Customer Reviews of ArmA: Combat Operations
I can't believe it! Finally it gets released!!! This is the mother of all tactical first person shooter/military simulations. This is about as realistic as it gets, I know, I'm in the USMC infantry. I especially love the supplementary missions that allow you to change the course of the main mission you're trying to accomplish! I also love that the editor is so powerful, you could almost create a whole other game from it!
An old patient OFP player
OK. This is the best mil sim game out there right now. When you have the Australian DF and USMC backing it up as adopters of the military version, namely VBS1/VBS2, it should raise any gamer's eyebrow. The civillian version is this North American release 1.06. There's three areas to be reviewed; the game engine, the missions, and the modding community's contribution.

<
>ArmA: Combat Operations is a modern battlefield sim. that uses a huge map.
<
>Old die hard fans of OFP will pick up all the familiar controls like a duck to water. You can basically fire, drive, fly anything in the game. This time around, there's true vegetation compared to the TRON like hills of OFP, and improved lighting, sound occlusion and doppler delay, and weapon accuracy/wind drift/range drop off. The only diff is that a M-136 AT can be reloaded, and not disposable. Russian RPG-7V's are reloadable. You will hear a lot of gamers complain why is my M4 not firing like a laser anymore?

>Lol. Welcome to the world of 150m accuracy, kid.

>At the height of OFP, which was heavily supported by the modding community, you could drive a T-95, fly a Commanche, control a modern AA battery network, and even had aerial drones and access to Challenger/Leopard A6/Merkava MBT's. In this latest release by Bohemia Interactive Software, you have a limited set of infantry wpns and vehicles compared to what was available as provided by the modding community, but it is a robust set of equipment nevertheless. Reviews like some of the ones above are from players not used to the mil sim, modern battlefield environments provided in ArmA. They're used to fighting in a confined map, blocked off alleyways, linear CH maps where sniping is a joke when you can read the name tags on the target. After you play ArmA, you'll feel like that you were fighting in a fish bowl in the other games compared to the possibilities here.

<
>Which leads us to the 2nd area for review. The missions. The first review above is referring to a map called "Evolution", where you start out as rank: Private, and after completing objectives, and scoring "kills", you gain rank in mission, and get access to better wpns and vehicles. This is a new format of map that has only partial comparisons to what is available in other games. This is not the only mission format to the game. Co-op missions with multiple objectives, Death matches, Capture the Flag, and the Command and Conquor like format of RTS/CTI are also available.

<
>We now come to the third and most signifigant area for review: modders.
<
>"Evolution" is the latest in mission formats that has taken this game to a new plateau, and on most nights, you will find over 50% of public servers running this mission. One of the primary reasons is that it stops team and asset killing almost completely. "Evolution" is but a star in the sea of modding community contributions. Most OFP players expect the full inventory of missions, equipment, scripts, will be ported over to the ArmA environment. I read somewhere that in other games, you pretty much fight like in an arena, nose leading like environment, which simplified, amounts to something like being handed a gun in a telephone booth and told to start fighting. In ArmA, you have your objective, equipment, and you choose how, when and where to achieve victory over your objective. Guess the first reviewer prefers telephone booths.
very painful ...buggy and boring
it just takes too long to play a game with big maps .....you have to be online all day to get good at it....not like battlefield 2 , learning curve is killing me....you can't train in a jet in training mode ...when you get online you have to capture areas for you to get good weapons thats what i hate about the game, if spending all day on a game is enjoyable buy it.
