I played it back when they did their first free weekend trial thing. Was pretty fun, and for $5 you could probably do alot worse.

It's like Battlefield 1942 but more technical. And it takes place on the eastern front.

The ballistics are much more accurate, damage more realistic (if you get shot in the arms or hands, you drop your weapon, in the legs make you move slower, and a shot to the chest or head is generally instant death. Vehicles are armored more realistically and have a correct range for weapons.

It's pretty fun, but for a guy like me who is more used to arcadey tripe like battlefield and quake, it's freakin' hard.

Waiting to get the hang of it.

Pretty sure it's instant. Though I've never killed anyone with it, only been killed by it.

What's the obsession with stabbing people in a wartime combat simulator ?

my mate told me same thing. So essentially how is Arma2 different from other shooters out there?
Myself I'm waiting for America's Army 3 - but I have both good and bad feelings about it D:

It's not a shooter, it's a simulator. Ever heard about OFP?
