Finally it gets released!!! This is the mother of all tactical first person shooter/military simulations. This is about as realistic as it gets, I know, I'm in the USMC infantry. I especially love the supplementary missions that allow you to change the course of the main mission you're trying to accomplish! I also love that the editor is so powerful, you could almost create a whole other game from it!

A welcome upgrade to Operation Flashpoint

The Good : Beautiful scenery and graphics, huge map, Join In Play, TrackIR support. User mod support.

The Bad : The AI is still pretty dumb - but can see through bushes and fires with laser precision in some cases. Some annoying bugs are present. They reworked the helicopter flight model so it takes some getting used to.

The Verdict : This is a very worthy successor to Operation Flashpoint. It does require a better video card to really see the visuals in action, but it's worth it. The problems can be fixed through mods or patches, so none are really show stopper bad.

Very real play

Game is more like real combat than any other game lately. Making it drawn out on occasions and very had to get through certain levels.
That being said, that is what also makes the game good at times too.

Armed bust

While the graphics are more up-to-date, the overall game play, storyline, and ease of consumer editing of game specifics is far less than OFP (Operation Flashpoint.)

No editing tools were provided by BIS before or during the release of ARMA. As of this review, the community awaits some form a editing tool.

The only useful upgrade of ARMA is the ability to switch between characters, outside of this, OFP is far superior, even though it is a much older program.

In summary, do not purchase ARMA. It is a waste of $ until a wide range of multiple issues are addressed, and the modding community is up-to-speed, creating their addons to make the program worth playing. By the time this takes place OFP2 by Codemasters should be released, which promises to be backwards compatable with OFP, making ARMA moot.
Save your $$$!!

Great game

This game is very underrated. Very realistic, even better with a few mods. Good graphics if you can run it with everything turned up, but it still looks decent even with low settings. And with a built in editor, and Online play the possibilities are endless. Just go on youtube and look it up. Lots of videos that show what its all about. Or just download the demo and try it.

I purchased this game thinking it would be a great game as a first person shooter but was extremely disappointed. I completed two missions and had no idea how I did it. The graphics are not that good. I was disappointed is the quality of the play and graphics. It is no DOOM or Ghost Recon. I wish I hadn't spent the money on this game.

Not a Good Buy

I recently bought this game. I felt I paid way to much. The graphics are on par with the orginal Delta force. The gameplay is week. Frustrating enemy ai will snipe you from miles away with an ak. Along with many other problems. The voice acting is bad, and the story is weak. Over all only buy if you want a very hard challenge and its in a bargian ben.

Don't Buy this game

This game is bugged out, I downloaded the patch which didn't really help.
My computer is maxed out and up to date and still the graphics in this game were sub-par.

Previous reviews stated this game was the most realistic game out. well ive been to baghdad and in combat your eyes always always move with your sights. there is a "feature" on this game that moves your weapon within your current view is unrealistic and annoying. in my opinion completly ruining the game. it makes you feel like your playing an old shooter from NES days. save your money learn from my mistake.

The worst game EVER!!!!!!!

I was given this lousy game as a gift. So thank God I didn't waste my money on it. This game has more issues than Microsoft. The game has had numerous patches put out already and the darn game isn't 6 months old. I've read literal hundreds of posts on dozens of forums about people with the same problems. Most deal with start up problems and crashes. I've had this game for about a month and have spent at least 3 weeks fighting to just get the darn game to load and start. Graphics are fair at best and the content sucks big time.

Don't waste your money on this lousy game!!!!

I believe this game will go down as one of, if not the biggest failure in gaming history.
