ArmA vs. BF:2

ArmA requires a much more tactical approach to things. For example, in BF2 you can simply shoot the enemy once he is in your crosshairs, but in ArmA you have to steady yourself and you may even have to adjust the sights depending on the weapon you are using. The attention to detail is greater in ArmA and it makes it less "arcadey" than BF2.

And yes, this makes sniping a bit of a daunting task because of recoil and such, not to mention having to get your aim back on target if the first shot didn't do the job. Add that with ArmA's huge map and you have yourself a tough job :P

i wouldnt call ArmA realistic, inless getting shot 400miles away by one bullet is realistic? and yes i do have the game. but i think BF2 is way better.gamerchris810

400 miles away?, the islands are not that big.it possible to be killed by a bullet from 400 metres away. but not 400 miles

stop exagerrating stuff for god sake

Hmm, while I agree that the AI sometimes can be too accurate (glad that can be changed), I would like to know what exactly isn't realistic in being killed by one bullet from a guy that's, lets say, 500m away? That's a laughable distance for a sniper to kill you, and there's no magic involved even if a ordinary rifleman kills you from that distance. How high do you think would your life expectance be if you show yourself in the open, 500m away from enemy trops in real life? Not long, I can assure you that.

But asking that is probably wasted time as it is to compare it to BF2, they're totally different games. If you're into realistic combat (keep in mind, it's still a game), I can't think of a single way that BF2 is better in. Vice versa, if you like quick arcadish close range action, BF2 clearly wins your heart out of this two games (ArmA probably puts a bullet in it, as you noticed).
