Featuring the most realistic warfare gameplay ever, ArmA II promises to build on the excellent features that have made Bohemia Interactive a respected name amongst both gamers and the US army, who use a modified version to train recruits for combat situations. Team-based combat, a comprehensive playbook of military tactics and an enormous battlefield to explore are just some of the features that will make this the military simulation of choice this year.You can nab the 3GB sampler, right here from AusGamers files.
ArmA 2 demo allows you to experience the unique gameplay featured in the full version of ArmA 2 including multiplayer, as well as samples of the vast amount of vehicles, weapons and units and realistic environment. The demo also contains a part of Chernarus terrain.
ArmA 2 is available now from Steam and due for an Aussie retail release on August 20, exclusively for PC.

I've never really played much of either, but I will definitely give a few of them a go to see if they are any good (having played BF2 etc).

Pity they released the demo with such ordinary missions though. Still, have bought, waiting for order to arrive.

No decision to be made, buying both regardless.
Yep, it's a very demanding game - wouldn't recommend for less than a decent gaming machine.

**Make sure if you pick up the game read this or at least browse it**

A lot of people in arma 2 hate it when people come in playing COD style instead of the spirit of the game, read through this and play cooperatively.

I've never seen anyone complain because someone's playing COD style. You simply cannot play ArmA like that - it's not possible.

Motion blur when panning and head movement when crawling are a bit over the top, minor gripes though.

Turn off post-processing in advanced video options. Apparently in the full game patch 1.02 you can turn off only certain post effects, which is nice. Bloom is too overpowering, as is motion blur and depth of field. If my eyes were as bad as their depth of field, I would get my arse down to OPSM to get contacts!

The coop mission on Gaming SA last night started on a carrier with a few UH-60s and an Osprey VTOL a/c. I was pilot, the Osprey is new, never flown it before, but I thought I would have a shot.
So I hopped in as pilot, 20 other dudes get in the back, and I start freaking out because I'm sure I'm about to get flamed when I kill em all on take-off, haha. I gave them fair warning.
Anyway, we managed to get to the mission target and we did a 20-man airdrop about 1km from the target. Some guy marked a point on the map and we all regrouped and assaulted the target.
One of the best multiplayer coop missions I've ever had. Not one Rambo on the server, everyone working together, moving slow. Was awesome.
Oh, and if you are thinking twice about buying - ArmA 2 smashes ArmA 1. It's really damn smooth and GFX improvement is phenomenal.
EDIT: Also, AG should mirror ArmA 2 patch 1.02
