Don't even hesitate - Just play this game

I've reviewed games very objectively before. This time I'm not going to be objective at all, I'm simply just going to say 'play this game'. For me it's a big deal that gog got this game. I already own this game a few times over as 'Operation Flashpoint'. Don't let the relatively small 420meg download fool you. This game is huge. There is almost infinite replay value in this game. The paths to success or failure are almost as infinite. It's true that the graphics may seem simple in some areas but thay are still stunning inothers. This game is hard because it is real. It is a simulator. To give you an example, if you want to pull off a successful long range kill with a sniper rifle, then google how it's done in real life and the same will apply to Arma. Range finding with your scope, adjustments for wind and elevation..it's all there, and the game doesn't even tell you this becuase in real life you don't get told that either...that's just the way it is. I could go on for a very long time but the game is too big to cover even a small part. You just don't know how deep this game gets until you're a few hours in and by then it's too late. The mod community is huge and dedicated and new content is always comming out. You could be playing user generated content for the rest of your life and still not play it all. Don't be fooled by the new Operation Flashpoint games....this is the real thing. This first Arma game along with the new Arma games by Bohemia Interactive took combat and made it more than just a game. You can take this game online and find servers filled with players. With the exception of Counterstrike 1.6 no other game has stayed this popular or relevant after 10 years. There is just too much in this game for me to elaborate on. My best advice is just to find out for yourself. I have to give it the maximum amount of stars. No other game has done wihat this game did, and they did it 10 years ago. I still find that amazing.

Great series

Takes open world to a whole different level. More of a simulator than a shooter, theres a lot of bang for your buck here. The resistance expansion is GENIUS as it has you fighting a guerilla war, making you collect the weapons you use to fight.

War is HELL!!!

This is as close to war as you can get without going to a warzone. When you get the addons (you will need a lot of space for all the mods, somewhere around 1 terrabyte of mods out there), it gets even better. The singleplayer is amazing, and well scripted. Sure it is very glitchy, but you have to remember this is a first gen engine that does a heck of a lot. The truth is that this game is what started VBS, which is what the USMC, ADF, and MOD use for training their soldiers. Had it not been for OFP, we wouldn't see things like VBS. Now there is ArmA, which is good, but the singleplayer sucks compared to OFP. As far as realism goes, this is stunning. The one main problem is that you actually need to know people who play OFP to play MP, as the MP community is very small and tight.

Still going strong

i am cwa addicted. I think original game coming to mature age, 20 years this summer. Time seem to fly when fun. Still going strong. The only game i keep playing constantly playing last decades. Not the easies one to master, neither is life... Realism hits, maybe original AI was quite stupid to command. But huge community and correct addons makes it lots better , and have kept it in my list last two decades. Note, this is NOT brainless shooter, these take hours.Like Arma, free multiplayer is the best . Good games are hard to master. Note it has energy base system, so gettign heavy tank up hill takes time with motor's resources,likewise downhill will happen fast and unstoppable at steeper hills. Game maybe aged now in 24 years, but the freedom and relative realism has well kept over years. Still my favourite mp almost every night fights. And gog 1.99 version was easy to convert back to my favourite 1.96

One of my all time favorite Sims

It's a bit miscategorized as an FPS. It was really one of the first good combat sims. Not outstanding graphics, but far more realistic combat than a typical FPS. The ability to hit distant distant targets is quite accurate, and the view of them from a distance very realistic, while the squad tactics are challenging to master. The challenges are varied, the map is simply beyond huge filled with NPCs that you'll likely never run accross during a regular mission, but are there just to add fun. There is hours of replayability on each level. The original game had FADE DRM protection and AFAIK was never broken, so thanks GOG for providing a version that won't require the CD! If you like America's Army of Falcon, etc. you should like this as well.
