I guess I should rephrase my question to, can you name a game that has a non-linear storyline? Those are all just 'sandbox'-style games - there's nothing wrong with them, many of those are classics that I have installed myself and play regularly - but beyond maybe a few short campaigns they have no storylines to speak of. That is why I'm confused as to how you can file Armed Assault under something other than these kinds of games. Yes, it gives you the short campaign (which is surprisingly open-ended itself, there are several optional side-missions that can be completed in a variety of ways that will impact future missions) but beyond that the island of your Sahrani is your sandbox. If you just want to fight without a story to steer you around and are allergic to multiplayer, it's not hard to pick a spot in the editor and drop a few squads of infantry, or download one of the hundreds of third-party missions available.

But what do you mean by non-linear storyline, do you mean one of those ****ty games that have 3-4 choices along the way? I prefer to play my way, basicly to write my own story within the game. I mean if I play through Arma once, whats the point of playing it again besides to do the same set of missions in a slightly different way? Also opening an editor and spawning enemies isn't fun.
To me. games like that are just a waste of money, Buying Half Life 2s orange box was the biggest mystake in my life, I bought it played through once and I haven't touched it since.
