Bohemia Interactive have just released their first Official full HD in-game trailer (186mb, 4:42) on the official Arma 2 website.
It's still pre-release (Q1 2009) but the HD version is well worth the view of its progress.



The first post has also been updated with some interview movie links, alternate links, screenshots and other stuff of interest. There are lots of screenshots not shown here on other sites.

This is interesting as I want to get into large map strategy. Will keep an eye on this. Thanks Dr Eyeball

I had so many hopes for ARMA, but found it to be a lag fest, and no real competitive play, mostly co-op against laggy bots.

Here is hoping that the new one is better.

I tried to download the Arma demo, didn't run on vista, tried the disable 1GB memory trick, still no go. If the company isn't going to update it's demos then I can't in good concious purchase the game. Here's hoping all of that was because they're all busy making Arma 2 an awesome game.

The first summary post has been updated with all recent official trailers from the Arma 2 web site. These weekly trailers and the web site are basically introducing the background and storyline to come, so are well worth watching and reading about. Gotta love seeing those cows in-game. There are more to come each week.

ARMA2.com will be updated with fresh news on a weekly basis, from now up to the time of release. Regular updates about ARMA2 factions, weapons and vehicles will be accompanied by a series of visual references.
