2 Main Reasons for not 5 Stars
1. The Red Hammer expansion is not included in this release. I mean, if you're gonna re-release this game, why not have everything released for it? I'm aware that the Red Hammer expansion was developed by Codemasters, the publishers of the game back in 2001 and not Bohemia who developed the main game and the other expansion, but come on, you have the budget to develop all-new video games but don't have the money to license it? 2. Not optimized for modern hardware. When you set the graphics settings to maximum, the game becomes completely unplayable, I got less than 1 FPS when I did that, had to use the Task Manager to force shut it down and to uninstall and reinstall the game to reset the graphics settings to this release's defaults. The game was originally released in 2001 as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, re-released in 2011 as Arma: Cold War Assault and now it's 2022 and this issue never was fixed, even one of the developers admitted that you shouldn't maximize everything because they were programmed to take advantage of old hardware. While it's nice from him to admit that, but still, why the laziness to optimize it? Here's the comment from him: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/115821-cwa-199-bug-reports/?page=3&tab=comments#comment-1931053
