From the creators of Operation Flashpoint comes this military
shooter featuring fully open, immersive environments challenging
players to explore and make strategic use of the world around them, as
they infiltrate and
engage in combat on enemy soil. Deploy your squad over 100 square
kilometres of territory, utilizing military and civilian gear and
vehicles in the field. Comprehensive multiplayer and mission
editor functions allow gamers to go deeper into the ARMA: Armed Assault experience beyond the single player missions.
ARMA is a first person tactical military shooter with large elements of
realism and simulation. This game features a blend of large-scale
military conflict spread over large areas alongside the more closed
quarters battle. The player will find himself thrust in the midst of an
engaging and expanding storyline, fighting against smart, aggressive
enemies who will continually provide a challenge over a massive
landscape.
"The most complete and perhaps even the best combat simulator out there.
If that sort of game sounds appealing to you, and you've got the time
and patience to learn the ropes, then this is a must buy." Gaming Trend - 7.7 + Bronze Medal

"In short, ARMA's adherence to realism and accuracy in terms of weapons
and world design is highly commendable and hopefully will inspire other
developers in similar directions. It is undoubtedly one of the most
realistic military shooters available." IGN.com - 7.3
"The game is by no means a simple affair. You are not Rambo, and all it
takes is a simple, well-placed shot by the enemy to take you down like
a bag of sand. ARMA emphasizes tactics and strategy, using cover to
your advantage, and knowing where you opponents are. The allure of the
game comes from the freedom of movement and the large amount of space
you're presented with. You've got a massive landscape to strategize
with, and being able to use tactics like flanking your enemy or
targeting a foe from over a kilometre away is the key to success." Gaming Excellence - 7.4
