I have played Arma 1, 2, & 3 for years now. I absolutely love the game and what mod devolpers have done for the community. Reformer looks amazing with its tightened gameplay. I am sad I won't be able to experience it on PC. My PC is showing its age and cannot keep up with modern games anymore. With prices what they are I cannot afford to build or buy a new one. With arma on Xbox, I can afford that and I am happy I will be able to play a series I love again.

[@OM4Rx]

Start saving up bro don’t tell yourself that you can’t! You thinking that will never let you get out of that I know it’s tough but just try saving up even if its $20 a week

[@Commurican]

I'm not going to lie I think a lot of people that play this need to hear the logistics part. There's just so few people willing to do logistics.

[@HerezCheez]

Logi is frustrating because trucks are way too slow, especially on an incline. I get that it's because of gravity but still the truck loses so much speed with the slightest incline even at full throttle.

[@StevenSeagul783]

@@HerezCheezthis is so true. It’s not really so much that the trucks are terribly slow, it’ just that any incline kills 110% of your momentum and speed. Same with every vehicle too. It needs to be fixed. No way that’s realistic.

[@AudriusMikuckas]

I just play combat ops, alone. Those boxes or game master is just not for me

[@NY-Vice]

Most people don't even understand the objective tbh.

[@medln5357]

theres a very good reason why logistics is a demanding job literally everywhere in the world. its boring and stressful as heck but is a fundament to war and global economics xD

[@sumguyman8656]

It feels like it's a constant "but wait! there's more!" Love it. This game is awesome.

[@morganconklin8849]

As a new player, and being asked “what does the game need”. This was my first request. Talk about great response time! As a noob, I’ve been mostly trying to transport supplies to learn the map better and quicker.

[@RussianPunchProductions]

heey, fellow supply driver! :) nice! how's navigation for you?

[@morganconklin8849]

@@RussianPunchProductions I’m getting better at knowing the map, but I’m still having to stop and check it to make sure I don’t miss a turn. Honestly the hardest part is not getting from town to town, it’s actually finding the garrisons friendly or enemy. I always have a problem finding it, I end up in the right area but it’s hard for me to actually locate bases still. Like some people know exactly where bases are, I get off track and turned around looking for them especially when they’re in the woods. And I always blow past the ones tucked into the clearings off the roads. I’m still new with less than 60 hours. I usually get frustrated and just fast travel to the next objective when I get too lost.

[@justjsse8917]

[@pecluca]

Thank you guys. Regarding Conflict we need another kind of guide: People have to learn what is important to help their team winning. Some examples: do not start the game wasting precious supplies and time dressing up like Rambo only to be left behind by the vehicles. If You are the driver, please please please be on comms. If you are capturing an objective, bring some supplies for the antenna. Respawn costs supplies (more so if you have an heavy loadout), learn to fast travel with the transport request. Main base respawns don't cost any supplies. Some objectives are more important than others to capture and defend, despite being in the middle of nowhere. And most importantly, if you don't have a clue, ask.

[@tobytoxd]

Thank you! You guys again put up insane content! Besides providing us with the best first person military sim on the market, you created the platform for the zombie survival games hype, you created the platform for the battle royal games hype, you created the platform for the Arma Life Mod, which inspired countless gamers and creators. You now are the first developers who share the biggest and most complete game and mod launcher with release, you are the first developers who serve full mod support from a workshop for consoles at release and you are the first developers at that scale in the business who release the whole engine tool with assets and sounds to everyone right from the start. Guys, stay legendary!

Arma Reforger is exactly what I've always been looking for including its community. Exactly why I start a KZbin channel. I want to provide fun content for everyone and hopefully reach out to new people to learn about this amazing game!

[@ChillinbraFPS]

You have made this a great experience now some things I have not even thought about like the map markings! Thank you!

[@samclark2541]

Not going to lie, it's hard to learn if you've never played a milsim before. But adapting to the play style is easy enough and the community is very supportive 🤙🏼

Thank you, so many good tips in this guide

[@Chooie6]

As a vet all the way from Arma 2 this was a nice overview i didn't know about the combat ops mode I'll have to try that one. While there are still some issues with trying to play with mods it's still a blast to play lately. I guess my only gripe at the moment is that there's no flight controller support which has kept me away from the helicopters, but I had heard why it's not there so i guess i have some hope for it to be added.

[@MrRabbit954]

[@vojtisekhovor]

Nice video! Though I feel one thing should be mentioned that Arma veterans know and Reforger newbies do not yet - its the communities that make the game, join one, create one and be part of something bigger. I cannot stress enough how vastly improved experience with organised scenarios is.

[@TacticalMetalhead]

Baller stuff, thanks BI

[@MemesOfFreedomHere]

I would like that we could hide the mines under the terrain and only the 25% tip of the mine can be visible, and we can hide them with the shovel in only terrain places

How do you host a LAN server in Arma Reforger with mods as well

[@morganconklin8849]

You have to rent a server in order to use the mods you download with your friends unfortunately

[@dagwoodchat6350]

Im on xbox and when I download mods now it says storage is full. When I look at my hard drive it shows only 50% is full. I don't get it. I guess you can't download all the same stuff as pc.

Btw I am completely new to arms and this is my first time playing, well I didn’t actually play anything I just waited for 3 hours and got annoyed

[@myles5388]

Those are modded servers needing the necessary mods in order to play- if you want quick jump in and play you’ll want the official servers. It’s similar to dayz in that way, It can be tedious but once your set up and playing it’s well worth it

Could really help with gaining support for the this arma bridge we call reforger.

That is not how the memory for the mods work man. You can only download -____GBs (I am not sure how much it is but, its no more than 25gb) of Mod downloads. Be specific about what you download- Clear your downloads in Mod manager and only download mods for the servers you frequent.
