Word. Come to think of it, I can expect the mainstream media reviewers to rate it negatively just because "It is not CoD". Mark my words.
Majorly looking forward to the G4TV review.
I hope TWI doesn't take the incoming critical response to heart. Between the rough release and the inherit difficulty of the game, and the simplsitic SP, I think there's going to be a lot of negative reviews, but as per usual; like ROOST, HOS will remain one of the most respected games on the market for years to come by anybody with half a brain.
[/offtopic]hmmm...i would say it has more in common with BF than with ARMA. It has the accessibility of BF, but no where near the depth and realism of ARMA.
ARMA is a big "big picture" realism game, but fails to represent any dramatical seriousness in the environment or combat, and the gameplay mechanics are poor and simplistic at best. It's tank combat is lousy and highly unrealistic (t72 can knock out an Abrams? lol yeah right), the flight mechanics defy the laws of physics and the infantry combat is stilted and very awkward.
In terms of actual infantry combat, HOS is a more realistic game in the way the mechanics handle, but doesnt offer the same overall scope of combat that arma has.
