Played it and was disappointed with it. The A.I. squadmates are stupid and the enemies can be too. There are many vehicles in the game, but you will end up using maybe 4, if that. It takes absolutely forever to kill someone. I have no idea if that is realistic or not, but 7 50. Caliber bullets to the chest seems like it would kill someone. Or 6 3-burst M16 shots...But of course the under-trained Chinese soldier can 1-shot me at 200 meters away. There are no checkpoints in co-op which sucks after playing for an hour and losing all that progress. Only Demon's Souls is allowed to do that.

The graphics aren't all that spectacular, it attempts to trick you with its motion blur. The game has many glitches, especially the online. Sometimes your gun wont reload/shoot/ or even appear in your hands. I often found myself unable to move and one time it forced me to walk forward and I could do nothing about it.

And like all console games, they gimped the multiplayer aspect. The PC version allows 16 vs. 16, while the consoles do 4 vs. 4, but you get 3 A.I. squad-mates which are just as dumb as they are in the SP. However, the multiplayer was surprisingly action-packed and relatively fast paced.

If possible, I would highly highly highly suggest ArmA: II over this game. Bohemia Interactive knows how to make a military simulator...Unlike whoever made Operation Flashpoint 2.

First, I thought the game wasn't that bad. It is buggy, yes, but not horrible. Second, Psychomantis, firing an M-16 with it on 3-round burst is not smart. I served in the Marines and while on the range we were allowed to try 3-round burst. It's awful, lol. So you probably wouldn't have a good chance of hitting someone with it on 3 round burst or on full-auto. Single shot is better. But yes, there are issues that need fixing but the game is far from broken. And the reason you won't use many vehicles is because if you drive around not knowing where enemies are, they're gonna kill you. But then again a fire team/platoon usually doesn't go into combat so ill-prepared... Lol
