NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I know you all know but no one has posted and if they did I've missed the thread, BIS confirms with 505 Games the release date for ARMA II as staggered. Czech German, UK(european), USA versions All releasing at different dates (their excuse is no global distributer) so what's going to happen? Are we going to wait for an English copy and play (hooky) on the first one out or are we all going German ? I know they are shooting themselves again like with ARMA1 but I thought I'd ask.....

custard~SPARTA~ Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I remember the debacle last time and will wait until the English and US versions are both out and compatable. I know we as a group could do with getting on a game early to help grow our numbers but whats the point of all having the game unless we can actually play together.

DaiSan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Personally I'm waiting for the UK release, I ain't doing the dodgy translation shit again and tbh this is only ArmA 2 so I'll continue playing ArmA ACE until we can all play as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) I will wait till the retail version for US comes out and get it then. Also, the wiki has release dates for all, other than US. End of may to the end of June. Unknown on US date but should be sooner than later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmA_2 Edited May 7, 2009 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebb Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I am more than happy with our current server 4 setup so I will wait until the UK version is released before getting it.. I may "preview" it when it comes out though just to put some personal concerns to the test.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_1 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Purchase of game will depend on computer setup at the time, probably the Swahili version will be out by the time I get a PC capable of running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuGJJUK Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 One of our guys ordered from game at £24.99 and they have just sent him an email explaining that the release date has changed and is now 26th June ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Unless they moved it back to the 26th again, the date still stands at June 19th according to the above post. "505 Games and Bohemia Interactive are thrilled to announce that the release date for the upcoming tactical military simulator ArmA II forward by precisely one week, to 19th June 2009." I think the store he pre-ordered at has outdated information. I will be pre-purchasing soon. Anyone know if there will be a collector's or limited edition? My guess is no, but the option is always good. Edited May 20, 2009 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of such a thing happening! I'll never forget the GRAW announcement "We at ubisoft are pleased to announce that the release date will be delayed another 6 months!"

Xross Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 ARMA II SHOWCASE TO RECEIVE LIVE TWITTER UPDATES Milton Keynes, 19th May 2009 ? 505 Games and Bohemia Interactive have ensured that all ArmA II fans awaiting updates on the game won?t miss a thing from the upcoming UK showcase and demonstration sessions in London by setting up a dedicated Twitter feed for the event.

Morgan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Had to laugh at the 'playable animal' comments. Apparently you can edit animals into the game and assign them as playable. One of the twitter-ers mentions having great fun hunting his buddy who was playing a Boar... Also heartened by the mention of a demo to be released shortly. Gettin all exicted now...

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I may have to sit out of this one for a while until I update my computer, but it'll be fun to test it out on the demo if it comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
