Black Forest is a cake.

Well, first of all Black Forest is a... forest... :D

It's located in southwestern Germany.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_forest

That's where the name for the cake came from.

To the map: AWESOME. I can't wait holy crap :p

And by wait I really mean wait. I'll be able to play in mid-September earliest :cryy:

The picture of Solnichniy looks just as real as a photograph.

Just the town sizes are a bit small :(

Chernogorsk the largest city seems to be around Cayo's size

I made a collage to get the whole map viewable as one single jpg. You can find it here:

Oh, I see there are even bigger sized versions available from this thread:

Hi carl gustaffa, thanks for your effort :) there is also mine http://arma2base.de/content/images/southzagoria.jpg

But why is everyone using low jpeg compression? I don't understand :confused:

[MehMan 0]

probably because they chopped it together with paint.

[Andi 10]

Hey nothing against Paint... that's my most used tool at work after Excel :D

[S!fkaIaC 10]

Beautiful, that Chernarus, isn't it?

And BIS can expand in future releases the land mass towards North and West.

ArmA 2.16 might cover complete EurAsia :D

i hope that the community will do it...

[S!fkaIaC 10]

i hope that the community will do it...

well, in this case I hope BIS is doing it to make sure expansions are wide spread and following a common design for that region

Shouldnt there be some new gameplay videos today or atleast tomorrow? If the game is supposed to be released in Germany in two days, the game must be in the stores now, just not out for sale, right? There are always a few leaks 3-2 days before release since the game is already boxed and sent out to stores.

Let's take your bed and pillow and sleep in the media store? To play ArmA 2 inside the shop on computers for sale? :D

Nice marketing idea, would consider it if I would be such a shop owner:

ArmA 2 LAN party in the night 28/29 May, battlefield streamed via virtual ingame-cam to the internet.

Black Forrest would be actor Forrest Whittaker, the godlike lead in Ghost Dog.

They do that with really big titles like GTAIV and such that bombard us with advertisement weeks before its release. Some stores have them big titles in their shelves a few days early to sell more than other stores.

That surely won't be the case for ArmA II.

*sniff* poor ghost dog, he was just just trying to make his retainer happy.

Why does it say map of the Northern Province is there going to be a Southern Province or something? So is Chernarus a much bigger country and in Arma 2 we only get a chunk of it

[alx 20]

Yes. In one of the pdf pages from the Tactical Gamer review "Info" download it shows a map of the whole of Chernarus, of which the game area is the top right quarter.

Perhaps BIS plan to expand to other regions of Chernarus with an expansion.

[maddogx 13]

That's correct. We're getting the area called "South Zagoria", which is the north-east corner of Chernarus. The whole country is supposed to be a bit larger. Maybe we'll get more of it in an expansion pack.

[whisper 0]

Hehe, they put in Dolina. Same village as in OFP:R ?

"A bit larger" is good..... Maybe like 5 times as large would be better -> see Presskit of chernarus.

OMG!!!!!! Not again :eek::eek:

Let me please kill Morphicon?:rolleyes::butbut:

Some quotes free translated:

"I don't know what has ridden the devs to release a game in such a miserable shape, really. Basically NOTHING is working. Yes its really that Bad. We are testing Arma2 currently with two editors and both can't stop cursing."

"Graphic-Bugs, NPCs stuck in walls, non working AI, popping-up error messages, script-bugs, non working campaign, it completely ruins gameplay"

It is the release version.......the verison which you can buy in 2 days in every store.

There are even people of some computer-forums reported, who installed the version already today (too) and they even have bugs during installation...

Does this link work for you?:
