    The Germany releasedate, set to May 29th this Monday, was already pulled back by the german publisher. At the moment June is more likely.

    Those specs go from very low to very high quite dramatically. I do not think that this game is going to be easy to run. Much like ARMA 1 which was ludicrously hard to run smoothly.

    Agree, that is the point exactly.

    The TrakIR video dont run smooth with a Quad and GTX285 at 1280x720, with the game at "good" settings.

    what I can expect in my 1920x1200 screen ?

    The worst, ArmA is a demanding game like Crysis and that not change in version 2.

    man the game has massive amounts of foliage now, and that was something that caused performance isseus in arma 1, but I think they have optimized it better this time.

    The german press demonstration by Morphicon, for a handfull of community members in Munich, was said to had good FPS and was running on:

    Intel Core2 Duo E 8500 @3,1 Ghz
    4GB DDR2-RAM
    GTX280
    Vista 64
    Settings on High, Viewdistance 4Km, 1920*1080

    Dslyecxi: 1280x720 is the highest Youtube HD goes, afaik, and is the best res to capture in for such purposes. I run otherwise at 1920x1080 and it performs well.

    ...And the good news is that it ran well at very high detail settings with an 8800GTX, which is practically a mid-range graphics card now.

    i remember the times that they were saying that CRYSIS was running at high setting on a ATi x1900 LOL :wanker:

    Seems promising with that performance reports, you guys are very well informed :), I hope that dont have the problems of ArmA1.

    I´ll buy anyway cos is a bind have, ArmA is unique in realism and tactical warfare :biggun:

    Perhaps I´ll down something in graphics to run well but I dont mind cos new build is near (GT300) :eyebrows:

    It looks amazing and from the gameplay clips im excited, but this game is going to fail with most because its going to be so complicated and you wont just be able to jump right in and play.......youll need to set a key up just to tie your shoe laces.

    A daily player of Arma and OFP covert I dont unstestand your post

    Yes it does have more options and more functions but that makes it more involving

    I am just glad this time around arma 2 actually uses more then 1 core since arma never did
