Excuse my ignorance but..

[idk]

Is this game what Arma 4 was supposed to be? I've played Arma 3 a lot over the years but lately stopped waiting for Arma 4 (hopefully). I've seen this in the past but now I got the time to look into it.

Arma 4 at time of typing this out is stated to release in 2027, that's the official word, whether it will not not is anyone guess, depends on how cynical you are feeling.

Reforger is not Arma 4, is never going to be Arma 4 and at no point has it ever been stated as being anything other than a teaser of what Arma 4 will be like. It is a live testing environment for the engine and the mechanics / systems, most, if not all of it will be used in 4, including the assets, but no Reforger is very much it's own thing, think Arma 3.5 at best ... more like 3.3 imho.

But is it anything like Arma 3 in gameplay, in terms of game modes? Such as King of the hill, or scenarios, or wasteland?

Arma 3, and reforger are very different, most of the game modes in A3, are not in reforger.

King of the hill and wasteland are in Reforger aswell. The main game mode is conflict. Reforger also has scenarios but I didn't play them so can't comment on it. As far as the mods go Reforger has quite a lot of mods but can't compare to the number of mods Arma 3 has. Modern combat mods such as W.C.S. and RHS are pretty good in Reforger.

Reforger is a test with which they try out their new game engine built for Arma 4 and further future projects. Haven't played Arma 3 but from what I hear Reforger is a bit more arcady in some game mechanic ways.

I bought it in the end, I loved Arma 3 game modes and so far I like Reforger too. I'm currently just trying to work out how to use Lossless Scaling with this so I get slightly better fps.
