Working AI should be the number one priority if they want to attract larger audiences for their title.
As someone who has yet to get the game, YES. 🙌🙌
Coming from an arma 3 unit that does solely PvE events, yes, we definitely need ai that works GREAT.
The AI are pretty good now - they manoeuver - out flank, heal each other etc. They are adding vehicle driving and pilotting to the AI skill set at the moment.
@@RickOShay👍 nice
I noticed when they are suppressed, they use their own binoculars to spot you and start to perform flanking maneuvers against you.
Of all the game developers out there - Bohemia has one of the best track records when it comes to delivering on their promises and feature set. Reforger update v1 has added some great new features - the main ones being helicopters, physicalized inventory and dynamic base building - the game is stable now that it's out of beta.
Sure there are a few rough edges that need to be refined but nothing game-breaking.
Reforger is great fun and definitely worth getting - and it helps support BIS while we wait for Arma4.
With the new 1.0 xbox release iv been playing on the series s, and i was in a 32man server yesterday for almost 4 hours, carrying out missions with the team. Honestly this is the most multiplayer fun i have had in a long time. Controls are weird for the xbox but once you learn its a fun game.
Yeah it’s easily one of the best games on Xbox right now, and helis being added (with good Xbox controls) means it’s only getting better
I completely agree with the "disappointment 2.0" statement, if BI were to launch 1.0 and arma veterans find that there is little to no AI improvement it will be another major flop, they should keep it in the oven a tad bit longer 👍
Lets keep it mind arma reforger is not meant to be a full game, its a transition/ test game for arma 4 and the new engine
Fot zhe price of a full game without enough warning, that you are buying just ticket to be alpha tester of Arma4?
I like REFORGER for what it is... And I like that colad war era, so if reforger would die out, it would be a pitty
Not enough warnings? It's literally in every text about reforger. If you are able to read then it's enough@@liborvesely2331
Well it should be a full game a hub even of some sort , this is the first arma game on console we have so many historical era combat but belarely any modern combat why are they so hell bent on strictly ww1 and 2 and cold war olay that is fine but give us something else for those that want to beable to play in a more moder setting with actual modern objectives its doable hell itd be doable for a full controller layout for arma 3 but they just choose to BS their way throughout leaving controller players to try and figure out a setup themselves which is fine but we donelt deserve to be excluded , if theyd add a modern combat section to reforger and perhaps 2 maps one middle eastern for FIA home enviroment and something perhaps even a soviet style map and some equipment and weapons and modern factions boom there ya go release it overall as a full game because WE PAID FOR IT THATS WHY ! and no the mods dont work properly half the time on console and PC gets favored once again 😬🤔🤬🤬🤬🤬
From my conversations with the devs, they do appear to be treating this as its own full game - even though it's also true its the foundation for Arma 4.
@@SirIronbeardI agree I think they should treat this game like its own
for someone new to arma reforger is great and im having a blast.
mods instead of dlcs are a great addition to switch up your gameplay easy and free of cost. And the community is just awesome glad i made it to arma finally haha
Are you Xbox or PC?
@@SirIronbeard PC
It might seem silly but I'm most stumped about the mention of fuel nozzles being removed. It was now implemented as a really basic action I wouldn't have expected from Bohemia, with no animation or anything. It's the odd one out when you look at all the other things that have been improved in Reforger with proper animations and such compared to Arma 3. It's not a big deal though, just a minor detail I was looking forward to. Great video!
I know, right? Very odd indeed.
There will be a mod for everything, eventually...
I was quite disappointed by this as well, I thought we would get some cool tube animations/physics and a physical pump nozzle we can use, the current system in experimental I would personally consider as a placeholder that is incompatible with the rest of the game
@@ethanmckinnell8261 Priorities Change and this was meant to be a 12 Month project which they need to meet that deadline everything you see developed was always subject to change yes its sad to see features go but everything here is being developed to help train developers on the Enfusion engine, develope the engine future and once this is done they will take everything they have learnt and developed and use that to help lay the foundations of Arma 4.
Some features may return but sometimes simplicity is better then complexity and Bohemia knows Modders have the ability to take what they develop further and sometimes even better.
@@coreycooper4597 I agree that simplicity is more important than looks right now, but not having those cool systems in place is still a bummer, but it is what it is I guess
Reforger is a game I'm happy for it to take its time because I know it's using stuff to help develop arma4
thanks for your update
I really want a foxhole building system
that actually digs into the ground, flatbed style with the bottom slightly leaning to 1 side so in the rain a puddle will start forming on 1 side before filling up the foxhole with water depending on how heavy the rain is
increase this mechanic with the ability to create a makeshift pillbox as well that can connect onto the foxholes
also a medium and large foxholes in octagon and square forms so we can set up mortar fire from safety
it would be such a vast system to take on but the immersion factor of the game would go thru the roof
I think it would put every other ip in its field back into development if they did it right
reforgers optimization right now is crazy good
This could be cool
this looks pretty good for a hasty foxhole system
czcams.com/video/RRo49qKVq40/video.html
Kinda sucks that ai won't be able to do supply runs. Hopefully I can task ai to follow me in multiple trucks or something.
I guess it will be tedious, but moddable
Your correct about how playstation handles early access games, we didn't get Dayz until it left early access. Hopefully opening the door to playstation will help with the player count and allow more people to play, and give feed back
I've also heard that Sony can be strict with modding, which they might have other issues with Reforgers workshop.
Look it's only 40 dollars. That'd a steak dinner. I will pay it again if it means arma 4 will be developed in full. Gosh I hope they add some kind of destructible system for their buildings and the landscape. Arma 3 was 9/10 for me but it just was missing so much eye candy. I get it, it's a military simulator but no one plays it for solely this. Mods prove that fact.
You had me at steak :)
looking forward to the mortars system
So fucking much pp
Why do I get the feeling you're going to deploy a mortar in a bush on the side of a road? 🤣
If mortars hit like mines.. thats not a bad idea haha @@SirIronbeard
Same!!
I have no problem with them changing the roadmap if this is going to make Arma 4 even better. It would be worse if they were forced into a fixed roadmap that is no longer flexible enough to make Arma 4 what we all hope it will be.
i have been doing my best to avoid hopeium and copeium at all costs through countless games but i admittedly am huffing every last stockpiled ounce of it dreaming that 1.0 means i can finaly play it on my playstation. i just cant wait anymore. lol
That's a good policy to have 👍
What's truly needed is character occlusion. We've had it since ARMA 2. Characters and items lying in the grass in the distance show up just as they do in DayZ. That feels like ARMA 1 not Arma 3.999 beta. Occlusion in Arma 2 and 3 certainly wasn't perfect, but anything is a step up from the full monty so to speak...😅
I just want a deadzone for aiming and building destruction lol, nice vid man !
Ah I remember playing with a deadzone in Arma 3. Was great for slightly lowering my weapon so I could get a better view above the sights. Hope it returns!
@@SirIronbeard yeah well for me it makes switching targets feel better because my whole screen won’t rotate. In Arma 3 you can hold alt and center the screen and it also acted as a quick snap back to first target. I gotta show this it’s hard to explain.
I’m that playboy chopper pilot, pretty cool to see the potential with modded servers along with the roadmap.
Right on! Thanks for flying!
Hey manm thanks for the video, everyday I'm leaning more and more to buying Reforger, so these videos are extremely impactful for me. I think you mentioned some things damn well, like "dissappointment 2.0" moment is spot on.
However, I'd like to say something about audio mix of the video. I think that you should ease off on sidechaining the music to your voice. I feel like the ducking is way to hard and it makes it a tad bit uncomfy to listen to it constantly on headphones/earphones with hard bass. I'd say that making your music quieter would be the way to go. Other than that, splendid video and you earned yourself a sub!
Hey thanks for the feedback, I will keep that in mind.
TRACKIR!!! Really miss getting to use this in Reforger.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but where is the first part of the video from? With the timelapse of all the Arma games?
Arma Reforger is making a comeback, but a slow one.
I really hope they add more cosmetics for all factions , just so that it's with the core gameplay of reforger , and don't have to rely on mods for clothes , tho I know it's not IMPORTANT I hope that it'll be something we get later in the future.
What they should do is make the BT-5 Periscopes work
Hope they fix frames drops on Xbox and wee need 60fps and 4k in hight quality
Another amazing video as usual
Thank you, that means a lot!
very noice ironbeard, see you out there
Not if I see you first! 🙃
@@SirIronbeard 😅
Bringing the game to Playstation would be great 🙇♂️
Does Playstation have any shooters similar to Reforger?
@@SirIronbeard closest we have is DayZ..
Glad to see an upload, keep it up💯
Thank you, sir!
I almost picked it up this weekend, but lack of TrackIR and joystick is a deal breaker in an ArmA title for me.
DayZ 2 let's go Bohemia
When carrying a casualty how do you put them down in PC?
think its control+x if i remember right
I just want rocket pods. I’m a decent pilot, and oftentimes am frustrated with how little I can help my guys on the ground, other than overwatch. Gimme some rockets.
Im so excited for this update, when you think we will get this
Welcome back man!
Thank you, sir :D
I hope when they finally finish and release arma 4 it will be playable on Xbox I'd hate to have the player base be split because there on PC and we can only still play reforger
They will assess an Xbox release for Arma 4 based on how Reforger does. So far it's the Xbox community that has been holding it up since salty veteran arma players don't like sharing and rejected it.
@@SirIronbeardI wouldn’t say it has anything to do with not wanting to share. But games are being held back and hindered when released for console. Look at cyberpunk for example.
Games like arma are made for pc. It wouldn’t be so slowly updated if it was just a pc release.
Awesome video as always
Thank you!
I subscribe because if the subtle brilliance 😂
Seeing so many tiny details that I'd honestly expect in the game originally, like keybindings, marking your map, and VISUAL EFFECTS make me seriously question Bohemia's development plans. Such rudimentary features from all other ARMA games just totally missing? I get that this isn't meant to be the end-all-be-all for Arma but the lack of those features is shocking. Also, I'm cautious about a release on Sony's platforms. They prohibit 3rd-party content from being downloaded which means no mods which add new features, items, scripts, etc. Just tweaks to the existing mechanics only. Much of Reforger is driven by the modding community and it seems almost fruitless to push for a PS5 release.
I'm pretty sure in the video he says some minor things were added with out being on the roadmap. I'm sure those more minor features and others will come at some time.
@@megathicc6367 Im more concerned with the mindset that left these features out to begin with. Even if Reforger is just the go between for Arma 4, they can at least have half a brain to put out a product with the bare minimum features people expect from the brand. Ive been playing since day 1 and its been an absolute fucking pain to try and play an Arma game without features such as marking the damn map.
@@usernameredacted8857 I don't think you understand what I said. Those things are probably coming. This game is in early access. They have it that way so it will be easier to implement those things when the time comes. The game simply isn't finished. It's not a complete game so you can't really expect it to have the features of one
I understand, I just completely disagree. I seriously don't think that's any excuse or frankly even a smart idea for a development team. The game died for quite a while because it was lacking essential features to even make it fun. Now those features are slowly trickling in and people care now. In my mind, there was no reason those things shouldn't have been implemented to begin with. Putting out an "early access" title with absolutely no features just seems like a desperate crowd funding attempt from a AAA game studio. It's lazy and lacks any sort of forethought. The only reason why Reforger is even relevant and didn't disappear on release is because there's no competition. Since there's no competition, Bohemia has absolutely no incentive to put out products that are actually functional on launch since they know people have no other choice but to buy an underdeveloped tech demo. @@megathicc6367
@@usernameredacted8857 it's not finished. How can it have those same features? Also it being early access will help those features come faster and development in general. Early access is genuinely good for developing a game. They are working with completely new engine. They got to build everything from the ground up. That's why those features weren't there to begin with. So they have the game put on early access to help implement things better and get direct feedback from the community. It's not a fundraiser.
I completely understand not allowing a.i to do supply runs. It can be argued supply is one of the most important things to do and if ai could do it then no base would ever be low on supply becaus ai would not deviate from the job ultimately making it terribly grindy to take over bases
Players know supply is important. Everytime I've played I have never seen a supply truck rollout with a full vehicle for support and its astonishing really. Everyone knows what needs to be done but refuses to do it.
Well well well what do we have here a new video!!!!!
Hahaaaaaa! Thought I'd sneak one in before the weekend!
1989 was poor year planning for a war. But they could fix this by simply adding certain things.
As a Russian main- The BTR-70 is okay, but the M60 can cut it down which is cool and kinda realistic. Could we cages? BMPS? Perhaps a UAZ OR Truck with a DSHKA on it?
Could the AI be not be Czechs? Or use russian radios?
Could HEAT actually destroy Huey’s, tired of them tanking 6 Rockets but the MI-8 gets shot down immediately.
Better Destruction mechanics?
Like this all obvious…. But like IRL at this time period America would smash Soviets. So why even set it at this time?
Could’ve done the 50s or 60s.
Map & trail markers, that’s a very DayZ thing, right?
Apparently it's a very Czech thing
OMG Destruction Building..
Did Arma 2 lose live service? Oh BTW im waiting to upgrade my GPU to 8 gig Vram minimum before I buy Arma Reforger because honestly Arma 3 has been a highlight of my life as a gamer it's a relationship more than a game
Is arma reforger worth getting?
Nah. Servers keep crashing and there is little content to play without mods.
If you're interested in being part of shaping the future of the most authentic military sandbox game at more than 30 fps, then absolutely!
I hope arma reforger comes out to ps5
Me too. Does PS5 have anything else like it?
@@SirIronbeard no
Hell let loose is the closest to mil sim that PlayStation has! I have both console SX and PS5 And a pc, and the mil sim on pc is incredible compared to console
Bro said so what’s next after the white… Arma 4?…..
Oh man, i hadnt seen that they changed the roadmap, i put in 1000 hours and took a long break, and wtf they change the roadmap
They mostly moved stuff around to what they think might be features coming sooner vs later - barely anything was removed.
Well, since i´ve been playing Arma/OFP since 2001, i think i might have a slight idea of the Arma franchise. So, with that being said, i really don't like the way BIS is doing things. Reforger is the first Arma Title i am not overly enthusiastic with. It starts with the Title. Reforger? Really? Reforger was an abbreviation for "Return of Forces to Germany", a big exercise to train fast deployment of troops from CONUS to Germany, but there is no Germany in the game. So, why Reforger then? Makes absolutely no sense. Ok, that i could live with. The game itself looks good, and the attention to some of the detail is great, but so much is missing. The "editor" is bullshit, the AI cant be controlled, it feels like it will be streamed directly to MP, while SP is just rudimentary. I am sorry, but i want to control my motley crew of AI. If i want to conquer an island by myself, in SP, i need AI that is able to do supply runs. Right now it does look like Arma in some ways, in most ways it does not feel like Arma at all. We're so far away from Arma in so many ways. I get the whole "community involved development", but still. I never thought i´d give an Arma Title a not so good rating, but here we are.
To my knowledge they never said it was named after that. It's called reforger probably because it's a similar theme to the originals but new. So much is missing because it's still being worked on. It was never meant to replace the old editor. Arma 4 will probably have a actual editor.
Welcome back. Good Video; haven't been able to play for a couple weeks due to covid catching me again, but glad you've got videos to watch while i recover lol.
Thanks, man! Hope covid doesn't keep you down too much longer!
a missing ai commanding and game master save games are the things holding me back from playing
I think GM save games are in now (experimental). Still waiting for AI Commanding too.
Would love to play arma but i have a ps5 so i cant😭
Playstation doesn't do Early Access programs, though some developers still release an early access version on Playstation. If I recall, Bohemia said that for this reason, they won't be releasing Reforger on PS5 until the game is atleast 1.0
@@megamaggotmrh9085 Ok thanks
I think they would love to release on PS5 if they could.
@@SirIronbeard yeah they tweeted that they have plans for a ps5 version
RELEASE ON PS5, BAN EXCLUSIVITY! GIVE SPIDER MAN TO XBOX AND GIVE ARMA TO PLAYSTATION!
You want more hype and more promises that may never happen?
Should I refund Arma Reforger and wait for Arma 4 or keep it?🤔
Need M60 and T-62 tank
Mods for those will pop out at some time.
M60 is already in. Same with a modded T-72.
Is this game worth it on xbox
Does Xbox have anything else like it?
@@SirIronbeard well, insurgency is a lot more fast paced and hell let loose is strictly ww2 so no
Bought the game, downloaded it. Launched it, cool menu. Opened server browser, no connection with backend. Open workshop menu, no connection with backend. Tried fixes found online, nothing worked. Cool 30 euros menu though. Gonna have to refund that one, boss.
Is your firewall blocking BattleEye/the game?
@@SirIronbeard It seems like the whole servers were down, probably due to the recent updates. I kept trying and it began to work again ! I was worried at first, but now I gotta say, I love it already. All is fixed :) Never refunding it !
Still ridiculous they decided to call this early access blocking ps users from experiencing this. And I know for a fact being on xbox as well. We need players
Sony removed Cyberpunk from their store pretty quickly because of the state it was in. I imagine they would've done the same to Reforger.
@SirIronbeard the real issue is Sony doesn't allow early access. Only betas n demo's. Dayz was an utter mess when it dropped on ps4 with very similar problems. In cyberpunks case the sheer hype then immediate hate around (aka mass refunds) it is what forced them to pull it from the store. If Sony allowed early access like xbox it wouldn't be an issue because there would be a very obvious disclaimer saying you're buying a unfinished product like it does on xbox. They could also now release it as a full product in its current state. I know for a fact the dayz community on playstation will absolutely love it. On xbox it was the dayz players teaching everyone else day1.
@SirIronbeard but either way the ps community will be there day 1 of arma 4 to fill servers. Just the other day for dayzs update the servers were popping insane numbers.
I don't think they realize that if they just bring all of the shit from ARMA 2 and 3 to reforge her but a better version console people.... Bro we don't fucking have shit like this all you PC players get the better fucking games like arma lol can't wait for more smartest move they could do is update the shit out of this console
Why cant they just center the character to the middle of the screen in 3rd person I hate being forced to aim over the right shoulder all the time on every good video game. I am a left handed shooter support versatility guys come on! 😭
Same man!
Arma Reforger is meant to be a complete game
Yep! What would make Reforger a complete game for you?
@@SirIronbeardmore content ops missions, smarter AI more maps I could go on but these are my essentials, little tweaks like lights in buildings be able to switch on off, civilians walking around instead of ghost towns, civilian vehicles
Are they serious? This game has by far the worst connectivity problems in history of multiplayergames. Its impossible to play online since everyone gets permanently kicked out due to connection issues. Instead of fixing basic issues they continue and drop a roadmap.
Have you played recently?
@@megathicc6367 yes, it keeps disconnecting and having problems to find servers afterwards. I reinstalled it a couple of times and tried all kind of fixes. I asked people in the lobby if they had the same problems and they confirmed with "haha yea, thats part of the game"
Played last night and had literally zero issues. Before it was a mess that was unplayable
I bought the game yesterday and almost instantly asked for a refund. Only 2 servers were populated, the game is DEAD
It was the same for me. Last time I checked it was 200 people. Was like 4 month's ago. I checked in 3 days ago. 4000 people and it was in the middle of the night. I gave it a fair shot and must say:it is the most fun that I had in years in a game. You need a guy that can teach you stuff. On Xbox even more because the controller is not only controlling your movement and camera as we are used to. It also controls the soldier as a whole plus items. Once you get it it it becomes more natural and will unfold
It still crashes every half hour
I'm stoked for key bindings on xbox. Needing to go into the weapon interact menu to turn flashlights or lasers on is fucked. I need the ability to flip them on and off at a moments notice.
Lead producer is a woman… on a warfare game…. Weak.
Yet it's still a great game for early access. Almost like gender doesn't matter when producing a game.
@@megathicc6367 gender doesn’t matter, experience matters. You all complain ‘you can’t say anything about abortion or being black unless you’re a woman or black’. Well I’m an actual combat veteran, and watching you turds shit on my culture makes me sick!
How’s that for ya?
Sexism💀💀💀 you is crazy
@@megathicc6367Incorrect on all counts. Women do not belong in the workforce.
