What is ARMA REFORGER? (and why isn't it ARMA 4?) | Review

[@BillyEatWorld]

Hey all! The winners of the ARMA: Reforger codes are... 1. Daniel John Dela Victoria 2. Nomad 3. Dany. If this is you, send me a D.M. on Discord for more info on how to collect the code. Thanks everyone for entering!

[@unconscious1417]

I'm genuinely so excited for the future of this series. As a young man who never got to experience the "golden era" of this game I'm hyped for the next generation and curious on where they'd take it. This game, which is basically a tech preview, is already so promising. Going from arma 3 to this is like night and day! Every little feature and addition just makes me so pumped, this is exactly what the community needed. Not to mention the modding potential. so good.

[@nickumstead]

Same here, I didn’t have a computer powerful enough to play Arma 2, and once I did finally Arma 3 released and again I didn’t have anything powerful enough to handle that. Jump 7 years later I finally got a computer to play it and now Arma 4 is just around the corner lol

[@some_guy9347]

Ditto

[@sergiotapia626]

Same man I’ve always played arma at a friends house and then one day in 2018 I got arma 3 found out it was kinda dead downloaded the A3launcher and found 3 severs that where high pop 2 king of the hill servers and a dayz server I’ve put over 400 hours into these servers so ik when arma 4 come out ima be gaming hella tuff

[@sigmundboguslavovich6411]

Haha the first time I encountered ArmA was Op FP at my classmate's. I was like "what, you get hit once and that's it, you're dead? That's do stupid". Oh how the things change.

[@jager5751]

I'm just like you.

[@CloneStrategist]

I like the idea that reforger gives the modding community an opportunity to start prior to the Arma 4 release. Like that is brilliant.

[@Gurfi28]

80% of the appeal of Arma is mods. The base game is shit without them.

[@subukx]

To be honest it seems like Bohemia finally understood that mods are a crucial part of their games and made it really accessible to create them which is great. Looking forward to the future of the Reforger after it gets some mods and Arma 4.

[@mitchconnor9567]

Some folks might not like how it's becoming more like Squad, but I think that's a good thing. Movement looks way better and less slow and clunky. I'll wait until there's more coop before I try it.

[@parawill7074]

Exactly. It needs to be different from Arma 3 and attract casuals to get more money for future content and games. Reforger doesn’t need to be Arma 4 and I like the idea of us playing an upgraded version of Operation Flashpoint on a new engine and other changes.

[@TheMrseanster67]

Fuck the casuals, this is a milsim not a some focused fps like squad. I don’t want to sound like a dick but it’s a stupid take to say the game should be “more friendly”. It’s like saying they should simplify a flight simulator so it’s more appealing to casuals, like guys the point of sims IS TO BE COMPLEX. If you want something easy go play squad or sandstorm.

[@yutuniopati]

@@parawill7074 Arma movement are absloutly unrealistic and destroy the game feeling. It was okay 10 year ago with Arma 2 but not today. Wanting realistic movement doesn't make you a casual...

[@parawill7074]

@@yutuniopati Um, I didn't say anything about the animations.

[@yutuniopati]

@@parawill7074 OP did and you responded to him...

[@sigmundboguslavovich6411]

Really hyped for this! I might be in minority, but I would definitely sacrifice HD animations and High Res textures just to have a solid performance. So many epic missions had to be scaled down in A3... Because no matter what, playing a game at less then 30 FPS is not fun.

[@vritngh]

This completely caught me by suprise, I knew ArmA reforger was leaked and in devolpment for a while, but I didn't expect it to drop so suddenly, I cannot wait to experience this, while I know it isn't ArmA 4, it looks like the first step foward in the future of this series we all love.

[@powering__4062]

I've always been on the fence about getting Arma 3 as it didn't seem very accessible, but Arma Reforger looks like it'll be a lot more accessible to new players.

[@Citizenoflite]

It brings back memories of the original but now a hundred times better. I played Flashpoint with my sons when they were little. I just sent them a link to your video.

[@Brendon_Shepherd]

Thanks for the video and welcome back to youtube. I have wishlisted this for the future so ill see how it pans out. Would love to see a vid on the new sandstorm update if you have time and a 2042 season 1 video for the future.

[@lgjosh2481]

Can't wait till everything is much more refined and there's improved features with lots of mods. With wonderful graphics and performance too.

[@elchnap]

im glad that ur are back m8 !!!... I'm so excited about your new content

[@Pippin421]

Awesome vid! First one I see from you but you made a good review. Cant wait to see more Arma Reforger videos from you. Keep on doing what you do!

[@aTalkingKoala8294]

I'm new to bohemian games, just started playing DayZ this year. I'm absolutely thrilled to try this one out soon, when time permits

[@frejaforrest795]

Thanks for such an in depth look at it. I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews, but I really want to get my teeth into it after so many years of playing all the ARMA series. Subscribed, fingers crossed :)

[@turkishjedi2195]

This excites me greatly. I've played a lot of arma 3 since I got a pc in 2016, and its one of my favorite games. Arma 3 minus clunkiness + other next gen improvements seems god tier

[@thomas.deliot]

Can't find any info anywhere about the max player count for a multiplayer Conflict game on the whole island ? Seems like it would need hundreds and hundreds to fill the map up

[@cpt-cheese3489]

For console it's most likely 64 and pc, 120?

[@stevenbond2891]

Looks great. Can't wait to get my hands on it to give it a try. Being I am a player that has gone though every iteration of the ARMA and Operation Flashpoint franchise, I can't see that this one not being another great installment. Even if it is a feeler for the upcoming ARMA4. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@l3joint]

Very excited to play some modern type stuff when the game gets going.

[@peterbassett55]

Looking forward to trying this one out very soon, fingers crossed 🤞

[@gageharrison708]

The cold war scenario has always interested me! really cool to see an Arma game based around it, I've had my eyes on '83, but Arma Reforger seems like it could hit that "cold War" feeling that I'd like in a modern game.

[@zcoosa1648]

I've never played Arma but the cold war theme had me sold immediately. Problem is I can only enjoy about 10 minutes in a server before I lose connection or the game crashes.

[@jeremieh5009]

The Cold War theme always keeps me coming back to the first game

[@ResidentPandaz1234]

I'm really excited about what this has to offer as a preview for Arma 4. I became a fan of the Arma series after getting into the Dayz mod back in the day. A lot of the new features are stuff they have are taken straight from the Standalone version of Dayz, which is one of my favorite games of all time. With the new changes the next Arma has potential to be absolutely fantastic.

[@Winalot]

i hope dayz devs got their hands on the tools a long time ago and we will get dayz reforge version by surprise soon

[@LukOrLux]

Thanks for the infos. (btw still havin a lot of fun playing direct action with my friends)

[@Ruggada]

Super cool. Might be a nice break from tarkov PTSD lol

[@raymondkeenan9483]

Love the OFP look to it. Some real nostalgia feels.

[@Kreebss]

Ive been watching for arma 4 for what feels like so long now the fact that it’s been teased almost feels surreal

[@baxxa]

Can't wait for the rtx 4000 series to drop so we can play it with more than 60fps.

[@thomas.deliot]

Bro finally a new video ! Subbed after your honest and interesting review of BF2042

[@nathanihnen8439]

What a surprise! I had no idea this was coming out today! Looks pretty good even if it is just a stepping stone for things to come. Thanks for the review

[@enthusiasticgmgaming4165]

This looks nice!! Awesome vid mate!

[@buttergolem8584]

It's like Battlefield 1943 where they tested the engine for Bad Company 2. Reforger is that and more, with the ability for devs to create mods and content for this and Arma 4.

[@charlestrepanier233]

I can already hear my gaming laptop overheat. Cant wait to see this game and Arma 4

[@NathanChisholm041]

Noice! Just bought it on Steam The Early Edition for $39.95 AUD so fingers crossed they continue to update new content as promised!

[@michalk2072]

Thanks for the preview👍

[@Wings_of_foam]

This game made me fall in love with Arma again. Reminds me of Operation Flashpoint.

[@GroovySoldier]

Reforger has great potential I'm anxious to know what they're cooking up till the end of support.

[@V33K5]

That inventory layout looks so much more practical.

[@TheTomaszF]

Great Job - a lot of details and comparison

[@matk4731]

It looks cool can’t wait to give it a go. I hope there isn’t any cross play PC/console. No campaign that’s disappointing. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@Themistocles30]

God I hope there is no crossplay for PC/console. Would be the worst thing ever.

[@kiyoshi_xx]

kindve seems like squad, my friends all have it. don't have the money currently but i have came to the conclusion when i played it at my buddy's house. with the game master seems really cooler differentiating from arma 3 zeus. a lot easier without the complication that arma 3 brings. seems like a beautiful game to contribute to the effort of arma 4. hoping that my crappy computer that struggles to run arma 3 on 30 fps can run this game better. seems like the engine is making it run smoother thankfully, i'm excited with what it could bring to the future of arma games !

[@beexewallin5397]

This launch was a total surprise but im all for it. Even if its kinda like a playtest seeing how it looks is making me excited for the future of arma

[@kkyle132]

I’m excited to give this a try but not for a few weeks till payday. Definitely hyped for a new generation of Arma but time will tell how this shapes up :)

[@VIctorcerezini11]

I can't believe we are finally getting an Arma game with decent performance, I hope Arma 4 runs just as well.

[@hazegraystudios]

damn, this looks like it would be fun just to load up and run around in that environment. I also think this smaller scale 'level set' concept edition makes a ton of sense. Let the community see where this is going, and make sure you have a solid foundation before committing massive resources to building it out fully.

[@cpt-cheese3489]

Was really enjoying the hell let loose update on Xbox when my discord erupts with this news, good day to say the least

[@Ethan-ic5yq]

This looks amazing thanks for the review! Love the content

[@macmoholic6283]

So happy Bohemia is working on this! And seems they’re taking a great approach to user feedback.

[@hajime_uchiha404]

What I would like to see is more Naval stuff from Arma be really cool if you could get support from a Destroyer that's controlled by Players

[@c2deatley]

Great video man, excited for this new step in Arma's game line

[@mkgroove]

cant wait to try this out ive played arma 3 for years and this looks amazing and smooth ghpx ... enfusion maybe the future

[@zakaryperrin7126]

It’s been a long time coming! I’m so excited for what they bring to the table with Zeus!

[@juuuxie2631]

So so so excited for this new addition!!! Can't wait to see what the community does with it, let alone the future ARMA 4

[@adamwhite202]

Halo mod , zombie, etc good days to be alive pro this is future of gaming

[@PanSoup]

Entering the comp, new sub!

[@winterfox5]

Im just excited to see new ARMA related things in general, cool stuff

[@dlugsch]

I think it's cool to have the cold war 80s setting for this spin off game, but I am really hoping ARMA 4 is a modern day setting

[@oslzisz5222]

Been a long time coming! So excited for the new engine!

[@iluvmyar15]

Love the video bro. Keep up the great work.

[@erictheraccoon]

yuh yuh yuh

[@BG-Skech]

As a fan of ARMA series ! I like the idea of Arma Reforger , even if its feel more like "tech demo" and not a full Arma game. Why i like , what i seen its simple ! Better performance than Arma 3 .. New tools to use for modding ... a PvP Focus test ... so have hudge potential! Also its cool for the modders to use Work Bench and prepare for Arma 4 one day their mods! Supporting Bohemia in this jorney and provide constructive feedback its good to do , if we want a ARMA 4 in the shape we will love to play it! So Reforger is must buy for fans even if its not a "full" Arma game! Unfortunatly some of us cant buy it yet! So thx for the Givaway oportunity! Good luck to Everyone!

[@poggingmilk9452]

I really really love this game on first sight, even tho i havent played any arma game before

[@TheRaptor0101]

A genuine question. I remember purchasin' Arma 3 but refundin' due to just how low frames I could get even with low settin's. I figured that if that is how it ran with very few things goin' on (in tutorial) I wouldn't be able to enjoy the experience without bakin' my potato. Now, I can run BF 1, Battlefront 2 (ea's) and similar ones at medium with no drops. Is this Arma Reforger similar to those games or will I still need to get a NASA rig to play smoothly?

[@jacobdoughty3528]

Even with a nasa computer arma 3 runs terribly due to only using a single CPU core 😅 I'm getting steady frames on refoger though 90+ FPS in firefights compared to like 20 in big firefights on A3.

[@joelthorstensson2772]

Absolutely based of Bohemia to try something new, so excited for what the future holds!

[@pompeylado]

i actually can't wait. i Doubt il try the reforger just incase it hurts my soul.

[@Recru1tas]

As a lot of people in the community say it: we can bear the lack of assets as long as there is a mission editor. And there is none(well, workbench, but it is not the same.). Even not Eden, but old 2d editor from OFP would do. Still thinking if I should buy this one. As the one who played since the beggining of the series I feel nostalgic towards Everon, but 30€ is a bit much for game with 2 game modes and no SP content or atleast means to create SP content ourselves. On the other hand it would be nice to support BI while they go towards ARMA 4

[@TheRnarron]

Damn, it's about time!

[@mangored209]

Been an arma fan since childhood, it's been a long run

[@christopherwilliams6049]

Can't wait to see some reforged direct action 😁

[@SolidBlueBlocks]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@nassershady8296]

Does anyone else have details on objects pop in when eye zooming ?

[@masterman3178]

I just don’t understand. I’m good with having multiplayer but will we get community made single player missions? I know it has a mission editor “game master” but can people upload their missions for the community?

[@ZERO25811]

I was surprised that it suddenly released.

[@CringleBerry415]

I really love Arma 3 and I got such a shock when Arma Reforger came out

[@markemerson4440]

I’ve never played arms before but recently got into mil sims. Looking forward to arma 4 since it’ll be my first unless I end up playing this.

[@Gunter_Severloh]

The name Reforger itself is an acronym and was an actual historical name derived from the exercise which started in 1967. Reforger ---> return of forces to Germany The setting of AR for our Arma here is based on the Cold War time period between the USA and the Soviet Union. More info on what reforger is historically en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Reforger

[@yigolaski08]

6:10 YES YES YES FINALLY THEY HAVE DONE IT !!!! Next thing we need is the similar mechanic to the static weapons and more historically accurate ammo and supply crates , maybe some inventory system for the bases , like Ace 3 medical system but simpler . Maybe same system in Foxhole game that a gamemode we will produce our own guns , ammo , fuel , and vehicles as much as we produced , we can bring to the frontline . Even maybe some KSS mod From arma 3 . But with animations . And with all of this , Enfusion's stability will goddamn rock it . Just think a Liberation mode from arma 3 in Reforged and Arma 4 . If that happens , arma is gonna be the damn god of her tier .

[@j.s.t.7579]

Honestly this is how AAA studios should be doing game releases. Getting a good pre-release to test out some features and work out some bugs before dropping the final product on the masses.

[@fonstastic7207]

Just watching this... the new engine is doing wonders!

[@gjumper9871]

This looks awesome. Especially the animations and the setting. However, I am not for having 2 weapons at the same time, this isn't COD or Battlefield.

[@johannstrydom4450]

I just really want an Arma Reforged key. Love your arma 3 mods!

[@BrunoRibeiro-mo1wt]

It seems to be amazing, I got hyped!

[@b1battledroid144]

So Much memories seeing the Map Everon i can't wait play this game

[@frantsel5711]

Is arma now catching up with dayz or what is this? Most features are available in dayz

[@hariaxarrisaf1492]

What about body control? I mean the number of ositions we had in arma3. Does them exist, or been removed from gameplay? The game looks nice. It seems Bohemia goes the way of Blizzard: "there is a mod, lets build it in to original".

[@QriminalQuirke]

It makes sense for Bohemia to do another limited launch a lá Arma 3. Fond memories of playing TDM in Agia Marina. Hoping to the powers that be that the AI pathing is fixed, thats my only issue as a predominantly single player enjoyer (bartending in the UK is not conducive to joining an arma unit). Would love one of those steam keys, bro.

[@z-eight6274]

Just found out about this! Can’t wait to give it a go

[@Szykindaead]

Awesome .. been waiting for arma 4 to seriously game again

[@uwu_entetiger]

Reforger looks like a fresh game

[@OneShotKilla_]

This looks so cool. I can't wait to play this.

[@Riptide572]

Why are we not getting Arma 4 right now? Oh well. New Zeus looks kinda cool. Thanks for the review.

[@BMD19840]

I never played Arma 3 before but I bought this game and man, I love it

[@BigBoss-xd2rz]

I wonder if Reforger will continue to develop and become it's own game instead of just a preview game for Arma 4.

[@michaelsanderson2913]

Would love to try this bad boy. Been smashing warlords lately n back in the arma craze.

[@alishanjones7095]

I cant wait to see some helicopter gameplay soon, hopefully 😩😩

[@hosschaos676]

looks pretty good, I'm excited to see if it actually runs better than arma 3 in some of the big multiplayer cases and if the community is still able to bring forward the same level of content, shame there's no eden editor.

[@furu2666]

Yooo here for the give away , I'm really excited for this game

[@sebastianasaro6254]

I wonder why they would not add a editor in the new game

[@boy.with.a.million_dreams9498]

Uh guys, I can't enter vehicles wth?! Any idea how to fix it?

[@dredgie9367]

I think this is a great way to help develop everything for the next main game, having modders getting ahold of the tools early will hopefully mean that the tools once ARMA 4 come out they are super refined. Same for the engine on the dev side, hopefully they can learn a lot about the engine and make it a much better performing game (we all know about ARMA 3 issues). Will be interesting to see how quick updates are pushed out not only for content but for bugs and issues. Def one to keep an eye on for going forward.

[@Krappadizzle]

Can't wait to try this out!

[@hulkanarchy5276]

What a long wait :X
