ArmA2 Demo Release Today - 2PM GMT - 3PM CET - 6:00 AM PST

5 hours until Demo is available in Quebec :)

10am!

[maddogx 13]

Any news on what the demo will include?

And is the demo a fair indication of what graphical settings we'll be able to use in the FULL version?

From what I have gathered, the demo will contain a single player component (probably basic training and a few mission scenarios), a multiplayer component with up to 16 players and a small portion of Chernarus - I assume something like 5x5km. You can expect the graphics settings to be the same as in the full game. Anything else would be stupid.

It was also indicated that the demo will be the same version as the Steam release, and that the Steam release will be version "1.02+", meaning possible improvements over standard Arma2 1.02. :)

That's all I know/guess.

Dude, if it's four hours for the rest of us, it's four hours for you too. Think about it.

How can it be 5 hours to the release in Quebec if it's only 3 hours 50 mins to release in the rest of the world? ;)

Eh? 4 hours most? Hmm....to sleep or not to sleep...at 4AM..hm..

[mr_centipede 31]

@NodUnit... I suggest you go to sleep... I need all the available bandwidth to download the demo... besides, you will have to go to work... no time to play anyway :P

[GunnDawg09 10]

Well it will be released at 6am for me.... I am debating on taking a 5 hour energy shot and making a pot of coffee while frantically chain smoking cigs...

.... or just going to sleep :) My normal bed time is like 5:30am so I might as well stay up.

2PM GMT = 10 AM for Quebec.

Quebec Time zone is GMT -4

Now, since its actually 05:17 am here, 10 am is in aproximately 5 hours. 4 hours and 47 minutes to be exact.

Where am I wrong ?

Touche'. Yes your logic is sound, I was contemplating sleep since most likely servers will be clogged more then the rectum after a straight week of cheese binging.

[SwiftySlim 10]

I ordered the full game yesterday, but i want to try it.

So I'll just download and play the demo while I wait :)

ArmA 2 will be awesome! :D

[JonasRC 10]

Where can I get the torrent and help out?

I have the game already but purchased two new computers that I will play on :)

Still waiting for those computers to arrive, takes forever.. is probably already here. I'm just lazy

[i am haji 10]

argghhh, i just beat the arma 1 campaing to pass time. Now i have my fingers crossed that my wimpy 2.1 ghz dual core processor can at least average over 17 fps on medium settings

[Gonzo89 10]

I don't need the demo, but I'll help with the torrent. :)

I'm the same, happy to upload to contribute to a healthier torrent :)

[maddogx 13]

I would normally contribute too, but my whimpy 768kbit upstream bandwidth won't make much difference. Anyway I won't be home until about two hours after the demo is released. By then I'm sure there will be lots more seeders. :)
