OFP2 vs ARMA 2
Created by AVIBIRD1 maintained by OperationFlashpoint.org.
It should be noted while OFP2 seems like it is lacking features, many of ARMA2’s features are all ready modded into ARMA1. ARMA2 is around 80% ARMA1 and ARMA2 judging from video and pictorial content, still lacks the polish that makes a game. The same fate as ARMA1. So take this feature list with level of judgement and understand just because somthing is there dosn’t mean it is good.
