I was utterly surprised that ArmA Tactics is available for PC on steam!
Official release is October 1st but you get the beta as an incentive for preordering!

Well if it's the exact same as the game on iPad/iOS... it's a great idea that is all broke. I want to like it, a cool idea... but my biggest beef is the hits are all percentage wise... IE: I could be across the map with a M14A3, and 3 feet away from the bad guy... and depending on the percentage hit could hit far and miss close, or visa versa... also I can take hits from a ground unit shooting up to a roof with me crouched behind a cement wall... it's a great idea, executed all wrong... but maybe they fixed it, but I doubt it.

I purchased it yesterday, even with some misgivings. I'm a sucker for turn based strategy games with a real-life theme like this. Haven't tried it yet though.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

I did buy it to, and I feel like I should get a refund!
