Arma Reforger's got a mission I like

Arma Reforger's progress has been slow, steady, and now it has a grand total of 1 really fun mission for my friend and I to play. Repeatedly. Forever more, at every LAN we ever host from now on.

My friends and I used to play insurgency modes in ARMA2 for hours and hours, but when we wanted to play together and not on a large server we would make modifications to the mode to allow faster respawns and spawns on teammates. We also had a mobile HQ that would act as a teleport point from the main base if we needed a safer spot or wanted to update gear at main. The beauty of ARMA is that you can play it how you want.

[@JCDentonCZ]

I thought you were talking about singleplayer missions - Original Operation Flashpoint's mission where it all goes wrong and (it seems) there are multiple endings to it that branch the story off always stayed on my mind, though it's a bit of a distant memory for me now since it's been many years ago. In my case I ended up stranded and alone in a forest, hunted by helicopters and squads of patrols as I had to sneak from tree line to tree line, cross open fields while trying desperately to scan for enemies in the far distance, for what felt like hours until I reached my objective.

[@TheMaestro116]

Escape from Chernarus for Arma 2 was some of the most fun my friend and I ever had in a session of this kind of game ever. Just you and a friend, settings for scaling down to that player count.. the entire goal: fight your way from a cage where the guard drops dead with a single random Loadout to loot, then try to find gear and vehicles and fight your way to the extraction on the coast which is then ambushed as you flee out to sea, with MGs on the back of boats. The patrol and base system was so cool, sneaking around taking out patrols and looting them, avoiding tanks and APC patrols

I like the option between having big battle game modes and smaller ones as well. The good thing ab arma is that it is also modable to hell and back, and there were so many mods in arma 3 from big team war modes and small team sized quick plays

[@kipchickensout]

my favourite thing was when we had like 8 players and we were playing KP Liberation in ArmA 3. We had american loadouts but also had some missions where we used only russian mods. We then got a helicopter to drop us off alongside but kind of far from the shore of a small town we wanted to "liberate" while we ourselves were inside of a little submarine, keeping contact with the helicopter over TFAR radio. We were equipped with swim suits, under water radios and under water guns with suppressors. Then we left the submarine and dived towards the shore still for like 10+ minutes before silently leaving the water and taking out any CSAT we came across. of course it didn't last too long until they got alerted eventually and we had a firefight that broke out of course in the end we could've done it by just having one person get close enough to trigger enemy spawns and then have one or two 30mm american freedom birds BRRRT everywhere but that's not fun

[@emeraldcelestial1058]

Honestly milsims NEED this kind of gameplay in their games even if its just a mission on its own or segregated from the hardcore stuff. These are video games, not real life, give people options to hardcore or funcore it.

[@Donnirononon]

The best coop i remember was Ghost Reacon Advanced Warfighter. They had custom servers with hardcore where you spawned and had to go trought a custom, linear level full of enemies and encounters to master. Took like an hour and lots of teamwork and felt quite real back then since it was not much over the top, respawns but also tactical. Its not so much about the respawning or realism simulation than the linear "queue" of encounters that was the fun of it since every 5 minutes you needed a new tactic, someone needed a revive maybe, first you were BIS but next you need a mate with a sniper and so on.

[@SneakyRANGERREX]

Reminds me of the mod Dynamic Recon Ops from ARMA 3 albeit not as customizable, I'm hoping this means a highly customizable dynamic small team sandbox is going to be a a flagship mode in the games to come.

It’s the perfect PVP concept for me. Don’t get me wrong, it needs a lot of improvement and BI have made some questionable choices. Servers are still problematic and 32 players isn’t enough.

Ive always preferred the basic look of Arma1 and OPFlash. When Arma 3 came along with its glitzy, busy, complicated UI i was put off. I hope they keep the basic UI of Reforger, moving forward. Graphics aren't everything- out of necessity i would play Arma1 at the lowest settings, as long as the frames were smooth, i still felt part of the environment. A few clicks from booting up the game to a quick skirmish was great. Not to mention that fantastic looking green foliage! Thats my wishlist anyway. Ill definitely be checking this one out.

Arma 3 gives me a bitter taste due to the jank, Reforger is fun but my new PC is now outdated once again, and now I realize higher resolution monitors make more sense now given how more realistic games are getting so you can see targets at range easier with more pixels on screen unlike my 1080p TV from 2006 I play on.

[@trulyinfamous]

I loved ARMA 3 but I agree, the jank degraded the experience and made me feel like I was with an abusive spouse. I enjoy a lot about the game but I was always looking for similar games without the issues, but nothing ever had the same depth and features of ARMA 3. I tried Squad but it lacked some of the features I enjoyed, such as the zoom and drawing on the map. Sometimes it was just difficult to continue enjoying the game when it's running at 6fps and the ai can easily see you through even a dense forest or maybe shoot you through a wall. Unfortunately, the jank runs deep in ARMA 3's engine. Horrible physics and getting ARMA'd, weird controls, lots of menus, atrocious performance, struggling to make things work in the editor, bad base-game ai, and many other issues. I was stuck with a game that I loved but every time I would tell it, it would just kick me in the balls. I'd be willing to forgive many of the flaws if the damned game ran at a good framerate! I'd even settle for 30fps if it was always consistent.
