Stellar work in some areas, others not so much. Here we go...

Pros:

◘ Most weapons have great sound design.
◘ High quality (modeling/texturing) AFV's, APC's and prime movers.
◘ A rather good campaign though the ending feels lackluster and tacked on.
◘ Weapons, infantry gear, uniforms, and deployables that are incredibly well modeled and textured.
◘ Largest map ever officially released featuring summer and winter variants with the border walls, defenses, and obstacles as they really were at the time.

Cons:

◘ Poor foliage (forest) placement.
◘ Terrain bugs. Oh the terrain bugs.
◘ Some structures models and textures leave a lot to be desired.
◘ Some animations look either weirdly comedic or downright abysmal (eg. reloading on the move).
◘ The campaign, while certainly enjoyable, is completely hampered in places (tank missions) by Arma's horrendous AI pathing.

Conclusion:

It's rough around the edges in places but overall fairly solid and going to improve over time with updates, which include upcoming rotary-wing assets. So, if you've got a Cold War gone Hot hankerin' then GM - Cold War Germany is for you.
