Some people buy AA2 and try to do too much too fast and end up frustrated with the big complex missions and campaigns out there.
The game can be as simple or as complicated as you want, so the trick is to start simple at first and work your way up during following weeks and months.
For example the simplest way to get into the game right after buying it is to have fun trying weapons in the Armory, because it's not just a shooting range, IT AUTO-GENERATES SIMPLE MISSIONS for you!
For example, choose a rifle to try, and you'll be plonked at a random spot on the map to play with it, then after a while (average 45 seconds) a message will come up offering you a mission (Attack,Defend,Survive,Steal,Hunt etc) which you can accept or decline.
If you decline it, it'll offer you another mission after about 45 more seconds.
The missions are auto-tailored to suit whatever weapon you chose to try, e.g. if you chose a rifle the AI enemy will be mostly infantry, and if you chose an AT-launcher or SAM, they'll be mostly AFV's or Aircraft.
I only mention the Armory missions because many newcomers don't know they exist.
Like I said, you have to wait for about 45 secs to be offered a mission, so stick around.
Oh, and they're damn difficult to win, I only win about 1 mission in 3 despite using all my cunning to stay alive, so they're great training tools and you'll be pushed to your limit to survive..
IMPORTANT:- You only get a few Armory weapons to play with after buying the game, and have to 'unlock' the rest by racking up points later (a bit silly if you ask me), but luckily you can get instant access to ALL weapons by inserting the line armoryPoints=50000; into your profile.
Here's part of my profile showing how the line looks sitting in there-
floatingZoneArea=0;
headBob=0.062641099;
armoryPoints=50000;
sceneComplexity=300000;
viewDistance=2400;
