Well, I have had this game for a long time now.

I have to be honest, I didn't like it when I first started out, it does have a very step learning curve, if you are not used to realistic shooters. But if you stick at it, and listen to your TLs and SLs, then you will soon love the game.

Yes, you die a lot at first, as the damage model is very high, it usually takes 1 hit to kill you with bolt actions, but sometimes you can get lucky and only get nipped or "Bleed Out", which basically means you have to bandage yourself our you will die, depending on where you are hit.

It is good idea to get used to all of the roles, as you might have to take them up. If you're an TL, you will have to communicate with your team, have to tell where to go and what to do. You will have to give good artillery. And for the love of god, don't put artillery in front of the caps and get all of your team killed.

If you're an SL, you need to be a spawn point for your squad, so basically try not to die to much, you will also be responsible for providing smoke to cover your advance. And also you will need to give artillery marks for you TL to call in artillery.

If you're an Engineer, then you will have to blow up objectives in the game, this could be actual objectives you will need to destroy with satchels, or it could be tank traps, so the you can help the tank to move up, its very frustrating when Engineers don't do their job properly as it CAN stop your team from winning the game.

Yes, there is still some bugs with the game, for example if you are on a map that involves tanks, for example "Rakowice" and if your reinforcements have ran out, you sometimes get a bug that your tickets are at -1, this means that even if you killed all of the enemies, you won't finish the game, it will only finish if you cap the objectives or wait until the time runs out. And you can only with if you are the attackers with this bug.

All in all, this is a amazing game, it WILL take to time to get used, and it will get better. But its the only suitable realisic WW2 Shooter out there at the moment, and for being a relatively oldish game, it does have a large player base, still palying the game.

8/10.

I would fully recommend this game, it is fun, and amazing. Who ever is a fan of realism shooters, this will be it!

I have been a fan of ArmA all the way from the beginning from the first games that was Operation Flashpoint, to where it is today. With ArmA you will have hours of fun, whether it is building missions, messing around in the editor or downloading the countless mods that are available on Workshop and Armaholic.com!

Would fully recommend 10/10!
