I remember that when [Arma 2](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMA_2) first came out, most of the reviews basically covered five points:

1. This thing is frickin’ beautiful
2. The sheer open-endedness and sandbox-y leanings promise lots of fun.
3. Wow, this game is really hard to learn.
4. Huh, a lot of these controls and interfaces could stand to be much more user-friendly.
5. OH GOD THE BUGS, THEY BURN LIKE NAPALM.

So, being a rather pernicious and hard-to-please gamer, I said to myself “This game looks totally awesome. I think I’m going to wait a year and see if the developers manage to patch it into some semblance of playability.”

It’s been almost a year since the release, so I’m hoping the board has at least a few people who are still playing and can tell me: did they ever make an effort at cleaning up the glitches? Or am I still at constant risk of having moods and fun multi-hour missions scrapped by a game or mission-breaking bug at regular intervals?
