yea i know but they still share a lot of features mate.Similar games but one is a sim like you said.

its like comparing DIRT2 againts forza 3. both are racing games but ones a sim yet i dont see people moan and groan on how forza 3 and dirt2 are two complete different games.

What is that Xyster, an airsoft gun or what and what's with the comment "It shoots through schools!" enlighten me please?

You read the daily mail perchance? See the youtube vid below lol

The comment about shooting through schools had better not be what I think it is.
If it is then shame on you.
Grow up.
I don't understand why people would want to own a rifle.
I served 14 years in the royal marines 42 commando and after seeing the damage and hurt they cause, I was glad to walk away from them. They should never be allowed in 99% of the situations they exist in.

Was it called upon to inform us of your military background? Personally i don't understand why anyone would want to join the marines - I know a lot of people from the armed forces, all 20+ yrs served - they all love guns? lol.. Personally i haven't been in the forces yet i know the dangers - I am a responsible person with a dry sense of humor.

To you both. Its my Weihrauch HW100 (12 ftlb) with IR Laser rig and night vision. To get the joke 'It shoots through schools' you'd have to see this clip from the film called 'johnny Dangerously' Here, i found the very clip:

Spot on. You couldn't compare Dirt2 to Richard Burns Rally - I cringe at people who try to comare their console racers to PC race/rally sims!

My m8 reckoned he was 'the' next world rally driver cos he played Dirt2 a lot with his wheel.. I gave him a go in RBR on my G25 and eyefinity setup. He didn't even get around the first corner, no joke! The rest of the stage was spent making excuses for every corner he ended up in the trees, it was a pretty easy stage too lol Then i showed him how it was done and it opened his peepers. Even then i went on to further explain RBR aint really comparable to the real thing either lol

fish and chips?

lol seriously sorry to bring this up but there are quite a lot of similarities between the two games but i feel that Arma 2 offeres a lot more than BC2.

BC2 use to be an open end sandbox game in maps that are huge but now they have dumbed it down for the masses making it more COD

Both different types of games, I enjoy both but I've always been a big simmer so if I had to choose one I'd choose Arma 2.

antran · 1 Jul 2010 at 15:45

both are fun to play. i had a blast when the arma 2 ocuk server was still up and running.

One is joining the armed forces to experience it first hand and the other one is going to a cinema to watch a war film

Two very different beasts and any comparisons are quite null frankly.

BFBC2 is ok, but if they didn't have the bugs it would be a good game, however found it to easy and got bored with the same maps. BF2 was my favourite game.

ARMA 2 not played but downloaded Operation Arrowhead, Big map. it's more tactical.
for example you can go on top of a hill and view a village, plan your attack. it also has weather changes and fantastic AI, the Public Coop is a let down though, you get moaned/kicked if you fly a helicopter without a mic, i actually heard some american asking permission to land i was like "wtf". he sounded like a right goon.

Would have been even funnier if he had just came into land and crashed into umpteen choppers that happened to be flying over the runaway and then kicked for tk then eh.

We used to run with a guy running all the aircraft, when to land, where to send choppers for pickup/dropoff etc.
