Well well well, we've come full circle. Welcome back to more of my stuff Psi. First wasteland, then alits life and now back to wasteland. Thanks for checking it out!
in essence such a simple mod, but so beautifully executed. I had a blast playing ArmA2 Wasteland back in the day, and recently installed reforger just for this mod. I dont enjoy many video games anymore, but this mod brings a smile to my face. Thanks for taking the time to create this gem for us to enjoy and spending the time to port it over to reforger.
Arma 2 RP and DayZ mod were awesome back in the day. Met some cool people and miss a lot of them 10+ years later. This video has re lit my curiosity for the game, thanks PsiSyn!
Spot on with DayZ mod and Wasteland getting people in to Arma, it's exactly that combination that drew me in. Knowing we have Wasteland in Reforger now, maybe I'll try and pick it up soon.
This video felt like the old times, enjoyed the mayhem, that drone thingie was also in Arma 2, remember flying it in Wasteland. Thank you for recording and making the vid ❤
I remember years ago stumbling on a Wasteland server on ARMA2 and at the time it was the only server. There was no independent faction, only blufor (which was mostly US and UK players) and opfor (which was mostly Russians). Honestly the most fun I've had in ARMA, the teamwork and coordination was crazy. We'd have scouts out looking for enemy bases and areas and then we'd lay siege to them for hours. Nowadays most Wasteland servers seem to be just a bunch of independent players playing it like any other team damage or survival game, but I'll give this one a try it looks fun.
Yeah, the Arma 2 Wasteland times hit really different, and it wasn't just nostaliga, I was watching back some of my old series, and there were just so many cool servers with cool team setups going on. This also has mostly indies who really contribute nothing to the overall Red vs Blue base stuff that I like about Wasteland, but I get why they choose to be indie ofc.
@@Psi I think the Indie problem has been exacerbated by the prevalence of private comms and friend groups. Back in the day we'd have a teamspeak server and that's it. And very few people on wasteland had TS for small friendgroups. Only the Man-bird people seemed to play like that back on the old Stalk and Strike. So most people went into gamechat, and the best place for gamechat was on the Blufor and Opfor teams. So it led to better team-based gameplay. Nowadays you just get 2 or 3 man indie squads in a discord and a silent Opfor/Blufor chat. Its fucking sad and I miss the old days.
I have to say, Reforger is in a really good state right now. It definitaly tickles my Arma 2 memories more than Arma 3 ever did. Edit: That BTR looking right at you at 13:06 was just perfect, nearly fell out of my chair
From someone who made the original RPG maps CnR, Crime City, Nogville, SahraniVille - I can tell you that these modes wont be coming to Reforger, its purely designed for milsim on console. Theyre using it as a test bed for ArmA4 Enfusioon, the AI's drastically better but in terms of actual mission editing you cant do that amount of scripting or trigger / waypoints / custom addons. They can barely handle the load of addons their getting and thats nothing compared to what we were used too. Me and my team agreed just to abadon work on ReforgerLife existing, which is ssad but I get why and appreciate it for it is, definitely appreciate the old maps. Like Everon, Kolgujev is coming back, Desert Island is in there, and maybe Malden. 10000% Nogova will be back, best campaign, story and n map made. There's also a few game-modes we couldnt make with reforgers idiotic console focused editorr with game-master and not Eden, so we took ideas from as far back as 2002 and have them being developed into a single game. Twitch/TH-camrs will love it we think, no one else has done it so we thought may as well capitalise on forgotten gems hahah.
Jump back on DayZ, I have just started playing again after like 8 years and it seems SO MUCH better! Sure you already know.. Used to watch you back in the day and gave you my Arma 3 lite keys. Hope you are doing well!
Damn, I remember the old ArmA 2 Wasteland days. One day I was spraying into a bush from top of our base on Alta, and you asked what the hell am I wasting my ammo on 😅
7:15 - on the contrary, if you set it too high, you lose too much peripheral vision while ADS, I personally think it's better to have LESS focus intensity than the default as it helps you keep your surroundings in check while ADS walking. 20% is what I use and if anything requires closer zooming, I just hold right click again to really tell what's in the distance; ultimately, it's better to have two camera angles, one wide and one zoomed for ADSing your sights.
I just meant its insane hype, every game making a BR version, then it being dead now, at least compared to its peak, whereas the other modes (DayZ & RP) both live very strong, just not in their original platforms.
I'm still waiting for that one wasteland server to come back where you could put props on vehicles. Now that was stupid fun being able to put concrete barriers on as armor and having a watch tower up on top of the car
@@WolfyNotCool Looked into it a bit first lewis vid on it "ARMA 2: Wasteland Mod - Series 12 - Part 1 - Pimp My Ride!" and it seems like it isn't a mod just a script.
@milodudeful those were the days. Unfortunately I stopped gaming and role playing with him as well due to work. Still fun nostalgia watching these kind.of vids
I hope they make helis, tanks, & APC/IFVs more accessible like they were in Arma 2 Wasteland- you'd find them just sitting alongside the road. It made playing IND viable.
When arma 3 wasteland servers disappeared I was devastated. Now, the OPFOR who drive into my roadblock at 150 km/h shall be the ones who are devastated.
i loved wasteland in arma 3, its the mod i played the most next to exile on the "good old dayz" server, An exile server that had a modified Exile on Chernarus, it was basically just DAyZ exile in arma3. The server i played wasteland on was the Trailerpark server on Stratis. The community and culture on the server was great, youd always have a opfor full with ppl that actually communicate to try and hold the Airfield, cause if you dont enemies might be able to buy and get a jet going and then your fucked.
The intro 😂😂😂 i tried this mod out a month or so ago but it was just me and 5 other noobs on blufor getting farmed by skilled independent players. had fun joking around and trying to rat though
@Psi you hammered rounds into that bunker how the guy in there didn't die is beyond me. I walk up to the door and got my wig split hahaha. Love that server
Don't get me wrong, the game is good, but in many ways it would be a downgrade if it was made right now into a "DayZ 2". I know this is a dream many will sell you on, and eventually DayZ 2 will exist, but Reforger isn't as perfect as people make it out to be when compared to DayZ.
How are you doing these days Lewis? I hope you're well. You've had some interesting times over the years and I hope you're doing alright. Can't be assed to watch streams I don't have the time but I always thought you seemed a good lad.
@@Psi I understand you. Did not play for a while because of, well life issues, and then if you do not play for a while you tend to forget everything. 😅
It has 91/100 on one server and 80/100 on another RIGHT NOW, if you want to track a server's popularity/peak times, use Battlemetrics. The server was pretty full most of the day.
Hours and hours of driving a truck around to pick up boxes of weapons, to take them back to the base we had built for the team, that was destroyed daily. Rinse, repeat.
If your down to play with some brits on Friday night we all will jump on and play we’ve been playing for the last 2 months brings back a lot of memories of wasteland on arms 3 and 2 for me
@@Psi I swear it was either you or a really wild Frankie video. But I’ve seen this thing used in a2 so I hopped on the server and found it back then, was the most fun vehicle ever 😂
Well well well, we've come full circle. Welcome back to more of my stuff Psi. First wasteland, then alits life and now back to wasteland. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for making a great mod!
great server great video
the greatest Arma mod is BACK!!!

@zTonicz love that server, keep up the great work
brings me right back to the old days. gotta bring back the one life. love you lew lew
We need a 36 player elimination mode that works like koth
@@Santa_Fe_Slim Ive been waiting for a KOTH mod to come out already it was always popin in arma 3
Arma 2 RP and DayZ mod were awesome back in the day. Met some cool people and miss a lot of them 10+ years later. This video has re lit my curiosity for the game, thanks PsiSyn!
Big fan of that intro.
PSI!!! We played together on this server! Glad to know that was actually you! - Lawson143
bro just seeing the pod drone takes me back to arma 2 so happy
I knew i wasn’t crazy lol was somewhere in my memories long ago
I am 2 months late with covering this mod, but better late than never!
This mod brings back good memories from Arma 2 ❤️
That's what she said 😜
I have missed you so much ❤️😁
Man, that's nostalgic. Tried it out myself and it was quite fun. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing you play more Wasteland, like the good ol' days.
Spot on with DayZ mod and Wasteland getting people in to Arma, it's exactly that combination that drew me in.

Wasteland was my Jam in Arma 2 and Arma 3. Looks like I might be hopping on Reforger soon. Letsgo!
Defo worth a shot!
Yes it's 100% worth it, the features in reforger make it very unique. If reforger is a taste of Arma 4, then we are eating good in 2027
Is there Chernarus or Namalsk?
Loved DayZ Epoch, on some servers it was like wasteland with zombies
I'm 24 in 5 days but I feel 13 again watching lewis play wasteland.
I've been waiting a long ass time for this.
Finally it's here!!!
Love the vids man! Keep em coming :)

The drone is from Arma 2, the Ka-137. Loved that little weird thing. In Arma 2 you had to "get in" it as well lol
Lol what a game
I never had it in our servers I think the mods banned it for some reason.
Brings back memories, would be fun to watch this on stream.
IPHONE LEWIS HERE . Sorry had to
iphone lewis here 😆
I have to say, Reforger is in a really good state right now. It definitaly tickles my Arma 2 memories more than Arma 3 ever did.

Finally some good content on YT!
Jesus Christ this has taken me back to arma 2 days I hadn’t thought about it since ✌🏻
This is actually fun on Reforger! Hope that more Wasteland videos are on the horizon.
Almost 100k views mans channel is thriving 😎
GREAT VIDEO PSISYN INCREDIBLE!
ohhhh my god, a flood of arma 2 wasteland memories just hit me watching this ahah!
The intro 😂😂

when the tank looked at you for ages i really thought you knew he saw u xD
I was more of a Epoch mod fan myself, but I am glad to see Wasteland as well.
The nostalgia this video gave me, reminded me of the saving pandi days and the survival games
Holy fuck i didnt even realize this was lew lew lmao, wow this brings me back
helo
Damn been so long since I watched you play wasteland loved watching you and Rush, hope you've been doing well brotherman

The intro is hilarious
Definitely going to have to download this mod.

We need more! Bring back Lewis the Wasteland Destroyer
Haven't watched you in ages, oh the flash backs to the su1cid3 vest videos
it's ok, you can say that word out loud XD
Feel like I’ve just woke up on a beach with a makarov. A Lewlew video popping up on my home page?
It did? Does TH-cam no longer dislike me?
@@Psimust be that mixed with reforger popping off, third video I’ve had pop up for it in the last couple of days, think it’s out on PlayStation
@@SeanFerrol yeah it came out on PS5 like 2 weeks ago, alive game at long last, only took almost 3 years of it being out xd
When arma 3 wasteland servers disappeared I was devastated. Now, the OPFOR who drive into my roadblock at 150 km/h shall be the ones who are devastated.
Just pretending that very risky misfire didn't happen I see 9:45 definitely cracked me up
I used to admin for 404games in arma 2, and wasteland was the fucking bread and butter, used to end up being the staff team vs everyone :)
Prime upload time, siweL
Great vid
This makes me excited for Arma 4.
Pretty sure some kind of "drone" like that was in Arma 2 aswell

0:14 famous last words
PsiSyn ARMA video
Takes me back to the days of Psi and his squad abusing the servers they ran. Killing people in safezones and such. What a time to be alive.
what servers that we ran lol?
2:15 said the name of my favourite band lol Guns & Houses
I'm confused so if the 2 main teams are allies is it just 2 big armys vs solos and small squads etc?
Old school memories, bro.
I don't know...that driving seemed legit to me :p
The ACOG also isnt scuffed. You're meant to use the fiber optic cable to aim over the scope.
When did I say otherwise :P
i remember that last battle when you guys showed up with the tank lol
Pretty rough use of that vehicle from me lol.
@Psi you hammered rounds into that bunker how the guy in there didn't die is beyond me. I walk up to the door and got my wig split hahaha. Love that server
@@primigen tbh the bunker is kinda deep, especially if they are sitting all the way in 1 of the 2 back rooms there
@Psi that's Tru but some are just a room but they are deep. I should have been way more alert haha

im good man hope ur fab too x

i used sit on hills and lock onto bicycles 10km away with stinger missles xD

when the mags are on your person, you can drag and drop them on top of each other to repack them
Is that vanilla?
@@Psi as far as I am aware, yes
7:21 you can hold right mouse button to zoom in to 100%
Hopefully this helps you. 😊
really?
@@Psi yes try it out next time. While zoomed in into the scope of the weapon, hold right mouse button. Workes with almost all scopes. 😊
@@klausmalzbier will do, thanks, I guess I forgot how to play Arma, because I feel like I knew this but also didn't clearly lol
@@Psi I understand you. Did not play for a while because of, well life issues, and then if you do not play for a while you tend to forget everything. 😅
What time do people usually get on wasteland. It's always pretty low on players
It has 91/100 on one server and 80/100 on another RIGHT NOW, if you want to track a server's popularity/peak times, use Battlemetrics. The server was pretty full most of the day.
How long do these matches last? Or is it an always online server and missions just keep respawning?
Just until restart, which I think is every 12h?
Most dayz intro ever!
we are so back!
You should check out the Metro server. Its still a WIP but they have tunnels and an 60% completed surface area.
Signed up to it yesterday, will check it out
is there an exile mod yet?
Hours and hours of driving a truck around to pick up boxes of weapons, to take them back to the base we had built for the team, that was destroyed daily. Rinse, repeat.
xd
Awesome video! New series perhaps???
People be building huge bases it’s fun af.
lol no way I was in your squad too xD
Did you get any dirty loot?
no :(
I might have to pick up Arma reforger now
It's pretty good, you can find all servers on Battlemetrics (the website) if you wanted to scout out what kind of servers/pop there are before buying.
Let’s play the full release has this game buzzing amazing
If your down to play with some brits on Friday night we all will jump on and play we’ve been playing for the last 2 months brings back a lot of memories of wasteland on arms 3 and 2 for me
Or, play as Civilian and always be on edge about the location of your friends that you cant remember the loudout of.

I'm gonna have to get this mod

Did you not at one point play with someone called Nicholas Twinkeltoes on Lakeside RP? Or something like that atleast
Probably, cannot say I recognize the name, the surname yeah, but a few people had that surname.
this does seem interesting.
What and intro that was 🤣
NO WAY NO WAY
