazed at how big the gap still apparently is to COD. I have never played COD or other arcade shooters, so I'm always bemused by arcade players' confusion. I get it though -- milsim games have a lot more commands, require a lot more things to be done manually, are more complex/clunky, and generally don't have a super streamlined new player intake/tutorial pipeline. So each game's community organically builds these subcultures around how people stumble into learning the game. Hats off to you for tackling these new-to-you games with higher learning curves. I don't know what has died about COD (that you alluded to here), but I hope the alternatives to COD are sufficiently engaging to capture some of the arcade shooter player diaspora. In principle, I prefer for games to challenge players with depth of gameplay, though in games with smaller budgets than COD (pretty much everything else?) that can come with more clunkiness and jank than a AAA player might tolerate. Hopefully there's more value for you in that additional complexity than there is turn-off in the clunkiness. :D

[@what2_call_it]

I recommend turning your graphics to performance so you get 60 fps you can also save your loadout by scrolling down on the armory

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Thx boss! Performance is definitely the way to go

[@ShizuOtakuVR]

So I'm an Xbox player who's been playing this since it's release in 2022, when it first came out it was bare bones tho it didn't stop me from usin the whole trial period (8 hours) for a single match before I bought it. I do recommend for newer players to go into scenarios and do training as it will help you learn the basics of the game which will help in conflict (I never did that when I started and boy was it insane tryna figure stuff out) also running supplies is fine cuz it is a SUPER important thing for ppl to do since a match basically depends on supplies but it can get boring if it's not something you truly enjoy. You don't necessarily need a group of friends, going solo for "special operations" like going behind enemy lines to disrupt supply routes, sniping enemy at bases, relaying enemy movements (like if they're bringing a BTR or a MI-8 is leaving their main/any base) is always helpful info, my friends don't play this game much anymore so I'm solo BUT those random people on your team? It's always a blast to meet someone new roll out with em, just to watch em die and either never see em again or meet up and do what you did before again it's an amazing feeling. Now both PC and Xbox do have mods so I personally don't play vanilla anymore and hopefully PlayStation will get them too so you get a wider experience, but with the upcoming update 1.3 vanilla will be getting: Mortars, LAV-25, BRDM-2, Rocket Pod Heli's, and destructible buildings. The ARMA Reforger community is a great community who will actually help unlike most communities with newer players (most of the time there's always a few ppl who don't care) just ask if you have any other questions Ik I'll be more than glad to answer em and there might be others who will too

[@jesserunyon]

The occasional fire fight? The game is constant fire fights for points. A sniper can't take an objective. The game would never end if all people did was snipe. You have to know how to read the map and listen to comms to be effective . This " walking simulator" literally spawns you jeeps and trucks at any point you build an automobile spawn, you also have transport helis, and not to mention the map is riddle with civilian vehicles. Sadly the youtubers you are watching are hardly playing the game.

[@mk180_gaming]

I see where some people guided you for that FPS replacement but my best suggestion for you is “INSURGENCY SANDSTORM”, since you said you came from COD & the maps are a bit smaller in a way. The gameplay is a blend between arcady/Tactical but more tactical & reason I said acrady due to the movement sometimes but the gun gameplay is extremely addictive & the game mode I recommend for a player like you is “Domination” you spawn in immediately after every death & every weapon is available to you w/customization. Hopefully you give it a shot & from my 5 year experience within that game, I see a lot of COD players transitioning to that game instead. Oh yea forgot to mention.. the TTK for insurgency is the best hands down, you’ll see what I mean when you play it or if you play it. Arma is a bit of a big big leap for someone at your caliber since you’re coming from COD & ARMA is very very in depth & not saying you don’t understand it which i’m sure you do but it’s too much for someone just getting into the “milsim” world of gaming, Insurgency or Hell Let Loose is a good start but I strongly recommend Insurgency.

[@jmax8095]

While i agree with what you said, it will only take time to learn things, about 2 weeks ago i started and have already learnt so much to the game just from playing and asking people, the issue i find with Insurgency and HLL is that a normal server its actually rare people use a mic, where as Arma pretty much everyone does and its a much more immersive game

PC version is amazing bro. So many mods. I have been trench fighting as a russian PKM machinegunner is Ukraine for months. The helis are amazing aswell. Being a pilot is super fun. Dropping people in hot lz's, so sick.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I might have to give it a try! Gotta learn how to fly first!

[@jamesmitchell7631]

When I heard you said you hope it replaces call of duty I knew you wasn’t going to like it Arma and games like them can’t be compared to COD or battlefield etc it’s a whole new element and experience

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Oh naw man, I like it! It doesn’t have to be a Copy of COD to be liked!

[@Dryphish]

I need a squad to link with.

[@dimassyifa]

U should try the modern mods tho its very cool (1minutes into the video)

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Am I able to use the Mods on PS5 version??

[@RiverSloth]

@@TheBlackSnake88 at the moment no

[@TheBlackSnake88]

@ 😭😭😵😭😭😵 so I gotta buy it twice 😭😭

[@dimassyifa]

@@TheBlackSnake88 apparently yes🥲 its much better and easier for the controls in pc anyways

[@RiverSloth]

​@@TheBlackSnake88 for now, yes, Bohemia Interactive (Arma Devs) are in talks with Sony to have mods but there is no grantee on that. You should be able to configure your PS5 controller although idk if you'll run into compatibility issues, if that was your reason to get it on PS5 over PC. I know it's hard to get away from using a controller, I'm strictly PC now but some games I prefer controller over keyboard.

[@JamesHolcomb-me1on]

wait till you get mod support dark gru is amazing FR

[@Onyx1776]

Mods on Pc are soo good haven’t even played vanilla yet cause of it lol

[@TheBlackSnake88]

FR, French??

[@charleshawk6668]

I was going to buy it. Decided not to, when I saw it was only 60hz. Looks like a cool game though

[@defrowe981]

U missing out bro

[@charleshawk6668]

@@defrowe981Not missing it at 60frames 😂

[@defrowe981]

@charleshawk6668 if that's what u think...don't knock the game if u haven't tried it boss

[@TheBlackSnake88]

It’s worth it honestly! The game flow is so enjoyable it’s worth it.

[@ltpunisher6666]

Remember these games are considered Infantry Simulators. Complete opposite of COD and its awesome!!

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I love the change of pace

[@MPSB12]

I was tired of COD I uninstall every COD I had. Back to Arma the real Military sim. This is not a game. I’ve been playing Arma from the beginning of its service. This is just a warmup so learn this platform before Arma 4 comes out. It’s going to be an all out war. It’ll be on time for the new consoles so don’t worry about the power. I’ll see you on the Battlefield. The real Battlefield.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

🫡

[@kevinrivera6649]

Is this game pvp or pve. Since playing operation flashpoint that game was only pve. So im not sure if this is the same

[@TheBlackSnake88]

It’s a mix! Idk If that’s every sever or just what people make!

[@mikespcgaming9423]

Its quite funny on your first mission its nighttime.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

OMG! It felt like a setup!

[@digitalben420]

Someone skipped basic training..

[@TheBlackSnake88]

😭😭😭🫡

[@jonathanmcniel6483]

I want to play, but i don't think my 3080 can handle it well.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Damn! I’m new to PCs, I wish I knew more

[@jonathanmcniel6483]

@@TheBlackSnake88 same, I'm still learning.

[@okamaman7324]

3080 will deliver you about 100 fps on reforger. Game is quite light

[@jonathanmcniel6483]

@okamaman7324 nice to know. Thanks my man!

[@loneshooter7286]

I swore to god you uploaded my day at night a week ago. I run and die then i ambush and die 😆. But one thing i do know, this game is not boring, its addictive. Now im down to only 2 games i play this and insurgency sandstorm for that quick fight.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

🤣🤣 I feel you!! Insurgency is a good game to!

[@jmax8095]

Yeah night time in this game sucks! I think on PC there is night vision mods but not yet on console

[@TheBlackSnake88]

😭😭😭 I need a night time strategy or game plan!

[@andrewthompson6453]

once he said replace COD it's obvious he wasn't gonna like it

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I did like it my guy! 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@PaulHarris-f2m]

I definitely enjoy the detail and depth, but so far the games Ive joined are full of headless chickens lost and confused lol

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I feel you there! I got lucky and found a few randoms that made it fun to move together

[@notyouagain7220]

How can we get this game more exposure so we get the modern combat mods out on PlayStation farming sim did it fallout 4 did it arma can def do it

[@TheBlackSnake88]

That part!!

[@Criminal-TC]

Its not boring ur just used of cod, best game on ps5 so far, ill teach you if you wsnt bro, its no a run n gun game. So much to do in it x

[@haus05]

guy never heard of nightvision?

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I heard that’s only with mods, is that true?

[@RichHobo610]

Ps5 doesn’t have mod support yet so it’s kinda not fun. That map is also crazy big too. My advice would be chill in Amin base or some other base and wait till a group grabs a car and hop in they’ll likely have a plan that’ll make for a fun 45 minutes

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Man!! If only we got mods!!

[@maximum69732]

Bro yuu gonna play today. I can help ya if need

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Currently out the country! Will be back soon!

[@anttiolavisalonen3662]

Maybe playing tutorial first. :)

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I Was so tired from all the tutorials I’ve played lately! I’ll do it soon tho!

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

Oh yeah buddy I'm a long time ARMA player on PC... ARMA is no joke if you don't know how to play it. Cause you would be screwed lol. Especially it's ultra realistic lol.

[@Breaks4Breaks]

I just got a PS5 Pro, I want to play this so badly, but I’m about to go abroad for a couple of months! 😂 COD is a mindless frenzy, this actually looks like an adventure.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Just wait till you get back!! Time will fly! Save that money for the trip! 🫡

[@jagacesuperjag]

We can teach you the finer points of the game and how to become an Arma legend ;)

[@panzaverde91livestream95]

It’s been out on xbox for like a year already it was pc Xbox and now ps5

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I definitely got that wrong!

[@bigChrisWithAtinyPeice]

The key is finding good guys! This isn't cod

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I definitely agree with that! I hate how COD has not camaraderie… I spelled that right?? 😂

[@sandwhicheater]

i bought and played and deleted it within an hour I think its cool and has a lot of features but it takes too much to get into it

[@chadwickpuffington]

Ya, the learning curve on Arma is steep. It's not for people who want a kill streak dopamine hit. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I feel you, I’d recommend just watching people play it more! I’ve been doing that since I played, be better prepared when I jump back in

[@allanallen1835]

takes a few days and even then you still learning little things, if i had done the training day one i would have got it down faster but now its just muscle memory and synapses firing together same time lol.dam good game with amazing gfx.

[@omar619kamis]

When is next video​@@TheBlackSnake88

[@blackwest4]

wrong system should've purchased on Steam

[@jagacesuperjag]

Arma Reforger is a simulator not a game. This is Arma beta/Operation Flashpoint Elite on the first xbox>>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrOc4qLZ62Yibc

[@bigChrisWithAtinyPeice]

The games great when u get into it. I git the free trial when it ran out I had to get it

[@TheBlackSnake88]

That how you know it’s good!

[@paradoxxthedeveloper]

Try Solider life server.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Is it a Mod Server?? I may have to buy it now for PC

[@paradoxxthedeveloper]

@@TheBlackSnake88 Na it isnt just join no mods untill PS5 is cool with mods we have respected that and wanna connect with PS5 Players. We do roleplay so we have a fun ranking system good for streaming and what not. Im in game now.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

@paradoxxthedeveloper thank you! I’ll look next time on on for this!

[@ronburgundy8174]

Is this game PvP or PvE? If it's mostly PvE then I wouldn't really be interested even though it does look like a pretty good game. Running around killing AI bots on a single player campaign is one thing, but on missions with friends would just be meh.

[@TheBlackSnake88]

There is a healthy mix! Depending on the server you’re in I assume.

[@BinALA]

its boring because the whole playerbase is too stupid to cooperate

[@TheBlackSnake88]

Naw, I think most of them don’t understand how to be successful yet. A ton of newbies like me

[@awannagannaful]

I guess some people are satisfied w McDonalds fat and sugary food while other need more of a fine dining degustation type of entertainment...

[@TheBlackSnake88]

I’m confused, what’s McDs n what’s Fine dining?
