Though it's not yet reflected on
the ARMA II Website, the promised playable demo for the
military shooter sequel from Bohemia Interactive Studios is now available.
This forum post
(thanks I Love Slippery Jim) lists download locations for the demo, and offers a
tip to install
the latest DirectX 9 Redistributable for those encountering a "Demo failed
to launch, X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found" error. Here's word on the demo: The
fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus provides the location for all the
action in ArmA II and gamers will have the opportunity to explore its highland
area in the demo version, along with the small Chernarussian island of Utes.
More specifically, the ‘boot camp’ missions are all available which act as
tutorials for the game’s many disciplines including helicopter flight, unit
command and base construction. In addition, the full single player mission
‘Trial By Fire’ from the main campaign and the multiplayer map ‘Mini Warfare’,
allowing ArmA fans the chance to trial three multiplayer modes, are included in
the demo. A selection of over 20 vehicles, over 25 weapons and various soldier
and civilian models will be included, although these represent only a fraction
of those available in the retail version.
“Distilling ArmA II’s gameplay into a trial sized package has been a bit of a
challenge because there is just so much in there that we want to show off,”
commented Mark Allen, European Communications Manager for 505 Games. “In the end
we’ve decided to be pretty generous, there are five types of rocket launcher in
there for starters!”

I've spent at least 15 hours with only one crash and one bug in a multiplayer game. Dunno what other folks/reviewers are on about with all the 'infested' stuff. Game is superb but admittedly does require a big rig to run as God intended. Fortunately... |
