Look dude, don't try to talk to me like I'm some casual. I play with 15+ mods from my ARMA2 folder, just spent all fucking weekend combining ARMA2 + OA into Combined Ops (another pain in the ass), and manually installed the same mods on my friends computer so he would have the same experiences. I've made missions, played tons of online LAN, blah blah blah. I love ARMA and everything BI does and tries to do.
But come ON. There are still missions in the campaign that still get broken. There are still times where my squad will wander off by their own. There are still times where I'll be injured as the squad leader and the AI does NOT heal me (well, they start to run toward me to heal, but then run off somewhere else) so I have to restart the mission. There are times where the AI will turn on their flashlights IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING NIGHT AMBUSH. It took the devs month to patch the game to a less-buggy, less-performance hoggy state. Every single expansion pack is like the release of ARMA2 all over again--buggy, horrible performance that has to be patched, broken missions. We still have missions that just do not end when they're completed.
ARMA2 is a beautiful game, but it's a buggy mess as well. Don't get pissy because I'm pointing out the obvious and outstanding flaws in a great game. I WANT the game to be better, so I can show it to my friends WITHOUT having to say, "Oh, ignore that, that's a bug, let me restart the mission".
