Thanks for the prompt response.

The title pretty much says it all.

Arma X will be coming to Steam. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1955987

Can you confirm or deny any plans to bring Arma X to Steam?

What other war themed games does everyone here play other than Arma?

Of course, if someone wanted to go for that level of realism they might as well turn the game into an role playing game where you go to boot camp and do repeated push ups to build strength and embark on five mile marches to increase endurance. I think the first flash point found an excellent middle ground with missions like the one where you have to assassinate the three officers and the one where you ambush a convoy and take the town. Are there any missions like this in Arma? I haven't had a chance to play the campaign (my computer can't run the game) and have only played the multiplayer at a friends house a few times.

Beagle, I'm not asking whether GRAW is a sniper sim... I'm just curious if it's a game worth playing since I'm trying to find other games to play until Red Orchestra 2 and Battlefield 3 come out. Or were your referring to my earlier post? I'm not interested in a sniper sim as much as I am interested in a game that treats sniping with more authenticity and seriousness than most games which may start out alright before quickly descending into mindless action like the sniper mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. As I said before, I loved the two sniper missions in the first Operation Flashpoint.

Yeah, I've heard Sniper Ghost Warrior is terrible. Since we're on the subject, how are the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter games? I loved the original Ghost Recon games but was disappointed with Ghost Recon 2 and never looked into any of the subsequent releases. I've heard good things about GRAW and GRAW2 but was wondering how it is according to pc gamers... so thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. I will probably pass on it then. Hopefully there will be more sniper missions in the next Arma. I loved the two in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.

Has anyone played this game (I know it's kind of old)? A friend suggested it and I was wondering if anyone here has any thoughts on it? I know it will probably lack the realism of Arma, Red Orchestra, or America's Army (my three favorite games) but I also enjoy games like Battlefield and the older Call of Duty games so I thought that I may give this one a shot. I'm mostly interested because you rarely see a 'sniper' game especially since most of them are done terribly. So thoughts?

I used to play it all the time since its release especially once I figured out how to get online play to work (I was new to pc gaming back then and was not aware of patches... no wonder no one was online). Anyways, I eventually ended up losing my copy which is why I am thrilled to see it rereleased. Although I own all of the arma games I have trouble running them on my pc so it will be great to be able to play the original knowing I can actually run the thing. Is the online community still active?

Now that Operation Flashpoint has been rereleased as Arma: Cold War Assault, is there any possibility of it coming to Steam. I lost my copies years ago and would love to be able to purchase a digital copy. According to the announcement, "All existing users of Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and the Game of the Year Edition are entitled to download and install Arma: Cold War Assault at no charge. The game will also be released through various online stores in the near future." <source:http://www.bistudio.com/index.php/english/home/news/projects/235-arma-cold-war-assault-announced> So does anyone around here know?

I was wondering if there is any chance that the original Operation Flashpoint would ever come to Steam? I lost my copy years ago and would love to see it available via digital distribution as would many other fans of the original game. I know both arma games are available through steam so perhaps it may become a reality. Is there any way of contacting Bohemia Interactive to inquire into such matters? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
