Just got it today, and it looks great! I found it at Microcenter here, near Atlanta, GA.

For those of you who have been living under a different rock and have never heard of Operation Flashpoint, it is, in my opinion, the best modern day infantry simulator. First or third person perspective, very realistic, you can have a up to a 12 man squad with you which you can command as a squad or each individual in that squad seperatly.
You can drive tanks, jeeps, humvees, planes, boats, copters, etc..The mission editor is very powerful and fairly easy to use, and the playing field can be as small as you want it, or as large as the whole island(there are 4 islands I think), which are fairly huge. Will take about an hour to drive from one end to the other in some cases.
I could never get into Operation Flashpoint, I think at the time Counter Strike had a hold over me But yeah its well known as one of the best shooters of all time... But you want another good shooter team base then try Battlefield 2142 or battlefield 2 lots of fun! Watch out for kingkaos (thats me) im always a sniper or medic.

Ive been reading up about Arma combat yet haven't been swayed yet to go out and grab it. Does it have a good point scoring online?
