Vagabond: ArmA 2 is infinitely times better than OFP ever was. Took me a long time to come to this realization, since OFP is one of my favorite games ever.
ArmA 2 is good (so is ArmA, for that matter) but it still runs like crap and has room for a few more patches. OFP is much cheaper, a lot of us already have it (I have all three OFPs, and the sequel made by Codemasters, but whatever :p), and it has MUCH lower sysreqs.
