ARMA II PC Review

ArmA II Review

Introduction

Bohemia Interactive has been known for a while now due to the nature of its projects. Not many publishers dare to do something different nowadays. But what these guys have brought to the table is the most amazing Tactical Military Simulator I’ve ever played. Unlike the Call of Duty series where you grab the gun, shoot down the bad guys and pull off a John Rambo-out-for-blood act, ARMA II will burst your brag bubble, bring you down to the knees and ask for seconds if you dare get up again. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, the game will punch you right in your face and make you feel like a n00b in the world of Tactical shooter games. This game is playable through both First and Third person view and puts you in the hot seat with any comprehensible military technology (How does an MV22 Vertical Take Off and Landing Fighter jet sound?) in the world at your fingertips. No longer is the AI dumb and a mere guinea pig for target practice but rather intelligent and deadly and not there just to assist you but to pick your head off with a single shot. The level design is second to none and the unparalleled level of detail is what makes this title very intriguing. To summarize it, ARMA 2 is vast, beautiful and brutal.

This sequel to the Original ARMA series and a worthy inspiration for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has won many fans across the globe. Let’s get right into it and find out why despite being one of the most incredible games around, ARMA II might just not be for you.
