As a whole, it feels a lot more complete than Arma ever did. There are some bugs left (visual and otherwise), but my overall feeling is very positive.
Immersion Factor:
First of all the immersion in Arma 2 is second to none; from the ambient sounds of the wilderness, to the "clank" that your gear makes when you're running, the game does an excellent job of putting you in the atmosphere.
Graphics:
Graphically, Arma 2 has its highs and lows. The environment and vehicles look stunning, while the character models could use a little more detail.There are some minor graphical bugs (Tree LOD switching constantly between low/high res, some animations don't sync properly) but again Arma 2's graphics is a sum of its parts. (The first time you see the sun glistening on a pond I guarantee that your jaw will hit the floor )
The AI:
One area in which Arma 2 seems not to have improved (significantly) is the AI. Enemies still lay in the middle of the road waiting to be shot, AI movement is still janky and they seem to take a while to respond to threats (more testing needed). On the plus side the AI do use hand signals (as do you) when ordering subordinates, and they do use cover occasionally.
Performance:
Given that it is the first release, Arma 2 performs reasonably well. With my rig, I can set most settings on High/Very High and get a very respectable 45-60 fps. However, I tested framerates on empty islands with no AI or scripts running. I fully expect it to run at about 25-35 fps when I start the campaign. As a side note: The fillrate slider is an FPS killer, I had to leave that setting at 100 or I would get HUGE framerate drops.
Playability:
Arma 2 is, in my opinion, BIS's best game yet. Improved player animations, smoother transitions, reloading while moving etc. all add up to provide a much more comprehensive game than Arma ever was. With a little more polish (and a few more patches), I think it could be a sleeper hit of 2009.
Any more questions? Let me know. I will do my best to answer.
