Battlefield 3 | Caspian Border Gameplay

[ElAurens]

ArmA II is the only infantry title I will play at this point.

Might want to look at Red Orchestra

Reinstalled a couple of days ago, then got the Darkest Hour mod for the western front. It's not perfect and looks quite aged by now, but it's quite realistic. And boy, playing on a 70 person server is something! 35 to a side, feels like a whole other scale than most shooter. Everywhere you go, there are people crouched and prone behind nooks and crannies, tanks moving up with people behind them, people getting suppressed for real - heck, I find myself ducking in front of the computer when an MG42 opens up! Suppression if very well done

After playing other modern shooters though, the game feels extremely slow. Even when sprinting, it takes ages to get anywhere Kind of like ArmA, I guess, but perhaps even worse.

ArmA 2 seems like something for me but I'm a ww2 buff.
Too bad there's no mod or expansion for ArmA.

A WWII mod was being made for ArmA 2, i think it ended up being so big a project that it will finally be released as a stand-alone title. It also boasts some modifications to the ArmA engine (more accurate method of determining damage to armored vehicles).

It has been posted on these forums some time ago as well and was looking quite good. It's also an eastern front scenario. Google it up if you want to know more, it's titled "Iron Front - Liberation 1944" and focuses on the Red Army's advance and the Whermacht's defensive efforts through western Ukraine and Eastern Poland.

Hmm, I'm tired of eastern front or being a US ranger on the western front or in the pacific.
How about the Italian campaign? Or North Africa?
