Amazing September 15, 2009 Alec L. Fields 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
After re installing the first Armed Assault after not playing for a year or so, i quickly picked up on the control scheme. I forgot just how good it was. Now ArmA 2 is out and i bought it via Amazon and it has been pretty awesome.
Pros:
- Intense Gameplay
- Realistic
- Rewards Patient and Tactical players who have been here before
- Realistic Graphics no matter what settings (pref. High tho)
- Non scripted A.I. allows for a different experience every time you play.
- NO DRM B.S. WITH RETAIL!!! YAY
Cons:
- Requires a power house pc!
- needs Optimization
- If your a first timer, play the boot camp maps to familiarize yourself with ArmA
- Will need patches till the game is up to speed.
Overall Arma 2 is a solid title that will not disappoint. With a long Campaign and Excellent Multplayer and Scenario missions, AmrA 2 will be in your system for quite a while.
An intelligent, accurate, but fun simulator January 26, 2010 Roger Turner 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Arma II is indeed buggy, but playable, and it is even more playable after 5 patches were released. The game is massive, and incredibly detailed. It is extremely re-playable due to its online, mod, and mission/map editor capabilities. The graphics are AMAZING (although difficult for a powerful computer to run) the game is challenging, yet interesting. The weapons and vehicles are well made, the computer player has the highest degree of control over his character than any other game.
I recommend buying ARMA 2!!
the series of operation flashpoint January 19, 2010 Riyadh Alqadiri (ny) just buy this game if u want to play rial war game all its like rial humans and Vehicles and land lives yes its like ofp but whith more updates and will come expasion and now can more update from site of the game
please dont buy (Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising) its not for pc game its for playstation and xbox in pc verry bad game sheme to codemasters for this game to pc
Very enjoyable game February 22, 2010 Christopher L. Crowe (WEST MILFORD, NEW JERSEY, US) I play many Military games and have found this is the best realistic teamwork game ever.
It is not a quick play game. You need a few hours to experience the full effect of the game.
For serious military Sim gamers this is highly recommended.
Best War Simulation April 27, 2010 R. Logan (Chicago) This is a war-simulation pc game. What men & women in the Armed Forces witness & experienced are rolled into
this sim-game.
PRO:
- lots of controls, no restrictions, can hop over waist-high fence, lean-peek, 4-level of difficulties,customization, etc
- lots of missions = lots of replayability, lots of mods to enhance further the experience from discerning gamers since Operation Flashpoint
- very active modding communities, suggest going to [...] and become a member, get A.C.E. mod and look for Six-Updater for ARMA to look for updates for your A.C.E. mod.
- lots of choices in weapons, vehicles, terrains, time of day can be altered, sounds (most realistic weapon/bullet/vehicle sounds in any video game)from actual weapons/bullets/vehicles vs Hollywood infused sounds,i.e CODMW-series
- beautiful environments ( more can be added with mods)
CON:
- heavy pc requirements not just videocard but CPU also (see specs) I get 26fps on day maps 17fps at night (unless I overclock my CPU to 3.6Ghz, then I get a 20FPS) at all high-settings
- out of the box needs updates (suggest getting ACE mod also), you'll have a negative experience right away if you don't update first
- controls can be overwhelming at first, but doing the tutorials will get you there eventually...after all, the game already skipped the 4-6months bootcamps.
- doesn't come with a marriage counselor and baby-sitting services
My Specs: Win7Pro 32-bit/ ABIT IP35 Pro v1.1 BIOS v.16beta09/ Intel C2D E8400 Batch Q748A223 3.0-3.6Ghz /Xigmatek HDT-RS1283/ 4GB Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5DHX 5-5-5-18 1.80V ver4.1/ CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W/ CM Stacker 830SE/Creative Labs Fatal1ty ProGamer/ Sapphire Radeon HD 5850/ Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW-HC
Again, suggest making friends at [...], be courteous, be humble, donate and download some mods, try for a month before trying another one. The mods to get are the A.C.E mods and it's components. Ask a friend with high-speed connection to download for you. Then get [...] and let it run overnight. It's worth every wait.
