Just read a preview from PC Games (German PC Mag)
http://www.pcgames.de/aid,685486/ArmA-2-Ein-wahres-Bug-Desaster-PC-Games-testet-die-Militaer-Simulation/PC/News/
Cons:
- Arma 2 is full of bugs
(examples: Various graphic errors, problems with pathfinding, jeeps need gasoline -> tanks not, script errors (Quests cannot be completed),missing files when playing scenarios, if a motorcycle falls down to the ground it is not useable anymore,
- Enemies are able to shoot you, even if you can´t see them.(same thing like Arma1)
...and so on
Pros:
-Nice weapon design
-Nice landscape
PCGames magazine just got a beta patch from bohemia which isn´t tested yet.
Testrig:
Core2Duo 3,16
3GB Ram
8800GTS 
Reviewer was able to play on high settings, sometimes with a jerky gameplay.

I hope the german version, which is available on friday isn´t fucked up.

you seem to forgot the motto of most software houses these days.... release first, patch later... have you even played arma? i have , and its certainly playable and enjoyable.i bet ofp2 will have just as many patches out as arma2, tbh i will be getting both, but i think if i had to chose only one to get , it would be arma2
when there is no more room in hell, the D34D will walk the earth

Arma2 looks more promising the OFP2 i have to say, but yes it will be buggy at first. In most cases i wait for games to get patched once or twice before i play, not a real problem..

This game is appeling to hardcore fans of this genre. I think most people would be disseminated at the start. As i have knew from the start a game so big like this one is impossible to be bug free. I am sure that they will correct the problems just like any other game.
It has become a trend to pay for a game and fell like a beta tester.

The German version was printed and shipped before it went gold. They are releasing a patch for the german version bringing it up to gold version on friday or monday. Thats what they said in the official forums... and later when all versions has been released they will be united with a international patch.

Tried to find the post regarding the above users mention of a patch and such, seems it was indeed released a bit early in Germany (Official date is 29th this month.) but I found this instead, various game details and discussions plus a few bugs, hehe.

In your opinion the version which is to be released tomorrow in Germany is german only ? And what about censored content ?

Mentioned on the forum link I posted but yes the German version only has the German voice/text files, unsure about censoring but the game isn't really that violent aside from the wound decals on bodies.
(Some blood particles and marks as well but the main effect is the wounds on the character models unless it's been tweaked since ArmA 1 or even OFP.)

Lol, that's probably some minimal protection Securon version for the demo, Securom version numbers can't really be trusted.
1) Will it require online activation ?
2) Will they implement custom protection ?
