Solo Play

[JayTay]

As the title suggests I am mostly a solo player, I spent alot of my time in ArmA 3 making custom factions and then having a battle, so mostly just goofing around with the editor. I'm just curious if I could do same with this game, the engine upgrade looks great and I'd like to play it but again I'd mostly wanna just mess around with an editor and do my own stuff.

I think they said we can't control the AI.

See thats fine to me, could you just make a battle or something and participate as just another guy in it?

I think you can, just have a skirmish or something, but i like you are searching for answers.

Yes you can play gamemaster mode have a.i fight each other and take control of any soldier, sadly a.i cannot drive yet so its mainly infantry only battles.

[JayTay]

That wouldn't bother me, another question can you customize soldiers with different gear like in ArmA 3? I see theres mods and I liked giving troops different guns or gear to be lke different nations, is it the same here?

[Mr_Cossack]

I haven;t found a way to give existing soldiers gear unless you take control of them and manually equip the gear. There are mods you can download that add new factions tho such as Chinese troops with their own guns, so i assume there is a way outside of the gamemaster mode.

Interesting, final question is there a waypoint system like in 3? Y'know to give the soldiers kinda basic objectives to reach.

[Mr_Cossack]

There are basic waypoints you can give a,i groups, such as walk,run to location, search and destroy and defend. There is a mod that adds a cycle waypoint so that you can set up patrols.

ohh alrighty, looks fun with the different factions i've seen on the mod page.

There is no mission editor, so you would be limited to the Gamemaster game mode. GM would allow you to do some very basic ground infantry skirmishes.

Compared to Arma 3, this is extremely basic, and very limited, and would likely get boring very quickly.

Yea for solo players who want PvE, Reforger has much too little on offer, not even a working save feature yet.

Yeah, that's why i'm holding up and sticking with Arma 3.

There's no way to navigate either. You get a map without any player markers, so you have to figure out for yourself where you think you are on the map.

I get that some like that, but I think it should be optional instead of being forced.

I mostly mess around the HAL mod on ArmA 3 with custom factions like I said, it keeps it interesting but if I wouldn't be able to do something remotely similar with reforger then I should probably hold off huh?

I don't think you would be happy with reforger, for very long before it got boring, but I guess you could get it, try it out, and refund it if you don't like it.
