Plamsa You have no clue what you are talking about. Arma 2 on the highest setting beats BF3 and MW3 or any top selling FPS any day in graphics. and keep in mind this is not even a game, But a Simulator that sticks to realism and not n-scope 360 bullshit.
uh yeah i do, i dont do the whole no scope thing lol im old man.
i got battlefield 1942 when it was NEW.
there was a really old game online, ww2 sim you paid $15 for game and it was real time. you choose a side german or allied and you got 'orders'. server ran 24/7 and had daytime nighttime cycles. was very fun to play in large groups, one weekend we parachuted into france and over tooka small village. was very awesome.
now to the point:

secondary its massive its bout all its got, the ai is buggy and its crazy priced for an older game
Arma 2 was released in June and July 2009 - still cost $40
what else came out in 2009?
Halo 3: ODST - $19 new or way cheap used.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - $10 new or used varies slightly on console/pc
and my fav..
Left 4Dead 2 - $19 half the price of Arma and has quadruple the enemy AI amra 2 has.
Arma 2 might be a sim, but its a unpolished sim, that is in desperate need of work.
Ask anyone tha has played them both or any amount of games. which is prettier?
i can bet 98% will say battlfield 3 on highest settings will waste any game currently out. Crysis still holds high regards for breaking that barrier.
Amazon ratings:
Arma 2 - 3.5 stars
Bf3 - 3.7 stars
call of duty mw 3 - 3.3 stars
hmmmmmmm so that puts it where??
we could go simulation, lets drag americas army into this....
its very outdated and only reason its still kicking round is because of mods like dayz.
Now another game that comes to mind that blew that game outta the water, for me and alot of gamers...
operation joint operation
google is your friend.
Overall, Arma 2 needs work, only reason its come to light is cause of the mod days, with that said, i like to get value for my game, not pay $60 and cant have at least some good replay value.
