From the BIS CEO - Marek Spanel - over at the Arma II forums:

lol - I did get a chance to try it for 5 mins last night on multiplayer and it looks like the co-op mission thing is going to be good fun - can just imagine 6-9 of us on TS going for it!! I read that there should be an editor etc being released shortly so it can be modded to hell & back - might even be able to do some of the old GR missions!!

Seems that there is no dedicated server files out for it yet, so that would mean uploading 10gb to our box in london. However, as its not officially released until tomorrow, hopefully BIS will have some dedicated server files released over the weekend and possibly a patch!!

Feckin hell - took 45 minutes in the end to install fully!!

Am installing it now in the background as I work - it takes bloody ages and needs about 10GB of space - so far its been installing for 20 minutes and is about 70 percent through - lots of unpacking being done!!

Got my ArmaII disk in the post this morning!! Wont be able to get it installed until later tonight though.

Aye it does look very nice - and it'll be fun to try the co-op side of things again and possibly create some of our own missions!!

Just got an email this morning from Game telling me that ArmaII has now shipped to me - so I expect it anyday!!

Yeah they have started pre-loading on steam now.

Crikey that looks good!! Love the iron sights.

Got another email from Game today telling me the date is now changed back to 19th June!!

EA officially announces Crysis 2, with the expected news on Crytek's upcoming first-person shooter sequel, including word it will be released for consoles as well as PCs: Redwood City, Calif.

Cool - well done James!!

Yeah the AA community can be pretty good fun. I think I'll try again when its released and we can play it together to understand it better.

Yeah sorry dude - I have uninstalled it already... couldnt even be arsed to take pics.

Yeah that was a waste of time downloading - still as complicated as **** just to get into a game and figure out what the hell is going on - still all the stupid training to do so you can use certain weapons etc.... Looks not too bad though!

I am currently downloading the 3.2GB client at the moment - will post up some pics once I get it installed.

Yeah it does look cool.

Apparantly the UK release date has been changed to 26th June. I just got an email from Game who I ordered it from....

I just ordered my copy of ArmaII from Game -

Yeah I was thinking of getting it too!!

Armed Assault II now has an official release date next month.

omg - vulva has appeared from the ashes. Glad to see you online again and coming back to visit your 2nd home!! We're busy coasting through not doing much at the moment - waiting for the next 'good' game we can all get back into I think.

looks like fun, there's snow!! (and possibly snow buggies?)

yeah it might if they get rid of all the stupid honour and training BS.
