They removed free roaming, mod support, map editor and pilotable aircraft.  I removed my interest for the game.

 If they abandon realism because the ARMA games are too good at it, and with Battlefield 3 coming this year to fill in that space of 'bombastic and action-packed yet more believable than some other shooters' shooter, why would anyone buy this game is my question. I'm not.

So, you're telling me that I'm an American soldier and I'm shooting foreigners in the face? And it's in first person? You don't say...

So they couldn't compete in the realism market, so now they think they can compete against MoH/CoD/BFBC/BF3...

This time I think I'll wait until the game drops to 10 dollars before I buy it.  Burn me once...

Why is this footage so outrageously jerky? Hope it's just the video because that doesn't look like it'd play very well.
 
Also, I didn't listen to a word that guy said.

Hey what the hell is that?
A game where the Americans are forced to fight someone their own size?
I'm impressed that they made a game like this, usually it's against renegates with BB guns.
 
I dont think I will be buying this game.

I guess I was surprised an ARMA game was being released on a console.  You need at least two keyboards to play the damn thing.  It's like they said, "Okay lets cut everything out except running, aiming, and shooting."

Dragon Rising was a blast in coop on 360. This may not have the highest production values, but if it's like that, I'm in. 
 
It's pretty unique. Not just another shooter.

Look up Homefront.  Then you'll see how drastically different this is from Red Dawn.

This is ridiculous, even the PLA couldn't hold the region with the Tadjik mujaheddin around, the whole premise is bullshit.

The narrator's voice sounds like he's recording a parody, not selling an actual product.

Operation Flashpoint, the real one, had an Xbox1 version and that was actually pretty friggen awesome, as they managed to pretty much pack everything the PC version had onto the Xbox1 controller. ArmAII also has Xbox360 controller support on the PC.

Flashpoint games are good. This trailer just did nothing to explain why Flashpoint games are good and instead tried a "we make war games too" approach.

I liked the first Operation Flashpoint... i don't know about this one; it looks good but it has some steep competition.
