ARMA 2 Expansion Trailer: Meet the Blufor

It's funny as an Arma player to read the comments.. it's buggy... it doesn't run well for me... it's too hard.... my panties are bunched up....why can't my mommy hold my hand while I play.

it is NOT a game.. it is a battlefield simulation.. is it the likes of a true sim? no but if they could simulate all of those individual peices into one product I'm pretty sure that they would sell them individually anyway so it's a deal in and of itself. The fact that it is an absolutely HUGE battlefield ,tens of square kilometers, bigger than any other game, that's for sure is apparently lost on people.

The game runs great for me now. and I'm not sitting on a brand new machine either, in the latter patches performance has gone up tremendously, If judge this by the demo, you are doing yourself a disservice as it is NOT a true representation of the product.

It is hard.. it has a STEEP learning curve..if you take the time to learn how to play it, it rewards you greatly with an experience that CANNOT, I REPEAT, CANNOT be replicated in any other shooter.

Lastly, there isn't a better mod community around. period. they are helpful to each other regardless of the individual projects. there is already an immense amount of mods ready and waiting for a new expansion.
Sorry.. if you hated it, oh well, go back to your twitchy point and shoot/bunny hopping GAMES and just let it be.

CANNOT wait to get this..

//oh yeah, and there aren't many tweens playing Arma so that in and of itself is worth the troubles for me

I think we can come up with some more entertaining answers than the one provided in the article, so:

Q: What's a Blufor?

I disagree with your disagreement.

I was REALLY looking forward to both ARMA2 and OF:DR. Mega disappointed in both.

Insurgency (a free mod for HL2), on the other hand, is freakin' AWESOME. Just infantry stuff (i.e. no tanks/helicopters/vehicles/etc) but OH MY GOD did they get a lot of things right. Tactics + fun = goodness. And it's free.

Personally though, I still miss the Raven Shield days.

Any word on a Ps3 version?

Seeing this stuff makes me wish I still had time for Shacktac

ArmA 2 was a great purchase for me; so glad I didn't go with Operation Flashpoint. All of you that said OF:DR was the title to get should be put on a special blacklist. With Rainbow 6 and Ghost Recon basically dead, ArmA is the only recent/modern title of its kind. I look forward to this expansion.

Sometimes it feels like these sims keep forgetting that games are about having fun....

Nothing's smooth in ARMA or OpFlash, all the animations seem so clunky and wooden, it breaks with immersion completely.

Sorry, but I'll pass. ArmA 2 has more bugs than the alpha version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
