Looks interesting

Due to the feedback from the community, Strategy Informer has revised it's review of Operation Arrowhead. Please see the updated review here: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/armaiioperationarrowhead/reviews.html

Multiplayer wasn't available when we were doing the review, due to a lack of players as the game wasn't released. This has now been amended. The game also has a higher review score due to this.

Maybe already posted before but ArmA2:OA now entered on the 7th place in the german sales charts.

Quite ok i think, if i remember right ArmA2 didnt even make it into the top ten.

EDIT

Well seems its in the 9th place in the Uk CHarts aswell.

Considering that there wasnt much if any Promotion at all this is pretty good i think.

With some real good Ads and more promotion im sure it could have been among the Top 3

Shacknews and Meridian4 have joined forces to give away three copies of ArmA II: Combined Operations.

If you're the kind of shooter fan that bemoans the hyper-realism and stodgy pace of Modern Warfare, then Bohemia's ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead definitely isn't for you. But if you're the kind of gamer who takes notes on the factual inaccuracies of the History Channel's "Top Snipers of the Russian Army" on the back of a well-thumbed issue of "Soldier of Fortune"...well then, we have a match.

A2 OA, le test sur PC

Nothing new under the sun

Note: 2/5

In this very short review the tester has instead focused on the defects:

- IA

- Narration

- Lack of optimization

We know very little about the people that make ArmA 2, gaming’s most sophisticated military simulator that also lets you play as a goat. It’s made by Bohemia Interactive. They’re Czech, they’ve been making games for a decade, and we assume they’re all hardened war heroes that brush their teeth with bayonets and sleep on a pile of claymore mines…right?

A "classic war game" at the Bohemia office. Spanel, left. ArmA 2 lead designer Ivan Buchta, right.

Gamespot has just given OA an 8.5 :)

http://www.netzwelt.de/news/83505-test-arma-2-operation-arrowhead.html

Overall rating: "Good"

Eine Erweiterung, die ohne Hauptprogramm läuft, nahezu bugfrei ist und das Originalspiel alt aussehen lässt: Willkommen in der Welt der auf Realismus

gedrillten PC-Militärsimulation "Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead". Offenbar haben sich die Entwickler von Bohemia Interactive die weltweite Kritik zu Herzen genommen.
