What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game as the best in the Arma series with an authentic early 2000s military atmosphere and surprisingly solid performance, but numerous technical issues plague the experience including keybind glitches, broken mission creation on certain maps, and malfunctioning AI and vehicle mechanics.

Where do I begin? Arma2 and Arma2: Operation Arrowhead/Combined Operations is a game that defined a genre and played a large part of all childhood memories, either that be the birth of DayZ, or PUBG (both would later become their own standalone games) Arma2 is more than a game, it's intuitive and endless entertainment. Arma2: Take on the "Chedaki" rebels in the midst of a brutal civil war as members of the 27th MEU, a USMC expeditionary unit sent to stabilize the region of Chernarus, or as soldiers of the US Army, overthrow a Middle Eastern dictator in the fictional country of "Takistan".

Realistic combat simlator, only AI units behaviour is a little bit unrealistic.
1The game old and the graphic also old and so bad than what you see in the pictures the added. 2.The game animation so bad an old too. 3.The gameplay its amazing. 4.The multiplayer is just empty official/unofficial servers and that if you successfully joined the server and bypassed all errors and missing files and mods need to install out steam workshop and in the end you can play alone in the server 5.The game frame always low if do low settings or not will be always low and have shatters and drop frames. 6.The DayZ Mod Never work and keep say there is no executable file i really recommend this game if wanna lost your time to make it playable and fixing much things on it and play it single player mode only.
I do not enjoy that kind of games but on God, its better than Reforger and Arma III.
only brought it because of the good old dayz mod
