War's cruel seesaw is beautifully evoked. In modes like Domination and Warfare you aren't just scrapping for some paltry bridge or hamlet, you're fighting for entire regions and doing it alongside dozens of sentient soldiers.Īlmost every session involves scurrying through a corner of vast, gorgeous Chernarus you haven't scurried through before, and witnessing scenes that feel reportage-real.
While there's no shortage of shooters offering intense communal combat, none I know of can match this game's scope, variety and resonance. Multiplayer has also been important in keeping my ArmA II relationship strong and spicy. Any fool can create rich, unpredictable combat situations with gizmos like these. The former device periodically adds friendlies and foes to the battlespace, the latter generates a stream of optional side tasks such as POW rescues, escort duties, and arms cache searches. When I'm feeling lazy I just slap down an ambient combat and 'sec-ops' generator and go enjoy the randomness. Even if you don't fancy exploring the somewhat scary world of scripting (necessary for serious mission design, but trickier than it should be thanks to the lack of an integrated manual/help system) much can be done with simple off-the-shelf editor features.
