Building on 10 years of constant engine development, ARMA II boasts the most realistic combat environment in the world. It models real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration, features a realtime day/night cycle and dynamic wind, weather and environmental effects. The simulation of a combat environment is so effective, the engine forms the basis for training simulators used by real armies the world over.
Although ARMA II is set in the fictional ex-soviet state of 'Chernarus' the gameworld is actually a 225 square kilometer chunk of the real world! ARMA II's highly detailed landscape is a meticulous facsimile of real terrain, modeled using extensive geographical data.

Yeah, I just thought I should share this little story with whoever is...
I think I will wait for the sand alone too. That said, the idea of being alone the wilderlands against Zombie hordes sounds awesome.
One of my friends hit me up with a video of some troll that made nice with another player, they went through the game for a few hours and then as the guy had his back turned, killed him and took all his stuff. Classy.
yeah, that's essentially DayZ when it comes to PVP. "oh, you have nice stuff, I think I'll take it." In the end, I just wound up using some ~special powers~ to fix up helicopters, fly them around, and give boxes to people (every item in the game...) That's what the endgame is.
Sounds good. Looking forward to the full stand alone release.
