This forum reminds me of the Swat 4 forums.
People complaining about there not being a proper anti cheat and what looks like a game thrown out before it was ready without the proper support , Other more hardcore fans complaining about how poor the new game is compared to its predecessors having to rely on mods to make up for a game that was put together poorly.
I think that while you can have fun with this game, you are kidding yourself if you think it's a worthy installment of the GR series.
I would love to go onto [GR] and play some Coop but like Swat 3 there really is only a handfull of players ever around.
As for Armed Assault i will probably get it but the difference with the games i mentioned before was that they were all small squads and you felt elite whereas in AA and OFP you are just a grunt in a bigger army.
I guess all good things really do come to an end
