so who is getting it ?

I'm getting it, I'd love to give you a game.

I have a 360 so no,

4v4 MP is hardly a 'battle', and that it only has 2 game modes with 2 maps per mode of 2x2km even though the map is 220km2, absolute rubbish.

12 20-40 minute missions and no mission editor = a 6-8 hour game and no re-playability

They ought to remove the Op Flash bit from the title, it is nothing like the original. The finished game seems nothing more than a hook to sell me more missions (that I could make in an editor in 10 mins) and more areas of the map for MP (even though I already have the entire map on the disc). I'm very dissapointed with the work Codemasters have done.

OP/DR is a rental at best for me, I'm not buying it.

You see, I'm not really interested in the multiplayer anyway. I'll probably give it a go at some point, but the campaign is what I'm really buying it for.

but its not 4v4, each player had about 5 AI squad members to deploy, so really is 24 vs 24, and would you want to hunt around 220km looking for 24- soldiers? muppet.

if it is 24 vs 24, with only 8 human players... I might as well just play single player :S. I want to play against human players, not a bunch of AI

YES but the ai squaddies follow your command etc so you are playing a real person in effect

Map size worked well enough in the first one, using the entire map in MP, try using tanks and heli's in a 2x2 km map, what a joke

Feck AI squads, that's not MP is it ? that's SP, it's 4v4 MP no matter how you try to spin it.

Arma 2 is much better..

Kind of off-topic here, so it may get moved to another forum or w/e happens here, but yeah it does look excellent. Have you seen the 'Look and Feel' dev video? The one where dev lead pulls out an M4 and a Colt .45 at the end of the vid, real as far as I can tell - good old British humour there. Very impressive game though; physically modeled speed of sound, every bullet exists as a physical object in-game, and has ricochet and fragmentation modelling on contact/penetration. The tactical control of your squad also looks to be very deep. The fact that they've recorded as many real weapons and vehicles themselves, right down to micing up individual parts/ interiors on the vehicles, is hugely impressive. Sounds as if there's a whole heap of DLC planned too - maybe even hinting at a second, larger-scale conflict with jets etc going on the site linked in the sticky on their official forum.
