And from what I understand from reading the reviews of Arma 2, the AI are just as poorly modelled. Run around in circles like morons and get shot, or suddenly hit you from incredible distances.

The only reason I would play Arma 2 would be if it is possible to have a strictly human versus human situation, but from what I understand, its always humans versus AI.

And the flight modelling in the game is a joke from all the reviews I have seen, it certainly IS NOT a flight sim. In fact they don't do their tank modelling very well, far too easy to knock out AFV's.

And the maps are TINY compared to IL-2 or CoD.

Total bollocks WTF do reviewers know ? They look at a game on release and never look again.
TRUST ME A FULLY MODDED AND LATEST PATCH AI Arma/OA is awesome. Its true IMHO the choppers and armour is too vulnerable due to "gameplay" adjustments and the flight modelling isnt perfect but its pretty damn good and with the detail available you cant expect the maps to be as large as il2.
Human v human is perfectly possible, but its the net and people cheat . therefore most people play coop but this only reinforces the fact that the ai cant be to bad can it otherwise coop would not be any fun.
If you dont have the game or dont play it dont comment on reviews or heresay. Your dissin my first love man, anI aint havin it you hear?

I'm pretty sure we will be saying the same about CoD in a year or two if the reviewers don't give CoD a fair chance and review the game that gets released on the US launch! Arma2 was almost as buggy as CoD on the release but they sure fixed it good!

Arma2 was never as bad as CoD. however Arma was horrible I just couldnt play it an stuck with OFP.
Bohemia and maddox have similarities, both relativly small eastern europe developers with niche sims that are outstanding leaders in their respective fields, I just wish maddox were more attuned to the "western" market bohemia just seem more tuned in.
My fear is that CoD becomes another arma, a follow on to a highly successful predecesor that ultimatley failed., yet Arma2 was what Arma should have been.
