Reforger is not bad as a starting point for ARMA noobs. It's quite fun.

[@Trve_Kvlt]

I have, as of writing this, 3,835 hours between Arma 3 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead (only accounting for 191 hours), and I'd wager that as far as Arma games go, Reforger is THE best place to start in the entire series. Reforger is much less convoluted in terms of controls and scope, while also looking better and having better QoL features than the previous games. The only thing Reforger is missing for me personally is something like the 3den editor. But, as it stands right now, Reforger is just a test bed for the next game and not a full game in the Arma franchise. I do hope the ease of use that Reforger has makes its return in the next game, because as popular as Arma 3 was and still is, the next game, hopefully, has the potential to be the best game in the entire franchise.

[@LudvikKoutnyArt]

It's naive to think that people new to ArmA series will be interested in other ArmA games afer trying reforger, especially when it comes to multiplayer. Sub-20FPS is just not playable experience. It's no longer an animated "movie" but a series of static pictures displayed in a rapid succession. Only people willing to put up with something this unacceptable are people like us who grew up with OFP and ArmA series, so they can ignore it through strongly rose tinted glasses. But nearly anyone who never played ArmA game before will not be able to put up which such terrible performance (regardless of hardware) and such extreme degree of jank.

[@Kodaiva]

@@LudvikKoutnyArt the issue is that it runs better than 3 anyways

[@Hinokassaudifan1]

@@LudvikKoutnyArt while yes, the game has the WORST connection issues of a game I played ever, the experience it provided is definitely unique. Sure, I love 3's futuristic/modern setting, but it's very old. We're talking more than 10 years. The community it boasted back then is not the same now. Reforger is at a place where most noobs can get the basic idea of what goes on in an ArmA server.

[@sefin84]

I have massive problems with FOV. I simply can't set it to feel right. Second issue is that for some reason I can't see well in Reforger. I don't know why. The game looks great but my eyes don't like it.

6k hrs in A3 and 2k in Reforger here - imo the biggest problem with these games are the server owners and the way they have an inherent need to absolutely flood their servers with inane BS that you'd likely never use, in the way of mods. When you find a server or group that DOESN'T do that, the quality of experience skyrockets, but they're very few and far between because the game already requires so many mods just to be good. Fantastic video showing that the game can be fun, but it's not (and never will be) great. And I love it :)

Actually the first game was called Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis which was released in 2001 and later renamed to Operation Flashpoint Elite when it was ported to the Xbox in 2005, then it was once again renamed to ARMA Cold War Crisis because Bohemia split from Code Masters due to an internal rift in the company. Bohemia's newest game ARMA Reforger is set on the same Island in the same time period that Cold War Crisis is set on called Everon.

[@WORLDWAR3RIC]

My first reforger game i linked up with some randoms and we all grouped to assault an objective, all loaded up into a convoy and got immediately rpgd when we left the base. Gold

[@Mexterinfinite]

Arma, despite being a niche milsim game, has always been a pretty important part of gaming since through Arma 2's DayZ we got quite a lot of survival games (Rust lists it as inspiration) and through DayZ Battle Royale it helped inspire a lot of games. Player Unknown of PUBG fame got his start making DayZ Battle Royale. It's all super dependent on finding servers making use of the creativity it allows. It honestly sounds like the server you guys joined was pretty good with god/"Zeus" (the Arma 3 term) making things on the fly and helping out. Don't forget your map though. It's quite easy to get lost in the beauty of reforger's maps, literally and metaphorically.

Man wth Arma 3 is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I just don't think people understand WHY. You basically have INFINITE possibilities due to their absolutely HUGE amount of different functions available meaning you can script pretty much anything. I understand your gripes with mods but it is because arma is so configurable and open to everyone that mods are easy (relatively) to make and the reason their is SO MANY of them. No it isnt a game with a set gamemode and what not but that isnt what its designed for. Arma is more of a sandbox where people can utilise the tools provided to them such as 3den editor or Zeus to create hundreds of thousands of unique scenarios and experiences. That is the reason I love arma though for people who are used to stuff like squad with its standardised gamemodes I get why they may struggle to understand it.

I agree with what you said but ARMA has a high sealing of entry compared to games like Squad. Most people don't have time to explore the infinite possibilities when learning the game enough to just start playing takes long hours. Compared to that you can just download Squad and pop into a game.

My man if you want to find enemies and do some shooting you should try the conflict game mode in reforger. As for the time spent in-menu and waiting to join server: all I can say is that the total time spent in reforger waiting to join server and setting up kit is comparable and quite often significantly shorter than the wait to join a good squad server especially since you only have to create a kit once per server.

The ArmA series began with Armed Assault (aka ArmA I if you will), but the very first game created by Bohemia Interactive was Operation Flashpoint (renamed ArmA: Cold War Crisis afterwards), released in 2001.

[@santiagorojaspiaggio]

Sorry, i know that you probably know this, but i have to say it: the first Arma game is "Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis", later renamed "Arma: Cold War Assault" (even if it had a different name, due to legal reasons, it's exactly the same, apart from graphics). It was a completely innovative/visionary/ambitious game for its time. And even with all its flaws and the hard access to its gameplay, i just can't avoid the unique feel this franchise still has, different from other milsims (that i also play). For the full multiplayer experience, i recommend joining a community/unit (it also depends on which type of teamwork you look for). They will help you to make the game more accessible. And a very unpopular oppinion, that not many people will agree with, but: i love the official story campaigns and the Armaverse lore. They are hard and glitched, but they're an emotional experience that Call of Duty will never give you; even with moments of similarities (ex: stealth; secret conspiracies). You get to do missions of regular infantry; special forces; armoured vehicles; helicopters and jets; doing sabotage; sniping; being captured and escaping; surviving alone in enemy territory; directing airstrikes; using drones; commanding troops or vehicles; doing recon; patrolling; fighting with nightvision; guerrilla warfare and gathering supplies; retreating; watching the map change through the campaign development; constantly making choices that affect the future missions and the ending... Even hunting mines and reconstructing history ("Remnants of War" DLC) or making contact with aliens ("Contact" DLC). Or sometimes living as a civilian (different moments from different campaigns).

[@sEver7I]

Forgive me, but as a fan of the franchise for more than 2 decades now, I'll come in with some clarification. "I was there, Gandalf..." The story actually starts with the original title from Bohemia Interactive, called back then "Operation Flashpoint", released in 2001, which is now available on Steam as "Arma: Cold War Assault". We played that in college a lot. The tagline for that title was "If you see the flash, it's already too late", highlighting the high level of realism and how you could get killed with a single bullet. It was probably the first full Battlefield Simulator on this planet, where you could drive every vehicle, equip dozens of weapons and tools, order every AI soldier in your squad, could use a map and a compass to navigate, and it also had accurate night sky, so during night missions you could navigate by the stars. It also had an amazing soundtrack. That same engine was also used for the Virtual Battle Space military simulator, which was used by armies around the world for training purposes, and was not sold to general public. The rights to the original "Operation Flashpoint" title were being held by the publisher - Codemasters, with whom Bohemia Interactive parted ways due to some disagreements around the sequel. Basically Codemasters didn't like the fact that BI had been spending time scanning real-life weapons and modelling the character's eyeballs, while pushing the deadline further and further. So they stopped cooperating. In 2006, when Bohemia Interactive's was releasing a sequel, it was named "Arma: Armed Assault". Much later, the original first game was re-named to "Arma: Cold War Assault", to get it in line with the later titles. In 2009, Codemasters made a very bad attempt at their sequel named "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising", trying to capitalize on their rights to the name, but that game was all hype and no bang, and for many it was the grand-proof to never again pay for a preorder of an overhyped game. It is a popular misconception that ARMA is an acronym of "Armed Assault" but it's actually from latin, where "arma" stands for "war", "weapons", "soldiers". Therefore, it's not an "Armed Assault" series of games, it's "Arma" series of games, where only one title was named "Armed Assault". Hope that helps :)

Arma is the game of all time because it is a game that has been fuelled by very talented people and pure spite, the reason it has branched off so many games is because so many have realised it’s just easier to start from scratch than build on the jank, but with that being said in this current age the jank is gone, and it is getting more and more refined into a very cool experience

[@tarakivu8861]

Yeah, for Arma you kinda need to check stuff out first, learn some basics (because Reforger doesnt have a tutorial really) and then check out what you actually want to play. Of course the Server Browser shows you all. After you know what you want (and what its called), you can choose your favourite server again and play.. jumping blindly into Arma.. not that useful. Its a sandbox and you just wont know whats in it and how much sand you are getting in your shoes.

[@DarkysLPs]

The thing with any Server or ARMA group is to find one that has the right mix between "seriousness" and screwing around a bit. I've been playing since ARMA 1 and I tend to avoid the "serious" Servers with rank calling, etc like the plague. Where most of my enjoyment for the series came from was having a smaller group of players and playing self made Missions. Also the editor isn't as complicated as some people think. Just plonk down some weapon crates, sprinkle in a few enemies in a Town or wherever you like, grab a respawn script and Bob's your uncle. Of course you can get all fancy with missions but even barebones ones can be a ton of fun with friends.

The best video ever, also the drama 😂

[@RhyzzG]

Dude this was a great video 😅

[@DNH17]

"Serious" is quality, people today just play trash and repeat to themselves "I am playing a videogame in front of a screen" instead to understand that quality is fun, it is the best thing, it is the only way to play well games, casual or not call it as u want you need to be knowledgable of what you are doing what you are playing ,the context and so on (with any game... The problem is that people do not understand how important is having unique gameplay sessions WITH SOULD MATES LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. I created my small crew project and I am all about this since years. No HUD Team is the way. Arma 3 anyway for the win.

[@BigBigBigJeff]

These sessions were insanely funny

[@guilhermefernandessousa9514]

the project reality update was also pretty fun

I'm Russian so didn't understand nearly half of the conversations, but I was laughing harder than I expected 👍 :⁠-⁠)

I tried so hard to get into Squad but I just couldn't get into it. Spawn, travel an excessive distance to the frontline, die in 2 seconds of combat, rinse and repeat.

[@Texshy]

I was in a Arma 3 clan for a little bit until Squad came out. Squad provided the squad and platoon tactics I wanted without the tons of mods and waiting around for people to show up to a op or training session. I would still be interested in playing Arma 4 in the future, mostly for as a benchmark.

[@LegendaryGames420]

Arma has been my fave game by far, there's a reason that years later it still has a 22,000 player base

“Spend 35 hours a week just to read the map”. My brother that’s just called a map. Like a regular paper one.

[@Timedemon-hw6wf]

the admin was giving me big stanley parabel vibes 😂😂

[@DoctorSantosh]

Reforger with A3 mods and A3 AI ability to drive/pilot vehicles would be perfecto

[@rakowozz]

I almost fell off my chair when he asked you for a map wtf hahaha 23:35

[@Rammaras]

4:03 Bro you are jacked. Good stuff.

[@xXxdevilsxXx1982]

Actually there first game was operation flashpoint

[@XCougar85X]

That was a fun one SLogs. When the game works it is fun. When you get low server FPS and end up using a mag to kill one NPC and get killed in return, that is when i refunded it. Was like 2 months ago. We'll see after summer.

[@yume5338]

Even though I mainly still play Arma 3 I almost equally play Reforger nowadays too. The movement and gunplay is miles better than in 3, and the graphics are incredibly immersive. Can't wait for them to add the power system to Everon, where you can toggle building lights and take out power grids.

[@Hozq3D]

This video was surprisingly funny, would absolutely watch more stuff like this
