Based on my appreciation of Red Orchestra, I really should like the Arma series.
I really tried to like it. IMHO they took it just a little too far, and made it complex and realistic to the point of it no longer being enjoyable.
DICE didn't develop this game, Visceral Games did.To this day, I stand by my word that DICE does not know how to fully create a multiplayer game because their hit detection is horrible as well as the "netcode" for lack of a better word.
I'll buy it for 5.99 in the first year

Visceral did not develop core mechanics of the engine. The shittyness of "netcode"/Hit-detection is all Dice.
The Frostbite engine was designed, developed, and programmed by DICE...I don't think DICE or Visceral developed the engine, they use the Frostbite Engine as with most EA games these days
I can get more value for my money elsewhere. It's a 15$ experience for me, defined as a very bland, arena'ish game.
I value open world games that give simple tools which will afford complex results when placed in the players hands.
Dice doesn't understand competition paced gameplay, they should make it more like cs go. Also dice maps never seem to have any flow at all.

It is clearly DLC and doesn't deserve that price. For 20 dollars I'd consider it. I own BF3 and dont see much improvement from that. The beta was unimpressive. Felt like CSGO still has better gun play/maps. Rather not endorse EA and the yearly release program too.
It should not be more like CS GO at all. They need to go back to the roots of BF2
I am in a unique situation as I was not going to purchase another EA/DICE game ever again as a result of the lies and greed that were fed to us PC gamers in regard to BF3/4, but because I run a very large gaming community where i review games in great detail I had to. This is a very small review since i have only played the game for about 30 minutes.
The Frostbite engine created for BF3 in its alpha state was a true PC game engine and then somewhere towards the release of the beta the platform was switched to console first making the frostbite engine a console port. Frostbite 2 would remain the same. The hit detection was also switched and changed to client side hit detection and we all know what that did to the game play. Very frustrating. Both BF3 and 4 have the feel of a perpetual beta game with no finish in sight.
Back to the topic at hand and this is for anyone thinking about this game. It is also an unfinished, console port with many cinematic, unplayable scenes added. The game feels all wrong from the start and I decided to uninstall and stop playing it. I would suggest not purchasing it to the OP.
I miss the days of Bf 1942 and it's many mods like Desert Combat, but even more I miss BF2 and it's mods. That's when DICE wasn't hampered by the EA bean counters catering to the damn consoles. I know that I am waxing poetic here, but it just seems as if those days are gone forever.

CS is and has been since its launch one of my guilty pleasures. The latest incantation (GO) I feel is a step backwards, but it is still fun.
I enjoy it more than I do any of the "Call of Modern Battlefield Online" games but it shouldn't be more like CS GO, for the following reasons.
We already have CS GO. What's the point of having more than one game that's the same. If you want to play CS GO, play CS GO.
CS GO is by no means the shining example of FPS gameplay. CS was the best when it first came out in 1999, but a lot has changed since then. The game rewards twitchy fast paced game styles over careful strategy, and many of the game elements are so disconnected from reality as to be absurd. (jump up to peek over a box while zoomed in with a sniper rifle and insta headshot someone across the map while in the air anyone?) Not to mention rampant cheating.
CS GO is a deeply flawed game. They have dialed in the model to make it highly addictive, but it is still deeply flawed.
A good FPS game needs to slow the pace down and make it more deliberate. Increase the dependence of strategy and deemphasize fast twitchiness. Make bullet physics and weapons handling more realistic, and less like circus acrobatics.
Red Orchestra 2 is fantastic in this regard (though it has its own problems)

It requires it, why the hate towards Origin? Its actually a very good client

I will similarly refuse to purchase any titles that rely on that new Xbox/Games For Windows Live part 2 thing that's supposed to be a part of Windows 10.
Waiiiiiiit there is a GFWL 2?!?! I thought they learned from the first one that it was a terribad idea and gave up
Doubt you will get your valve from your money anywhere else. Games give the most hour per dollar over almost every form of entertainment. For any game.

It may have improved, but it certainly wasn't on launch.
In general I am entirely opposed to the fragmentation of ecosystems for game (or any other) content delivery.
I want to have a single unified client for ALL my titles.
Right now Steam has more titles than anyone else, and as such Steam is the only client installed on my machine. It's not ideal, but I will not waver on this. One client only.
