what score did you give arma 2 and why

at first i gave this game a 7/10 because sim shooter wasnt my type of game and i found it really difficult to play. But never gave up.

After 50 hours of gameplay through the singleplayer campaign. I was mind blown by how much fun i actually got out of this game.
Yes this game can take lots and lots of play time to get used to, and to learn most of the controls. Its has a very depth learning curve, but once youve figured those out. the experience is like wow im in a real war! leading my whole army and construct my own base.

Im towards the end of the campaign "Dogs of war" i love commanding and customizing my army and squad. It gives that RTS feel to it. Nothing is better than sending 100 troops in helicopters and charging through a town

Throughout all the learning process to successfully capturing towns. I give this game a 9/10

how about you leave you stinking manner in your a-hole? gosh i can't stand bozos like you. this thread is about a pc game, same as every thread in the entire forum. should GS shut the entire place down then?

i had been dying for a real good sim for ages, prob since the last Arma but played the demo online and cant stand how u cant see the people shooting at you cause the depth of field limits what u see at a (not that far) distance. i turned it up and zoomed in and cant see much, it really kills my pc. Oh well ill wait till i get a new one.

I only played the demo, and I rate that a big fat 10. I played a lot of OFP and ArmA, but this one takes the series to a whole new level.

I decided to wait for more patches before getting the full game - but since they've already announced the expansion I think I'll wait for a Gold edition.

everybody should try the 1.04 patch, it has really improved a lot!

how long did you play the game.

I'm not trying to sound biased, but I've introduced about 7 people to this game and they all had your opinion at first. They played the warfare mode with me and after about 5 hours of play in total, they loved the game.

You just have to play it for a while.

How in the world does this game work for any of you? A new patch just came out from what I understandso maybe I would giveit another go, but I was never able to give it a proper go because of all the issues.

What's arma 2 and why should I care?

I am laughing at this thread. Calling someone a toolbag ( I would have called him a douchebag) cracks me up.......especially when it is deserved. I like ArmA 2 and have never had any major issues with it. A couple of minor problems but those were all fixed with patches. The last patch fixed the mouse smoothing which was my only complaint about the game. This is not your average FPS like a COD or a TF2, it takes major amounts of skill, patience and the ability to actually work as a team to play this game with any success. I wont give it a rating as ratings have never meant much too me. You either like a game or you don't.

[ it doesnt really do any simulation, its just very reallisitc without simulating the expreriance right.dakan45

I rated it 10/10. It was all I asked for in an FPS and more.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"] Moving while looking down Iron Sights and hitting a target is difficult. The weight of your whole body effects the gun - itself being heavy. Its not accurate. so the game makes it difficult for you to so in as realistic way possible, by simulating physical weapon movement. - ArmA 2's being much more visual - undoubtably to create a greater sense of immersion from the first person perspective. And no I understand your points, you just aren't very good at establishing them. Hopefully this clears the air for you.dakan45

stop arguing you are wrong and you know it. Have you ever walked the speed they do with a gun to your shoulder? Well I can answer that for you, no, you haven't.

Those are not true, the weapon shake in arma 2 is just a cheap mechanic they designed that has a good realism effect but it doesnt look right, it doesnt give a good sense or immersion in first person perspective, the mark had the exact same weapon movement, i wouldnt say it looked reallistic, more like it was intentionally done just to make you less accurate when moving. I belive that the way the crosshair or iron sight aiming shakes in crysis will be a much better and reallistic way to simulate reallity in arma2, since its the slight moves of your arms that can moderatly decrease accuracy in long range. But in arma 2 it looks like you character is intentionally shaking his weapon left and right "Its kinda funny that they cant hold it steady at all when moving, more like cant hold it in position, but if you stand still its almost immobile, even in long range the scope view is way too steady" So i wouldnt really call it a total simulator.dakan45

Factoring the basics of the weight, and movement involved, it is fine.

And if there was anything incorrect with it, it would have been changed back in 2006, and fixed by the modding community (i.e. look at ACE mod).

ArmA 2 is the best there is to a military simulator. Simple as that.
