\"A<\/p>\n

Our Arma Reforger review<\/strong> comes from 450 hours<\/strong> of our own play on Steam, and the verdict is simple: it’s a great team game<\/strong>, with great communication<\/strong> and great action<\/strong>. When a squad is talking, planning and moving together, there’s nothing else quite like it. We score it 8 out of 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is Arma Reforger good?<\/h2>\n

Yes, if you play it the way it’s meant to be played: as a team. Arma Reforger is a military sandbox on big open maps, and its best mode, Conflict, puts dozens of players on each side fighting over a whole island. Running off alone gets you killed. Working with a squad, with a plan, is where it shines.<\/p>\n

Why is Arma Reforger such a good team game?<\/h2>\n

Communication<\/h3>\n

Communication is everything. With in-game voice and radio, you hear your squad leader call out contacts, a driver ask who needs a lift, and a medic shout for cover. Good servers feel like a real unit, and that teamwork is what makes Arma Reforger so rewarding.<\/p>\n

Action<\/h3>\n

The action is tense and often spectacular: helicopter insertions, convoys rolling across fields, firefights through villages and long-range shootouts on open hills. Because one or two hits can drop you, every push feels risky, and every win feels earned.<\/p>\n

Is Arma Reforger still being updated?<\/h2>\n

Yes. Bohemia released Update 1.9 on 5 November 2026<\/a>, with a big vehicle simulation overhaul, racing wheel support, clearing bushes with a shovel, magazine repacking and canteens, alongside the paid Rally DLC. See our Arma Reforger 1.9 guide<\/a> for the full list.<\/p>\n
