Figured I'd have to share these:
This one looks like the best:

This one looks shorter, but also ranks extremely high:

And when you're done with those, how about a random campaign mission generator?:

This is the must mod for ArmA - Don't leave home without it!:

PS. Queen's Gambit is out. Ranks about a 7 on 10, so it may be a bargain bin addition for me.

Nice, I gotta say though, I can't wait for Armed Assault 2(Previously OFP2), I mean comeon, it will have 4(or was it 5?) campaign modes!
Linear campaign ala OFP1
Semi-linear campaign ala ArmA
Totally dynamic campaign(Pick side, role, fight, win or lose)
Online co-op persistent campaign servers!
I can't wait, I just hope they improve the AI, it gets annoying being headshotted by an AK constantly from a 200 meters range.:)

ArmA 2 and OFP 2 are two different games. ;) I myself am waiting for OFP 2. Pretty much lost interest towards BI's work when ArmA came out. The guys can do so much more than what there is in ArmA, but they only do it for the VBS 2, which costs ~$2000.

GLORIA is entertaining. Takes the Guba approach from an American perspective. A rogue American general has some gun / drug smuggling going on. I wonder if he has a nuke like Guba did too?

The VBS' been there from OFP times and has always had improvements over the "public games". The engine is the same, but you can for example customize the AI alot more, the AI acts like an soldier, there's a real-time mission editor, even the tracers look like real tracers instead of colored lines. Oh and most of the sounds are changed too, to a real ones, why they didnt do this in ArmA beats me.
Here's the website of VBS2:

And here's an trailer showing the stuff it has:

But we shall see, maybe OFP2 won't turn out total crap, maybe Codemasters will actually make a decent game themselves :D
I won't keep my hopes up though, when it comes to realistic military sims Bohemia have more experience, especially if you take into consideration the VBS series.

This the exact reason I'm not waiting for ArmA 2. They cant give you the über realistic military sim as long as they make the VBS for the military. And as I see ArmA 2 being released 2008, it will most likely use modified engine of what they have now and the engine is something that holds the whole series down if you ask me. Way too limited for today's standards.

I doubt it will come out 2008, I believe it'll be delayed.
And I disagree with them making titles for the military holding the company down, it's another part of the company doing that, BIS Australia, isn't it?
Besides, I know quite a few devs whom do government contract games too, but their commercial games still turn out great, an example being PoA2(Point Of Attack 2) from HPS Simulations, but its a bit different I guess, the game was done on behalf of the US Department Of Defense and such, and then they got a license to release the program commercially, but they had to remove some features, such as the ability to add in ammotypes etc.
But my point being is that they will never do a über realistic simulation for the gamers, because then the military would buy the 50€ game instead of the ~$2000 VBS. ;)

It's not about money, its about the fact that it's a game, and far more effort goes into making VBS1 than goes into OFP/ArmA series, because the OFP/ArmA series are still intended as ENTERTAINMENT; whereas the VBS games are designed from ground up specifically for military training, for example, afaik VBS1 didn't ship with any premade campaigns full of voiceovers etc.:)

Personally I don't give a **** about what BIS says will be in Armed Assault 2, they quite ****ed up with Arma.
I never thought I am going to say this, but I hope for Operation Flashpoint 2 by Codemasters.
@Gargantou:
It's not just the gameplay, but there's quite a few graphical improvements and details that arent in OFP nor ArmA. Things like better tracers, openable hatches and moving parts on pretty much every vehicle etc.

But anyway, all we can do is wait and see, for me, OFP2 won't do crap unless it contains a fully dynamic campaign, I've been fed up with linear campaigns in 'sims' these days, and spoiled by the fully dynamic campaign featured in Falcon 4 Allied Force!

Use the camaign generator above then. It will do something similar.

By the way, I forgot to mention that GLORIA may actually be better than the original game. It uses real characters and they have conversations - ala. Resistance style. I am thinking I like it better so far over the actual shipped campaign. It has much more story to it.

You can also host yourself an MP game running the Evolution mission, though it would take ages to clean every town and as far as I know you can't save an MP mission, most unfortunately.

I would like to know what it is like to play GLORIA ?
Really looking forward to playing ArmA again. But it still must wait for my next upgrade. Which I keep postponing. It udes to be Christmas, now it's March ..
Things I am looking forward to most is being able to play in the 80's and the option to play for the other side.
