Arma 2

If you like realistic Military Sims, this is the best one out there for infantry action. It does a great job on many things, especially realism. But I am giving it a 7 because it does feel like a step back from Bohemia's last masterpiece, which is Operation Flashpoint. ARMA 2 fails to live up to that in many aspects, first is the AI for the single player campaign. The AI is just horrible, and fails at being as perceptive and common sense as the original. They'll often just look at enemies 10 meters away and wait for your instructions to open fire at it before doing anything, they navigate horribly and AI driving and navigation is also very buggy. The story of the main campaign is also 'meh' at best. Gone is the dark and desperate theme of the original where you are faced with overwhelming odds. You also only have 3 companions that result in mission fail if any of them die, which is bad design. The original game allowed for your entire squad to die and would still allow you to finish the mission; you'd just have to deal with the consequences of fighting alone in future missions. It also has so many scripted elements compared to OF. You can't pull of wins anymore in missions where you are 'scripted' to lose or not escape. OF allowed for some really strange wins and this is one of the lost charms. The strength of ARMA 2 is in its multiplayer and modability and DayZ. All great things that meant lots of hours of fun. Overall, if you liked Operation Flashpoint, you will come out disappointed in the story and campaign, but this is still a game worth buying if you are into realistic military multiplayer shooters.

Playing the DayZ Mod primarily, nothing comes close for me to the ambience this game offers. Still fantastic after all these years.

I mainly bought this to play the classic day z mod.

A decade-old military sim so realistic it’s used to train actual soldiers—yet you’ll mostly use it to roleplay as a rabbit or level villages with a tank. War as art, war as absurdity.

Es complicado explicar una opinion sobre este juego, pero lo voy a intentar,eso si va a ser escueto que soy muy vago y no quiero escribir mucho XD. El motor grafico,la verdad es que es regulero,para ser tan antiguo tira de hardware de lindo y tener una tasa de 60 fps requiere tarjeta potente y eso es malo. La incapacidad para ver a los enemigos resulta frustante,sobre todo por que tus compañeros son raderes con patas capaces de verle el iris de los ojos al enemigo a 1 km,lo que te da una sensacion de frustracion un tanto importante. Sobre lo del realismo........no es un Call of Duty pero tampoco el simuladro definitivo. el movimiento de los personajes es cuanto menos raro,parecen robots mecanizados,algo que resulta negativo en la jugabilidad. el manejo de los vehiculos es horroroso,conseguir ir por la carretera a 60 por hora es todo un logro,ya los vehiculos aereos es un cachondeo,parece un kamikaze,te estrellas contra todo. El realismo de las armas bueno,regulero,vamos a dejarlo ahi. Pero lo peor de todo es la IA de tu aliados,es terrible,cumple tus ordenes a veces si a veces no,y a veces hacen lo que les sale de los genitales,y al final te acaba aburriendo,por que en este juego depende de la eficacia de las ordenes,que por ejemplo sube al vehiculo x y vete a punto Y puede convertirse en una odisea. Pues con lo largas que son las misiones imaginate el estres....

A deep, tactical military simulator with unmatched scale and realism. Clunky at times, but nothing beats the immersion.
