After playing most of my first weekend on ArmA II I was pretty disappointed at the lack of players in the multiplayer. I love the coop mode, all other multiplayer modes in this game (for me anyway) are just not good. Coop mode is a very large map, and you get to play pretty much any role you want. Unfortunately, there aren't enough players to make it worth my time, not to mention the lag issues and the bugs. It's very difficult to play a sniper when your target skips all over the place. I hope this game picks up soon or I just wasted $49. Of course, all of this negativity in this meager review will probably cause GameSpot to delete it. They have in the past deleted negative posts that I have made about games. I love combat sims, and I think ArmA II has a lot of potential, but it seems like game companies just release and forget these days.
