That's awesome. I think homemade missions would be fun. Would it be practical for me to play on European servers? I mean concerning latency? I have heard the servers are predominantly European and that it can cause major lag for US players. I live right near Washington D.C.

I hear you WOlle. I'm a PR guy so I know how it can be. I think I'm gonna buy it, though. The availability of servers is a concern, though.

I've heard complaints about servers and/or lack thereof. That still true?

That sounds amazing!!! Is ther any way to obtain player-made missions?

Hello everyone. I am new to these forums and have not yet played ArmA 1 or 2. I am looking for a game to replace BF2 and Project Reality. I just bought Operation Flashpoint 2 and I personally find the game to be unplayable. So I hope it's cool for me to make this thread and ask you guys some questions and get a dialogue going so I can ask questions about the answers to my questions LOL. I wasn't originally gonna buy ArmA2 because I feel so bitter about OPF DR but I had just heard on another forum that on ArmA2 you can set an option that will create random military factions around the map to be interracted with. And that these factions will also engage each other independently. That really got me interested as I like that concept concerning game immersion. Can anyone please elaborate on this and/or share some of their experiences with this kind of gameplay? I have, however, heard the game can be pretty buggy but that there is a new patch out. How is gameplay since the patch has been released? And BTW, I'm not asking you guys to convince me to buy it (I'm not that pretentious). I probably will. I am just at work now and I know forums are the best places to learn about games.
