Reforger vs Squad

[Jet Fuel Does Not Melt COVID]

In Reforger you work on a team of people who play for objectives

In Squad you work with a team of people to coordinate the capture of objectives.

Reforger has bigger maps and more detailed graphics and customization of character look.

Squad has less glitches.

In Reforger people constantly forget the enemy is listening to their freq and openly give out operational information.

Not possible without hacks in Squad.

Admins of both games do their best.

One is realistic, one is not.

Squad is over complicated for the purpose to be over complicated.


- Random advance and secure is not random at all
- Game is focused around the Squad leaders and they are ones who make or break the game
- It is never optimized. it runs great on some maps, and it is horrible on some others
- There are no doors
- If you enter in a building all the rooms are empty with 4 naked walls
- Gun play and movement are wooden
- Only community servers
- You and and your friends are unable to join in as a party, so it can take an hour until you are in the same server, on the same side, in the same squad with (lets say ) 4 other friends.

ARMA Reforger is far more elegant game in therm of design and features.
it can be many experiences including Squad, but Squad will never be an ARMA Reforger.

ARMA 2/3 > Reforger - Squad < Battlefield.

I cannot be arsed to piss about writing out what this means so you can figure it out for yourself, the point is, they are more alike than people want to admit.

I SEE THE SIMILARITY :D but the difference is arma has all its sim aspects that it does extremely well/mods that completely change it :3 the way i see it...

arma reforger = arma 3 with QOL and good optimization :)

i got like 1.2k hours in squad and the vehicles just suck ass. i take the realistic damage model any driving any day over the clunky ♥♥♥♥ in squad.

SQUAD has properly functioning hitreg. Reforger cant offer that currently. But SQUAD sucks massively at what it was supposed to be. So I would still see reforger ahead.

This. AR has messed up the basic fundamental of ANY milsim - the hits actually landing. In fairness, AR is just a tech test rather than a game. Bohemia have openly stated that it has no future.

tbh hitreg problems only really happen on garbage servers with bad server FPS. stuff like WCS feels pretty good.

Some interessing stats regarding game population, as of early March 2025...

- Arma Refoger has 10 000 PC players on average, 19 000 recent peak.
(discarding console players)

- Squad has 12 000 PC players on average, 21 00 recent peak.

- Hell Let Loose has 7 000 PC players on average, 17 000 recent peak.
(discarding console players)

- Battlefield 1 has 16 000 PC players on average, 38 000 recent peak.
(discarding console players)

So we can assume that Arma Reforger is, as of recent, a direct competitor of Squad and Battlefield 1 since the PS5 release. Because PS5 gave "manpower" to vanilla servers.
