The New ARMA Game's Updates are SURPRISINGLY Good

lot more a lot more confli building armor reforger is changing and changing fast in just a few updates the game has gone from Bare Bones to implementing features and content that I would have never expected out of the game I'll take a wild guess based on the player counts on Steam that you haven't tried this yet a medical system similar to Arma 3's Ace Medical mod but simpler and ergonomic adding tourits morphine s and bandages went down you're going to be slowly bleeding out but teammates can identify that you're still breathing if you happen to wake up from your combat Slumber just do me a favor and don't stand up too quickly body armor for Soviets and US forces protecting you from fragmentation and some projectiles medical Vehicles repairable Vehicles physical Logistics an Arsenal with a Loadout save oh thank God the amount of times I've crashed my game just trying to pick out stuff out of the Arsenal in the current oh and on the experimental Branch helicopters baby and they look [Music] good the attention to detail on these models looks like these are from DCS bumps in the airframe high resolution dashboards and switchboards and stuff Moody interior lighting these things in Rain give me massive Odus Vibes where I just want to sit and stare for hours with a saxophone in the background even Crash Landing these things is fun because there's actual simulation of wield gears now helicopter gears and skids have their own suspension I did this for like 10 15 minutes straight just the Bendy metal what looker for is perfect if you download the game right now after not playing it for a year you're going to hit some server performance problems some occasional crashes at least I still do uh and terrible hit RGS still plaguing the game's user base but you you can't ignore the feature set that's being put into it the more I play the more I do see the light at that end of the tunnel and there's many features and fixes out of the game I could go into but I really don't think I'm that interesting to listen to so for today's episode I joined the devs in a public server to play some of reer most action-packed mode conflict on the small island map with double the usual player count but before we jump in a quick word from today's sponsor the spoke poost is a monthly membership club delivering a box of awesome topshelf goods from under to the radar Brands it's

teamed up with these two Russian guys uh they're speaking really Advanced Russian I don't know what they're saying half the time but they're wanting to build a helicopter uh uh V when do I shoot when do we shoot when do we shoot come on yes yes nice yeah I haven't played Armory re forger in a little bit it's um it's kind of just been buggy for me it's been crashing quite a bit I tried to play some modded stuff I don't know if it's the mods I don't know if it's like a program on my PC but they've said that the stability is more than ever with this version that this version is really really good they seemed very confident see I'm kind of interested to see how it how it goes but just look at the detail on my uniform like the the FL jacket the helmet like I love the look of the characters in this game especially with the FL jacket it really fills out the the gear that kind of felt empty is before without the flag jackets before you were just wearing um the helmet and an ALICE rig and a vest and that was that was it careful there's a lot of guns around here oh [ __ ] yep that's a guy was just riding the three round burst up his body really scared of this Forest now there's like zero team cohesion it's just all a mess I'm running first person in combat I'm not a cheater just kidding if I usually in like Armor 3 King of the Hill dude I would cheese third person so bad what who am I I am I am lying if I say I've never cheesed third person dude yeah the game is like immensely impressive in multiple ways and then it kind of just is a little a little broken in other ways but uh damn there's a ton of combat going on what the heck oh they're going the other way they're going to drive directly up to the point good luck that's that's what I'll say good luck those things are loud they just got the Signal Hill which is the top of this hill I'm pretty sure unless I'm on the wrong Hill entirely one big mistake that you can make in these sort of games is that transportation's nice it gets you from point A to point B really quickly but also it's really loud you are considerably safer going on foot and I'm pretty sure that that whole US Army Squad in that jeep just got ambushed the Soviets oh wait should I load a GL I should probably load my GL I also really like that I can have that preset loaded so I can just switch to it really fast that's awesome St two we Oscar Mike attacking Point Florida out okay oh why did the birds just take off from here that was me that was my G sorry I thought you guys were hostile no there might still be hos te Communications Tower cool yep okay so there are hostiles here [Music] oh holy crap okay I'm flanking right Tas out oh oh no he got me oh man I took those two guys out with the GL that was awesome oh so this is the new down state by the way uh you can go down you're bleeding you can be meded there's tourniquets bandages morphine there's also a medkit which I think is just everything packed in one but kind of a cool little little setup here where I'm down but not fully dead and I think I just got like finished off or I bled out or something but still cool my M60 so now let's check this out I can deploy bipod with left control C there you go and then if I go up to an object I can now click c on it and it enters this kind of Animation where uh my guy looks really weird but I think that's cuz this object is so tall if I go prone I oh I still can't deploy bipod while prone maybe it's like technically deployed at all times while prone I don't know kind of doesn't really portray that very well taking fire from way over there oh I'm out Tak let's flank this Left Flank this left yeah flank left let's move left move left what's the plan LS let win that's the plan that was actually cool too the um what is my arm doing I guess that that makes sense uh the end of the magazine the box mag there was all tracers which is cool it kind of reminds the Gunner like hey you're running out of ammo right now the next few rounds if you see them each round Tracer instead of a mix of like I think it's two and then one um then you know that you're running out of ammo I oh the Bush was brown and it looked like the brown of the Soviet jacket I thought I had a Soviet man looking at me just getting a little bit jumpy on my trigger I've already taken an RPG to the face I'm sufficiently jumpy then there's the guys just driving up in the Jeep RPG flies over their heads yeah these little pieces of terrain too are really cool I don't know how those are made if they're Auto if they're like prely one down close yep yep yep right side right side yep eyes right in front of you right in front of you I say frag out joking is there a dead guy there a dead Russian too no there is a dead American no no like five more feet there should be a dead Soviet if I hit him I shot through a bush I don't know holy gunfire I see Americans to our front by that vehicle is that friendly yeah all in front of us on the road is Americans um but they're being wiped let's let's flank the left again yeah let's stay stay kind of behind the hill use the hill as cover so I don't know if those Russians are going to flank into us as well trying to get around those guys careful that they're they're on the upside the uphill side of this battle here yep I can barely hear over those gunshots by the way so I apologize if I if I don't know what you're saying I'm going to I'm going to push those gunshots you guys push the tower I'm going to flank these guys W that's a g [Applause] close oh they're right in front of me I have frags I'm going throw some frags on them oh shoot oh that did not throw far at all what the heck that didn't go anywhere man there were a lot of Soviets here hey guys oh my gosh so lucky no oh I got him let's go I got to take my bandage out no oh oh I killed so many good shot man oh I can't talk I guess dude that was so many they were just they were not they were not holding a flank they were holding one spot they were holding one spot and and and they were they were oh man that shows just how basic of a maneuver you can do and just decimate a team right cuz they were holding one spot they were their formation in the fight was kind of like a column and so but they didn't even expect or they weren't prepared for any contact from left and right flank so that was just immense like power just flanking slightly right woo oh my gosh that was that was wonderful out whoa whoa the Russians have invented antil Cloud technology we're done for they control the weather what the heck it's going to be really cool with the dynamic lighting what flares will look like in armor four armor reforger radio o nice air thanks brother play this map too much I haven't played this uh this small map until now Arland really I think at Texas nice I change up a lot more a lot more confli yeah I'm mine M bu holy he he drifted he drifted into the mine what did I just walk up on some head yeah he's right around here too buddy it's daytime there is oh sorry Jesus scamers over here so he's bandaging me I'm down but he's bandaging me and it looks like he may be okay I'm not I'm not bleeding anymore more so as long as I'm not bleeding for a second maybe I get back up but I'm technically oh I'm awake hello did I walk in front of you yeah you dropped your 249 here buddy oh thank you no problem man it's on me no you're good I think I walked in front of you yeah we found the mine guy he's [ __ ] going crazy look oh you can shoot them nice that's a cool effect too [ __ ] he had multiple layers yeah he did we're probably attracting a lot of attention by the way I'm going to keep pushing towards point but he did mine that side streak down down the road as well jeez okay bipods down ready to be bipod so when I go prone is there any difference in the botted prone and no there's no at all to the South what's to the south of us oh Arizona in yeah that's Soviets in the sandbags front front front oh wait no we just took it we just took it we just took it dude he looks he's wearing brown friendly friendly friendly friendly sorry friendly he's wearing brown he's wearing the Soviet uniform friendly friendly friendly over us I shot this guy I'm sorry he was wearing brown right he was wearing a Soviet yeah that's why I shot him that's what do you hit yeah that's you now I I'm okay right shooting a guy that looks like this right is that all right he's got the he's got the US helmet on ah yeah if you wear the enemy team's stuff man I'm going to shoot you on site of course I don't know why that's still a thing in this mode by the way carrying the enemy uniforms I think it's cheesy I think it's a little goofy it's kind of weird breaks gameplay a lot unless you want to like have gameplay be that dirty but especially to like new players it's just so confusing what the heck what the heck who was that chill chill chill chill chill chill wait I'm so confused you don't have a name tag be like that what I'm so confused why why is the sorry I'm so sorry I shot you like 80 times to sometimes sometimes how do I cancel huh okay experimental game do be experimental that's wild he got shot by a49 dude I shot him like 30 times I can't believe he's alive I don't know how I'm alive man is made of steel good morning good morning ah oh that's you hello I killed one where are they where are they at who needed morphine I have I'm play the piano I'm good I got I got hit with it my [ __ ] god dude I killed one back out back out don't don't be in the same building all right I'm going to get out too much for me what what did we just find in here been working too much my hands are weak knees are sweat spaghetti God speed Brothers hell yeah brother who oh [ __ ] fire to the West oh dang I didn't realize we had the gaming expert on our team uh those are Soviets those are Soviets oh the body I think you guys got them I think it's safe to say they are goners they almost got me what do you mean you may sleep now my sweet prince you can sleep it's okay oh my God I'm taking his boots all right boys we're going to be raming them Tower we've lost uhoh what is the how did you manage this okay I'm standing on top oh yes oh no I'm stuck inside I'm stuck inside the oh okay got got to be careful here good luck D good luck all right let's move in come on give me give me on okay we're good you sure you don't want to stay up there it's the perfect sniping position try not to hunk up in the middle of the uh the the I don't know what this is called Armory Armory yeah the gun store gun place place with guns the candy store or Heaven for men hey man guns are not exclusively all right heaven for people I mean it sends people to heaven uhoh I'll bring us to the next little radar dish over here yep oh actually we we'll join ners go on the hill maybe so we can snipe them go on the hill to the left here you destroyed our light I did yeah you did you have to pay for that let me Ram through this fence yeah here I sniped him oh you're good to snipe them oh I think I'm going to snipe them pulls out rocket oh I think I'm going to die contact front low one behind the tent pry drewy yeah yeah he's here he's here he's here he's not no I'm not well he's not here no I'm game there he is man I'm Ste mode Legend where did go that's that's fine that's totally understandable wonder what the frame rate difference is between Ultra graphics and lowest Graphics I'm going to run it 104 FPS right now on this live server and I'm going to click low quality preset and I think that doesn't even put everything on like lowest it's I can even go lower than low and then I can also so I'm running 120 FPS so I only gained what 100 10 or sorry I only gained like 10 or 20 FPS um definitely visibility visibility is easier um let's [ __ ] go oh hello random AI um and with that it's interesting right it's like it's it's just right there and then you get moments like that that kind of lose you uh but the game scales like crazy like I can also do render scale like let's go render scale 50 and then turn on Fidelity effect super res and like the game the game is uh definitely playable even at 50% res scale it looks fine like it definitely is like obviously potato textures but obviously the game is meant to be scalable down my concern with this is kind of kind of a unique one I feel where I wish that as a server owner I could set what I believe the lowest uh setting should be able to go to cuz this is too simple for me um I think that I would require a player on a PVP server to run at least normal textures so that stuff doesn't look like Playdoh in the distance um cuz seeing a detailed character against a simple background like this is really easy hello good [Music] sir yeah it seems like on high-end Hardware though cuz I'm on a 13900 K with a 4090 so this is like the highest in you get um Graphics does not matter it's the engine limitation um I am pretty happy with how much the graphics can scale down though I bet this would be a much greater difference if I was playing on like a 1060 or a or a or like a 2070 you know like something that would not exactly be game bottleneck or CPU bottleneck like this probably is cuz the 490 is just insane um I mean we're running the game at 107 FPS on the minimum settings and the GPU is only 35% usage which is just nuts but compared to Arma 3 you can see how like wow we're doing a whole PVP scenario with all these much more advanced Graphics uh right not right now at least but we're running 120 FPS which is pretty cool by the way all you have to do to win fights in Arma against uh standard PVP players just just flank around just just go around like don't don't fight them head on let the let the other guys fight them head on just do a little do a little scenic route around the sides and then you'll always end up magically behind them it's a wonderful thing that you learn in Day Z like Day Z players those are the ones that I I'll run into out here you know flanking the enemy team and stuff oh yep there's there's a I think that's a Russian out in front of us I can't actually tell cuz the resolution's so low I'm pretty sure that's hostile maybe I should up my resolution scale a little bit I think those are all Russians oh and no they're shooting at the what the hell what the hell what the heck oh my gosh they're going off the cliff there just went on the cliff there's definitely a hostile behind that jeep that us trying to spot him I think he's oh no there he is yep we got him got they're talking why is so hard to identify friendlies there's another je com we let them one Mak last a bit longer we could let them yeah they it and they C both and we lose I don't know man up to you guys would give them a crap The One That Got Away some more going guys yeah man we got we got to get some the stream or something excuse me I think it guess how are you not dead oh I I killed one I think I killed them both did I kill them both there's still more sir you can't park here is that just hit rag or are we both bad at the game we're both bad at the game I'm so sorry bud ah no no please the friendlies are trying to kill me no it's me I'm friendly you goobers oh come on was that was that or we both just bad at the [Laughter] game oh my gosh that was so good dude that was so good can I bod no where is this guy that's shooting all these rounds gosh how many rounds do you take this place is in a Perpetual state of gunfire nobody look over here please don't look at the flank got Arona preer Supply Depot for us the flanks aren't necessary we don't need any coverage on the flanks at all what are you talking about why would we need coverage on the flanks who wouldn't who would want that [Laughter] hey oh wow I think that's a lot of Soviets down there that that looked like a lot of guys let me double check that those are Soviets yep wow lot of Soviets on the beach yep on the beach uh or I guess the dock the concrete dock down there there were like five of them going right to left oh there they are uh I'll give you a bearing uh like 140 moving right to left on the beach I have to get closer cuz these trees are covering them on our right on check six right this is a huge huge group massive group of guys up here enemy in the build enemy in the build enemy in the build come on don't notice me please holy crap those were all players I'm going to reload they've got to be in this grass somewhere I don't hear anything holy crap that flank was insane okay hopefully I don't get friendly fired oh that's an enemy holy Toledo dude that was insane that was so many guys so Bohemia has been making a lot of progress obviously it's been a long time and Arma reforger didn't really release in the state that most people wished it would have but they are posting this road map up and they posted it a few months back and they have completed a lot of the things on that first page of the road map the second page they're halfway through and the third page is yet to be really explored or experienced by us but it seems like they're doing a pretty good job at standing up with what they promised and there's actually a lot of features that you didn't even spot in this video that happened like birds being located in the forests and popping up whenever they're Disturbed is actually something that was uh quite common in the combat and I really did enjoy that that natural environmental kind of trip wire system I don't know if you can see the birds in the trees and if you can disturb them or try to avoid them maybe with stealth stealthy movement or something but that was a cool feature that I noticed in this mode as well as the new Arsenal system uh medical system especially is H huge in the game for elongating the combat scenarios and making PVE especially where you're just constantly fing AI a little more smooth everybody when they die is kind of just like a a immersion breaking moment because you have to die and then you respawn but how do you respawn into the same group of guys it's kind of a difficult thing to solve in terms of immersion so having an ability to pick your buddy back up or have him go to an unconscious state is something that we can mod and change in the future to make it really smooth for these PVE operations that are going to occur in the next Arma games or armor reforger helicopters are really well done I just think seeing the cool helicopters in this new engine is awesome um and to not have them in Day Z for so long and to finally have them appear in reforger or at least not have them until they were modded into Day Z but having uh vanilla helicopters in a bi game for the first time in a while is uh really cool and to see those officially added is is really nice and I can't wait for those to be added to the main branch so we can really explore how we can use those and and manipulate the battlefield with uh some some flying spinny rotors of death in the feature we have like M16 a2s nsv hmgs mortars rifle scopes suppressors RPG Scopes we have a lav 25 and a brdm scout car for the Russian team and Rockets to be added to helicopters Side Door Guns maybe I don't know if those are a thing with the with the Cold War era Hues but maybe maybe a little M60 on the side or something that' be cool also crazy stuff like an electrical system where there's going to be an electrical grid and there's going to be infrastructure where you can go and destroy that and take out power in certain parts of the islands I think that's going to be really cool for lots of those you know maybe defensive modes or something where part of the objective that you have to defend is the power station cuz if you don't have the power station you know you wouldn't have light or something to illuminate the area but yeah in conclusion Bohemia doing some pretty good stuff work on the server performance uh the uh game crashes and uh net code and things like that hit regge is still I don't know if it's the frame rate of the server maybe that was causing that but other than that uh about one thumbs up for me one thumbs up so far about on the progress of the game pretty good
