I played ArmA, its nto that great after awhile. Not going to note the bugs because those will most likely get ironed out. But the AI is not that great guys. Sometimes you super AI that can shoot you through trees 800 meters away other times you can run right past them and they dont even notice you.
And it doesn't add very much innovation... Its the same as Operation Flashpoint with a FEW new things... Its realistic big deal. I'm sorry to say but its not going to be one of those games everyone has an orgasm over. People are more focused on crysis, quakewars,spore, and whatever the hell else is coming out worth buying. ArmA is already becoming outdated graphics wise and its just been released. 2142s graphics rival them and it came out a year ago? (not sure) And I'm not sure if you've noticed, but FS WILL BE the first real mod to come out for 2142. Being the first and only thing out for desperate 2142 players, its a safe bet that its going to get popular. I (every once in awhile) ask people in bf2/bf2142 if they are looking forward to mods for 2142, they are all waiting for something, anything to come out. People will get bored of the 2142 gameplay. Thats where FS will come in. FS doesn't need to rely on people waiting for the mod. People are already waiting, and more and more people will eventually look up mods for 2142 on moddb and other sites. And once FS is released its what they will get.
Sorry I can't tell you about it, but beleive me FS is going to blow your mind. Even for people who aren't Star Wars "fans" lots of people will look for alternate gameplay. FS is vastly different. Come on its lasers!
