So you're not enjoying a game and you want people to convince you that you should be enjoying it?

Personally, I had a hard time getting into Arma 1 single-player. Even MP had its issues with the AI. I'd move on to other things that make you happy, and if you are interested in the idea of Arma 1, I'd give Arma 2/Operation Arrowhead a try. It's a much better game (although the campaigns will continue to be weak).
