Arma was written to be as much of a "simulator" as possible for the computer. The COD/BF series are arcade games. Sure, the have varying levels of difficulty, and may even use ballistics for bullet flight, but they were never developed to be, nor claimed to be, realistic across the board. |

It looks really cool, but I just have no interest in multiplayer only games.
I know I am in the past, but I would have loved a modern star wars FPS that revolved around a long solo campaign. Oh well, at least I have Fallout coming soon, which should last me until Zelda Wii U.

No space battles no care. Space battle was cool too, but got a little repetitive. All the "base" ships were laid out the same inside and had the same structures to destroy, all of the playable ships were pretty much identical between factions. Expanded space battle with new-console capabilities could be fucking awesome. |

I hate TF2. Mad cuz bad. 
The learning curve is fairly steep on some of the classes. And you'll have to deal with people like me who've played since day 1, too. 
This is balanced out by a fairly large portion of the Valve server population appearing to have just figured out how to use a mouse and keyboard about 5 min after their TF2 install, and the very large portion of new people who think that Sniper or Spy is easy mode TF2.
ETA: If you are new, be prepared to spend a very long time in respawn while you figure out what is going on, the game tends to move very fast, and you WILL be punished severely for standing still for a nanosecond to think about it.  Don't even bother with the in game tutorials, as they don't really cover much other than very basic movement and gamesense. Watching gameplay vids of experienced players will help, as you can slow down the gameplay on your own time, and see what successful play actually looks like if you know what you are doing.
It's a team based game at its core, and one guy can't win it on his own, though if you get good enough you can rofl stomp public servers every now and then.
ETA2: Yes, it does play like Quake, as movement and projectile prediction is king if you want to do anything. The non-projectile classes are only powerful for those who can aim properly, and you will only get a one shot kill as a Sniper if you are good enough to land a headshot, which is fairly hard to do vs someone who moves properly. |

There is, however, if you decide to do the "paid" missions, be aware that there is very low tolerance for the inexperienced, and its best played with 5 of your friends for maximum fun. Joining randoms is an iffy proposition if you are flying solo through the paid mode.

Game is reasonably fun.
Kind of liking the small death match map more than the Hoth battle out of the two modes available in the beta. Unless you have rebel's that can pilot you just get face rolled on Hoth. As imperial, I just got in an AT-ST and strung off 30 kills, that can't be fun for the other team. 
The actual game is running smooth as silk without any issues at all in 2 hours of playing. |

How do I activate a power-up on the PC? I got a vehicle and sat there for a minute trying to figure it out before I got killed sitting there. Searched online for it and still don't know how to activate it if I get another...
ETA: Never mind, I figured it out. The power-up shows up on the lower right screen and you just press the number on it. Gameplay is super smooth but before and after the game the video and audio is really laggy. Not sure what's going on there. |
