An older code, but it still checks out.

May 2025

So I booted up ARMA 2 expecting a military shooter. What I got was a full-blown war simulator that makes real life seem arcadey. This game is so realistic I filed for VA benefits after a training mission. Let me walk you through my first mission: I spawned in. My commander barked 47 acronyms at me in 10 seconds. I opened the map, got lost, and closed it. Walked 45 minutes through a forest to reach the objective. Got shot in the leg by a bush. Or a sniper. Honestly not sure. Bled out while trying to figure out how to crouch. 10/10 experience. The controls? Oh, friend. ARMA 2 has one keybind for every action known to mankind. Want to go prone while aiming and checking your watch? That’s Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Q+Sneak+RealizeYouShouldHaveJoinedTheNavy. The AI is a masterpiece of chaos. Sometimes your squadmates expertly flank an enemy bunker. Other times they run face-first into a tree and shout “CONTACT!” at a cow. Also, if you love bugs, have I got a treat for you. One mission had my helicopter pilot land directly into the ocean while yelling “GO! GO! GO!” We all drowned, but at least we did it tactically. But I’ll be honest: when it all works, it’s the most intense, immersive, pants-wettingly stressful experience ever. You feel like part of a real unit. Until Gary from logistics runs you over with a tank while yelling “I THOUGHT REVERSE WAS R!” Final Rating: 7 invisible enemies out of 5 Come for the realism, stay because you forgot the controls to quit the game.

March 2025

A decade-old military sim so realistic it’s used to train actual soldiers—yet you’ll mostly use it to roleplay as a rabbit or level villages with a tank. War as art, war as absurdity.

I guess if you are into war sim, it's a great game. To me, the gameplay is outdated (no mouse sens custo?! Forced right click toggle ADS?!) and the voicing is mid at best. I think it is a really niche game. I recommend it because it is objectively a nice game if you are into that type, but I bet 90% of gamers will not have a good time playing it. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☑ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☑ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☑ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☑ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☑ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☑ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10
