Arma 1/2 is the 'real' predecessor - just out of luck if you don't have a capable pc

I must say that the opening mission was ****e, and don't let it put anyone off.

And for the benefit of Zap:
THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I really would be annoyed if I couldn't play on it today

[Krakkenbus]

grrr... Play are still "packing" mine.
Hopefully I'll get it by the weekend

That's just mean

They're still packing my Batman game I ordered on Sunday
There must be a huge backlog of orders there.

[Terbinator]

Do they use Royal Mail, if so could the strikes be affecting them ?

[watercooled]

Oh yeah I didn't think of that...

[chuckskull]

Had a quick go of this on this at a mates. Very pretty(PC version). Lot more polished than ARMA 2 from what I could tell. On the Fun vs. Realism scale it's nudged a little closer to fun than ARMA, but just a little. Felt like a nice balance on the normal settings and there's ways there to push back toward realism if you want, from what I could tell.

Gonna grab it if I have a few quid spare come payday I think.

Well shopto.net used Royal Mail and it arrived the next day, so I don't think its that.

The strikes are in certain areas IIRC so it may just be affecting certain Hexites and not others. Whats the co-op like on this if any one has tried it ?

[Zap]

I was told the postal strike was London area and Friday (9th), not sure how accurate that is though.

I got mine on 360 yesterday from shopto.net

i'm really impressed, graphics are very good, map is HUGE, but grat range of cover and terrain to find cover behind. i wanna tell my manager im sick and go home to play some more lol

[samcross]

Anything arrived yet Zap?

[Zap]

Nope, nothing.. seems most people have theirs except me
The package that got sent back to the Post Office was something else I was expecting.
