Steam is great, but with a game like Arma2, there are a few problems. First, I'm guessing we'll need all of the computer resources we can muster. So running Steam in the background will kill 49,000K of resources. Second, the main/only reason to get Arma was to mod the game. And modding games in Steam is a little bit of a PITA. I'd rather stick with the tried and true structure of Arma's mod folders rather than try and rig something with Steam. Just my opinion.
Dan Neale:
maybe a demo or some gameplay vids on a new version which isn't the february build???Please, please, please release this on Steam with a demo. Does BIS understand that if a good and I mean good demo is released on Steam how much cash they would be rolling in? Steam is the new "Walmart" of video games. Cha-ching at the virtual cash register!!
Oh good, another shouty marine.
A friend looked at my games shelf the other day and accused me of having a fetish!
well dudes...its time to fasten those boots and gear up. we are about to embark on another fantastic journey of heart pumpin action and early mornings....cant wait for this beast. locked and loaded !!!
I wonder what's going to happen with the US release side of things. I might just order the euro version when released instead of waiting 6 months later for a US release, hehe. :D
Can we have the European version via Sprocket web purchase?:dozingoff
Great news. Progress is going well
Packshot says PEGI-16 and 505-site says PEGI-18. Which is it?
It would be nice to release everywhere... And maybe a demo?
Couldn't they come up with something more original then...a US Marine pointing at us(buyers) and a face expression like "hey look at those simulation freaks screaming of happynes that they finally got ArmA2!!!LoL them look so funny!!!:D"
