As much as the micro-managing tactician within me got a blast out of the original Armed Assault II, the sheer number of problems with it was pretty hard to ignore. There was the game's primary campaign for example, which remained somewhat broken even after several patches and delivered an inconsistent, awkwardly-scripted experience.
ACE - When people come up with something good like ARMA II, they want to give the fans more. Sometimes, that means a full blown sequel. Sometimes, it's an expansion pack, and Bohemia Interactive decided this was the way to go. With Operation Arrowhead, they give us some new goodies which were missing for one reason or another in the original game. At the same time, they take away the tight storyline focus that made the base game so intense.
