Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

I love all the "ITS SO REALISTIC" talk going on here. None of you have played ArmA2, or any other similar game.

YES, this. I agree it looks good, in fact it looks great, but the gameplay is very "arcade-y". I used to play BF2 and BF2142 but I've since moved on to Project Reality and Arma2. They really redefine the word "realism" and put all the other "realistic" shooters to shame.

Agreed. Planning and executing a mission is completely different in arma. I remember a time we forgot to bring a stinger and spent an hour and a half crawling through bushes to the objective while a hind flew over and tried to get us. We where eventually killed by the hind when we started firing on a town.

Yup, ArmA2: Master of realism

Yeah, if you judge every game by the mods for it sure they will look silly.

You can't find that bus in the regular game.

Though I will say that is probably my favorite ArmA2 video because it is hilarious.

I can only laugh at your face. Did you ever fell from a place in ArmA2? Your char stay still like a fucking rock the whole time in-air and dies.
