Crossplay Is the End of Arma

[Taka]

Arma 4 will Never Ever be close to Arma 3 if they continue with Crossplay.

Cross play is gonna save Arma how many people knew what about Arma was before 2012 then DayZ comes out and boom Massive influx of Arma Players with out DayZ Arma 3 might of not Succeeded and I love Arma 3 a lot But I wish I could experience it with my friend who works 4-close all the time and he's Poor like me and cant afford a PC not without Saving and on a Wim(XBOX) I Decide to play Reforger was just sitting in my Library bought it a year ago wanted to check it out and see what they added, I ended up playing it then my buddy was watching me play it and now we can play buts its cool if cross play is the end of Arma when it literally made it so me and my friend can both play Arma together with Mods only problem i have is they need a Better Workshop and to add cursor for Controllers cuz my god its frustrating navigating the menus with a controller and the game is a test bed for Arma 4 i knew what i was buying and i review and look up ♥♥♥♥ before hitting the purchase button Arma with Cross play is going to be the Future and I'm all for it not many people knew what Arma was about before DayZ mod then with Reforger more people are going to be introduced to the Series and its healthy for the game Arma 3 Has like 10k people rn where reforger has 16k PC players without taking account for cross play i just cant wait for People to start porting A2 to AR i miss my Venom Huey but I'm not here to say who is right or wrong just throwing my 2 cents

once the new battlefield comes out, most of the players will flock to that and leave the actual OFP players in peace. i can't believe i'm actually excited for a DICE release post-2006

Arma 3 might not have succeeded...LoL

Arma 3 is just fine, in fact, even though it's almost 12 years old, it still regularly has 10k-20k players.

The Arma series doesn't need crossplay to "save" it.

If I buy it on PC I'll be happy to help balance that out.

I think one interesting thing about Reforger (and present to an extent in Squad, ARMA 3, etc) is the low bar for entry. If you don’t have the ‘twitch’ skills to run and gun, you can just run supplies and build bases.

I don't see how accepting the concessions this game has made so far for the console audience as good for the series. Making Arma worse for a hypothetical player base that has zero existing milsim players does not seem like a good long term strategy.
I sure hope the terrible state of the map editor isn't a sign of things to come for Arma 4. The workshop alternative doesn't inspire confidence as well.

You have to understand that the primary goal of the new engine is to make all their games multi platform, so they can tap into the console market.

BI does not care about any of the adverse effects making the Arma series multi platform, they only care about entering the console market.

I'll say what others will not. Console players tend to take it less serious. What I mean by that is talking in platoon chat constantly, TKing, griefing supplies, immaturity. Im fairly new to Reforger and I can tell immediately when I get on a server full of console players based on behavior alone.

One long sentence... definitely a console player.

Worse thing they ever did was letting console players get on. They come raise hell and either get booted or get kicked out.

The guy that says cross play will save ARMA has no PC.Has he ever heard of ARMA 3 and the amount of servers STILL generated in that steam game? Apparently they want to add cross-play to ARMA 3. Go ahead kill that game too. You know you are dealing with 10 year old kids with girly voices team killing you and they are unlikely playing on a $4000 to $5000 dollar computers. And if they are playing on dad's account getting banned they will surely regret it.

Consoles just wont be able to handle a big detailed map, with every type of military weaponry you could think of and they all have workable and usable animations.
I understand they want more players and money but i think its a HUGE sacrifice.

PS5 has computing power of an average middle tier PC. But, since it is a console, and they all are the same, Bohemia can actually optimize Reforger specifically for PS5. Unlike on PCs, where it is very hard to optimize very complex software to run, at least somewhat good, on 10.000 different possible RIGs.
And, if you say that “RTX2070 and 16 GB of RAM is not enough to run Arma Reforger”… Than you admit that Reforger is extremely poorly optimized. And that it cannot run on the majority of gaming PCs. And sucks both for studio, because less people buy and play, and more people refund the game that doesnt work on their RIG.
So much for trying to dunk on console gamers who also want to play games.
