Hey Drewski, is this only multiplayer atm? What modes are there please?

For someone who's been playing ARMA for the past 8 years, it's a very brilliant reconstruction of the franchise. Arma 4 is going to be B R E A T H T A K I NG .

@@OffensiveNut. I think he means sub-stances like he was talking about in the video. I laughed so hard when I read your comment before I watched the video because I thought the same way you did

@@Ted300BlkOut Read the reviews and get mad like I did lmao. People do not understand what it is first of all, but second they don't understand what is possible giving us access to this engine. If we get modding support this is already a finished game either by BI or by the community. In my eyes Arma 3 was never finished by BI, but the community came together to make Arma 3 what it is today. Same with Arma 2 actually. I'm so hyped for this. I've never bought any game day 1 before, but this.... this is different.

I wonder how the mod menus are going to work on consoles but this is a upstart to arma 3

Going to miss those accidental fender benders that make the Humvee explode. 💥

@@Yuxim how about AI pathing in vehicles? Keep running into the same wall over and over again lmao. I'd be playing arma commander mod on A3 and they do that sometimes.

Or airdropping a humvee with a helicopter under the map

arma is the big milsim

@@21babydew So are Post Scriptum, Squad, and a few more. And if you are going to say that there is a lot more than the fighting involved in arma and that classifies it as a Milsim I am also gonna introduce you to the War-Sim Foxhole. You mine, refine, build and ship the weapons you use to kill the enemy thus it would rank higer in that regard.

@@MannyXVIII I wouldn't class foxhole as a mil sim as much as a war sim but yes I've played them all and ... squad is easily my favorite. However if it wasn't for arma/project reality we wouldn't have these games more then likely and when I think of a milsim I think arma as do most people I beleive because until dayz came out and sort of made arma 2 explode in popularity. The milsim genre was kinda dead it was all first person shooters or old outdated game id argue without dayz we wouldn't of had what we got with arma 3.

@@MannyXVIII PS has 7 devs... lmao big mil sim

RO2 still did it the best

So the movement is better and more fluid?

@@Medicbobs it is as smooth as butter bro. Completely different than 3.

@@Godlyspameater I love it so far. Just need more stuff to loot around the map and things to do.

I just saw it on the Xbox store yesterday. Finally an Arma game for consoles 😭

Bro what it looks like shit compared to battlefield 4 an 11 year old game lol I honestly cannot believe where we are at with today's gaming, it's like everybody has jumped to a timeline of shitty games and music.

I also want to see vehicles be fully simulated. Simple things like having to use a parking brake, full manual driving etc.

@@stewartmoir9464 that would suck ass

%100, love the idea. At the moment it really is just a test bed game for the new engine, not a replacement for Arma III yet.

What's cool as that as soon as the game was put on Steam the modders were working on making mods

I hope we'll get modern 4th generation warfare reflecting the world today instead for ArmA 4. I've seen enough ERDL camo, M16's and plain AK-74's, I wanna see guerrillas wearing multicam using a crazy variety of weaponry from their arms suppliers fighting an equally varied state. Syrian Arab Army with support from the Ruskies and loyalists fighting Daesh and other militia. Ukrainian pro-Russian militia, the Russian army, wagner PMC, chechens fighting the extremely varied Ukrainian military and their foreign mercenaries. ArmA 3 kinda tried this with the east wind campaign but the factions were boring as were their equipment and the missions were extremely linear. I feel no other game has even attempted to reflect the current state of warfare properly.

 hopefully your wishes would be granted. If not modders can convert the whole game into that.

It’s gonna be a huge pile of fucking dog shit if I keep catering to the console community

Trees LODs switching is quite noticeable though, but probably not that much during the actual gameplay.

@@jendabekCZ the major geographical & architectural elements are what matter most to me when it comes to LOD switching configs. They seem to be pretty mint in this little preview & it gets me excited to see that. Especially since this is right off the rip, so we will get 5-10 years of development improving it from where its at right now.

I wish I did not see the lods changing... UE5's Nanite tech looks therefore better to me.

The lod switching is noticeable but it's stupidly fast.

How he can have thath type of graphics in this game?

It doesnt have one and probably never will, at least officially. On the other hand, BIS will probably give the tools and support for a bunch of talented modders to remake the original Cold War Crisis campaign, just like they did for Arma 1, 2 and 3.

That Resistance Camo...hell yeah.

@@TheMaestro116 I've seen screenshots of the enfusion tools which I would assume will be released with reforger at some point in order to get us familiar with the new tools. They do look similar to dayz tools as I'd expect. Edit: We already have access to Enfusion Workbench..... You know what that means

@@AriesLR_ tools are already released on steam

I really hope that they stay un a 80ish vibes for weapon and scenario, it so much better. and Being a trooper, not directly a group leader and etc...

Thank god they didn't remove that. One of my favourite aspects of Arma, and greatly underused by other players much to my annoyance, but hey, not everyone wants to live longer or shoot better. Also *Sub-stances :p I don't think "substances" are in the game...

@@SebHaarfagre i avoid so so so much deaths in King of The Hill using it,urban combat demand sub-instances.

@@italopedro2232 Hell yeah! :D

haha I love how tight of a community this game has

amen, probably the most frustrating thing about Arma 3 were the FPS drops in any engagement with more than two weapons firing at once

This... is why I quit playing.

computer reaches in and takes away fos

I hope miniguns have a realistic firerate instead of 5 ammo taken for 1 bullet shot. It's a minigun, not an LMG.

Ngl, spontaneous combustion was pretty funny sometimes

* tank hits fence * . . . * blows up*

That alone is probably the single biggest improvement, followed closely by performance. The fact that the textures, shading, and lighting are so improved *and it still runs better than 3* is... well I guess not that surprising. We all knew that.

@@Acepilot235 Tank hits enemy infantry, flies 10 miles.

I haven't seen any vehicles fly into the sky because they hit a peble in reforger yet I have seen a few trucks fly high in the sky like stealth bombers, and cars flipping a little too easy Overall the physics are quite nice, even doors function properly now it's insane!

i think most of them dont understand what this game is at the moment. For me its just a test demo for the new engine.

@@Furthi I was watching Bigfry before and his community seemed really lost.

Never played the past games but just bought this ! Super excited for what's to come with future updates !

@@VindensSaga they are with every game pretty much

@@FunkyCold. probably stuff that should be in the game for free that you have to buy as DLC.

It will get better!

For free though? 30 is a little pricey...I'm skeptical about pulling the trigger.

That is true. Also DayZ ist a great game today. As Drew points out, it took some time to get to this state. But think about what developing status DayZ was in, when it launched vs Arma Reforger. I think Reforger is way ahead at this point and may develop faster than DayZ did.

@@Medicbobs if you're not interested in checking out the engine, don't bother buying it. Keep in mind they also included a built-in mod creator, so within a small amount of time people are gonna start creating mods for this

@@jamega4000 I ended up pulling the trigger. Huge modern and I'm getting better with unreal engine so I think I'm going to try to make some mods once I get used to the engine more.

sure

@@Quantum-Bullet ? You must be new here.

@@Acepilot235 didn’t check out this channel for years, got rather boring.

I have been playing arma for years and i hyperventilate when i saw this game today

@@dario9793 Me too!

Arma has never taken place in a war on terror setting, Arma 3 for example was on a fictional island with a fictional nation and NATO interference

can you run crysis? lol

​@@generikusername Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead?

@@generikusername I wasn't referring to the Arma serie, but to the FPS genre overall. But futuristic Arma3 wasn't atmospheric as well, general emphasis on realism and fictional made up equipment wasn't a good synergy.

the theme of wester war in desert is so overused, why is there no game with the war in the arctic with insane sniper rifles, subs, thermal goggles, oil rigs, oil pipes, survival elements, snow mobiles with mounted MGs, cool snow building mechanics, concealment, satellite image recon, electronic warfare, etc.

same

same here, 95% of my hours spent alone in eden editor. Never played online, other 5% is the campaigns and downloaded scenarios

@Hahaha BenisXDD Yup, I was one of them man, so fucking good man. Red River was great too imo

Flashpoint amazed me when I was younger and multiplayer was so fun. My first “Arma” in a sense of scale and modern combat

Agreed. One of the best games of all times.

If consoles can handle it I’m sure your pc will brother 🙏🏻

It runs on the Series S and will therefore, almost definitely run on your PC as long as it's somewhat modern.

@@Lofi.z34 I play ARMA3 my brother.

If your pc runs arma 3 I would guess it runs this too XD that shit is heavy.

@@Lofi.z34 don't forget that this is a test bed and that they'll be working on things. It's by no means done, small errors in animations shouldn't really be harped on at this time.

Its only Arma 3.5 :( They should give a discount to Arma 4 later then, because it will be abandoned after the Arma 4 release (mostly)

@@ShadowGhostHD They def won't give a discount to Arma 4 as it will probably have heaps load more content than this, but Reforged will probably go dirt cheap

@@henrylevoyer9962 30€ is not cheap 🙃

@@henrylevoyer9962 I dont understand the purpose behindnit IF you are not a modder.

@@ShadowGhostHD I think the whole idea of Reforged was them to see what the modders can do and at the same time test how the mods work. So they could maybe even use them in arma 4 i think? So i guess that is a fair point. At least for now that there is not so much mods. They just gave a new platform for modders which I wont complain :D just waiting for the 4th.

@Muney Jordan is a pro do you even know what it means to create a fucking game engine from the ground up?

@Muney Jordan is a pro I've read that they plan to support Reforger for 12 months. This is like a playtest for the engine that will be used for Arma 4. I'd expect Arma 4 in 2023/2024.

@Muney Jordan is a pro Well reforger is a demo for arma4 technically speaking do i think it will take a year maybe 2 yea but def not 5 to 6 years

@@RougePOV 2-3 they need to improve graphics add a lot more content and the engine overall

@@justaguy906 improve on the insane graphics of arma reforger to me it looks insanely good way better than the other armas way higher quality and the content for arma reforger is coming in 3 separate big updates they still have some work to do fixing certain stuff but it very well could become a full game and the infusion engine with its capabilities will make the space of arma a hell of a lot better considering its current optimizations it supposedly runs better than arma3 from operator drew's words i feal they wont need 3 but who knows

@@rawhide1337 "NEGATIVE"

It literally looks like an average game from 2017. Battlefield 1 looks better and its 6 years old. Graphics isnt the selling point here

hopefully arma 4 won't be another s fantasy game like arma 3 and will have more basis in reality. they should have a chechnya campaign or a modern syria or even iraq campaign just to change things up

@@cagneybillingsley2165 All possible through mods in time :D

im sure theyll add more as time goes on. i gaurentee this is their test bed for arma 4

honestly better than releasing a beta 3 months until launch then releasing a shit game. This is so much better

@@thegrossmansmx It is a test bed

Since it's likely any mod made for Refroger will work on Arma 4 (same engine), I'm wondering if we'll see a split community when Arma 4 comes out. Will Arma 4 bring enough benefits over Reforger (not today's reforger, but Reforger after a year of updates) to make Arma 4 worth the purchase?

Or maybe you can wait till arma 4 is released this game is a test bed for arma 4

Same here hopefully this runs pretty well on consoles

@@lordfarquaad1319 I downloaded the free trial and I play on a Series X. It gets up to 60fps but it's not smooth. Feels like a very, VERY refined and fixed up DayZ (yes, I know DayZ came from Arma) if you've played that on Console. Really excited to see what comes to this title.

@@theoutsider675 I mean I'll take 60fps all day but can't wait to see wht it has to offer

I agree and this is pretty much what I expected with reforger. I’m sure as time goes on they will add a good amount of new assets and features to this game and it will end up being a solid game that competes with squad and sandstorm. My only worry though is that arma 4 ends up being like this and dayz and that we see a total departure from the milsim sandbox games that previous titles have delivered on. I also hope that arma 4 is pc only.

If they wanted Reforger to be the next big title in the series im pretty sure we would've seen a much bigger PR/advertising campaign before it released. the most I knew about this project were some so/so leaks and a few screenshots from bohemia. I had absolutely zero idea that this would drop today.

Maybe they were expecting an actual Arma 4 with complete resources like helis, tanks, more infantry/special forces/ other units. But they should listen to what the dev in Bohemia said, "It's not Arma 4, not yet. It's reforger."

@@mig-25foxbat64 yes it's a demo to test there new engine, pretty sure Arma 4 will be big

@@mig-25foxbat64 Wrong. They expected more of a realistic sim like experience. Ngl the gameplay and movement looks more like pubg Mobile. Nothing wrong with that since it can be more appealing to a more casual player base but it isn't what Arma is supposed to look like.

call me when arma lets me shoot out of vehicles windows realistically.

yea but those real huge Arma fans like me would buy it to test out the new features for the new upcoming Arma 4

I'm guessing they'll add most if not all the features in Arma 3 back for 4. The Ragdolls when you shot someone standing still and they just folded in half were kinda jank but any other situation I agree they were neat

the ragdolls were terrible in ArmA 3. it's a mix between ragdolls and animations now.

I'd take Arma 2 animations over the fucked Arma 3 ragdoll anyday. Was not satisfying at all to kill someone in Arma 3

@@CJmontage101If you noticed, i actually agree that vanilla A3 ragdolls were awful, i clearly state that modded ragdoll physics that built off the base game and got rid of most of the jank are what made them so good in the end. I think they should add it to Reforger too in an original way.

Its a preview/Work training/ Modding community headstart for Arma 4, by the time it comes around the Nodding community which makes Arma what it is will be more than ready to get going

@@patcho7518 arma 4 will not be soon at all. It will not come until at least 2024, more realistically 2025.

@@patcho7518 I'm running a 1660 ti and I'm using what the game defaulted me to, which is everything on High and Ultra except for 3 or 4 settings on Medium, and I'm running at a constant 60 FPS and above.

@@DCGMatthew1 what is ur set up?? ARMA is a CPU intensive game, just mentioning ur GPU is ridiculous..

@@ThMindFdr Since most of the people I've talked to recently only wanted to know my GPU, it slipped my mind. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and 16 GB of RAM. They're two 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz.

I woukd get it but 30 bucks is a little too much for basically a glorified engine demo, I'll probably buy arma 4 though and I must say that this looks great. I feel like we're in the same boat.

OFP DR was pretty good. AI was cheap at sometimes, but they did have pretty good user made scenarios. Did you ever play one of the zombie mods or surviving endless waves of enemies? OFP DR is not as good as OFP CWC, but it was darn good

This is not a new Arma game, as been said and painfully pinpointed out several times, by all sides... This is an engine demo basically, from the same company.

Yes but bad graphics for 2022 games

It’s the engine DayZ switched into that made the game take so long back in like 2017, and it’s super moddable. Workshop support eyc

Mod support?

@@bongbing4431 yes it was confirmed xbox is getting mod support like on fo4 and skyrim

@@Unknown_Genius We often forget that when Arma 3 came out, it was REALLY good for the time. The had advanced lighting, great graphics and amazing gameplay. But the problem is people are comparing a 9 year old game to modern games and saying "Arma is bad". It's not bad, it was a industry leader at the time (if you included the scale of it). No other game at the time could match Arma 3. Today, however, there's much better looking games. Reforge is just the start taste of Arma 4 which will likely lead the industry again.

@@Unknown_Genius The millions of views and thousands of positive comments on videos showing off Arma 3 for the first time beg to differ. People were very excited for the game and very impressed with the graphics. You can go look for yourself at the comments and replies on those videos and various articles from 9 years ago when Arma 3 came out. In fact you are kind of proving my point in a way, you are kind of looking at it from today's standards, not comparing to 9 years ago standards.

@@Unknown_Genius You seem to be arguing against a point I didn't bring up. I was also there when Arma 3 launched. And I was there when Arma 2 launched. And I was there when Operation Flashpoint launched. Every Arma game is well known to be bare bones at release and later on becomes more full of content when mods arrive (I suppose Operation Flashpoint was the exception, since it wasn't a game made for mods). I never said otherwise, but this seems to be the point you are arguing for some reason. Basically, people didn't switch back to Arma 2 because of graphics, they switched because of content/mods. And when the mods on Arma 3 started appearing more and more people stuck with Arma 3. But that wasn't the only reason, the game industry was also still revealing on the DayZ mod (which was a massive hit) which came out about a year before Arma 3 launched (and spawned tons of other amazing mods on Arma 2 right before Arma 3 launched), further keeping people on Arma 2 instead of Arma 3. But the graphics were not the reason people switched back to Arma 2. The graphics in Arma 3 were far superior to Arma 2 and again, if you look at the thousands of comments, reviews, replies, etc on videos, articles, steam, for when Arma 3 launched you can clearly see that sentiment repeated there. Steam itself is showing "overwhelming positive" review score on Arma 3 in the months following it's launch. Look at the reviews themselves and they praise tons of features/graphics/physics improvement with Arma 3 vs Arma 2.

I love you too

No he loves me. Not you.

Dayz stand-alone was used to build the enfusion engine used in Reforger. Arma 4 will use improvements to engine from reforger

Sadly modding Reforger isn't as simple and fast as what modding A3 was. This time we're not going to see the same scripting & mission making scene we're used to see. :/

@@issahumps i know, dont get your point tho

@@spunFIN it took a lot of time for Arma 3 to become a great game, i dont really mind waiting for A4 to come out, and as Reforger is just a way for modders to get their hands on the engine, i dont see a reason for me to buy it, unless as i said, they fix those things i dont like
