INSANE RAID to start the Reforger era! 60fps Reforger milsim gameplay w/ShackTac

[@TheVerendus]

Honestly the first 10 minutes of walking and climbing on the rocks is such a good showcase of the differences to A3. You would have yeeted yourself off that cliff multiple times in A3, and while the mountain-goating is a little ridiculous it is so nice to have a soldier who doesnt want to propel himself at lightspeed the moment he steps off an edge.

[@Krahamus]

Not only that you often get stuck on rocks, under them and just die for no reason.

[@EntryLevelLuxury]

Ngl I’ll miss it

[@ImMora1]

That is exactly what I was thinking too! The fact that no one got stuck or yeeted really is a huge improvement over A3 alone!

[@elunico8243]

Emotions like on the chess match

[@neattricks7678]

Enhanced Movement is pretty reliable on A3. Of course, it's not vanilla and it can look jank with the camera clipping into rocks and stuff. It's nice that Reforger just makes it smooth, but the mountain goating will definitely have to go. It will degrade the gameplay quality if terrain is a nonfactor (besides stopping vehicles and providing a lot of cover)

[@whatwhat3825]

I've followed you for nearly a decade now man. it's great to see you and shacktac being the point men for Reforger - and Bohemia products in the future.

[@rhodrambles3943]

What heresy is this, you climbed a mountain without randomly sliding or jumping off weird terrain glitches. But seriously this release has really surprised me. I knew it / something was coming but I really appreciate how honest Bohemia is being. Not trying to sell it as a $70 game and they have been completely transparent with everything and how this is a stand between game. Love what I have seen so far and looking forwards to more as you guys fully get to grips with it!

[@mwgfghost8231]

@Danny L well I don't know if it was because of the leak or what, but they just released it out of the blue and I think everyone was just expecting ARMA 4. I think this was more to test the new engine and also to get us hyped for ARMA 4. I wanna buy this, but I wanna see what the modding community does with it and also want the bugs to be worked out first.

[@mwgfghost8231]

I agree 100%. I'm so hyped. It just looks gorgeous.

[@rhodrambles3943]

@Danny L I wonder if half of these people even read the description of the games they buy and then complain how its not what they imagine it was. The biggest clue should have been the price which is almost the same as the DLC for Arma3.

[@FIRESNAKE1072]

@Danny L I mean they explained what it was you must’ve not seen it

[@NavidIsANoob]

@Danny L There's always going to be the teen gamers who will have difficulty grasping a concept like this. You just have to calculate the initial review bombings into your prospects these days. It's unavoidable.

[@originalpastaman5470]

Honestly equally hyped for a rally racing mod for this game. Been spending a lot of time in the gamemaster just driving jeeps through the mountain trails as fast as possible. Love how you can no longer just park a tank on a cliff face anymore. Honestly depending on the playstyle, Arma Reforger and Arma 4 is shaping up to be both the most authentic milsim games and also one of the most fun fuck around games out there.

[@veronicacampos1294]

The new engine is truly an accomplishment. Imagine doing a race in Arma 3, everything is going smooth until in the left bottom corner of the screen you see "Random guy is losing connection " then everybody rubberbands for a split second and when you blink, everyone is dead with their cars on fire while some poor dude is flying with his car at 2000 ft questioning his own existence. Ok, jokes aside, Arma 3 was a Behemoth of a game despite the flaws it has. But Reforger is showing us that it STILL can get a lot better. The framework is there, we just need to give it patience in the same way Arma 3 received patience when it was a game about the US fighting the Iranians on a island called Stratis, factions shared the same equipment because content was scarce, and even the showcase missions were bugged to hell (ahh arma 3 beta days 💀) and look where Arma 3 stands now and how it improved enormously. Arma 4 looks even better now we have Reforger as an appetizer.

[@Voron_Aggrav]

I'll miss seeing the random yeets, but I can imagine it's less fun to having to deal with it whilst playing

[@Alenori]

@@Voron_Aggrav I vote they bring it back as a super rare death animation, on all assets. lol

[@ohAwaken]

​@@veronicacampos1294 also now that we have Reforger as something for the modding community to build on. I cant imagine bohemia wouldn't make the mods portable.

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

It was a pleasure running with you and the crew, buddy. Thanks for the invite! Looking forward to the next one!

[@dslyecxi]

It was good to have you along, thanks for joining!

[@AmadeusProductions]

I could really feel 20:47 where you inspected your weapon, instinctually hitting i to open the inventory. Instantly reminds me of g for gear, at lease this time the downside does not involve throwing a frag XD

[@NavidIsANoob]

12:10 That was incredibly suspenseful. Looked like it came right out of a movie, how the enemy scout looked over the valley, oblivious that a full squad of killers had their sights trained on him. Scary stuff!

[@smoore6461]

That was truly epic when thr guy walked to the edge of the cliff and looked out over the valley. Dslyecxi had in square in a headshot and he never looked down!! That was fantastic great level of stress and anticipation. The whole mountain goat aspect does make the suspension of disbelief a little hard buf I watched the Reforger video Dslyecxi did yesterday so it's not something all that surprising and I know this is early and things will change, I think the sounds were awesome from the weapons to distant explosions and the echo in the mountains around you all!! I'm a big fan of the M14, and I can't get over how the sounds change at a distance and with obstructions between you and them. This is so cool to see happening!! All of it makes me so excited for what I can expect to see in the future. Great video Dslyecxi!!

[@snoppsliquid]

The sound engine is very immersive and I also appreciate seeing dark interiors of buildings.. I like where this is going

[@immunetou2]

I was on the fence for Reforger since it is an interim to the next until I watched this mission. I am getting back in this game, they have delivered! Brought me back to the old OFP/ArmA2 days, AND back to my infantry days...that is saying something! Thanks for sharing brother!

[@JoeDuke12]

"oh shit" lol after the decision had been made to climb in the truck but then bullets started ripping through the cab. Something about firefights in this is so much more intense than A3. Could just be the soundscape but it is heart pounding stuff

[@ragingagent5040]

Awesome to see an arma game where you can approach rocky terrain without reality breaking.

[@NexTheCheeto]

This is the best ArmA has looked and sounded! I really want to give this a go, but its probably still a little too early for me. Looking forward to more video to sate my appetite as they start adding more content and updates.

[@TheMilkManCow]

It is really exciting but conflict mode is in a really rough state right now. Partly that's the game's fault for being half finished, and partly it's the player's faults for being kind of dumb lol. I have had a couple hours of fun now after finding some good people in game but don't expect anything close to smooth sailing.

[@Alenori]

@@TheMilkManCow Well, Reforger isn't even actually a game, it's a Technical Demo with only about 12 months of planned support. I'm not expecting a lot with this, more so a functional concept of ArmA 4, and a precursor to it to allow Modders and devs time to build mods, packs, expand the development scope, etc.

[@ohAwaken]

​@@Alenori either that or a demo to potentially hire the modders who made waves in a3

[@AFOKHAOS]

I wish more had your mindset @Rush , far too many negative reviews about people who evidently expected a complete game and were angry when it wasnt. Good on you for making the choice to wait and not just flame the game.

[@deathwish-gg8wz]

Unless you are part of a community I wouldn't recommend until the servers are fixed

[@remake223]

Excited to see shacktac in the new era. Reminds me of first videos in arma 3

[@swuk8193]

Thanks Dslyecxi, great short opening to a new era of ARMA.

[@MrSmoofington]

Happy to see Shacktac still playing together, can't wait to see what future scenarios you guys try to do in Reforger even if it is bare bones at the moment.

[@WhiskeyMate]

Bro I’ve been watching you and shacktac since I was a young teenager obsessed with Arma 2. You and Kilroy pretty much made me get into PC gaming. Super excited to see Arma evolve from here

[@supasonic9499]

Awesome video! You guys are always entertaining to watch. 11:48 was my favorite part. cHRISTOPHER: "If they they come here, we need to kill them, very violently." Dslyecxi sets his M2 Carbine's selector switch from stun to very lethal. EDIT: Oh, my bad. That is actually a M14. It's set to super lethal only.

[@glennpeterson1357]

That moment at 12:14 was great. Real tension there! :)

[@chilliewhk]

Those last 8 minutes were a trip, jeez

[@Ekstrax]

Awesome stuff, I also immediately recognized Controlled Pairs Gaming's voice there Who else than Shacktac to test this ^^

[@TarnishUK]

Those last few minutes were bloody hilarious! No idea how you didn't roll the truck. 😁

[@FirstDagger]

Wow, that truck driving sold me on Reforger I think.

[@mwgfghost8231]

Daishi @10:45 dropping factz. Slow movement speed. Everybody was too close because they were moving too fast and then stopping right behind each other. I know when my one friend and I play the SOG Prairie Fire DLC for ARMA 3, we sorta do the patrolling slow walk until we come into contact with or spot the enemy. LMFAO that drive was hilarious, but well done for not flipping it especially under fire like that

[@Void304]

Bohemia has officially ditched the Action Menu. That alone is reason enough to cheer for ArmA: Reforger.

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

"There should be a safe place but uh... God may be cruel." Truer words have never been spoken, cHRISTOPHER.

[@matt2.052]

Even though the lag the animations look really good when someone turns around in full body weight

[@draigaur9543]

i cant put my finger on it but this seemed more intense than usual, possibly the more realistic terrain, or the reaction of the ai ? i look forward to all the content this will bring from you and others!

[@wildtangent6890]

I beleive ai are now able to push players more effectively since they can now move and shoot at the same time

[@Krahamus]

AI is still a bit off but like said they will push on you, and if you in house they will come inside, and not just stand around house.

[@Smurfman256]

The upgraded sound design definitely helps.

[@ShadesShack]

Really enjoyed this early showcase! Awesome scenario and really suspenseful too! I love the throwback to the late 80's, and I think it is a more interesting setting in a lot of ways compared to A3.

[@sydnytt]

very promising stepping stone! happy about vehicle physics, though a bit rough at this point. Missing aiming deadzone, been using since operation flashpoint! gives the unique arma feel. also the stances additions that came with arma 3. excited to follow development!

[@CPSPD]

have you found any performance hogging settings to turn off or are you playing maxed out? the framerate looks great. thank you for the years of entertainment, exciting as hell to see such a step forward for the series.

[@ohAwaken]

as someone with a 2/3 ish year old rig, I'd say it's smooth as hell. haven't yet been in a large ai filled play yet, but i can update

[@EntryLevelLuxury]

I love how you can’t see yourself on the map. Feels more like Morrowind somehow, in that the terrain is this vast expanse you have to actually navigate instead of just knowing instantly via map.

[@calebr908]

morrowind is goat. love that shit.

[@PECOSO0]

I am sure the stamina and whole rock climbing will be fixed later on. Great mission video "D" Keep them coming, Semper Fi

[@FolfiWolfie]

The start middle and ending all seemed like an amazing cinematic almost like you could make a movie scene out of it haha insane raid indeed! Props to that Russian being very blind when he went to take a look over the rock into the sun. Bet he didn't expect to know their was about 10+ Americans all looking at him.

[@kariko07]

[@easygroove]

Love such a Mission - and would love some Deep Recon missions wie E&E stuff.. maybe gettin captured and then Escape.. that would be awesome.

[@BlackoutsBattalion]

with the new engine i wanna see what they do with armor, is there gonna be ammo rack explosions and actual armor penetration? maybe even basic interiors? and i hope its gonna be modern era i so wanna use a M1A2 or M1128(rip) without needing it modded in

[@AFOKHAOS]

I think thats the exact reason we havent seen proper armoured vehicles yet. Ive got a feeling they are going much deeper. Im confident there will bet interiors, they got so much love for them in the tanks DLC. The BTR 70 already has a nice interior and cool animations when getting in.

[@barry3232]

I cannot wait to see how the helicopter fly for this will be

[@theDemong0d]

I assume it will be very similar to A3, I highly doubt BI will be able to build a better flight model than RotorLib in-house.

[@Dechristian3]

What magic has been bestowed upon us

[@IceTactics]

I've got to say I love the new grenade throwing mechanics compared to vanilla Arma 3. So cool that you actually take it out and strike a pose. Very cinematic and much more realistic. Sick firefight!

[@Krahamus]

In general everything is modernized witch i like, arma 3 was clunky as hell like mouse choose menu is from operation flashpoint cold war crisis witch is idk 15 years old or more, so this shift was needed long time ago, glad it finally came

[@TheWabbitSeason]

I wanted an SVD after OFP: Resistance many years ago (eventually got a VEPR 54). Now I want an M1A SOCOM after playing with the M14.

[@sunnycat69]

[@FlinnGaidin]

Favourite moments were during the race to the quarry, when you're slip-sliding around, dodging enemy patrols, narrowly missed by an RPG, and nearly crashing into a tree when the T junction came up....I wonder if the amount of fuel in the fuel tanker has any effect on the handling as you drive...?🤔 Looking very nice!

This isn’t a game it’s a tech demo with a map so you can use that as a test bed for the mods you create, the “game” comes along with a really really good modding tool and enables mod creators ease of access to create content on the new engine to port easily into arma 4 when it arrives at a later date

Mirrors are really hard to implement from a technical point of view. Usually, you don't have anything behind you rendered, all objects disappear to improve performance. Adding mirrors means you have to keep what's behind you and that impacts performance really significantly. Enfusion engine will get there, it will just take some time.

[@andi8343]

@@andi8343 It was done for A3 but if you look at the quality, mirros are really pixelates, even on the highest PiP setting. You'll probably find they are working on it but want to make them high detail as to not detract away from the higher quality standards the visuals have in the new engine.
