Reforger RFI #1: Klamacz (Lead Programmer)

the way he waves that gun around gives me even more faith in reforger 😆

[@command_unit7792]

AI control and automization spacificly for guarding and supplying locations with supplies and sending ai convoys would make the game really great(Just having AI in your squad to command would make it alot more fun) AI should have roles/jobs. For example: 1.Recon(locate and Report enemy units) 2.Suppressive fire(Pin down enemy units) 3.Harrassing Fire(AI will shoot the enemy to get their attention but will take cover and fall back) A Morale System should be included(AI Squad that suffer high casualties or are just small in number especially with lower experienced AI will have a higher chance of surrendering or fleeing their assigned position/job) This could add a whole other Immersion factor POW's. AI fleeing Battle or surrendering would make the battles more tactical(for example killing a commander could cause the Squad Morale to collapse and forcing the entire squad to flee especially if the AI is inexperienced) AI should also have a way to level up and gain experience it could be fun to have a way to customize your AI squad and develop them with training or resources or battle preformence. Having the ability to have a permenent custom squad kinda like Enlisted would definitly be a big change for a Arma but it would definitly make the AI that join you less forgettable

Awesome stuff guys you’ve always been a company of the people keep it up. 🎉

[@holthuizenoemoet591]

AI in Arma 3 had a lot of problems, like not being able to drive to checkpoints, hold their fire when needed to be stealth etc. I have good hopes for Arma reforger AI to be honest. Keep up the good work guys!

[@RickOShay]

Reforger is starting to feel a lot more stable now - thanks to guys like Klamacz. Keep up the great work! Afa AI processing is concerned I hope that BIS take into account the new soc AI processors that Intel Amd and Nvidia are working on. They are going to dramatically change AI performance, intelligence and interaction in next gen games.

[@MrSparker95]

The SoC processors you are talking about are meant for neural networks, machine learning and digital signal processing. This doesn't relate with video game AI much, except shares same name.

[@demox_yt8386]

​@MrSparker95 what about if we get enemies ai that will have its own neural network and machine learn ingame

[@TobiCreates]

Great Video - thanks for the insights. Keep up the great work - the last update was very nice!

[@arnezruthless9619]

I really hope this game comes out on PS5 one day 🙏

[@vaenii5056]

Take your time and keep up the good work! The future of Arma looks promising. The gamepad limitations may be a blessing in disguise because it really forces you to think what is important and how to streamline things and reduce micromanagement. Must be challenging but also really rewarding. At least I hope so. 😀 I hope the focus will be on infantry basics and how to make everything easier and more intuitive. For example commanding fireteams is always easier than managing each soldier individually. By basics I mean things like advancing, flanking, disengaging, using cover effectively and so on combined with things such as rally and casualty collection points. Also things like deploying static weapons, using grenades to clear out buildings and fortifications and so on. Maybe even completely redone stealth mechanic with pointmen, cautious movement, crossing roads the proper way, avoiding open areas etc. but that's probably wishful thinking. 😁

[@fluffysquirrel8385]

honestly i do like the simplification of controls compared to arma 3. a lot of people complain about less options, but i dont count having to open the controls menu to figure out how to throw the grenade a different way. good fun.

[@Brody_Austin]

I also like the more simplified approach with Reforger as well. I tried Arma 3 once and while it was fun, it was a pain in the ass trying to learn how to move effectively, let alone drive vehicles. Even though Reforger is still a WIP and there's still many features that are missing (yet to come), I enjoy it a lot more because the controls are smoother and I can get into ops quicker. I don't see this as a bad thing. A lot of people say that this game shouldn't be on consoles but I disagree. Console players have been asking for a true tactical fps for a long time after franchises like Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six have dropped the ball. Also a lot of milsim games these days such as Ready Or Not, Six Days in Fallujah, and Ground Branch have been opting for simplified control schemes instead of complex ones, so I'm not surprised that Arma has done this as well

[@solenegro]

Love the work bro keep it up I’ll be here for all of it

[@stickyrice7643]

I just hope that this comes to PS5 sometime soon, me and my friends have been waiting since reforger released and gawd does it feel like we've been waiting forever, but that's fine I'm glad they are taking their time on developing the game and just hope it comes to PS5

[@RackBoy]

so '80s !!! ^^ Nice interview. Thank you

[@SamLevin-bg2dh]

I have some questions for Klamacz, will there be actual EFFECTIVE deterrance against hackers on the new DAYZ/ARMA ReForger? Will there be more maps then just the same two? Will there be as many bugs as with the first dayz like my car disappearing in dayz at the edge of the map into the ground? will hackers be allowed to harass me for over a year on the reforger as they did in regular dayz? Will i have to sue for server logs to catch them, or will Bohemia actually be cooperative with law enforcement in Czecoslovakia and Interpol because i am preparing to go to court to find the people that harassed me if neccessary. Will I be able to Solo, or find a spark plug because i havent been able to find one on my server for dayz because of the same hackers. Will there actual loot unlike patches 1.23 and 1.24 which had zero loot. will the hacker stealing all the loot get caught, or will battleye continue to be laughed at by them on official servers? WIll Marek Spanel get rid of the dumb new patches where every zombie automagically cuts you, will hackers be able in the reforger to shoot you from anywhere on the map like current and kill your guy? will russian and chinese hackers be able to come to US ones and harass people or will Marek finally ban russia and china and iran from NATO country servers? Also add Brazil to that list. Will You add actual ammo in the game for SVAL and VSS to make it actually worth having, or will they stop having only one box a week to find? if youre lucky? Will I be able to find a car, since those are unfindable now too, Will Reforger make use of newer game engines or be stuck with 15 year old graphics as before? See as harsh as i am Klamacz,, Let me say that DAYZ IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME, I LOVE IT!! the reason im so mad and have this critique is because i see the tremendous potential of your game! fix it or i am gonna make a game that puts Bohemia out of business! now please take this game to its full potential...OR I WILL. Thanks Marek for a really fun christmas, and all the extra claymores, thats fun. As someone who was once a real combat engineer, i love seeing them. Please make reforger good, or ill make good on what i said. I promise.

[@GreeenDennis]

Good work ❤

[@exciteproductions4two0]

Yeah, the crashing is an issue when you're driving a truck full of soldiers and you suddenly disappear while you're whole team flies off a cliff. The A.I is way smarter than they make it seem. They will flank you, dive from grenades, man static weapons, and even track player movements so well that their call outs are actually important to listen to.

[@ThatTallGuy0]

Just keep it up and DONT RUSH ANYTHING. Don’t make the same mistakes of other companies and crunch cos it just makes it 100x worse

[@squigglymilton1312]

Played arma all my life on again off again familiar enough with FLASHPOINT to know not much had changed until I saw ARMA REFORGER AI making complex maneuvers on their own & not just flanking but OUT flanking in the most simple engagements. The only times you see a dude staring at you & think “why hasn’t he shot at me yet” remember he is relating your position data to the rest of the team & possibly up the chain of command LOOK OUT SHT SCARY imagine enemy artillery under this condition 😳

[@wloczykij69]

[@fbnxo]

Awesome interview. But what I'm worried about is 1.the desync of players and vehicles. 2.if there will be performance possibilities better then Arma 2, like 2x the amount of zombies. So there could be hordes in mods, as well as the missions with AI in addition to the zombies. And on top of that the amount of players 64-128

[@fbnxo]

Maybe it was Arma 3 but I think it was 2

The ai is already abit smarter that normal arma ai with out command features an of ai in vehicles.The fact that ai can go in to building and you are able to use bushes to sneak up on ai is awesome if that happen in arma you would be dead because they see you hiding.I would like to new asset like the helis and tanks, Or the arma classic camel plane and malden to go along with everon like the first ofp.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .

I personally prefer a bit more realistic experience, especially a more realistic fatigue system like the OG Arma 3 one, before the 1.45 nexus update. It would be so nice if you can have an advanced realism mode as an option to enable a more realistic environment for players similar to me.

A bit discouraging to hear there is no real timeline to get content out. I’d really like a helicopter or smarter AI. But sadly those things seem to be far away from the answers he gave.

[@ArmaPlatform]

Publicly sharing timelines is always a tricky thing. We don't want to overpromise or to be too specific, as unforeseen obstacles can always arise. However, we are currently working on improving our communication about the progress of development, more on this soon...

[@_ZeusWrath_]

why AI is dumb? “The AI is new, compared to the 20-year evolution in Arma3” - It’s as if the AI in Arma3 is super smart, Lol! Drivers push houses and obstacles, soldiers climb under tank tracks, infantry goes through walls, etc. Good luck @BIS, we love you all the same!

[@MemeDogger]

To be fair, it is old SQF. probably, Operation Flashpoint, all the way to ARMA 3 must have some semblance of code related to eachother, so it would have evolved, but not as much probably due to limitations, if im not mistaken, the enfusion engine (albeit can't say myself, and only taken by word) that it will *fix* most of those old dusty mistakes from long ago...

Including consoles into the Arma will hamper amount of input possibilities in final product. Currently in Arma 3, I have keyboard cover with keybinds for almost all keys. I even bought mouse with 11 buttons, just to cover requirements of necessary keys to have "under the thumb". My friend done simillar stuff. As a veteran Arma player I can say that everything GUI related in Reforger, from main menu, in-game menu, partly equipment interface AND ESPECIALLY ZEUS MENU, is a bearly usable mess for PC user. There is no even this very flexible keybinding menu from Arma 3. Just some duct taped "thing" to please console gamers. Bohemia, please - remember that core of Your players is PC based, and creating interface and other stuff tailored for console players will only annoy PC gamers.
