ArmA 2

[SoldierX77]

I was wondering what your guys' opinions were on this game. I've played the demo, and I like it a lot, but with the release of the new ArmA 2 game, ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead coming, I wasn't sure if I should get the First ArmA 2 game. I like the fact that it's big, it has multiplayer, it's realistic, and is a sandbox game. If I were to get both, I would need to wait until Christmas, but sometime next week I'll need to ask my dad for a 5770 Radeon HD ATI, because I currently have an outdated 4800, and I can run it well, but I would like to run it better! About how long is the campaign, and how long does the game still keep interest with online multiplayer, and just roaming around doing fun stuff? I would enjoy your opinions on the game, because I'm debating weather or not to get the game obviously, and my mom just put ALL my money in my bank account, that's right, I don't have a single cent in my wallet, all 9 grand is in my account, it sucks, but I can take some out if I need to. xD

- Thanks.

I know this is a bit of a late reply, I would start off with just the origional one. If you like it then get Operation Arrowhead. I would love to play with you if you get it, I kind of want to get a realism server up and running for just eGO guys.

Arma 2 has a great concept and dedicated community but it lacks in almost area and the communitiy is trying to fix it but it lacks so much my last hope is in PR:A2 but that is a long shot

Yeah, it is a good game. The voiceacting just makes my ears bleed. Also, HD 4850/4870 to HD 5770 is not an improvement. Not much anyways.

Well I did get the Combined Operations, and it's great. I played the tutorial from the first one, and then played the second one, there was actually a big improvement, the controls were much smoother, more guns, everything seemed better.

Everyone views things in their own way. They could be speaking chinese and I would still love the game ArmA 2 (for me) is the best mil sim available. If you want realistic tactical gameplay you can't beat ArmA, if you like simplistic and arcade style gameplay go for call of duty (why yes, yes I do hate call of duty ). I am also a huge zombie fan and there is an undead mod for arma 2 wich is quite awsome arma 2 has a lot of options with mods and such, which makes for endless fun. But I will agree that the voice acting sucks, it doesn't bother me but it sucks xD. The only reasone it sucks is because unlike a predictible game such as call of duty things happen randomly so instead of recording "rifleman north at 500m" it was "Rifleman. North. 500m" or "Unit, Location, distance.". If they didn't do it like that there would need to be no voices or it would take them years to record all of that, because mind you they had to record it in many many diffrent voices since just 1 voice would sound really really stupid. I guess that's my view on the game I really want to get a group of eGO guys to play on a server where we can do tactical stuff and such. There are only a few tactical servers and, well they are all pretty much all run by jerks :/
