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.

ArmA2 isnt on 360 so I'm not bothered.
