For those of you to young to remember the excellent Carrier Command.
Basically you started at the edge of an archipelago and had to travel around destroying bases on the islands and replacing them with your own base and defences in an attempt to control resources and supply lines to an enemy terrorist controlled carrier.
Apart from the amazing 3-d graphics,(stop giggling, back then they were outstanding) what made it fun was that you could control the amphibious tanks and planes that your ship carried.
If you liked Battalion Wars 2 you will definitely enjoy this as it was more open ended.

@Weirdwolf Free Metroid! Woohoo!: How have I never heard of this game? I would have loved this if I knew about it back then.

@jetRink: I think this was easily my most played game of all back in those days. It was just that amazing. We often speculated how an upgraded version with massive multiplayer of it would look, and now it's a possible future!

I never liked the amphibian cars much though, it was all about the carrier and the planes!

Carrier Command was truly excellent, this looks good too but I hope Bohemia can get rid of the bug issues they've had in the past.

QA guys! Lots of QA!

Being a huge ArmA 2 fan and loving the franchise since OFP even though the game is buggy as hell, I have to buy this on day one. Why you may ask? Because I am a retired Army Squad Designated Marksmen and I am glad to see the Army come back in ArmA II. Its nice to see that BIS saw that more people prefer Army equipment over Marine equipment.

Not to say the Marines have crappy equipment... but I prefer my MH-6 over the UH-1 and I prefer my M2A3 over the AAV7 and I prefer my Stryker over the LAV...

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Apache waaaay more than I could ever love the AH-1...

Gun wise, they all use the same gear... its just the vehicles. Now if they would just finally add the AC-130..

I bought ArmA II and found the game had the innate ability to be freaking awesome and utterly disappointing at the same time.

Doubt I'll be picking up this expansion until they fix the oh-so-many glitches and bugs.

What is this and why should we care? It appears to be just a SOCOM knockoff from a quick Googling.

Oh well, I have a feeling I'm not the target audience.

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): I'm using the town computer right now, just stepped out of my igloo for a warm glass of maple syrup. Since there's only one computer in this town I've got the whole town waiting to use it, so I'm gonna step off in a bit to let the other 3 have a go while I hone my hockey skills. Quite happy that it's still snowing here in July.

Where do I live you ask? Toronto. :D

@dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased: "it doesn't take me 3 days [...] to go play some MarioKart"

With the Wii? Actually, I think it still does :p

@globones: Eh? No real biggie to me. Peters opinion's aren't worth getting your panties in a bunch about. That darn South Park though....

Actually, South Park is a tremendously fresh and witty series penned by Trey Parker and Matt Stone who more often than not take a satirical look at our common misconceptions and inherent social biases, portraying our insecurities as well as our follies as people and as a world as a whole. Not like those dirty good for nothing Simpsons....

To those thinking of getting it - I'd hold off a while. I got it today and the performance in it was pretty bad. The visuals are very dated and the game is still fairly buggy. I'd wait until they can optimise and patch it a bit before throwing your hard earned money donw on it like I did.

@-MasterDex-: Reports i`ve read state that it runs much better than arma 1 and arma 1 runs like shit off a shovel on my pc.I`ll get back to you on the visuals when the postal service decides to get off their arses and actually deliver my copy but hd videos of gameplay from german players shows better visuals than arma 1 so i dunno what`s happening with you.

You dont work for codemasters by any chance?

@UFO:Lol, No _>. the visuals aren't pure crap but they are dated. The motion blur is the worst I've seen, luckily, there's a mod out already to get rid of it (no option in-game). Also, force V-sync off from your gfx control panel, helps performance a lot.

I think my biggest gripe with the looks is how jaggy it is. The fillrate method for edge-smoothing is really heavy on processing and there's no standard AA option (although I heard that they'll be adding it in with a later patch.)

It's not a ruined game but I thought it wise to let people know that they're better off waiting a while if they don't want to go through the hassles of bugs and bad performance

Such a wonderful depiction of how I usually end up in these games. Running for 5 minutes without seeing a single enemy...then you get killed from somewhere out in the dark with no clue what's going on.

I seriously need a god mode for playing games like this =P

@Vodun:

Nah, here's what you need to do.

Go to a milsim airsoft game. Try playing it the way you'd play a regular shooter or paintball. Get some bruises and frustrations. Then next game try listening to your teammates. You will then know how to play games like this.
