It is a massive RTS with multiple units and tremendous amount of strategies. But when you reach end-game, the fun is sorta gone when you build a Mavor or Yolona Oss or a Paragon. That is of course, if you can survive for that long. k0r3aN_pR1d3

Multiple units? No.... :o

Isn't system shock 2 freeware?

Things that are annoying me about it at the moment would have to be how they totally gimped the puckel guns for some reason, I used to love them. And how they somehow managed to replace the Ottoman Organ gun with the mortar (the model is still the same but it's charactaristics aren't).

I also love how they released the Special Forces content as DLC on steam with bonus units but won't give the bonus units to people who payed moreoriginally for them on release.

i would say OF2 beause it works, not like Arma 2 but if Arma works its fun to play

Works fine for me.

ArmA 2's editor alone is worth more than OF2.

The superior version has been on the PC for years.

Yeah they don't like reviewing games on time.

Well TC which would you prefer? ArmA or ArmA for kids?

If you're looking for the best military sim buy ArmA 2, if you're looking for something else buy Battlefield 2 ($30 for the complete pack on steam).

I'm hopeful that BI will do something with the interface in the expansion coming out soonish. Fanboys of ArmA always say it's because of the depth and because it's super realistic when in actual fact the controls and command interface are needlessly overcomplicated and I don't know about them but I don't see how pausing to enter in commands is 'realistic'.

If anything streamlining the controls and interface would make the game more realistic... after all you don't fiddle around with a mouse and keyboard on the real battlefield (at least to my knowledge) plus getting your head out of the keyboard layout and more into the game would help immersion.

I'm not a fanboy, but you obviously have not played arma2 for long. The command system is perfect how it as and the action menu is required, a lot of scripts rely on it. I don't see any issue with the number system.

I've been playing since ArmA and you only say it's perfect because that's what you're used to. It's far from perfect and so what if scripts rely on it, should the game just never be refined because scripts rely on it? No, they should refine it and force people to update their scripts.

It's not just the command system either, the whole interface is overcomplicated and clunky. I love ArmA and ArmA 2 but i'm just being honest.

kinda reminds me of a mix of BF2 and COD4..
