Probably the same as those the CDF used in ArmA II.

why not? happens all the time. if the copies have been delivered, why not sell them instead of letting them just lie around another weekend? good for the Germans, i guess. :)

The stores probably were not allowed to sell it this soon. Most of the shops over the world probably have a bunch of copies already, but do they sell them?

Please cut the the crack/piracy discussions, you know very well it leads to bans.

so what? unless you're dealing with Activision or EA you probably don't have to fear any repercussions. in the grand scheme of things, OA is a minor release.

i really don't know why anyone but the other stores should give a damn, but even they probably don't unless we're talking about a big release like the next CoD. i'm happy for our German friends who could get the game early. BIS are probably happy their game is selling.

June 29 is the official release, there's nothing BIS can do if certain stores sell it earlier to make some cash fast. However you are not able to play the game online before the official release date because gamespy does not unlock the keys before. So all you get is an invalid cd key error.

Since none of us has the game yet we're also unable to tell you to run a server.

The next one who thinks he must talk or comment about piracy here, no matter for what reason goes on vacation - at least until the official release date.

I was wondering if some of the nice germans could help update the BIS Wiki to include the new classnames for weapons/vehicles/etc?

I will help when I get my copy in 2 days, but it'd be nice if somebody could get a head start on it :)

It'd help the whole community out quite a bit I think.

An update from my list of weapons, vehicles and characters started May 22nd (page411) based on videos showing the preview version:

http://www.gameprotv.com/arma-2-operation-arrowhead-preview-video-6697.html

http://www.tvtech.it/video/680/arma-ii-operation-arrowhead-videoarticolo (05:30)

Anyone feel free to use it for a complete list of classnames as I will not have the time to do it. There may be mistakes as I do not have the game yet (my local Media Markt found out they forgot to order Arrowhead when I asked them today…).I hope this helps you to prepare while you wait.

The new controls are shown in the manual which was already posted by others:

http://cdn.steampowered.com/Manuals/33930/ARMA%202%20Operation%20Arrowhead_manual%20for%20DVD_UK.pdf?t=1277490167

/ = switch weapon sights (e.g. G36, SCAR)

Page up/down = zeroing

....unless you have an internet connection that eats rocks and shits diamonds, I think you came out pretty well on that download considering the size of the game.

I do have a good connect.I guess I am just spoiled from past games downloading within the hour from Steam.I can't find it locally and doubt I will be able to hold out on the 29th so Steam will probably be used again.
