I think I played the ArmA1 demo around 2009 when ArmA2 came out, I joined a multiplayer game of Warfare, bought myself some AI and helicopter and had AI fly me to an objective where we all got killed. It was immense, but somehow too big for me, so I left it.
I tried the ArmA2 demo twice and hated it, the preprocess blur and head bobbing gave me a headache and vertigo and I thought this was built into the game and could not be changed so I didn't bother with ArmA2 until I asked Deadfast (now a BI dev) about A2 and he directed me to ArmA2 Free (so this was back in 2011) and a thing called Video Options in the menu.
It was in the middle of an Evolution game, I was stuck north of Chernogorsk with an AK and spent RPG18, fighting off mechanized USMC when I realized this could be a game for me. I bought A2 and OA on Steam and spent the next year playing Domination, for a while barely exploring any other game types or missions.
I did Google "arma sp missions" once, first finding wolle's ArmA2 ports of OFP missions where one called "Battlefields" became my favourite for being a total meat grinder. One other mission I did take a look at was hyperlinked in the signature of this BI forum user called Variable who kept replying in mission threads made by sander whose mission packs crowded my mission list as well. I took a closer look at that signature and here I am.
