But the big question: did they finish with Crazy Race or Cholo?

It's VBS2, though, not arma.

He did mention 'variant' in the title to be fair. As for the article, it's an interesting idea I guess lol.

Hmmm. Guess I can't read.

Though if you want to go all technical on me, Arma is more of a variant of VBS than the other way round. Eat that!

Actually, VBS is variant of Arma. The first VBS got made around 2001, based on the OPF. VBS2 is based on the original Arma 1.

It's a "variant" 'cuz each Mil customer configs VBS to fit their needs. Kinda like modding ArmA
