Don't buy it for the campaign. Its not good. The only reason you would buy it is to play online with people and to play custom missions. If you do intend on buying it get Combined Operations so you have Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. You'll also need a beastly PC to run it with a good frame rate.
Its a game built off of realism, not run and gun. It requires team work and patience to play it. If you're a Call of Duty run around and jump in the air whilst shooting people you will not enjoy it.
Personally I wouldn't buy it unless you plan on joining a realism unit or you have a group of friends that play it. Its not really a fun game to play alone or to just join random servers unless you have some buds with you on Ventrilo or TS3.
Also if you do get it you will need to download the ACE2 Mod. Most servers run it and it improves the game by like %400. More realistic weapon damage, weight, stamina, vehicle armor values, medical system, additional weapons and explosives, an improved backpack system. Tons of great stuff.

It was a terrible terrible game. In my opinion.

I suppose I forgot my overall opinion: With ACE and a good group to play with it will be an excellent gaming experience. If you're interested in the military and you want to play a realistic military game you will love it.

If you are just building a new PC and want to give it a workout, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is what you want.
DX11, amazing visuals with max settings
Far Cry 2
I know this is kind of old now, but this was one of the 1st games to take advantage of hyperthreading. Tons of detail.
Metro 2033 can also put a strain on your system, but I think that has to do more with the fact it is a bad port to PC. Game is fun if you like the genre though.
... and if you just wanted to know about arma 2, its not a game, its a military simulator.
