Based in "Takistan" should be a laugh when the modders get busy and make us some Bin Laden missions

Hopefully my preorder arrives tomorrow

Some German outlets have been selling copies already, and it looks like somebody found a nice easter egg

Well it finally arrived yesterday, nice of Play.com to finally send it

Came home from work around 12ish and then according to my little xfire stats thingy, it sucked 9 hours of my life away



Some thoughts.
This runs a hell of a lot better on my machine than vanilla Arma 2, maybe because it has a lot less trees and rendered objects? but even in the built up areas, it still nipped along spot on, and my settings mimic my A2 ones.

Graphics when cranked up are utterly awesome, i prefer them over the wooded A2 ones, something far more satisfying about "popping a cap in the ***" of a Taliban lookalike

Something very cool about having a Chinook full of coop players dropped off just behind a mountain so we can storm the terrorists by surprise, Chinooks should be in every game

Robotic voices improved, still robotic, but much better, they now give a clock position instead of waffling like "ENEMY man TO OUR front FAAR" you will usually hear something like "enemy man, 12oclock, half a click"

I only managed to get up to the 3rd campaign mission in my 9 hour jollie spent most of the time playing coop MP on my favorite server, the way they run things is with proper commands/orders, so you get your role, you do it, and you dont mess up soldier, or your booted out with a dishonorable discharge
