Personaly I like OFP becuase it allows me to play war without toys. Remember when you were a kid (without a PC) and you used to setup those plastic army men? That's what I love about OFP. With a little effort, you can makeup virtualy any situation and play it out. I remember watching the movie "Red Dawn" and being awe struck. I wanted to re-create that situation soooo bad. With OFP, I was able to. Creating a mission for yourself isn't that stimulating. Creating a coop mission for you and your LAN buddies to conquer is another thing. My favorite coop mission was on Malden. I placed enemy armored units and infantry in nearly every town, placed several A-10's, helos, tanks, humvees, ammo stores, etc at the malden air base and cleared the entire island with 3 of my friends. It took us about 5 hours to complete. The second time I added someone's Javelin addon and it took us about 2 hours. I remember one that one of my friends made the mistake of ejecting out of his A-10 instead of just dying and respawning. He just happened to eject into a town that hadn't been cleared and he needed to be rescued. It turned a "liberation" mission into a "evac" mission. We all agreed that there is no other game that is as imersive and OFP. To make a long story short, I am very excited about the release of ArmA. I hope you find a publisher soon and also hope you guys end up making kazillions of dollars. Thanks for picking up and finishing the OFP project and continuing the legacy. P.S. I also read in a interview with your PR guy that your going to include a BIS Javelin launcher!!! Thanks for answering my prayers!!1!

Regarding the addons - NO KIDDING!! The addons and mods that the community have made are outstanding. My personal favorites are the Javelin, Pennywise's F/A 18 (go nukes!, someone's F-15's, and all Ballistic Addon Studio Addons. The F-15 addon sticks with me the most however. I live near a airport that hosts the blue angels every year and the sounds of the F-15 addon flying around, or even over head is right on the money (far better than most mil flight sims even). I can't honestly understand why ArmA isn't getting attention! I keep checking Gamespy's E3 coverage to see what they have to say about ArmA and there's nothing!! if I had the money I would publish this bad boy and try to make a television commercial that sums up the game in 30 seconds. If there was actualy a way to do that and get it on the air, the only problem BIS would have is how to spend the money.
