Arma 4 | Six AWESOME Features I REALLY Hope It Gets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2024
- Arma 3 has been around for 10 years. The next installment in the series, Arma 4, is due in the next couple years. What features will be included? In this video I list out some of the features I really hope get included.
I don't know much about game development, but I do know it is complex, exhaustive, and requires a community to support it in order for it to be successful. I'm backing Bohemia Interactive all the way, as they've given us 20 amazing years of Arma.

At this point I just hope an arma 4 comes out at all
It’s on its way!
Do we have any sort of timeframe? Is it close like a year or many years away?
Year(s) plural

Eden editor should be the gold standard for all tatical shooters.
This is probably not a hot take but I loved the campaign and would love to see NATO make a combat and if possible expand on kerrys story I personally feel they can still add to it with the way they left it
i agree it would be nice to hare from him again in someway
I so agree
i am also one of the rare ppl who enjoyed the campaign. i'd love to see them build on that with better AI and a it more of an immersive experience.
Itd be really cool to see some mechanic mods tgat go for realism, like AI surrendering at random when in a bad spot
There's plenty that do that type of thing.
@@verrico7536 any examples?
@@pillyphilly6973 script
@@pillyphilly6973hors de combat, my unit uses it in our ops. The Spearhead CDLC also introduced its own version of the mechanic.
@@pillyphilly6973DCO Soldier FSM does that, adds a fair few things like units surrendering and panicing for the ai and is actively being worked on im pretty sure
I’d like to see more cinematic friendly features. Like more intuitive ways to do UnitCapture and things like that to make it more accessible to people who want to make movies, shorts, music videos etc.
Yes!! Also I personally would love GCAM but an official version. Ha! Only reason I’ve not started making a lot of Reforger content.
@@Viper1Zero gcam is one of the best mods out there. Love making cinematic.
Your suggestion about the editor is SUPER SIGNIFICANT. I am literally that player who opens Eden, drags/drops custom mods for a temporary scenario that i built in my head. Customize weapons of good guys, bad guys. Customize exact vehicles. Hell sometimes i go the extra mile and retexture some vehicles with custom camo's to make it even more immersive. Then play it out in combination with zeus and AI. Literally this type of sandbox gameplay needs to persist in arma 4.
#1 Feature: context menu without using mouse wheel
That’s already in Reforger! So it’ll no doubt make it to A4 :)
Good list. Hopefully we will see more use of ships and the sea in Arma4
Agreed Viper @4:55 going on a rescue mission if it a group of hostages that worked for like IDAP you will have more empathy for the outcome. The movie Seven comes to mind as any guy in a healthy relationship wouldn't even hesitate to waste a guy who would harm their loved one. And yes...your love of ARMA is one of the bond of getting with your team and having a bond during the mission you play.
drive-able, and land-able warships is an absolute must for the next gen of Arma.
Hell yeah! 🤘
In Arma 3's Eden Editor, there's no built-in feature to automatically place AI units facing the same direction as the editor's view. We have to place the unit and then manually adjust its direction using the attributes menu or by dragging the unit's orientation icon. Some users create custom scripts or use mods to facilitate tasks like this, but the vanilla editor doesn't offer this specific functionality.
I also would like to turn script errors off when playing the game.
My wish would be scale modules, from close quarters combat to RTS warfare, and whatever they can put in between. So you have SP/MP module of the size and the type of combat you want to play, and you are able to adjust it.
Your right about the editor, I have 250 hours in Arma 3, and 200 of those were in the editor.
It’s unlike anything else in the gaming world.
Good to be early for another Viper video. Love all the features and suggestions people in the Arma community have been talking about for Arma 4!
ZEUS needs all of 3DEN's tools to EDIT missions and SAVE missions IN REAL TIME.
I am one of those who play mostly in the editor - because I'm honestly a bit scared to play online. My biggest wish for ARMA 4 and I think they did this with reforger, is that it is not dumbed down to accommodate console players. I honestly hate the interface and how things are prebuilt in game, if you deploy a small FOB from a truck. It looks fantastic but it doesn't feel like a Pc game, more like a port to PC.
sorry, replying to myself, but I would also like to see more varied terrains, especially snow and I agree, Naval assets are lacking. Also, as a Brit, I'd like to see a few more multi- national kit as we all have some unique stuff.
Late reply, but you shouldn’t be afraid to play online. Look for noob servers. A lot of people, like myself, prefer the more casual environment that they bring.
I am also someone who has spent the majority (300/400hours) in the editor. However, my most memorable moments came from breaking out of my social shell and meeting interesting people while crazy stuff happens on whatever noob server I’m on.
Yeah I hate reforgers interface too
yep, them 3d Offline editor is a must... The amount of time we mess around in that thing is just insane.
I really only have a single item on my whish list, and that's the particle fx. The one thing that always really broke my immersion in Arma was the crappy particles. They had barely touched them since the original Arma. I know we got mods like Blastcore which I was really grateful for as at least it did something the eleviate that. But I really feel like Arma 4 needs to make big strides with the particles, especially the explosions in order for it to make sense. To be honest the Reforger particles so far are looking promising, but nothing to write home about.
Just doesn't feel right to have a realistic military sim with whimpy particles. I mean look at a game like Squad. How much more immersive it is simply due to good particle effects. And they aren't even that advanced. No volumentrics or anything, simple billboarding card animations. But they look great. Especially from and infantry perspective.
You’re not wrong! Particle effects I’m sure are at the forefront of QoL features to be included, and I agree they could use a boost! Reforger’s do look good, and there’s already mods created to enhance them. Ha!
These requests need to be in ARMA 4.
The first feature I want is actually the game to come out 🤣
I wish the following from Arma 4: 1) Smoother map grid for terrain deformed. 2) Better net-code supporting more than 250+ players. 3) Live object model editing which allows hiding only a part of an object and its hitbox after a scripted event. 4)More hit zones for units and detachable body parts. 5) Out-of-engine AI control for better civilian lives. Ai-generated NPC dialogs. Animals, men, women, and children do daily stuff in the cities.
Awesome video as usual!
The Eden Editor is a must, out of my 7500 hours in the game, at least 5000 was just in the editor.
sehr informativ, jedes video. danke Viper!!!
I had a dream where Arma 4 takes place in the far far future. They have a futuristic holographic museum/memorial where visitors can roleplay as soldiers in WW3, the most destructive war ever, that's where the gameplay takes place.
I agree with everything here. I wish the AI had more lifelike appearances.Cant they trip over rocks? Run up and jump into a wall? Pass small comments as we walk? Grab a friend so they dont fall off a cliff. There are tons of things they could to make the AI more cinematic.
arma 3 was released like 10 years ago. arma 4 probably gonna come in between 2024-2026.
AI is totally gonna be 999 trillion times better than the arma 3
I just really hope it even comes out at this point
Fluid dynamic movement. Priority , no more jankyness
"Im a man with dreams" -Viper1Zero , best quote ever boy
What I wish you included in the video, for EDEN, I would like to have the ability to be able to co-op in the Eden Editor for Arma 4. Imagine building a mission with 2-3 of your buddies, it would lessen the workload and doesn't require one of us streaming then handing out mission files between us to do things. That be nice.
This is something that ROBLOX does which is cool.
What I want is the ability to do large scale operations, like battalion vs battalion(or even division to corp level) PVP
As one of the people who only play Arma 3 in the editor, I would definitely buy Arma 4 if it had the same style of 3den. One of my things I’d love to see is more dynamic AI too, something in line with the top dogs like VCOM, possibly even better
I’m locking in my money bet now.
Arma 4 is going to be the most casual arma we’ve ever seen
I KNEW I RECONGIZED THAT TRACK SOMEWHERE!!!
Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour
a man of culture.
Virtual reality support top of my list ! All the VR users will be so happy & will purchase for sure as there’s a lack of larger scale vr titles
Interesting fact about having female characters in ArmA, in ArmA: Redundant Title and ArmA 2, there were female voices and faces, and 2 I believe also had models usable in the editor (correct me on that).
However when 3 rolled around, they mentioned how they felt a bit uncomfortable with trying to figure how how to make the uniform system work with possible models, because in the previous games the graphics were low enough you could get away with the same proportions for everybody along with your uniform being one with your character; however, now its 2013 and the detail is noticeable. See the uniform system is basically a model swap, as can be seen with some mods, making it so for male and female characters they would have to worry about 2 different models for all uniforms, and there's already a lot of them with only more added later with the DLCs.
Now it seems reforger is taking a different approach to the uniforms, where it fits flat, so maybe we can get female characters again if they can make it so the uniform can dynamically adapt to proportions, so they only need to make 1 model and texture for the uniforms and the game does the rest.
I can only agree. Good stuff Viper as always
Thank you my friend!
Along side editor, we NEED detailed equipment manager. Just image, you can 3d edit on the fly, uniforms, patches, weapons, separate torso, legs, feet, hands, head, facial features, pouches vests etc. Great vid Viper as always!
Importing A3 missions into A4 is a must!
I'm definitely one of those players who has spent the vast majority of my time in the single player editor, it's been a mainstay of the series since OFP and Reforger really misses it. I get that they're holding off because features are still being rolled out but I'm very eager to get it at some point
It will be great,iam ready for it 😎
Looking Forward to the new Eden Editor
Ambient civilian population would be a major plus. Backwards compatibility with Arma 3 mods would be cool too, but I realise that this isn’t really possible.
I do, the transition from arma 2 to arma 3 is nothing in comparison to arma reforger to arma 4. it's a very smart move, intuitive, conscious move to make sure it attains the features and modding support necessary to have that longevity you speak of. I can't wait for arma 4. Over 4,000 hrs in arma 3 in the editor lmao ! lets go baby
My wish is to have in-game faction creator and artwork tools to improve better
Women and ambient civilians are by far my biggest requests, with maybe a system like Antistasi built in, or at least an AI commander built in.
Woaaah an arma 4 video no wayyyyy
Editor Eden is alpha and omega for me. And thanks to that, I have thousands of hours in Arma 3. But I'm a bit worried if we'll see something like that in Arma 4, when in Arma reforger is missing and there's only Game Master, which is useless to us. I hope that here we will get at least as complete an editor as in Arma 3, including the possibility of scripting.
The game master menu is terrible as well. Anyone that Zeus'd in A3 now goes from a list that shows everything to a menu that is garbage and clunky to deal with.
I agree with you that if Arma 4 is to have any success at all, it will need an editor like 3den. That is because even if I honestly think the new enfusion engine is pretty and has potential, I barely play Arma Reforger because I can't really do (in a timely fashion) interesting missions for my buddies and I to play in. The game master mode is quite limited, and building a co-op mission that might have taken 4-6 hours to build in 3den would take me about a full week's work in their developper tool. I don't have that kind of time.
More detailed weapon customization like Ground Branch
I really hope that Bohemia will implement a good number of features that were introduced to Arma 3 via mods, instead of strictly rely on mods to improve gameplay, even the smallest QoL features. Many games neglect QoL features nowadays and it's really a shame that with so much resources being put to authenticity and realism, the small details (the important ones) are being pushed aside, and then it's really hard to make a request from the devs to develop such details and put them in the base game. I love playing with mods, but many mods can be prevented by simply having them in the base game. Not everything, of course.
Arma 4 will change everything we thought was possible with Arma.
I m a true believer!
We are going to have 100 plus people playing in a single server and a HUGE PvE battle with smooth FPS and ping.
We are going to able to recreate some truly huge battles and conflicts.
Mod manager, the 3rd tab gives you a list of your enabled mods and you can enable and dsable from there
Related to your request for true naval warfare:
A fully functional assault ship, can be an LHD, LHA, or whatever else, I want to be able to conduct a full scale amphibious assault on an enemy held beach
I'd love for Arma 4 to actually use your full system capabilities and not just 40% of 2 cores and 20% of your GPU like Arma 3 does
id personality would love to see more not exactly vanilla servers but servers you can just jump into without the need to be in a unit or have 3 lists of mods that's what has healed me of wanting to get online
For me i wish the server hosting would be easier since nothing has worked to make a server to play with my friends and i would like for the tank damage modules to be more indepth than just very basic hitpoints and well naval stuff as discussed in the video would be really cool aswell
Honestly for me, what I would love to see is, actual caves formed in the terrain, Tunnels, Underground structures. on top of it
I spend my 1,285.4 hours in the Eden editor and playing generated missions 😂
I definitely hope to see more in the way of futuristic gear be it developers or the modders. Not the far future stuff or more realistic things we see today but… kinda what we see in the likes of Black Ops 2 and the original E3 Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Body armor, weapons, etc etc.
I like the standard real world gear like plate carriers and M4s as much as anyone else but it eventually kinda starts blurring. Stuff like the MX rifle and CSAT in general was a nice breath of fresh air in that regard as far as the feel and theme went.
BO2 is a perfect example, honestly. You've got drone helicopters and drone high-altitude bombers, but also your standard QBZ or M1911. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing BO2's tech pulled into a milsim like Arma just because it's that cool semi-futuristic part where everything's familiar yet different.
I hated the 2035 setting
Arma without the editor would not be Arma
Allow aircrafts to be flown using a flight control. Might get more people wanting to fly ground support and transport.
I miss woman and kids in arma 3.
Imagine Doing a Patrol in an afghan Village with kids running around playing, woman cooking within the houses, Men in the village's market and all that. It would feel so much more realistic.
I'd love to see Arma 4 go full toolbox, like instead of it being a near future or Cold War gone hot scenario, it could have a fair amount of content going from WW2 to Near Future with no real campaign (which could be added and expanded later on with DLC) and they let the community make the missions in the editor. As long as a lot of frameworks and systems are implemented at a base level (UAVs, armour, medical, etc) the community will expand on it.
Do I want to make Jagged Alliance style missions? You bet your sweet ass I do
I think most of my playtime at this point is setting up little scenarious in the 3den editor and playing them. If the editor didnt exist i probably wouldn't still be playing.
Thank you 😊 nice video I definitely agree can we have jet ✈️ video what jets will be in the next game
Naval capabilities would be huge. Aircraft carriers destroyers, maybe even subs. Really expand that combined arms gameplay. Let our Naval community really flex
my top 10 list of features i hope it gets :
number 10 - good fps
Realistic Flight Characteristics and avionics like you find with BMS or DCS. If these were added ArmA would be nearly unbeatable in the Sim World!
as I've said since arma reforager came out was this: "i hope arma 4 has native support for vr" the amount of people who would improve their lives by working out for a video game. the other thing about vr is that it adds micro movements that would become a nightmare to have to code up key binds for or remember how to get to a certain stance. Pair that with a disconnected gun (aka not locked to your shoulder) and blind fireing/throwing of ordinance will greatly help the player stay alive and in cover while still being an amazing firefight.
also a base game melee feature would be cool
Unfortunately I doubt that would ever happen. Don't get me wrong it would be amazing but it's not gonna happen. It's not being designed as a VR game so it's not gonna support it no matter how you mod it. Maybe for aircraft, maybe but the VR you're asking for would require an entire rewrite of the game. And this would involve massively reducing the graphics for a game that big
to even be closely playable in VR or for the average PC to run..
I would like a good tutorial for the editor and documentation for what all the functions do.
And VR. I love the flight model, because it is not so ultra realistic, but not totally arcade, and I would love to fly in Arma 4 in VR.
I’ll add to the tighter formation flying by asking for something more all-encompassing: better control over the spacing of the AI, let me control exactly how far apart they are whether it’s 1m or 100m
Not only females but a variety of size, body shapes and mane we even animations is needed.
I mean have you seen Cities Skylines 2 they even have different body shapes now 🤯
Call me lazy but I just want pre-made scripts for my mission making without having to scour the internet
Im someone who LOVES to be in Eden. And one of my pet peeves is that the AI is very very dumb. I dont have the time and patients to try learn how to make missions as specific as possible because most of the time im playing for myself. SO id love them to update the ai to DRIVE and WALK logically. And another thing that would be cool is a blind fire mechanic, or just to make it feel like our characters arent always the #1 trained operator in the world.
I really would like to see female soldiers/models inserted into Arma 4 by default. It's getting to the point where there are females that play Arma, and it would be nice for them to not download mods to play as female characters. Though, I understand that not every female gamer really cares about this, but I feel like it should be implemented and will help with groups who do a lot of RP Ops or just RP in general.
I think one of the main things about Arma 4 is gonna be the fact that communities will not move there quickly until things are rather stable and comparable to Arma 3 in terms of QoL features and just general features.
Even more so when you consider communities such as OPTRE/HALO, StarSim/Star Wars/, 40k, and so on, I have a feeling that Arma 3 will remain alive for a considerable amount of time after Arma 4 comes out.
was that C&C generals GLA them at the end - if so awesome
I would add:
-HAVING BETTER AI and command mechanics (i know there are mods, but that's mainly because the vanilla one SUCKS).
-The possibility of playing all the official campaigns that come out IN COOP.
I've played the main campaigns since Operation Flashpoint 1, and i'm currently playing the one from Arma 3. Specially those 2, i think they have a very awesome development; a good story and universe; and great missions (apart from the broken scripts). And it would be AMAZING to be able to play them with at least another person (that would be the perfect substitute for the poor AI). From being able to do dynamic suppression and flanking; to be able to destroy a tank whenever you need to, fast, without pressing a list of command keys; to be able to efficiently drive/shoot/command a tank, helicopter or plane, and keep formation; to be able to get inside a city and do CQB without waiting on your lost partners. Even doing a lot more efficient ambushes and guerrilla tactics, or grabbing enemies supplies (The East Wind or OF Resistance). And even some of the lonely missions (for example, escape prison in OF 1).
(I could do some of the missions in Operation Flashpoint 1 in coop thanks to a mod, and that's just a much more grateful experience.)
I don't think they would ditch that style of editor they worked in to A3. Doing so would be a stupid decision to make.
My only wish, having an AI voice control system directly implemented from the start.
How to make the same first-person camera when controlling an aircraft like yours? Looks very cool!
GCAM!
I hope the Improved Craters is in arma 4
Weapon stats with actual numbers.
Search and sorting options. There are mods that do this but I wish it was standard. Let me sort by ammo type.
I realy hope arma 4 gets mods implemented in the core game, like cities sky line 2 is doing, ace and other must need mods that make arma 3 what it is today in the vannila arma 4 status.
I hope that Arma 4 can dethrone Arma 3 and they can focus on the things the modding community cant solve like AI and naval capability
I just want it to be modern/future, we really need that, people can make mods for older time frames
Defo an editor. I spend most of my time there in Arma 3.
God I miss making co op missions in the editor..
You realize you can see the mod list of the servers when you browse through the launcher right? And then you can click and join the server it will prompt you to join and load the needed mods and if you don't have some it will download them mods and you can then join. Most people do not know this
next time you make a mod list, you should review PLA armored vehicles pack. It adds alot of new vehicles and just recently they added the J-20 in, and i feel like this mod deserves a spotlight
I'll check it out! Though the last time i did the PLA military was WAYYYYYYY OP. Like, aircraft couldnt get hit by missiles AT ALL lol. I was like OK this is propaganda :D
how about fixing the flopping around on the ground when crawling in ackward positions: inclines, rocks, close to other objects...
Agreed I love arms for its community as well as mods, but my biggest problem with arma is the lack of the ability to jump 😂, other than a graphics update, along with a pre installment of ACE as well as a tutorial on the game, such as a more intuitive version of how to create say a basic mission.
As well as
Better command and control systems to allow easier use of the system as well as creating squads.
Better flight controls such as helicopters power cutting out whenever you’re trying to land.
Vehicle damage systems such as on aircraft’s where you could get engine damage as well as increased survibabiility
Viper - Make a video about kamikaze drones. In particular, there was a cool mod called "Lancet", look at it too !
I spent 400 hours in eden editor
Arma 4 only feature we want :
60 - 120 FPS
I Want the A.I to be able to walk on the deck of a ship...and by the way i have 1200 hours only editor...
I’m sure we’ll be able to once they get ships ironed out!
yeah i would like so much real weapons instead of having to download mods
To include aircraft carriers in a meaningful way you would need a map hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Certainly corvettes, frigates, destroyers, and maybe even LHDs would be workable. I would like to see decent convoys. Mine always end up wondering all over the map to get around each other and then getting stuck. Better AI.
they have to make better AI
I know this is silly but they should start paying people to play on their official servers. I bet it will get a lot of retention and sales. Also have a referral program. Prioritize hires by the reputation of being the best RPers, skilled players, quality content creators.
Would like to see ambient civilians too.
The C&C Generals ZH Music as Background...😅
