Game is pretty bad. I understand it is a tactical shooter but the controls are bad, spawns are on top of each other, no visuals for when you are getting shot, horrible AI, etc.

Maybe it isn't for me. I was excited by the videos, disappointed by the result though :(

    Not to hijack this thread, but what kind of rig were you running the game on in your Youtube video of ARMA2 +TrackIR? The game seemed very smooth and looked great. Also, what version of the game was it?
