Anyone still playing Arma 3 or Arma reforger?
I wish more competent people played reforger but right now almost every server that isn't just the Conflict mode has like 100+ mods to download just because someone wanted their specific variant of an AR-15 in the game. Loads of people still play Arma 3 though.
>>1155518I played OFP regularly when it was new and spent a decade with Arma 2/OA and Arma 3 but burnt out. I had hoped Reforger would have rekindled that interest but it's just not what I wanted out of it.I want to say I'll jump in when Arma 4 turns up but I don't know at this point
>>1155518Join BROMA
>>1155518No, just Squad for a more streamlined experience.
>>1155518Yeah, are you looking for an A3 unit?
>>1156936What do you have?
>>1157018https://arch.b4k.co/vm/thread/1079353/I was OP, a PMC unit also advertised in replies if that fits looks more interesting to you
I play. Empire unit. Stormtroopers shit all over milsim nerds. I only fire gigantic red tracers because my balls are massive.
How do I switch the vehicle control in reforger to mouse controls? I can't stand the WASD shit, I want my smooth mouse steering back.
>>1155518I spent all my KOTH money on the lynx, only to realize I was too low level to buy any decent scopes. I save up and rank up and eventually get whatever the 4x-11x one was, only to realize I didn't get the APDS lynx. I suffer
Vanilla arma 3 weapons are good and nothing can and ever will change my mind.
>>1169328they're fine
>mfw zoomer don't like playing arma because it's not action pack like COD or ForniteIt's over boomer bros...
>>1169328>he unironically uses the MX
>>1172108On 4chan at least.
Operate with Emerald Clover Division
>>117210890% of my arma play time is playing green army men with the editor. The other 10% is playing solo antistasi optre over multiple maps and pretending the Human-covenant war never happened and that the URF and UNSC have been fighting for 30 years with the URF slowly winning the frontier planets.
>>1155518Only Arma 2 with some russians.
>>1176239Is it fun?

Is anyone playing?
bump for more arma players
Playing Arma 3 with /a3g/ was so fucking comfy.
>>1172108Most people just don't like shitty severs based around a handfull of irl crippled vets and 40 year old men on the mic playing SpawnCamp Flight sim the game™ while banning for "offensive ukraine jokes". The last good arma server was Anzu's Wargame evo blue, because atleast they legitimately gave a shit about trying to make a fun environment, not "I'm a desperate kike who needs to dominate at every aspect"

Squad tried to force people who didn't want to play in a team play in a team, and it didn't work. Not only did it not work, but they fucked up the most direct part of the gameplay, shooting, just to pretend 'if you shoot bad you have to work with other people!' when in reality it just changed the classes the lone wolves pick. Instead of marksman and GL, they just pick marksman and HMG now.
>>1155518>>1176239Blows my mind that it's been 10 years. I could never get into A3 like I could when 2 and OA were new. >saturday nights playing unsungAny A3 solo missions worth playing?
There's ops tonight.
>>1187408I don't believe you.
Complete fucking retard here having never played Arma before, is it possible to join and play? how many player manuals must i read to become a decent noob operator?
>>1187533Yes. Play the first few levels of the campaign to get familiar with the controls and/or change them to your liking.
Get in the ops
>>1188529Where?
But how do you become proficient at flying in this game?
>>1190160Open the editor and spawn a plane/chopper and fly the thing until you are good.

Just play ArmA.

>>1198965No.Yes.
What are your guys thoughts on adding suppression to Reforger? Most people seem to hate the idea overall but I think that's just a skill issue
>>1200805would end the pavement dance, which totally takes away from the realism the game goes for in multiplayer
>>1200805It's a necessity.
Why is ARMA so dead?
[insert "it isn't dead, people are just busy playing instead of posting" cope here]
Why don't you fags hold any ops on east coast times
>>1204284See>>1197002
Just operate already
Arma platform was live and showing off more Reforger.

>>1207174What was there to even show off?
OPS TIME GET IN
>>1155518we playin reforger bro new update rules and its only getting better
>>1208345What server bro?
>>1208345What new updates?
90% of fucking servers is RP shit and most servers have 3rd person enabled. BI is so incompetent at making games, just the fact that Arma 4 will be on consoles means that it will be a massive flop. Reforger is already a giant fail.Also nobody wants to deal with joining a unit or an op they can only play at certain times its bullshit. In Squad you just join a server whenever and you're good. Arma is garbage.
>>1208583Conflict mode in Reforger is basicaly Squad but more hardcore and open world. Honestly a good compromise between hardcore Arma and the casual Squad.
>>1155518I'd play Arma 3 if it wasn't the most clunky, unoptimized piece of shit ever released. Imagine my disappointment when I bought the game years ago for my 1660 Ti Super and Ryzen 7 4800HS only to find out I'd usually get under 80 frames per second and all the way down to 40 frames at any given moment due to the enormous map sizes and player count.I swear, if any of you in here can tell me any tricks or mods that would optimize Arma 3, I'd reinstall the game in a heartbeat. But I tried most of EVERYTHING (Minus installing mods), and nothing ever fixed the game for me baka

>>1208987>>1209429> Uh this outdated mil-sim is SUPPOSED to run like shit, chud!!!Lol. Dying game that's not even the best in it's genre currently, and Reforger is most likely gonna suck ass as well. Smell you later, homos
why the fuck can you not save a single player mission on reforger??
>>1155518Havent played in ages, and even then it was only to complete the campaign. I'd like to actually play with other people but the idea of re learning all the controls seems slightly daunting.
>>1211481It's not so bad. Most things are just ace interacting anyways which all context sensitive and easy one press.
I mostly only play the one first person only koth server that is left. Codeforugaming us4 I think. Though recently it got ruined because you can't fly redneck pawnee anymore. Sometimes I have a pretty good time on the invade and annex servers because I am kothlet and don't know how to join actual groups that host their own missions. Arma3 is definitely dying. Alot of old gamemodes are gone now and replaced with shitty 3rd person RP servers.Though it has been dying forever now and very slowly. It will still be clinging to life for several more years.
>>1213040As long as there are smaller groups playing their own things it'll be fine. Not too mention people still constantly adding new mods.
Should I get Reforger if I enjoy casual stuff like invade & annex or playing around in the editor? I tried it on launch but it was beyond broken, couldn't get into servers or play on one for more than 10 minutes before being kicked off. Is it better now? I have a bit of an Arma itch and I do want to play with my green army toy soldiers in the editor.
>>1215974Nope. It's less shit, but still shit. You're better off playing Squad or whatever the fuck and waiting for ARMA 4 which'll probably come out next year or so desu.
>>1216375I bought it and played for a bit and the game feels alright and I like where they're going with it, except for the obvious console babby UI stuff. It ran okay, probably better than Arma 3, but my PC isn't up to snuff so I only got around 45 - 50 fps with medium on most and ultra on some settings. Could barely hear what people were saying on mic either, audio kept cutting out and there was a bunch of network desync which I find strange as I had around 20ms ping. It's still not there like you said. I sent in a refund request and hopefully they refund it, again. Just gonna wait for Arma 4 I think. A shame, I like the theme of this game much more than Arma 3 and it's near future stuff.
>>1216382Condolences
>>1216382nta but are the servers just fucking garbage or do the slavniggers have some kind of adamantium body armor on them? i kept hitting these fags on a conflict server today and all it did was produce some sparks and niggers immediately turning around and nuking me with a single hit.
>>1223770It's just the servers being shit, especially if you're playing on one of the 128 ones like that one PBS server. The only armor that's actually worth using is the 6b3 which can tank 5.56 at 100m but nothing stops shit up close which is why I normally run nothing but a helmet to keep supply cost low.
antistasi antistasi
>>1223895Soviets get shit like the BTR, scoped .50 cal and a few other stuff but they got completely shafted when it came to small arms and personal armor (just like IRL). The 6b3 is the best armor in the game in terms of protection but is heavy as fuck and has absolute dogshit storage. Meanwhile the US has all it's small arms which are outright superior stat-wise to the Soviets and have the pasgt vests which are the second best in the game and the objectively superior pasgt helmet and ALICE webbing.
>>1155518Yeap, still launches the game from time to tome for some public Warlord shennanigans with friends, and some moddéd games for a small group (Dynamic recon and MCC3 are just insane great tools to set a simple randomized mission)
arma and star citizen autists should really unite and do some ops together. The overlap is damn near 1:1
>>1225742>starma
>>1223895>>1224684so slavnigger armor just sparkling and the retard noscoping me when he gets hit isnt bohemia incompetence as far as stats go but bohemia incompetence network wise?
>>1226326that and everyone using overall shit servers including the official ones.
>>1226376man what a shame. this could be genuinely the first non jank bohemia multiplayer game but they choose to be cheap niggers about it.
>>1226326You're hitting their guns retard that's why it's sparking. Just like in Arma 3 in the newer updates.
>>1226626cool. didnt know you can hit their guns when shooting them in the back.
Skill issue
Arma 3 still gets content
>>1232407It's hard to play Arma 3 after experiencing Reforger's performance and character controls/interactions.
>>1232407Is the CDLC good?
>>1239404Just fucking buy it goy
Hope we get the mortars and flares next update. Can't wait to spam fire Morton from Goat Bay

Play Arma tonight.
Ops of the arma variety?
>>1240928>acei remember hating this gay & retarded pseudorealistic mod after a while.
I really want to play ARMA but I don't want to deal with 3's engine. Is anyone doing anything interesting with Reforger aside from the ACE mod that was just posted? I'm a big invade&annex PvE guy.
>>1243945>artificial difficulty and made up mechanics + jank = realismas expected of a dumb nigger who never went outside
I played 1 and 2, some dlc, and maybe 6 hours of multiplayer total between them in the stone age. Never saw the point in A3 since it would be more of the same and the multiplayer community looks just like GMOD's (all 13 year olds and their twitch/youtube influencer masters). But the Antistasi mod looks really fun, you guys have anything to share about it? Is it OK solo? Do I need friends or join some random server to enjoy it? Would it be worth buying the game on sale just for that?
I had an amazing time on an official Vietnam 67 Reforger server tonight as a random pubbie. Hard Invade & Annex vibes but it was all PvP. >it ain't me starts playing
>ReforgerShit>ACEBloated shitany groups around that run fun meme ops and not "I totally almost enlisted bro" wank fests? My old gaming group just fucking died recently and I've missed the stupid Arma ops we used to run.
>>1244301Reforger is easily the most pick up and play so idk why you'd shut it down just because it's inferior to Arma 3 in some ways. The new engine makes up for it.
>>1244301See>>1197002
Just play Arma 3.
What's the best mod for Arma?
>>1247108Ace
>>1244341do these groups allow nigger to be spammed over comms? asking for a friend
>>1155518>over a hundred hours in I&A co-op>still a filthy casual who relies on ENVGs and nightstalker scopes for the built in rangefinderI'll never be like the cool tacticool guys at this rate
>>1248405Yes actually.
>>1248905Often too
To defrost myself from a one year break because I had an arma ip coming up cause I felt like it, I decided to boot arma up and play some koth. I then discovered antistasi. Gabagool.
Before this I had about 10 hours played. About 2 or 3 month later I have 185. Oh god
>>1251188>>1251187It'll keep rising
>>1251188>>1251187>only 185
Operate today.
>>1254085Today?
Which CDLCs are good?
>>1256160SOG PFGloboHomoWestern Sahara
>>1256408No WW2?
>>1256459stupidly unoptimized with little content, the new dlc as well is over priced for what you get
>>1256459>>1256553yeah, spearhead isn't really worth it (yet). asset quality is good, but you get way less than what you could with mods.hopefully they will follow the SOG route and continue to add in more content.

>>1260042>while moving at a brisk jogging paceThere you have just pointed out the real problem. Not recoil, but movement having practically no impact on weapon handling and accuracy. You can sprint, zig-zag and strafe left and right all without any inertia and instantly land accurate shots after you stop.

>>1172108I don't like playing ArmA because it runs like shit even with 10 years advancement of new tech, the UI is abysmal and stuck in 2003, the shitty DLC mongering, and the fact that every server is populated by /k/ ultra autismos and old men
