Arma/Arma2

I've heard that Arma and Arma 2 are the closest thing to realistic when it comes to fps. Is that true? Anyone played it? If so, what do you think of it?

They're ultra-realistic, unmatched when it comes to FPSs. That being said, they're not for everyone. If you've played other sims before, then you will have an idea how comprehensive they are.

I used to play the old game, Black Hawk Down, and I liked how you had to gauge distance to target (like a real rifle) and adjust your sights to compensate for the bullet dropping. In most games I see now, you don't have time for that because the maps are too small and too much like a sandbox. (COD) Not a true snipers map. In BHD, you had to run for minutes at a time to get to a good positon in the hills on the outskirts of a map but worth it. Plenty of time to plug anyone approaching you. If there was a game similar with dirtbikes that you could ride to a distant location to save time that would be excellent I think. Arma offer anything like that? I heard the maps were huge. Almost forgot, how's the graphics and are there alot of people still playing it?
