Sequel to the highly successful Operation Flashpoint, ARMA: Armed Assault is a first person tactical military shooter on the PC with large elements of realism and simulation. This game features a blend of large-scale military conflict spread across large areas alongside the more close quartered battles. You'll be thrust into the midst of an engaging and expanding storyline, fighting against smart, aggressive enemies who will continually provide a challenge over a massive landscape. Story driven single player campaign: Write your own campaign storyline by choosing the right mission order when playing the 20+ missions. Play it differently next time and find new ways to victory! Large scale multiplayer: Use ARMA: Armed Assaults strong multiplayer mode and play battles where tanks supported by infantry and helicopters take control of an enemy city. The engine supports 50+ live opponents in a role of both friendly and enemy forces. More than 30 weapons: Every weapon has unique firing characteristics featuring the new and improved recoil system. Vast environment to explore: Explore Sahrani, an area over 400 square kilometers in size, full of flora and fauna. More than 30 modern vehicles: All vehicles in the game can be controlled - tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, airplanes, civilian cars or even boats. Multiple gunners: Utilize the multiple gunner positions on tanks and helicopters to rain death on your enemies both in multiplayer missions and single player campaign. HDR Lighting effects: Ambushing an enemy with the sun in your eyes leaves you at the disadvantage. Think smart, fight better! Real constellations and tides: ARMA's great depth even includes such features as fully simulated star maps, lunar cycles and tides. Watch where you park your vehicle, soldier! Built-in mission editor: Create you own scenarios using the easy-to-use mission wizard, advanced built-in mission editor, scripting language or BI tools available online and share your creation with the game.

i've played several flashpoint games and liked them. flying helos around was kinda neat in training. i got a few missions done then did a night mission where you have to RPG a few parked tanks solo and its pretty much impossible. found a hind and thought i could finish the mission that way but had a heck of a time trying to launch missiles without a gunner.

I cranked down the diffiiculty and finished this. (The default difficulty is absurd as they zero in on you and there is no stealth factor) Really liked the vehicles and found them to be pretty OP. Those missions where you have to sneak in and infiltrate to destroy tanks are best completed by stealing a tank and destroying everything.

Many of the "Extra Missions" are probably the high point of this game as they have cutscenes and narrative tones to string along the mission.

The Rahmadi Conflict Campaign si also better in this regard.
