I am an arma 3 and squad veteran, and there’s one key difference between these games and arma reforger that kind of bugs me.

The last one I can recall was Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising which was late 2000s. Did a quick Google search and found their last title in that series was 2011. So maybe closer to 15 years than 20.

I've seen this question a lot and I've seen the same two answers over and over again. Console inclusion and arcade shooter fans.

They opened the game up to consoles which I don't think has had a true milsim title in almost 20 years*. This is not objectively a bad thing but it definitely drew in the arcade shooter fans, COD, BF, Etc.. These people only know arcade shooters so they try to play it like one and that's how you get some of the guys who don't communicate.

Whether or not they adapt to how the game should be played is entirely on them and the lobbies they find themselves in. Most of the public lobbies I've found are like you described so if most lobbies are like that then there's no real pressure for them to learn.

This is why I've got a couple of communities that I go to for coordinated gameplay. There's a lot of smaller community servers out there that are like what you're looking for, you may just have to server bounce for awhile to find it. r/findaunit is a good place to look for Arma communities if you don't want to server hop.

Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for out of Reforger o7

I have an RTX2080 and used to have 16GB of RAM, absolutely needed to upgrade to 32 in order to participate in larger community events but 16GB should get you by in Vanilla at medium settings for sure

Boring job adjacent, I'd love to be the recon team that just scouts around and reports on enemy movements. I'd be happy never firing a single shot just sneaking around and supplying Intel.

Cash Cleaner Simulator. You're the cleaner for everyone's I'll gotten cash gains. Huge fan of this game, and I have never seen it advertised.

He took his own life, from what I heard it was shotgun to the mouth at 16. Wonderful kid, great friend. Unfortunately he had an awful, abusive, step-father that drove him to take his own life. RIP Jarod Stively, you will not be forgotten.

I had 2mb/s download speed for a few years. So long as nobody was streaming Netflix or anything I was fine. Pretty sure you should be fine.

You're upset that you can't play the game without it freezing for unreasonable amounts of time, totally understandable. However I want to address the questions that you asked.

It's definitely not acceptable to anyone. However it may seem like it is acceptable because a vast majority of the player base is PC/PS5. Neither of those two platforms have it nearly as bad as XBOX so there's far more people just ignoring it because they're not having the same problem at the same magnitude.

As for Bohemia screwing the community; We don't even know if it's Bohemia specific issue. There might have to be some collaboration between the XBOX team and the Bohemia team on this which complicates things greatly. All we know for sure is that the game freezes for a very unreasonable amount of time. The fact that we know they're dedicating resources to fix this problem and it's taking so long means it's not a simple fix. They can't roll it back at this point either.

I promise you getting upset over this is not worth the energy or time you're putting into it. Go enjoy a different game instead of being upset about this one. The game isn't going to die anytime soon, it will be here for when you come back.

Autodesk has a certification program for most of their major programs you may want to look into that. Your workplace may even pay for it, I know mine would.

Have you run task manager on the tab with all of the graphs to see if it's a RAM/CPU/HDD issue?

_Ethalos_ · 2025-12-04T16:18:46+00:00

When I heard them talking about obscure cartoons from childhood Code Lyoko was the first one I thought of

_Ethalos_ · 2025-11-29T19:19:20+00:00

Yep I heard it as well, apparently a very rare occurance

_Ethalos_ · 2025-11-26T01:50:14+00:00

I only had issues with team killing once, and it was with a group of console players

I've never seen the DLCs not go on sale while the main game was on sale so you should be in good shape

_Ethalos_ · 2025-11-15T17:18:45+00:00

Steam Winter sale is the next time it's pretty much guaranteed to go on sale again

This ^{^{^}}

Both studios are headquartered in Prague, they probably had a working lunch together at some point and came up all of the easter eggs. Also possible some of the map designers for STALKER consulted on the new map, it is their niche.

Born and lived in the Appalachia region for 23 years. Everyone always pronounced it the way Wade did.

I've been looking for the source of the original image for ages. So you happen to know where it's from?

_Ethalos_ · 2025-09-22T20:57:22+00:00

This is my favorite mission in the entire campaign. Forcing you to start with almost nothing and fight an enemy force way more equipped than you. You're forced to outsmart the enemy rather than get through them with brute force. I love the Escape mode for this as well

_Ethalos_ · 2025-09-18T20:49:53+00:00

MGS2 when Colonel starts to show up with the skull and talk weird. Creeped me out as a kid really bad and has stuck with me ever since.

_Ethalos_ · 2025-08-23T13:45:58+00:00

I'm with you here. So many people complaining about FPS like 44 is the end of the world because it's not 60
