Alex_LT 16 Posted August 8, 2023 Don't get me wrong , for a test bed multiplayer is ok, but I still prefer to test mods and develop missions in singleplayer, since it allows to create more complex scenarios, add scripting, also - surprise factor is a thing, as you never know how AI would act. And yes, devs should make AI learn how to drive or at least how to mount vehicles, alongside many more things. Hopefully its matter of little time 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stburr91 1002 Posted August 8, 2023 BI has made it very clear what their priorities are with the new engine. Their number priority is to be multi-platform, and get Arma into the console market, their second priority is multiplayer. Honestly, we don't know how much, if any single player game modes, or content will be made for Arma 4, I would be very surprised if A4 has a single player campaign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just say i wont be buying A4 on the release day, i will watch it closly, and if there's no sp content or mission editor, im done with the Arma series for good. It's also really annoying to see how consolized all the menus in the game are, they even managed to mess up that simple spawn menu with their last "big" "update" making it so much more annoying simply to spawn in a scenario. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would not be the first dev team to dumb down and ruin their game to meet some fickle "console" demand that vanishes (unlike how Arma has been a constant revenue stream for them). This is coming from someone who would love if it worked out for them. I bough a pc for Arma. I built PCs for Arma. I would have loved to jump on console with my friends or family and have shown them what they have been missing. But, and this is a big butt. Having played this for a bit now, I am starting to feel there may be compromise creep going on in the background, I hope they fully understand what it will mean for the future of the series and their livelihoods, if they get this wrong and bastardise something beloved like Arma4. We have seen it many times now and still it astonishes me how some people just do not seem to be able to read a room. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakeplissken 81 Posted August 9, 2023 But the devs are useless. This is well over a year after release and the game is still full of connection timeouts and session errors, plus terrible collision detection and terrible netcode and rubber banding. This game is a joke. Bring out Arma 4 with PC only and better code, not this console trash from terrible developers. Surely Bohemia can do better than this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, these are probably the types of kids who say "arma doesn't need SP or an editor" and yes, i've seen a few of those comments on youtube. I've just uninstalled reforger and given up on the mods that i was working on, im going back to A3 to polish up a couple existing mods, then i'll probably go play Arma 3 in a few years for the nostalgia, A4 i 0 hope for at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just released a new mod right now called Ghost Recon 2001. For now it only have the first mission, but made on it's own map. You got 4 objectives in the mission. 1: Clear out Militia camp. 2 Eliminate Bakur Papashvili. 3: Collect Intel. 4: Get to the extraction point. The mission will end once these tasks are completed, it can be played in Solo or with up to 20 players. An arsenal crate is provided at the spawn point for usage of custom weapons. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5E0E6298EE9FF558-GhostRecon2001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But cant test it right now, I live far from my pc. Still, someday...I wonder , if there will be single player in A4, will devs give us campaigns ? Would love to play old Cold war crisis campaign, extended, with new features and options..something to dream about I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spent most of my hours in conflict or similar type multiplayer game modes in prior armas. SO I am right at home with what is a Arma 4 Tech demo focus being on multiplayer, rather then a singe player campaign. So for me my priority for confidence for future of A4 first and foremost is seeing the game be stable enough to support at least 64 player servers, if not 128. But im pretty sure A4 will have single player scenarios even if its not included at launch, IF a3 ALPHA was anything to go by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
