I hope that the weapon systems are fairly realistic. I doubt there will be any major imbalances as they seem to be taking some liberties with what the armies are using. Either way it wont matter I think, because in my experience with Arma 2 Public PvP everyone wants to join the US team to use M4's and Apaches whilst Russian team wins most rounds anyway :S. I always thought that said a lot about the players on each team :p.

Arma 2 is a fantastic game but it's not for everyone, and I really don't think you know you'll enjoy it until you play it for a few hours. Videos and reviews just can't explain what the game is all about. BIS I'm guessing didn't really have the money to be advertising it a lot back in the day and more recently I think they've lucked out with DayZ boosting popularity. In fact I think they've lucked out A LOT because of all the additional sales it will generate for Arma 3. I'm also confident that BIS won't do the traditional "ruining" that other developers love to do to their sequels. So in theory we could have a shooter that is popular and not terrible?
