***** Update *****
Maruk informed the community on the
BI forums about the current status of the much anticipated ArmA2 demo.
Quote Maruk :
I am pleased to confirm that we are planing to launch the ARMA II Demo soon (however, it may not be this week as was previously expected).
The demo will feature a lot of content for singleplayer, multiplayer and also mission editing and will be 2+ GB large due to amount of content we decided to include.
More information on the exact release plan and demo content will follow in coming days.

On the
BI forums,
ohara stated that the Arma 2 demo is expected to come out sometime next week. Most likely Monday or Tuesday.
Quote ohara:
Demo will be released next week, I expect monday or tuesday. We are now testing it, as we cut a lot of data and landscape it's quite difficult to not forget anything. Size will be around 2 GB.
Thanks,
ohara, for this wonderful information. If you want to, you can discuss this on
our forums.
Thanks also to Blackheart_Six for the heads up in our forums.
A demo would be nice for those who don't have the game but are curious. :yes
wow i cant wait! :happy
Will it be single or multiplayer? Or both?
good question... i would think multi and tutorial
Good news! For those who does not have game
Already preordered the game, but atleast I can kill a few days with the demo
Personally i dont find the "demo" idea good enough..
Instead of BIS spending time to build the demo version,they could "focus" to release
the full ArmAII 2-3 days earlier (or make the 1.17 for ArmA I )
:no
Ayger>> Yeaaaahh ... righhttt ... why would they try to make money ?
Mabye so that people who are not sure about the game can try it out? ...
releasing a demo is a MUST, till the point i won't buy Arma II until i try the demo. no demo, no party
get ready to be dissapointed, i played OFP and ArmA for years and ArmA 2 is the worst of them...
that's not only my opinion; german PC ACTION magazine ratet ArmA 2 with 43% and everyone I know who bought ArmA 2 stayed with ArmA and doesn't play ArmA 2 any more...
don't hate me now, just play the demo (if it works) and make your choice!
Don't really care about what some german mag says. They got a crappy version just about everyone knows that. Everything I've seen looks great so far I already pre ordered and am going to enjoy it when I get it.
they tested a the patched version and were not able to play the campaign because of some bugs!
i also played the campaign and after the first mission i stopped because it sucked - i make my own missions in editor anyway, that's the only thing that works properly...
so if you are a mission-maker (with good hardware) you can go ahead and buy it, otherwise i can only recommend you to play the demo!
peace
i jizzed my pants
@Ayger
Bis Always releases a demo. When a company releases a demo They KNOW the game is going to be great. How many crappy games have you bought and thought if There was a demo I would have never purchased it. A demo is just a developers confidence in a game not to mention it makes us happy.
