I know it is my first post, but I just have to say this.
As an oldschool OFP player, who started playing the game from the first months, joined clans, leagues, worldchamps, total wars, etc, and finally put the game in the shelf after playing it for 2 or 3 or 4 years (whatever), cause I just wanted something new I must say this game has really been a huge disapointment for me.
Even more so because of the waiting time for the release and all the expectations I had put on it
I have been following this forum since then, coming here regularly, not only because of the expectation for arma, but also hoping that the community would keep going on like it was back at ofp days and was always glad to see that there were still a lot of players also hoping for the release of Arma.
I brought the game, played it for a month or 2, was happy to talk to some old players again also but that's just it.
My rig is fairly decent, DC Oc@3.4ghz, 8800 ultra (no graphic probs or CTD's), etc, so I can play the game with high settings and get good fps, but even with good playability i find the game boring.
Every thing's boring about the game, with all this ultra realistic bull, the game lost all the fun. (and I mean online play, I don't have chinese patience for the campaign with those exaggeratedly sharp ai's.)
I miss the shooting while running, the fast aiming, the fast gaming, this is just a boring camper's game now, everything looks slow motion.
To put it plain simple ARMA sucks, maybe not so much for those who didn't play OFP, but I'm sure the majority of OFP players have the same opinion (k, I know many won't), and the proof of it are the empty servers, and it's not just for the lack of maps IMO, even old ctf maps suck in this game.
I just hope there is a decent release again of a game like this one, preferably not by BIS, cause I won't be spending any more money here so soon, if ever, that's for sure.
Regarding Arma2, just by seeing those rusty vehicles from OFP in the screenshots, I think that says it all.
