Come on in..... I think a lot of the guys in here would be interested in your thoughts.
If you could give a rundown of the system you are using, windows, spec and the performance you are getting that would be great.
Im trying to gauge what exactly I should upgrade, although at the moment I'm thinking screw it and getting CPU, memory and Gfx... but then I'm thinking im going to be left with CPU/mem/GFX with no home to go to.. so I might as well buy mobo/PSU/mem/CPU/Gfx and transplant the innards to the family machine. Damn upgrading!
Sorry, I forgot.
Windows Vista 32-bit.
Intel 2.4 Quad Core,3 G RAM
NVidea 9800 at medium res with settings set to just under max, but I've still got gto play around with it. Absolutely smooth.
One thing though: From what I've gathered around the board here, my rig runs smoothly where more powerful machines seem to have difficulties. Don't know why that is, but I'm not going to ask questions. So please don't take my specs as an generally valid.
As for my thoughts: Even better than I anticipated, but I have to be cautious considering the small amount of time I've had with it. But until now I think it could hardly be better. I never played ArmA 1, so I can't compare, but I had Operation Flashpoint many years ago, and the atmosphere seems very similar, although this is naturally vastly superior in just about everything from OF1. Dynamic campaign. Yummy.

Works for all countries
I am VERY tempted.
I agree about discs being a faff.

After the nightmare i had with GRiD from Metaboli, in particular the release of patches, i swore never to use them again, and i'm sticking to it, the 19th will be here soon enough.
Soldato
if i buy this will it be in english or German?

The Metaboli version is German text with English Voice.
Easily translated using google translator and a few minutes.

Greatest game since paperboy
I'm seriously worried about performance, as that spoilt ARMA for me ....
I mean I was getting real lag problems and I have a Q6600 + 3.4 plus a 8800GTX
thing was the graphics weren't special either
also - felt very clunky - almost unfinished
I've my fingers crossed as its an excellent games series.

Seriously tempted also. Must resist!!!.
They can't be very far away from a proper English language release now, anyone got any new updates on that as far as dates go?.

19th of this month sees release of english version
I can confirm that the game DOES run across all for cores on a quad core system

Excellent, I assume that release date info is on the Arma 2 site?.
I think I will bite the bullet ( excuse the pun
) and wait till the 19th. I've got Velvet Assassin here to finish first anyway.

As it stands right now the game is broken 
The serious sound bugs ( if using surround / 5.1 sound ) totally ruin the game
see the other arma 2 offical thread 2 , for my detailed whine about it
In arma 1 I can tell exactly which direction incoming round are coming from
In arma2 the 3d sound is totally borked ( something coming from 12 oclock sounds like its hiding right behind you !)

Oh dear, this doesn't bode well at all.

Lower the post processing , might mitigate that slightly
Try setting fillrate to 100%, should sort that out.

Is it me or did the bike riding video just look ridiculous?!?! He was going the same speed as a motorbike up those hills, soldiers must have ripped leg muscles nowadays, even Lance Armstrong would have been passed up a mountain by that bloke!
