Here comes the positive part - time to praise BIS for the things they done right

Since I expressed extensivly what I (still) do not like in the OFP/ArmA series, it is fair to mention all the lovely things I appreciate:

- the vegetation: Brilliant, so rich, enemies are really hidden and hard to spot for a human. I have really problems to enter most villages full with AI hidden in bushes in and around the villages

- the MP GUI, still not perfect, but much better then in ArmA 1

- the sound, not perfect, but a HUGE improvement

- the European style vegetation, I simply feel "home", was feed up by all this desert style maps (South Sahrani...)

- lots of details/objects/addons: The spinning radars.......camo net......boxes with communication equipment.....it adds a LOT to the overall atmosphere.

- the girls - beautiful :D

- the ingame voicechat: sound is much better compared to ArmA1 IMHO

Despite the complaints, a helluva lot of stuff has been done very very well (if at times unpolished), I especially like how the AI will actually use cover now without being commanded to 'HIDE' every 10 seconds, on the whole it's a good beefing up of the series that it really needed in terms of content, features, and really utilising the sort of modifications that were discovered post release for OFP and Arma (animations of vehicles, animation of weapons on firing/reload, climbing over stuff, etc.)

Oh yeah, and the Russians have some great kit, loving the Pecheneg

I still think the weapon sounds are weak. Some of them are the same ones I heard from ARMA 1. Some are pretty good though. The game looks very good vanilla, the only thing I'd download is probably a sound mod whenever I get around to playing it :)
