Game is pretty dead, but ArmA 2: OA is one of my favorite games of all time. The different game modes, level editor, vehicles, guns, mods, add-ons, etc. make for some INSANE situations and gameplay. DayZ Mod was ahead of its time, and there is still no game like it that has captured the same feeling/essence as it did, with all of the vehicles and gunplay due to ArmA as a foundation. DayZ Epoch & ArmA 2: OA Wasteland were the best of the best, and I will always love this game for everything it offered.
I will leave the cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards ／＞ フ | _ _l ／` ミ＿xノ / | / ヽ ﾉ │ | | | ／￣| | | | | (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__) ＼二つ
Originally I played this exclusively to set up my own missions on the editor. Someday I might go back to that. BUT if you really want to feel like you're part of a major battle, go to MP, set it on LAN, and then choose the "CTI" (Capture the Island) missions. Those permit you to play against AI that are also attempting to capture the island. If you are a multi-task kind of player and want it to feel closer to a FPS/RTS hybrid then vote yourself in as commander. If you want the AI to look after that then vote AI. I enjoy most working with a small team of 4 in a recon vehicle, or I'll get in an LAV or tank and work with the AI crew that comes with it, jumping between driver and gunner. CTI is the predecessor to the "Warlords" MP option in Arma 3, and plays very similarly to it if you enjoy Warlords in Arma 3 on LAN.
The Goat of all Dayz the most fun Ive had and was a real joy playing the game during the peak during my 20s
I haven't played this in 10 years, but chefs kiss to Takistan Life
where did all the time go :(
Oh how many thousands of hours I've spent in these games editors and campaigns over the last 20+ years... From OFP (2001), ArmA (2007), ArmA2 (2009), ArmA2:OA (2010), to ArmA3 (2013). Can't wait for ArmA 4, and going back to our cold war roots :))
the game is very broken on windows 11 still even though i love arma 2 and all the arma games it is still very broken and for me completely unplayable
Игра, в которую я мог днями залипать, просто потому что классно
arma 2 operation arrowhead played few times it was cool but most people bought it for dayz mod.
