    Yes. In one of the pdf pages from the Tactical Gamer review "Info" download it shows a map of the whole of Chernarus, of which the game area is the top right quarter.

    Perhaps BIS plan to expand to other regions of Chernarus with an expansion.

    That's correct. We're getting the area called "South Zagoria", which is the north-east corner of Chernarus. The whole country is supposed to be a bit larger. Maybe we'll get more of it in an expansion pack.

    "A bit larger" is good..... Maybe like 5 times as large would be better -> see Presskit of chernarus.
    Marek Spanel: [...] Every single element is well taught so that it fits together. So this is a significant change, because with ArmA 1 it was just random, really.
    We made some units because we had to. There wasn't much passion from our side with the first ArmA, to be honest. This time it's different. (Videogamer.com Interview

    Please BIS: Arma2 must become a TRUE MASTERPIECE - Not a middle-heavy catastrophe!

    From the locked topic:

    http://www.pcgames.de/aid,685486/Arm...ation/PC/News/

    Headline: "Arma2: A true Bug Desaster!"

    OMG!!!!!! Not again
    Let me please kill Morphicon?

    Some quotes free translated:
    "I don't know what has ridden the devs to release a game in such a miserable shape, really. Basically NOTHING is working. Yes its really that Bad. We are testing Arma2 currently with two editors and both can't stop cursing."
    "Graphic-Bugs, NPCs stuck in walls, non working AI, popping-up error messages, script-bugs, non working campaign, it completely ruins gameplay"

    It is the release version.......the verison which you can buy in 2 days in every store.
    There are even people of some computer-forums reported, who installed the version already today (too) and they even have bugs during installation...

    Does this link work for you?:

    Both links work for me.

    Hopefully it's just the Morphicon release, but in that case I still can't understand why they couldn't just wait and release a patched up version simultaneously with the rest of EU. Bad reviews are still bad reviews even if they're out there 20 days earlier...

    It also confuses me that the worst known bugs from earlier previews doesn't seem to have been half as bad as those mentioned in that review of the actual release version..?

    Small excerpt:

    "Im Grunde funktioniert gar nichts. Ja, es ist so schlimm. Wir testen ArmA 2 mit zwei Redakteuren und beide kommen aus dem Fluchen nicht mehr heraus."

    Basically nothing functions. Yes, it's really that bad. We test Arma 2 with two editors and both can't stop coursing.


    Mainly they criticize scripting Problems and Problems with the KI in the campaign. And yes it seems to be the goldmaster. They already recieved a beta patch, they couldn't test yet. But they say they can't believe that this small patch could change alot, because the game is too heavily bugged.

    This is what i got from a free transulator

    You read the detailed ArmA 2 tests Friday, punctually to the Release of the military simulation, on pcaction. de. As soon as also the evaluation of the PC Games stands, let's present you here on the websites our result. Already today we reveal first opinions to the game.

    PC Games: Let's come without Umschweife to the subject of bow, a large nerve factor already in Armed Assault. How it keep a lookout in ArmA 2? Did the developers learn from its mistakes?

    Robert horn: "Who the predecessors knows, who are white the bow a large subject of the row. Unfortunately ArmA 2 forms there no exception. In the opposite. I do not know, what the developers rode to publish such a product, honestly. In the reason, nothing at all functions. Yes, it is so bad. We test come ArmA 2 with two editors and both out of the cursing no longer out. It catches at with small, verschmerzbaren graphics mistakes, goes further with NPCs sticking in walls and aufpoppenden error messages and ends with not functioning scripts, that ruin the entire Gameplay. In Arma 2, you get now namely many missions all at once, that you work off all in any sequence. In addition there are again and again optional orders. And here the KI itself makes itself a stroke through the calculation. For it occurs again and again that our KI driven allies (it rules yes war, we speak here about large combat units) must make simply a warehouse flat, that you must seek and destroy. And so the order is then no longer feasible for the players. Or, you seek a NPC, that is not however out of unerfindlichen reasons there, where it should be. Usually the way establishment routine flips out at the same time and the goods errs somewhere through the forests. The chance to find it there is same zero. It not also already happened that orders were reported as failed, that we yet once supposed had to us! The list is unfortunately endless. Recently sent us Publisher Peter Games a first beta Patch, that a few should arrange. We could trying that to be sure not yet. Must, over to rescue what is to be rescued, the patch however far larger be, think I."

    Stefan white: "I Robert only can agree with my colleague and fellow sufferers. As an old OFP veteran, I am appalled regular about that, in what condition qualitatively bad the version into the trade go becomes. I received today morning for example abrupt a message about that, would be failed a next to goal. I would not have created it to rescue a shot down helicopter Crew. Interestingly enough I received the order first AFTER this message. Such massive scripts mistakes stretch until now through the entire campaign and make this practically unspielbar. All in everything is the campaign in ArmA 2 until now an absolute disappointment."

    PC Games: Is there, to report then next to the innumerable mistakes of also goods to ArmA 2? For example in things realism?

    Robert horn: "There clearly is also positive. The scenarios for example. Those are seven smaller missions that do not hold together. That function felt better and give a small few of this operation-Flashpoint-feeling back. Also one must say that the vehicle design and weapon design is again once first-class. Therefrom the boys of Bohemia Interactive understand something. Also the landscapes convince me personally. The zone is inconceivable gigantic (what also a disadvantage is) and quite wooded. Again and again one encounters on small villages, farm or old ruins in the forests. Looks really nicely. In things realism did not do itself according to my opinion too many in comparison with the predecessor. It is just yet always an Armed-Assault-game, with its heights and depths, calculated flights paths and so further. Connoisseurs are found there very quickly right."

    Stefan white: "A breath therefrom how the game correctly could function then, experiences one in the scenarios as far as one can start this. In the first scenario, I receive for example always an error message that certain files are missing. To the good fortune, the remaining scenarios let start themselves. Altogether these are not better arrive, if so clearly because also here with deceitfulnesses and bow in KI, way establishment and Skripting to calculate is. The realism is lived highly, what comes the game however not always too goods. So the soldiers fire already once several hundreds of meter far, merely recognizes one on this distance hardly yet its goal. It runs out here on the same Krux, like already in Armed Assault or operation Flashpoint: One seeks himself if possible quickly a sniper weapon in order to come into the enjoyment of a goal telescope. In other things, there is also cuts with regard to the much praised reality vicinity - so is not it for example incomprehensible that jeep gasoline consume, tank however. Can and an overthrown motorcycle be erected no longer and becomes through it useless? Does who think itself please so somewhat from?"

    PC Games: And what is with the Performance? Did ArmA 2 run on the test computers at least somewhat fluidly? And with which PCs did you test?

    Robert horn: "We say was so, it tolerable. My test computer is a Core2Duo @3.16 GHZ, with 3 GB RAM and a Gerforce 8800 GTS 512: I was able to play ArmA 2 on high attitudes, ran at the same time the game however again and again into the coring. I tighten graphics gladly on attack, but my computer not unambiguously yielded that. But that was also in the predecessors so."

    Stefan white: "My test PC possesses the same basic data and has through it an identical Performance picture."
    However to be honest I would not listen to the german reviwers becuase they tend to have a bashing agenda on BIS

    This bad news makes so much sense after the London event articles called the game extremely stable.
