Need help deciding ArmA ii or Operation flashpoint 2

I was just wondering what the pros and cons are for each game. How's the multiplayer community in each game? which one would you say is more realsitic?

I'm kinda leaning torwards ArmA II but I want to hear the opnions from you guys first

I'm mad at ArmA 2 for never dropping the prices. The game is still $50! For $50, you could get Bad Company 2 Limited Edition. But if it's truly between ArmA 2 and OFP2, ArmA 2 is the better game. KHAndAnime

Well what would you rather, the greatest military sim ever made or a crappy console fps?

Yeah the United States and Australian Army use an enhanced version called Virtual Battle Station (VBS), it has more features and greater realism. There is now VBS2 which uses the ArmA 2 engine.

Buy Arma 2 if you're looking for a highly realistic military sim with great multiplayer.

Buy Flashpoint 2 if you're looking for a semi-realistic action game with great singleplayer.

That is not right.

VBS1 is based on the same engine as Operation Flashpoint: CWC/Res/Elite and it is called Real Virtuality 1.

VBS2 is based on the same engine as ArmA1 and is called Real Virtuality 2.

ArmA2's engine is called Real Virtuality 3.

And as far as I know VBS stands for Virtual Battlespace and not Virtual Battle Station, thats what the official site says anyway.

:lol:

Good one

OPF2 is more like GRAW. Just kinda realistic, basically an average FPS but realistic.

Arma 2 has a as realistic as possible aura, more of a sim nature, you can do some strategizing and not just the usual tactical approach.

ARMA2 by a long shot. OFP2 was one of the most dissapointing games this gen.
