Sadly, yes.
I'm at an advantage though, having played Operation Flashpoint.

Had to restart a couple of missions as some essential plot device will simply fail to materialise, very irritating.

I expect there will be user created patches before long that solve most of the glaring errors.

that said, on highest settings it is visually impressive and scary.
