Arma: Cold War Assault Review (Oliverandom)
What the hell is your problem people?! (Im talking about the recent negative reviews that brought this game down to mixed) Youre buying a 21 year-old game, what did you expect? AAA graphics? Call of duty gunplay? Taredown level destruction? The industry has had 21 years of time to evolve and improve since the release of this game, and you expect a game equal to todays standarts? I would even argue that Arma 1 is better than most shooters today. Can you name a game where you can actually use the numbers on the sniper scope to actually estimate distance, and they're not just there because 'random sniper scope numbers and shit go brr'? A game where you have freedom to adapt while on mission and are not stuck to a linear path telling you exactly what to do, or else unlce rockstar is gonna be sad? (looking at you Red Dead 2..). A game where you're not an effing super-soilder that can take 20 bullets to his face, and have to carefully plan out your mission, or you die in 1 bullet? Where you have the freedom of commanding your squad, and have them do bascically whatever you would need? A super robust mission editor, where i, a veteran player, am still learning new things even after 7 years of palying this game (I played on older systems beforehand, I have more than just 19 hours.)?
Also Graphics dont mean shit. 'I dOnT lIKe thE fAcEs' ugh.. I actually prefer games with 1990s - 2000s grapchis, where 'thE fAcEs' are 4 polygons, because it reminds me that grapchis arent everyting, and if a game has shit gameplay but good grapchis, then ultimatly its worth shit.. becasue If it was all about the graphics, then it wouldnt be called a 'game', but it would be called a 'graphic', for gods sake.
If you are experiencing performance isuies, Id be more supprised if you werent. Running old software that was not optimised for 16 or how many core procesors, which more and more people have these days, then there are gonna be some issues.
In short, if you are expecting a modern AAA level grapchily photoreal, hold-my-hand difficulty, compatible with modern hardware expirece, then please stop shitttting on Arma 1's legacy, and please stop expecting miracles from a two decade old peiece of software.
Dakujem za strpenie.
