ARMA2 review(test)

[Havoc]

Hey there, nice insightful review, however I'd like to defend and blaze ArmA2 at some points here:

The voices sound so crappy for a simple reason: They are computer cut.
It's not entirely Text-to-speech, but its a series of prerecorded samples that are being put together to fit any given situation. (Enemy/Tank/Helo - 200(500,800 etc) - meters/kilometers - southwest(south, west, north etc.) i.e.)

Sure it sounds like someone trying to articulate while dieing from a seizure, but its for the sake of functionality.


And the mentioned bulletdrop: I found the weapon physics in the game to be the probably least realistic thing ever. And I've fired a MG3 and G36 on a 500m range, and boy not even the MG3 (german light machine gun) sprays like this while in single-fire mode. The weapon accuracy in this game is far from realistic.

Like correctly stated in the review, not a game for everyone. But you can get your fun out of it if you take the time to learn its quirks and stuff.
