Arma Reforger dropped a new tutorial on the experimental branch, and it may just give us some hints to the narrative quality & setting of Arma 4...

tbh I want to see Arma 4 just slowly make every system more and more in-depth: Tanks like GHPC, Planes like War Thunder, Weapons like Tarkov, Medicine like ACE, CQB like Ground Branch, etc etc (Destruction? Ground deformation?). I know it's not going to release with all that, but I care a lot more about that stuff than I do new assets/campaigns.

I for one love the Cold War period and the alternative history of a NATO/Warsaw conflict, but if they’re going for that, BI better make it epic! No fighting over just a few patchy peripheral islands. The main stage would need to be central Europe and be sweeping in scale

[OksmanTV]

Cold War is definitely the best, balance wise. However, modern setting is good enough because we are not asking for a full game really those who are veterans of Arma. What we need is core features that allow modders to breakthrough and create amazing things. All we need is a platform and say for example a WW2 setting would have no reason to get missiles or radar or all these features in Arma 3, we need as many features as possible and our modders will stretch the ERAs from gunpowder to Warhammer. Hope I don't get too old before we get a chance to play!

Arma 4 should have been modern or near future IMO. But with the capabilities of the mudding community even folks like me who wanted that experience are sure to get it in Arma 4.

[PointThirtyAirsoft]

Dang, I was hoping it would continue the Arma 3 story

[vt]

I think Arma 2's setting was the best, not too futuristic like Arma 3 and not too old like OFP cold war (edit) or reforger.

nice video, just bought the hame today and it was definetly a good purchase

To me, they need to introduce server meshing to arma 4, as a smaller scale experience compared to the tittles that are trying to do this tech, arma would be able to have more complex things happening if is not just one server dealling with everything.

[pjohns]

I really wanted them to do a modern setting with their new engine. But I can live with the Cold War for the story. What I really need them to add is Cold War era jets and proper hotas support to Reforger please.

Snow runner physics in arma would be awesome to see

This video is so grounded and informative, thanks man !

I thought about your video again. By coincidence I stumbled upon Fehmarn... not in the context of Arma 4, but it would make sense in Arma 4.
Fehmarn is one of the biggest German Islands, it was a western German island, close to the border to the GDR. The Island was quite an important post for the observation of Warsaw pact forces in the Baltic sea, and every Soviet ship would have to pass Fehmarn to get to the north Sea. At the same time, Fehmarn was an important transit point for NATO forces to cross from and to the Scandinavian countries, Norway and Denmark. So it would have some strategic value.
By this, Fehmarn it it's full size would be a bit smaller than Altis was in Arma III, and it would fit completely 1:1 into the world of Arma 4.
There is a land connection to the south with a bridge, which could also be part of the map, if you do it cleverly, or this could just be left out, and you could pretend Fehmarn was just an isolated island. But this would diminish it's role for the need of NATO forces to transit.
The island itself isn't very remarkable, in the 80s it wasn't densely populated. Less than 10.000 people on the whole island. The biggest town had about 6000 people. For Arma still quite big, but might be possible to put it off, especially as many buildings were very similar. If would a website of the B-plan-services online, which probably stands for "Bebauungsplan", and you can not only check for the plans of which buildings stand where, but there are also dates on the plans with changing notes for most areas, so you can check which buildings were added when. And Fehmarn grew steadily since the 80s and the end of the cold war, with a lot of tourism and hotels since then.
On the other hand, the countryside is boring, most of the island is covered with fields and meadows, lots of farms and small villages. One slightly bigger town with 6000 people. Very few wooded areas, coats and roads. Not a single true forest. Barely any hills, the island is almost completely flat.
I guess it could be pulled off, although not for its interesting countryside, but definitely for the setting.

I'm totally up for the cold war setting... I would prefer an Able Archer leads to a hot war in fall 1983 scenario, but it would be possible to mod this, if Bohemia just makes a game about a remote island...

[ItsPapaEddy]

I’m very appreciative the bright Arma to console finally. There’s been such a drought of good shooters for so long

[TheDabKing]

So excited to wait 2 years for the arma reforger DLC called arma 4

[Nacjo_Farmer]

I was hoping for modern times with US and Russian armies but Cold War is also ok because from US and Soviet assets modders will be able to build many modern NATO factions and post-Soviet/Middle Eastern countries based on them

[FishRepair]

Arma 4 being set in both coldwar era conflicts as well as modern would totally make sense. Making Reforger only one half of Arma 4 with all the code to iron out

[callum]

I would prefer arma 4 be in a modern setting, but the Cold War would have been my 2nd choice

[yak-machining]

The only mode i play in every Arma game so far is editor mode😂 idk its so fun to explore and fooling around

[solonemanuelwhitetigernava]

I prefer arma 4 continues the Arma 3 story or to be set in modern era
