The latest installment in the Arma franchise returns you to authentic Cold War combat in a flexible military sandbox. Arma Reforger has been built from the ground up on the all-new Enfusion Engine, bringing additional functionality and more immersive in-game environments to the renowned military simulator.

Featuring crossplay for both Xbox and PC, Arma Reforger transports players to the mid-Atlantic islands of Everon and Arland to battle it out with a range of historically accurate weapons, vehicles, and helicopters!

THIS has crossplay? Color me impressed. I actually spent a decent amount of time playing this a few months back and I had a great time, but really it's about as good as the group of people you're playing with. The bones for the future of ARMA seem to be in a good place though I'll say and I look forward to watching it evolve up to ARMA 4 in the future.

BUT, it has as many bugs as you expect with ARMA so I'd say be prepared for that if you've never played the series before. Tons. Lots. I highly doubt it's been tightened up significantly since I played it last, but it didn't stop me from having a great time with it. I bet there's some awesome modes and player creations now.

Also, there's no way this doesn't run like dog shit on the consoles.

Ah, the game where you fight the interface more than the enemies.. Being one myself I can safely say Bohemia have never ever been in close proximity with a UX designer.

But of course, I've backed this game already a long time ago, and mostly because I know it'll contribute to the development of Arma 4.

With that said, I've played a few rounds in co-op in this game, had some fun between the frustrations.

Great trailer. Enfusion engine is a beast.

 

[amigastar]

Arma Reforger sounds better every time i see a video about it.

Looks like ithe PS5 version is inbound.

I know its a huge map open military simulator game,but it would be so popular if it have smaller maps like in Battlefield and 32vs32..

if the mods make it into the PS5 version you’ll have them.

If you haven’t already, you should give „Squad“ a try. It’s not on consoles though.

I have Squad on my PC. Its fun but the maps are just too big,it feels like a walking simulator sometimes

It all stands or falls by having a good squad leader and commander, from my experience. But it’s a good alternative for people who are overwhelmed by Arma‘s complexity. Another great game is Hell let loose. I wish there was a modern iteration. WW2 isn’t my cup of tea, I can only play games with that setting when I’m really in the mood.

I believe it’s on sale atm. Worth it. Especially with all the mods.

i've almost done so a few times, especially with their co-op campaign recently.

I think for me what makes arma though is the humongous maps, jets etc. I know they recently added helis but i still want the full fat deal. I can't wait for Arma4 for me it's like a new GTA , can't wait to see what they do with the size and scale.

I also think reforger is a clever testbed to sort out systems before the full release of arma 4.

From what I hear, that's the true military experience right there.

1 Million copies? That's more than i've thought for sure.
I should check it out again. Maybe there are some good Singleplayer missions?

In the next update, you will have a single player mission.

 

[midasmulligan]

How’s the performance on ps5 pro? Saw screen tearing, is that occurring with VRR displays as well?

Who would have thought it will be such a success?

 

[Warspite]

You can tell, trying to get into servers with friends is difficult, as soon as any server looks to get players it fills very quickly and the lack of official 120 player servers don't help.

The ARMA games are actually pretty big on PC, with a big following.
I'd argue that the game should of done even better. In fact you will see that when the proper 'ARMA 4' releases.

I am one of their followers since Operation Flashpoint. i look forward to ARMA 4 actually.

I remember when I first played Flashpoint on friend's Duron 600 and Geforce 2 GT.
The photorealistic textures. The forests with actual hundreds if not thousands of trees. The villages that looked like legit czech villages.
Revolutionary game. Just wish its campaign was remade in Reforger, I would love to replay it with new engine and assets.

I agree, it was awesome and the AI was actually very good for its time. Would love to see a remake in Reforger.

Oh man! I remember how it was! My father, brother and I spent hundreds of hours in Flashpoint! The soundtrack is inscribed in my DNA.
