Arma2 Release Date

Good news indeed :D

Kotaku.com said:
With Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising missing its originally planned summer release, original Flashpoint developer Bohemia Interactive scootches its spiritual successor's release up a week.

ArmA II will now be shipping for the PC on the 19th of June, one full week ahead of the originally planned release date. For awhile it seemed like Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and ArmA II would be hitting store shelves neck and neck, further fuelling the rivalry between fans who believe that Bohemia's games are the true Operation Flashpoint sequels and those supporting Codemasters' effort. The point is certainly moot now, with the delay of Dragon Rising separating the games by an entire season.

Consider this extra week icing on Bohemia fan's cake.

Can't help but feel team "Razor" sounds unbelievably cheesy. Kind of like some sort of 70's cop show... "Team Razor always gets their man!"
 
I take it this is just bringing forward the international release date?

I had thought it was released at the end of this month in Germany or Russia. I'm sure a similar thing happend with ArmA as well, it being released well ahead of it hitting shelves in this country.
 
The main problem with this game is you are going to have to wait a couple of months for all the good mod to come and for the game to be patched.

Why the quick release, dont they want it to be reviewed sounds a bit dodgy to me.

I would have thought it's more a case of capitalizing on OFP2's release slipping back, the more time between the release of the 2 gives the opportunity for more sales to the 1st released surely?

I am not going to complain about a game i am waiting for being released earlier than expected, makes a refreshing change from the usual!

And surely if there was any major need for a patch the release would not be brought forward in light of the competition being pushed back, i know there is the saying "if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is" but i personally think it's great a publisher has a product they believe is finished and can get it's release brought forward.

More likely though, they are rushing it through to sell more copies... and fix the bugs later... as what has happened in the past with this company :/
 
Excuse my stupidity, but could that just not be the Retail release dates?

It is not an "Official" group as far as I can tell.
