This article is as much an informative piece for our serving boys and girls, as it is a game review.

Hehe, loved that:


Most notably, they are responsible for Operation: Flashpoint (OFP; the original, not that new, gash one), Armed Assault (ArmA), and Armed Assault 2 (ArmA2).

Well, for a start, VBS isn’t really that much fun. Far from being a source of entertainment, VBS is made specifically for training – and it’s made it be realistic.

I gotta agree. :)

Pretty good review, even though I think it might describe a intellectual property issue for a community mod.... anyone know if there is a community-made FRES SV mod? ;)

This is very good read! Nice to know that people have been making all sorts of addons for it for the service personel to play with!
