GRAW. Multiplayer was so much fun. I didn't get a chance to play GRAW2 multiplayer though.

If it count then I say rainbow Six: Vegas. It isn't very tactical though. If not it then GRAW.

Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 was only really tactical once you put it on Realistic difficulty... Though I haven't played it yet, ArmA2 looks great

I think Vegas was way too much run in gun to consider it a tactical shooter.

I am too. I played the objective game modes so that probably is the reason I think that. Attack and Defend on Calypso Casino all day, lol.

The bugs are mostly visual bugs from what I encountered. Glitchy textures and stuff don't take away from the gameplay. The AI is fantastic, they are observant and accurate, and they will chase you for miles.

Well then I would have to go with SOCOM: Confrontation because I keep coming back to that game and it is very hard without the communication. Don't get me wrong you get lots of communication but when you don't its because you have lots of teammates that are drunk or high lol. Arma II have not played it yet because I have heard wait a bit longer till they patch it up reason is my ATI 4850 - 512MB gpu will not handle it good.

CSS is an arcade game. Sure you need a lot of stratagy to play, but if you want pure tactical gameplay, ArmA 2 is what you need. Its not as buggy as you think it is.

How about the competitive side (Arma II online) how is it? As far as team work and balance with guns.

There is really not much PvP. Its all co-op. Your tactics aren't learning a single map and playing it over and over and over with different stratagies. The map in ArmA 2 is massive. Tactics usually mean learning how to move as a squad, bounding through squads to cover through open fields, coordinating with fire teams or air support to take out targets like tanks, learning to use the environment to your advantage, moving while covered by smoke or suppressive fire, and overall adapting to every different situation possible.

It's a milsim. Most of your time is spent travelling because distances are not compressed. The range of engagement is huge compared to pretty much every other game. It's certainly not for everyone, but if it IS your thing, nothing else compares. And the fact is, it is the most tactical shooter released this gen.

Thats a modern military game, those are tactics. ArmA 2 is the closest sim we have to modern combat outside of real military sims made for armies. 90% of the time you call in air support to take out an objective. Lots of running, lots of spotting, lots of long distance engagments.

You have to take in weapon weight into effect. in CoD 4 you could wield a M249 as it were a paintball gun. In real life that thing is damn heavy, especially with 200 round belts of ammo strapped to the carrier. You have to also realize that most missions can be completed with guided air support and very little fighting actually happens. It doesn't make for a fun videogame outside of those who enjoy simulating real life combat to the best we can.

I could link you the village battle video, or the 1700 ai video, or the (lol) glitched aircraft carrier flying in the air dogfighting with fighters video, but the fact is, none of these really show off the true ArmA2. It's just something that needs to be experienced.
