Guys, Plainsman is so right - GR will apparently never die, due to its excellent MP and huge amount of missions available from a still significant modding community. MP always seems to be fun, I've never walked away feeling like I wasted my time - as in several of the later so-called Tom Clancy series implementations, whether RB6 or GR series. Plainsman, you're old gang never sees you on ICQ, or SimHQ server - but we still to this day occasionally yell in the midst of Steel Beasts or ArmA, "HEY! These guys are SHOOTING AT ME!!", and raise a toast to you.
LOL! I don't have Steel Beasts or ARMA2. I guess I do have ARMA1 but uninstalled. I've been playing a lot of Ghost Recon lately. I still find people to play with on ubi.com. I'd rather play with you guys, but you're always playing ARMA.
Anyway, single-player is fun too. I'm able to try out all these add-on maps, missions, mods and equipment.
You guys absolutely HAVE TO TRY the friggin' weapons mod with the Star Wars/Star Trek Pulse Rifles and Phaser pistols. The Pulse Rifles are unbelievable. Literally lighting guys up! And there is an add-on mission called Fort Apache that's crazy. You're in this Fort and the enemy is coming at you from outside and they've got tanks!
