ArmA 2 review — complex for its own sake
If you’re an FPS fan, you’ve probably heard of ArmA 2, a game who’s title is often confused with “Armed Assault 2″ — it’s not, ArmA is actually the spiritual successor to Operation Flashpoint. In ArmA 2, the game takes place in a fictional Soviet country called Chernarus, where a battle rages between communists (backed by Russia) and a Western backed democratic government. We won’t go into details because it would spoil the rather Tom Clancy-like storyline.
The gameplay of ArmA 2 does not resemble your average FPS, on the contrary, ArmA 2 is highly realistic and focuses on simulation aspects of the genre. Players can command AI squads into battle and get an overview of the battlefield with a “high command system”, kinda like the “Commander” feature in Battlefield 2. Both features work good and add a layer of strategy elements on top of a game that is already highly realistic and complex.

ArmA 2 patch released
ArmA 2 (Armed Assault 2) had a somewhat troubled launch, as the game was, to put it mildly, filled with bugs. Developer Bohemia Interactive has already patched a lot of those, and they have today released another patch for the game.
Although this time it doesn’t focus on bugs, but rather on the visuals, as the new update, according to the developer, “increases visual quality significantly without any major performance impact”. The patch, also known as 1.02 build 58134, is an updated version of 1.02 which was released last week.
ARMA 2 flash game competition, get a free copy
The publishers of ARMA 2 thought it would be a fun idea to release a flash game allowing players to compete for the two top scores for a chance to get the game for free via digital download. Players will be allowed to play the game for the following five weeks, so you better get started soon. But if you dedicate that much time to the Flash game in the first place, it’s probably worth the investment to buy the game itself.
You can play the game on the official website. ARMA 2 will be out on June 26th for the PC and Xbox 360.
