Not a sim, not OFP but good enough for what it is
The good includes large scale maps, an easy to control small squad and easy to use radial menu. I don't mind if that menu is a console import, it is much better than the touch-typing needed for OFP, ARMA. It is limited though and I didn't use half the commands; shame it is not customisable. I mapped the button to activate it to the middle mouse wheel click it became intuitive very quickly and you don't even have to take your hand off the keys, which is good.
The bad includes there is not much going on on those big maps, no lean command, you get a poor weapon choice (I often end up taking the 'Marksman' rifle from a downed enemy when my M16/TV view red dot is not up to it), disappearing bodies and iffy AI (not the worst though). The gripe about the vehicle view does not both me that much although the over-hyped and UNTRUE marketing/adverts does.
I must admit after two playthroughs I was disappointed enough to sell my game on and I bought Arma2 (again...). I just cannot get into that though (I understand what is in it for those who can) and I am going to swap around again now that people are writing extra missions and campaigns. A mod to put a stacked weapon crate on each mission will help no end and if someone can populate the island with good missions and firefights then it will become a real sand box of fun. I found a website with 30 or so new missions and read about a project to re-do it as the Falkland Islands so I will be watching that.
