    Slog for half an hour, get to your location, get one shotted by a sniper from half a mile away, repeat. Good AI control of squads and massive beautiful maps but gameplay isn't great.

    As a huge Flashpoint fan, I was pumped for this sequel. But there's something missing. That 'X' factor that OFP had that this strangely doesn't. Can't put my finger on it.

    Another shoot-for-the-stars Euro-shooter that fails miserably. Time to get some quality designers boys. This is a borderline average title at best with mediocre gameplay and frustrating design decisions. Furthermore, it's one of those games where the community starts pretty small and rapidly shrinks, making multiplayer a tricky affair.

    I don't want to be a trained marine. I obviously wouldn't live very long. Too complicated & difficult even on easiest setting. Nowhere near as satisfying as the Call of Duty series.

    If you’re tired of the unrealistic nature inherent in titles such as "Battlefield 2" or the "Call of Duty" series and crave something more authentic, Armed Assault just may be what you’ve been waiting for. Put simply, you just won’t find anything in the simulation realm comparable to this addictive game.

    Love it or hate it though, you simply can't argue that Armed Assault is one hugely accomplished modern combat simulator. If that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. [Mar 2007, p.60]

    An essential purchase for anyone interested in war simulation or tired of the contrived drama that fills mainstream military shooters.
