    Well done Spear. I thought I'd be forced to grab a pirate copy just to demo the game first before I spent the €€€ !

    Hopefully game have it in stock tomorrow. Im extremely impressed with it so far they fixed nearly every fault i had with Arma (poxy aiming including) and resembles the real sequel to OFP.

    Tried the demo and loved it. Pretty awesome, so I will probably.

    Although nearly €50 on Steam is going a bit too far, so retail all the way by the looks of things.

    Steam doesn't release until the 30th for twice the cost of retail. €29 in Gamestop was the cheapest I've seen mentioned.

    I really want to like this game, but i absolutly suck at it. Tried the first mission yesterday, and lost every member of my team by the time we got to the top of the first hill. Its bloody hard.

    Might just get it and stick to multiplayer (co-op).

    Hmmm...don't know if it's my type of game. Just a little too 'real' and not enough arcade elements for it to be fun (all IMHO).

    Spent a few hours just now on demo, 90% of games i joined i got disconnected from.
    Controls feel jerky, most of all though i was bored as hell.
    Glad i tried the demo before buying.

    +1 for the jerkyness. I'm not sold.
