Thanks to mods like ACE and DayZ, there is hundreds of hours of fun to be had. Most of the fun, however, lies in Multiplayer. If your chopper gets shot down and you pull off a proper crash landing (And survive the crash), instead of a game-over screen, you get a mission to rescue that pilot. For example: There is a mission where you pilot an AH-64D to take out AA Nests. Your actions in the campaign influence what missions you get and how the game ends.

The Single-Player, while short, was fun while it lasted, and while it was buggy at points (In the Vanilla, thanks to the games modding community I managed to fix the AI bugs mostly.) it was still a nice campaign. I'll start with this: This game does NOT hold your hand, everything takes patience and getting used to. If you want a true challenge that is as close to reality as possibly, give this a whirl. If you want a fast-paced interactive Michael Bay movie that holds your hand every step of the way, turn back now.

Whether or not this game is worth picking up depends on what you are looking for in an FPS. We will be busy fighting serious **** enemies - human or AI - and trying not to get shot even once - because this game does not f*ck around. Go back to your CoD where enemies throw themselves into your bullets and you are virtually invincible. And if you can't figure it out - after just a few hours of applied effort - a look or two through the controls menu - and maybe even asking a question or two on multiplayer - then go away - we don't want you here anyway.

But good things come to those who wait - and put in the effort - to learn a real game. Because CoD doesn't have anything on ArmA.

And run some of the most immersive, realistic, expansive, open-ended, tactical, fun, glorious missions you have ever seen. Join a clan - a good one - one without ridiculous requirements to maintain membership. Buy the game - even better if you buy combined ops - or buy ArmA II and Operation Arrowhead and combine them. It has come a long way - and so has the hardware to support it. Most of these reviews - if you take care to read them, are from when the game first came out.
