People who are saying the final game will not look this game are wrong,because i played ArmA and the graphics were better than Crysis,in a sense and you had the best customization of any game.

 

In the most calm manner I can muster, I believe though art wrong.

To be fair, that's not a screen from the final version but a WIP one that looks closer to OFP:Elite than to the actual ArmA (there are some really old screens hanging around on the net).

Here's an ArmA vanilla one:

Anyway, while I would say the graphics in parts of ArmA were severely underrated (funny quotes from people ala "it looks just like OFP!...while playing on their 5 years old PC), I wouldn't go as far to say it looked better than crysis. Well, in some areas perhaps, I like landscapes better in ArmA for example, but crysis just looks too good overall.

However, I played through crysis once, an hour or two of multiplayer and some messing around in the editor and that was it, nothing in comparison to the thousands of hours I've messed around with the missions editor in ArmA, but that's just me.
