if you new to the game please don't act like a YN shooting everyone in a 100 meter radius of you and stealing anything you see like it's black friday TV's
and definitely go in some strangers car they will either lead you to enemy base or an ambush
performance is shit in this game like every arma sometimes it shits itself and kicks you out of the game (you can join back without needing to queue up again)
but the game is good enemies sometimes eats a ton of bullets but you? no you get 1 tapped in the nuts
(AVOID OFFICIAL STRESS TEST SERVERS)

Easily of the best military simulation sandbox ever made, be it as serious or goofy as one can make it. ARMA Reforger removed that barrier (the tank controls and UI IMO) that keep me (and many) away from such an amazing game, making it probably my favorite shooter of the latest part of this month. (BTW I JUST GOT IT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO).
Movement feels a bit less refined than other more arcade shooters but good nonetheless, shooting is great while being accompanied by an incredible sound design.
Ridiculous immersive setting with a full dynamic system of ballistics and weather that other shooters can not match.
Ease of modding and hosting with many game-modes supported anywhere you might set your eyes on, may that be Tarkov-like, Dayz-like, War-sim, Tactical shooter, and other stuff.
I cannot express the amount of true freedom a game like this offers and probably not doing justice with a mediocre review such as mine, but ill tell you this...
DO NOT PASS ON THIS GAME, is a great hub for playing with lots of people and friends while also being an excellent sandbox that lets you create whichever scenario or game you might want to enjoy. (BE AWARE OF DOWNLOADING A LOT WITH MODDED SERVERS :) )
I just hope I could transmit the amount of joy a game like this can bring to someone like me, would do the same for someone else.
Give it a shot, you will never regret it.

Multiplayer (Co-op specifically) does not work for some people, including me, despite opening the necessary ports in firewalls. Single player is abysmal at best, but probably fixable with mods that will break your saves every new update. Probably a fun little sandbox if you are so inclined, the game is very immersive. However I purchased the game to play at least some form of co-op in the form of PvE. By the time we gave up on trying to fix the co-op issues I had already used up my allotted 2 hours of 'demoing' this software.
Not recommended if you don't know how (or don't want to) to deal with networking issues. Not recommended if you expect a fully blossomed single player experience.

9/10 - I wholeheartedly recommend this game.
I've mostly played vanilla conflict lately, and this is the most comprehensive and easy to learn Arma experience so far.
The conflict gamemode is such a good way to introduce players to the game.
At this point, it would be impossible for me to go back to Arma 3, due to how much better the engine has become, and it really shows in everything, from shooting to the buildings actually looking like someone has lived in them.
The sound engine is also one thing that has improved quite a bit, especially in how the vanilla radio systems work.
It now actually works like, radios.
The medical system is easy to understand and offers a lot of good medic interactions.
Make sure to stock up on bandages and morphine!
The community is generally friendly and willing to communicate, but as always with multiplayer games, there will be donkeys that continuously teamkill and just ruin the flow of the game.
On official servers, sure, they can be kicked, but they can rejoin since they don't get banned.
This issue can easily be resolved by playing on community servers.
I absolutely love the new inventory screen, and especially how the arsenal works.
There's quite a lot of room for expression in how you outfit your character, which is pretty neat.
If you are to pick up the game, make sure to play through the tutorial!
It has a lot of good information, and let's you try out most of the systems the game has.

Epic game, great visuals, great mechanics.
little bit lack-luster in my opinion when it comes to vehicles, i mean it has trucks cars and helicopters but in my experience i'v not seen any ifv or apcs outside of modded servers

removed family share after I bought this game over a year ago. Would have bought on a different account had I known they would remove this option....
Family share should be grandfathered in if they want to change it....

Its just Arma 3 but better. So much physicality, bespoke animations that everyone can see for pretty much every action in the game. The driving is so much more fun too especially with the new impact based ragdoll physics. Its just the best military sandbox on the market right now. I love it, you'll love it. Get this shit now homie

Arma: Reforger has quickly turned into one of my favorite Mil-Sim/Large Scale Shooters of all time.
I come from the crowd who played a lot more action-packed Large Scale Shooters like Rising Storm 2: Vietnam & Battlefield. While I have played quite a bit of Squad & even more Arma 3, they never fully clicked with me. Squad is fun but it's heavy Unreal Engine 4 feel mixed with the fact that no one ever communicates really pushed me away. It's hard getting into a Squad match sometimes when getting a Squad that talks is such a mixed bag. Arma 3 on the other hand, while being the pinnacle of Bohemia's Charm, is such an impossible game to get into nowadays. Arma 3 is one of the least beginner friendly games I have ever played, and I don't mean in the gameplay itself, I mean how it's near impossible to find a reliable server and stick to it.
After playing Arma Reforger, I can safely say it's holds such a middle ground between Squad & Arma 3 that it feels almost perfect. It has that fantastic Bohemia charm & gameplay with the more beginner friendly server-browser & community (I believe with the addition of Crossplay helped immensely).
Arma: Reforger is the peak of Bohemia's Charm, it's the great gameplay of Arma 3 except on a brand new engine, incredibly polished (this game just plays so much better than Arma 3), & has a significantly more stable performance. While FPS won't be particularly high, it'll be pretty consistent with barely any major hitches. The control scheme is simplier than Arma 3 without being dumbed down, with that the QOL changes it has over it's previous entry is... god it's so nice.
I love the return of Arma: Cold War Assault's setting, bringing back the fantastic Cold War setting with it's fictional locations like Everon & Arland. As someone who loves the Cold War setting in games, this has been a huge treat for me.
I highly recommend this game if you love a good Mil-Sim game with a fantastic Cold War coat of paint.
