Arma 2

I have no idea why you're so hellbent on pitching Arma2 as the most realistic game and it being so great. I told you on Steam, that you're allowed to voice your opinion, but not everyone wants to play a realistic game..

...

Also, my system can handle the game just fine.. It's the game overall that sucks.

I know that everyone has their opinion and such, at first I was just posting what you can do and that it is realistic, and then people started saying that there are more realistic games and that this one is not very, so I just posted facts that show that it is more realistic than the other games.
 
looks nice, haven't played it though, it's gotten great reviews, even in europe, saying it's a very ambitious and genuine game..

Actually yes, I have gone clay pigeon shooting, rifle shooting on the range with my uncle and cousin and also gone with my cousin out to his friends property.

From your comment, I believe it is you who has not gone out, because in real life, bullets do drop after a while and do jam up sometimes.
Plus, getting shot in the leg 3 times wouldn't have the same effect as getting shot in the chest three times, yes it would hurt like hell, might even hit a artery and you could bleed to death, but it wouldn't be instant.

Also, I never said the game was real, as no game could portray real life exactly (eg, you can only die once in real life, but a game with that feature wouldn't sell), so they can only go so far, and I believe Arma 2 has hit that benchmark better than anyone else in the field.

From my comment? it was merely a question, I did not mention anything that you just claimed to be "realistic"

So... aside from your pops bolt action, have you ever fired a semi automatic centerfire or any type of "assault" rifle? I really doubt it because the permits for such firearms are hard to get in your country... Anyways, I just played 2 minutes of arma2 to refresh my memory and I nearly burst out laughing, I know a couple of free mods that have much more realistic firearm skins/anims.

The shells in arma2 just drop straight down, all in a uniform pattern(some of the guns don't even spit out shells!!), there are green iron sights in the middle of the screen:rolleyes: the sounds of 70% of the rifles are way off, the recoil is just ridiculous, mag changes are done way too quickly, the muzzle flash is another joke and the physics are laughable. Sure, you get a delay in POI depending on the distance but I think thats the only realistic aspect to this game, or at least, to the demo.

Hit the range with some fun toys and you will agree, arma2 is a far cry from realism.
 
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will be out then, looks to be a much better game Imho.

Indeed!

I think this will be my next game purchase!

I also agree, Operation Flashpoint 2 looks awesome.... If you want realism that is about as real as it comes...

(If it actually turns out like the wiki pages says that is)
