arma is not OFP. Has no feel like ofp. Doesn't have the same gameplay as OFP. In fact all it is a
eye candy game. I like graphics, but the gameplay sucks...
Not worth $40 USD...
This game is pretty buggy. Here are a list of bugs/unpolished features others came across:
1. You can still land helicopter upside down just like in OFP.
2. Flight model is twitchy and to sensitive or not enough at certain times. (even with joystick)
3. Radio commands are terrible and sound disjointed
4. Same as in OFP but they said would fix: Blood effects inconsistent (I shot a guy in the head and
his whole body becomes bloodied)
5. You can land copters on trees without damage
6. Tracers look like unconvincing lines
7. Same as in OFP but they said would fix: AI is terrible in closed spaces, sometimes in open (AI
drives into buildings, shooting an enemy's friend 10ft from him when he's looking away elicits no
response)
8. You can rotate a tank's gun into a building wall causing it to rotate its 80 ton body.
9. In certain graphical settings you'll get a .2-1s control/input lag
10. Some ppl experiencing sound lag
11. Blowing up bridges with vehicles over them cause the vehicles to hover in mid-air
12. Each time you bring up the map in ArmA you get a 'load screen' when you switch back. It's fairly
short load of perhaps 5 seconds. But this is a huge issue in CTI where you send AI all around the
map all the time.
13. Same as in OFP but they said would fix: Missile vs. fence = fence wins & not destoryed...
14. Sound FX are terrible, sound flat and unconvincing. Some cases recycled from OFP
15. Grass is nothing more than eye candy. You're at a disadvantage if you're a sniper prone in the
grass: Someone far off can see you since grass isn't rendered at far ranges but your view is
obstructed by grass.
16. Where is the animal life and bug life. Like they said they would have? I have seen one
seagull...
17. Zooming in Effect, with iron sights, why and not real...
18. The whole concept of the new ammo menu SUCKS! In OFP you move to ammo and get an action menu to
scroll through. In ArmA you have to open a window that takes you out of the game.
19. I havent found a way to put ammo to a vehicle.
20. Getting ammo off bodies or from crates is very hard. You have to move all over to find the right
spot if it doesnt pop up and dissapear. We have this problem with boats in OFP.
21. Combat movment issue with kneeling or prone. All moves are very casual not combat...
22. If your prone and try to crawl down a hill, you STAND UP?..
23. No 2 controler support for aircraft. (Pedals and a joystick.)
24. Three Hellfires to kill a T-72. Two to kill a BMP2. Bit unrealistic don't yeah think?
25. Some how AI players can walk through the underneath of bridges? you see there heads bobbing in
and out...
26. Missing Aircraft for US and Russian forces. Like NO Mig's or A-10's...
The list goes on, please add...
Some reviews I found and OFP original did better...
