I say get Section 8 if you enjoy playing online, Dragon Age if you like rpg's and dont like playing online and i cant say anything about Operation Flashpoint or Armored Assualt 2 since i havnt played or seen these before.

I played Section 8 demo and wasn't that impressed with it. I have Operation Flashpoint 2 on my PS3 and love it but I don't know what it's like on PC and I haven't played ARMA 2 yet.

So I would have to say Operation Flashpoint 2.

None of them are particularly great. No-one plays Section 8 because of a server-fail on launch and OPF:DR is empty because of the lack of dedicated servers, meaning everyone just drops out because of high ping, it's like MW2 but far worse.

Arma 2 is good if you can get into the community and have a computer that can run it without dying, that game can be seriously demanding considering its pedigree. Also the UI is very unfriendly so expect it to be hard to get in to.

ARMA 2. True military sim, and better community. Section 8 is kinda dead/dying thanks to MW2, OP:Rising Dragon ( a wannabe Operation Flashpoint ), and ARMA 2 (The modding community is godly).

I like all these people are replying even though they havn't played the game. 'Well i havn't played all the games but i think you should get flashpoint'. Stupid.

Having actually played all the games, arma 2 is probably my favourite due to all the game modes that are avaliable. I recommend getting a good PC for it though to fully absorb the experience. Also the vehicles in it are the best. Where else are you going to be able to drive a civilian helecopter and look around the interior as your flying it ..... which ended up with me flying into a tree ...

ARMA 2. If you're even considering it, you must recognise that it's a seriously hardcore military simulator. This game has by far the highest replayability and potential playing time contained in it; the original Operation Flashpoint, designed by the same developers, had mods being made for it six or seven years after its release. The campaign is great fun, and the editor, Armoury and multiplayer modes add massive amounts of extra fun to the game.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is not a proper military simulator, and thus not a sufficient sequel to the original Operation Flashpoint. ARMA 2 is the true successor to the original Operation Flashpoint, and represents better value for money.

Section 8 is disappointing. Avoid it.
Section 8 just came out at a bad time, the game is decent with its twist on dynamic missions as they tend to keep it fresh unlike -cough-cough- Battlefield post-2142 with only one game mode, Conquest.

It's too bad there is not enough actual humans playing the game, and there are few servers filled with hummies.

Additionally, there's a little bit too little content (Maps, Weapons, Vehicles) and too little customization in an era where such trivialities add to the experience.

Oh and ARMA 2 replay value and the easy to use mission editor is amazing, creating large scale battles and just watching it unfold is even more fun than actually partaking in the slaughter.

I can't vote. I've never played arma or section 8, and flashpoint was dissapointing. I much prefered cold war crisis, since there was a map editor right away.

I got section 8, the single player lasted 3 hrs and the multiplayer was dull and boring. In short: not worth getting.
