[@MannyXVIII]

@@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.

[@21babydew]

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 The milsim genre was kinda dead it was all first person shooters or old outdated game id argue without dayz we wouldn't of had what we got with arma 3.

What's cool as that as soon as the game was put on Steam the modders were working on making mods

[@dennis4180]

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.

[@1cowboyr512]

 hopefully your wishes would be granted. If not modders can convert the whole game into that.

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.

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."

[@ilovebirds4080]

@@mig-25foxbat64 yes it's a demo to test there new engine, pretty sure Arma 4 will be big

[@TheUltimateHacker007]

@@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.

[@grizzlycmmg9578]

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.

[@pickle4332]

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

[@rhards]

the ragdolls were terrible in ArmA 3. it's a mix between ragdolls and animations now.

[@CJmontage101]

I'd take Arma 2 animations over the fucked Arma 3 ragdoll anyday. Was not satisfying at all to kill someone in Arma 3

[@grizzlycmmg9578]

@@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.

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.

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

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

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!

[@MikaTamni]

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.

[@sergiom9958]

I will confess that in a game like Arma 3 the graphics are one of the less import things in my opinion.

[@slandshark]

@@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.

[@slandshark]

@@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.

[@slandshark]

@@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.
