What players say
The OG ARMA! cant get any better than that. The game runs well and still is a lot of fun in single player. highly recommended.
1 more review, not recommended
If I could sum this game up, it would be this: BMPs survive direct RPG hits, crews get out and shread your instantly before your character with clunky piss poor animations can get out of the way. While helicopter controls are a total disaster (e.g. pilot is simply unable to assign targets the way you could in OFP so you have to navigate through command menu, not before a Strela fired from across the map ends you...
