Armed Assault II (ArmA II) previews

I played on the NZarma server and found the Game excellent in Multiplayer. This product is far superior to BF2 and is a True Military simulator. This is the closest you can get to real Warfare without endangering your life. This is no CS shootem up its a military simulator thats packed with Action and Realism. BI have superby blended in realistic Vehicles and weapons into the best game for 2009. The NZ Army have a similar product they use to Train Troops with called VBS2 so this product is used by the Real Military.

A long awaited title, surprisingly little improvement from the last installation.

If you were only a greenhorn at ARMA, don't expect to be commanding any Army anytime soon; ARMA II is one of the most hands on, full use of the keyboard games out. Nigh impossible to control every aspect of the game, with a weak AI which severely weakens solo playability, it may not be a good option for gamers that want a fix of shooting enemy combatants.

Multiplayer can be enjoyable, but takes extended sessions to become fully engrossed in battle.

If your a stay at home commander, with the macro of a Korean Starcraft player, you may be in for a challenge with this title.
