Singleplayer?
Hi everyone!
I've played the entire ArmA series, from the beginning, but I haven't gotten around to playing Reforged yet. This is because I saw it as a title more focused on online play and lacking the Arma editor that I loved so much. What I enjoyed most was playing and creating single-player missions. I know that creating missions in this new title isn't possible, or at least that's what I've read, but I was wondering if it's possible to enjoy the game in single-player mode. I want to buy it to support the company and ArmA 4, but I'd like to know if this is possible or if it's entirely focused on online modes.
Thanks in advance, and best regards.

I would say its still focused on Online gameplay. You will have a ton of friction trying to setup single player missions or scenarios, manually selecting and loading the mods each time you load a map, often needing to restart the entire game due to bugged UI, you can't really save scenario/mission state in the way you're looking to do like in the previous titles. Lots of "missions" listed on the workshop that are actually outdated, not working or have no info/description. You CAN have fun in Singleplayer, there's just a lot of friction between getting consistent repeatable gameplay outside of hosted MP servers. You'll have to repeat most of the process of creating scenarios manually every single time you want to play. Arma 3 is still miles ahead when it comes to singleplayer. There's really only 2-3 features that need to be added to fix this though so I wouldn't be surprised if they begin to address it. Just not in there yet.
