SP/2player coop - is there content? maybe a dynamic warfare?

[Sinny]

Title says it all, I'm looking for a SP/coop (2/3 player max) experience, is this game for me?

[Jedra]

Yes, there are scenarios both vanilla and with mods to cater for this. They are not 'cinematic', story based SP experiences like you would see in things like Battlefield or CoD, but more like objective based missions that you can play alone or with others against AI.

Hey! Thanks for the reply.

What about something "dynamic" like a dynamic warfare, attack, capture points, maybe get counter attacked? Is there something like that too or just predefined not very dynamic scenarios?

I'm interested also, I did find a promoted co-op PvE game mode akin to Antistazi last night but only bought the game yesterday so looking to mods and the like.

Let me know how that goes!

ConflictPVERemixedVanilla2.0 is very good, it offers counter attacks, patrols, and from this mod/scenario you can look for addition, personally I play solo on the mod "CO-OP Conflict PVE" which is a "solo/duo" version of this scenario.

I can only recommend using a dedicated server for your personal games. You'll waste an hour setting it up, but you'll have access to your saves.

Sounds good... Any tips when it comes down to setting a dedicated (personal) server? Never did that before. Anything you can share is appreciated.

Yes, two Combat Ops maps - one large and one small.
You and your team spawn with basic weapons and a list of randomly generated missions to complete. It's great fun and I play with a few friends. The game, however, is balanced for around 6 players and therefore quite difficult to finish with a few guys. You might have to play the game over a whole evening, or over two evenings.

We set up a cheap dedicated server for £8.00 here in the UK. We just leave it running over a few days until we finish the mission and exfil.

[Rap/cist]

no.

I followed several tutorials via an internet search.
The process is often the same for Steam games:
Install SteamCMD, then use it to install the Arma Reforger dedicated server.
Once that's done, you need to create two files:
one is used to start the server and tell it to "read this configuration file."
The second file is the configuration file, which contains the server settings: number of players, IP address, scenario, mod, etc.

Don't limit yourself to one site; keep trying if you get stuck on something. If you search carefully, you'll even find software to help you create configuration files. :)

82nd Airborne AnizayPvEConflict sever is what I've been playing on. Pretty good, stable with a active population.

I'm playing https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/617B2ED33DE29156/scenarios

It works well even in single player with AI mates you can command. Bummer is that you can't save your progress (or i have not found out how). Make sure you take a radio backpack so you can respawn on your body.

Arma 3 is much better for this with tons of Workshop single player content with much more variety, settings and options. Reforger is much more limited. For something simple in Arma 3 it's good to start with Dynamic Recon Ops (a random mission generator) that's available for almost every map, including Workshop maps. Meanwhile, in Reforger, you only get that with two maps and almost no options whatsoever.

Yes but the OP is playing Arma Reforger not Arma 3, Arma 3 also isn't crossplay so as and when the OP decides to play multiplayer they will have a more varied pool of players to play with which is a pretty big deal because it's not much of a simulated conflict with 10 players on your team in a PvE server, PvP will never be a problem, but PvE servers live and die based on hoe healthy their player population is.

Also there are only 2 maps with the official version of Reforger, but there are already middle eastern maps and a imported chernarus map.

Don't bring up another game when the OP is asking for advice on this game. Aside from the fact it obviously doesn't answer the question asked, the fact of the matter is that Reforger is a test bed to open the franchise up to a wider audience on console, and having played Arma 2 + Arrowhead extensively for 3 years in a milsim clan and Arma 3 for 100's of hours as a military sandbox, I can honestly say that the smaller size maps are not an issue, 30x30km2 is more than enough and I have never found myself thinking, in my current near 100 hours play time, that the maps are ''too small'' or that they ''should be bigger''.
