Daddl 10 Posted October 29, 2006 Amazon.de does only send PC Games and Computer Software to the following Countries:... I don't think that list is complete. Norway isn't on that list but they accept my order from Norway... Seems to be only EU countries there. Which would exclude Norway, wouldn't it? But it's not only this way around, try ordering software from Amazon.com from Germany - doesn't work either. I tried to get the (then brand new) VS2005 from them early, but couldn't order it for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Postal69 0 Posted October 29, 2006 I know how you feel Dudester. I'm with you. Actually I would pay an insane price for getting the game in english ASAP. How do you plan to play it with german writings? Just like ofp.. Armed Assault will be highly moddable.. all i'm guessing is will take a someone to translate the string text found in the file.. and overwrite it.. I give it a week after the german release date b4 it will be avalible to d/load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dudester 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Does highly moddable mean highly cheatable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l etranger 5 Posted October 30, 2006 Does highly moddable mean highly cheatable. Not really, because not same game content = desync, crash etc... But if you speak about hack / hook and other cheat, yeah ArmA will be as vulnerable as any other game. That's why people here mainly play it coop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunkers 0 Posted October 30, 2006 I bet the 20 days between czech release and german release (it seems clear now most of us in here will get the german version) will be a real test of my nerves. Reading the "Yahooooo!!" feed-backs of the chosen ones will be very revarding, yet very painful  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperandy 0 Posted October 30, 2006 SOBR[1st-I-R] @ Oct. 29 2006,18:53)]@ SniperAndy - Mate I would'nt call that spamming... its spreading an valuable information and not spreading bullxxxx and anyways... how often did you "mention" (I dont use the word "spam" here) the amazon walk-through and stringtable thing ? Thanks man! I guess that would be cause people keep asking the same question over and over again. I can still remember your post a few weeks back when you claimed to have a appointment over at 505 games to cut a deal on ArmA with them etc etc... and I stop now cause Placebo is gonna wake up. Oh yeah and you might have missed the " " in that post I made... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkOmen 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Response when I emailed Idea Games about digital distribution: Quote[/b] ] HI Jonathan,we are still discussing ArmA distribution in US. Online distribution won't be possible before UK release. Thank you for your interest in our game. J.R. Jiri Rydl Marketing & PR IDEA games http://www.idea-games.com Looks like UK release is my only option. Getting a foreign version isn't very appealing plus it would probably be more trouble than it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 30, 2006 i'd assume they dont want to piss off their publishers by cutting their profits by offering online downloads before the publisher releases the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caveman 0 Posted October 30, 2006 TBH its probably going to better to wait for the uk release then order one from germany as the game is bound to be buggy at first....just look at ofp when it was 1.0 even at 1.96 there were still bugs....lol i just hope this time the bugs get ironed out quickly and we dont have to suffer for yrs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leckig 0 Posted October 30, 2006 I am in the USA but I was hoping to get ArmA by mail from my family in Poland. Well, I see that polish relase has been delayed to my birthday (11/24), which is one on one side, but after soooo many delays (at one point I hoped to play OF2 a year ago! ) I am really loosing hopes now.... Do you guys think we will get to play this year? ps. sorry, I posted this as a new thread, I am not used to the interface of this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrBobcat 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Because the amount of the push-back in the Polish release was so little, I doubt there will be any future ones unless there is some sort of mass logisitical failure. You can have faith in the dates that are in place right now until they are announced to change by the publishers themselves. - dRb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperandy 0 Posted October 30, 2006 ArmAmods.net Interview with Ian Howe of 505 Games: Exclusive Interview with 505 Quote[/b] ]Q: It was recently announced on several community sites that 505 Games won’t release ArmA before Q1 2007. Do you have a precise release date yet?-It is true. We need to localize the game in different languages to offer the players maximum enjoyment and user friendly experience. We do not have a precise date of release, but we can tell you that we are aiming at a February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneoff 0 Posted October 30, 2006 well i dont understand if the original is in english, how it is we must wait? i reference the demo and all tech vids for the english connection. seems to me once again there is something omitted somewhere ,it dont make sense,if its localised then release it in staggered dates,they wont be setting a presidence because it will have already been out in germany czech r and poland etc. p.s in reference to marketing excuse. well i think most people know ofp sold thru word of mouth not hollywood style adverts. just my opinion player1 setamount of effect on arma release = 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted October 30, 2006 True, I can't imagine the English version will require much tampering at least. Seems they're gonna lose out on quite a few customers to other publishers between next month and February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
