ArmA is a popular videogame series born from the ashes of a previous series and development studio. While many people will know the super realistic military simulator series on its own merits, not to mention three pretty good games, they will certainly know it as the series that gave birth to DayZ; which is, aside from minecraft, one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in gaming and, yes, it features zombies.

Operation Flashpoint is, however, the place where all of this nonsense began. Yes it didn’t look pretty, but back when Flashpoint was a series it didn’t matter so much about how your game looked. It was tense, it was tactical and it was extremely difficult. This wasn’t a game designed for people with short attention spans or no patience. This was exclusively for PC gamers and a good thing too. While the name still exists, with different people manning the helm, the series is a far cry from its former glory.
