Armed Assault

So.... finally Operation Flashpoint has pulled together a second release Armed Assault (aside of all the upgrades, add-ons and patches) of the brilliant game. Kev* iso'd me the demo today which has taken up a little time (what's wrong with the world when you have no time to stop and play computer games at work!!) Setup was a breeze and gameplay is VERY similar to the old Operation Flashpoint... i'm running an AMD64 with a 256mb video card (office machine pretty much) and it played ok at 800x600 on the 19" Dell tft... Looks VERY good... I will have to go buy the game tomorrow... it's just the way it is...
