A slow burner, but worth it
Arma: Armed Assault is the spiritual successor to Bohemia Interactive's Flashpoint game, which changed the name due to legal issues with BI's previous publisher - Codemasters. Name aside, Arma plays and feels much like OFP, with the same radio commands, the same clunky movement animations, and even the same AI features. To me, the similarity is more of an advantage since the game can be notoriously complex and non-user-friendly. Strangely enough, I didn't experience a lot of bugs, except for the AI... Like honestly, the friendly AI is braindead to the point of it being easier to Switch teams and do everything yourself instead of waiting for these idiots to respond. At the same time, the enemies can magically spot and kill you from across the map or not notice you within two meters - it's infuriating. Storywise, the game offers some variability, letting you play the missions in the order you choose, which will influence the plot and the difficulty of some objectives. It is a welcome change to the standard formula, but the story and characters are nowhere near as interesting as in Operation Flashpoint. For the story, I suggest Queen's Gambit, which is shorter and much more exciting and memorable than the main plot. The music is generic, and the voiceovers are fine, I guess, but the acting doesn't carry the weight of the story, so it doesn't look believable. Overall, this game deserves some love, even though the multiplayer is long dead, but the maps are great, the gameplay feels familiar, and the sense of freedom it provides is incredible. It's a slow burner, but if you have the patience, it is worth your time and money!
