I first played "Arma:CWA" when it was formerly known as Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis. It caught my attention as a young boy who wanted something MORE than an fps.... a comprehensive military game, that let you go where you want and fight how you want. I spent dozens if not hundreds of hours in the PC gamer cd demo for the game, where it let you fight one scenario over one town with one squad on your side and facing a similar force in strength. I then went on to spend the next 20 years playing ArmA games. It has been a very rocky journey but with reforger now working in most ways I would like it to, I have never been more excited for the future of ArmA. If you are a new player to the series or a new player to first person mil-sim in general and want to check out the origins of the first person "mil-sim" this is the ONLY place to start. With this repackage of Operation Flashpoint you get all three original campaigns. Each of these progress through different perspectives of that side of the fighting. One moment you will be fighting under-strength as an American soldier who was only thinking about going home in a few weeks while waiting for much needed reinforcements The next you will be infiltrating into a soviet armored repair base as an ODA operator or commanding a squadron of attack helicopters on a strike mission. The highlight of these campaigns in my opinion is the Resistance campaign. This campaign puts you in the shoes of a former special forces operator now living the life of a civilian on the island. You must then scrounge men, weapons and supplies, every mission folds over into the next. Did you lose your machinegunner and forget to pick up his pkm?then you no longer have a machine gun, and of course your recruit is gone too.

This is one of the clunkiest, clankiest, frustrating in terms of controls, ui, ai, etc. but it is without a doubt one of the most fun older games you can buy, super recommend.
