ArmA II demo marches online News
PC News by Robert Purchese
Bohemia and 505 have popped a demo up for ArmA II on the game's official website.
In it, you'll be able to poke around the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus and the Chernarussian island of Utes. The tutorial boot camp missions are available, and the full single-player Trial by Fire level awaits once skills are up to scratch.
Tire of that, and the multiplayer map Mini Warfare is open to sample, with a choice of 20 vehicles, 25 weapons and various civilian and soldier models.
There's lots more in the full game, however, which we reviewed recently and thoroughly recommend.

Just a warning on the trial by fire mission, the friendly AI are more gung-ho and suicidal than usual in this mission for some reason. Oh and you'll probably want to tweak the graphics settings before you decide if you should shell out for the whole game (which is a steal at 25 Queenpounds or less).

The tutorial levels are pretty bad...fucked if I can figure out how to fly the chopper.
I did very well in the parachute jump though. |

The Little Birds have been ported to Arma 2:
http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.ph... It's worth keeping an eye on the BIS mod forums, some very talented modders, scripters and mission makers often come out with terrific stuff.

"How annoying that a demo has an extra feature the full game doesn't!!!"

Look to the forums, you probably need to download DirectX9.3 I think. |

I had the dll error too - you just need to install the March2009 DirectX redist:

I got the full game last week - and when it works its a brilliant amazing game so id reccomend anyone whos interested try the demo
In the the sigle player campaign there are a few big bugs that need squishing very soon though, its not made it unplayable, but its come quite close on occasion. Multiplayer on the otherhand works great.
