While I hadn't played a LOT of Arma 2 due to my poor system, I'll answer what I can:

1.

a. Yes

b. Yes

c. That's an entire article if not more, and even if I had the time I probably couldn't cover all of it.

d. As much as the server's machine can handle.

e. No licenses needed, just don't crash or people may get angry ;)

f. Depends on the map.

g. Depends on the map.

h. Depends on the map.

2. Steam is an option. Can't recommend it from experience, but I'm sure there are others who will. http://store.steampowered.com/

1: Much like most multiplayers work. You join, you pick a slot, and you play according to the system of rules or scenarios the game puts you through. In this case Missions, which in the future I hope to be mostly user made and not the stock missions by BIS.

A:Yes

B:Yes

C: All of the above. A TvT or PVP match can be altered or maded by the liking of the person who made the mission. That includes allowable weapons and vehicles, and the size of the AO in which the players are confined to (if there's any confinement at all).

D: Theoretically, a whole damn lot. It's dependant to what the server is capable of. Some servers can run 100 player matches, no this is not an urban myth, they do exists.

E: Again this is a mission side restriction. Some missions you can have any and all access to vehicles, weapons, and supplies. In some missions you litterally have to be in a Pilot designated slot to operate any aircraft. You can have several versions of the same mission where one is more restrictive than the other.

2. Forgive me if I do nto know which country you live in. Currently the game is available in Germany via Petersgames and Morphicon, there's plenty of threads discussing this, a quick search will bring them up. By next week the game will be released via hardcopy in the UK, and about another week afterwards the game will be released on Steam in the US and eventually the UK four days later (the UK steam release does not reflect on the hardcopy release, which will still be the 19th). Hardcopy release for the US has yet to be announced (last I checked) but information on it will be out soon, possibly after the demo is released either tomorrow or tuesday.

I hope this information helps you out some. Someone else should be along to elaborate further and explain things in better detail than I can.
