lol, omg arma is very janky in alot of parts, not anywhere it matters with respect to typical game play.

ballistics is tops, collision physics...even after much improvement are pretty bad.

Yay! one of my fav games & developers.

Dayz; a popular mod for Arma.

Bohemia Interactive hired them to develop it into "retail" game.

MANY mods for game, tons of servers with a large variety of game types / modes.

​

One of the for sale DLC's had used Red Cross logo without permission. Of course it was removed, and in addition they donated all proceed from the DLC to ICRC (International Committee of Red Cross / Crescent.

​

"born" From Arma mods was the "king of the Hill" game mode.

​

stellar game that I highly recommend

​

That said, while the game is fairly realistic graphically am surprised anyone would mistake it for actual footage.

however the AUDIO...it is VERY realistic. crack crack

First heard an A-10 warthog in Arma, thought it sounded unrealistic / stoopid...perhaps bugged.

Heard video of actual A10 firing it's cannon and game sound is spot on! Brrrrrrr Brrrrrrr

​

Going back to Arma 2, us military used a version for training....probably with regards to maps, traversing land and where / how to look for enemy's and how to keep formation / spread out.
