PC Gamer Review

Armed Assault is a soldier sim. We see a boatload every year, but this one is special. This is the follow-up to Operation Flashpoint, the game that was so realistic it became a professional military simulator.

The raw facts about ArmA tell one hell of a story: 400 square kilometres of island to explore, 30 different weapons, 30 controllable vehicles, accurately modelled bullet ballistics, a full weather system, accurate tides and constellations, pesky insects...

It's the product of developers obsessed with getting things right, which makes their decision to release it in a clearly broken state utterly baffling.

We reviewed the version that's been on sale in Europe for a while and which is also in line for release here: and it's tragically, dismally broken. It's playable and enjoyable on many levels, but level-breaking bugs, game-crashing bugs and pathfinding bugs mean you don't know what level of quality you're getting from one mission to the next: will it be the astonishing military sim, or a comedic run around?

-------------------------------------

Well after so many problems with the demo and this review basically saying how it'll take months, maybe years before its running well enough, I'm giving Arma a miss.
Tis a shame but its not as if they haven't had time to fix things. I'm very disappointed, so FUCK BOHEMIA, potential just isn't good enough cuss:
