content: I purchased this game because I enjoyed Operation Flashpoint thouroughly. This game did not disappoint. From the training missions to the campaigns, This game maintained my interest. It is not just a shoot-em-up. Rather, Arma requires strategy and patience as well as a steady aim. This, I feel, is the game's true appeal. While it is not flashy like a Halo3, it is more engaging and dynamic. True, there were some tedious parts of the game, but the missions, weapons, vehicles, and characters were all beautifully rendered and realistic.Arma did require some tweaking on my part in order to minimize buggy graphics--Yes, it is a resource hog. I use Windows XP. The reported bugs have not diminished my enjoyment of Arma. I have not played Arma online, though, because I played it while on deployment, but I look forward to doing so soon.I will get tons of play with Arma, thanks to the mission editor. I would purchase this game again and again. Four stars for the dazzling, yet heavy Arma.
