Armed Assault Demo Download

All right, listen up, maggots! Drop your Battlefield weapons and line up for this huge 845 MB download: it's the long awaited Armed Assault demo, and it's here to kick some bulletproof ass. Coming from the makers of Operation Flashpoint - one of the best military simulators ever - ArmA: Armed Assault is a first-person tactical military shooter with large elements of realism and simulation. The game features both a story driven single-player campaign (with different endings, depending on how you choose to play the missions), and large scale multiplayer battles, where tanks supported by infantry and helicopters taking control of an enemy city can be played with 100+ human opponents!

Well, at least in the full version. Because this demo here only allows for 3 multiplayer missions - Cooperative (1-8 players), Capture the Flag (1-16 players) and Capture the Island (1-60 players) - playable on a cut down part of the game's main island, Sahrani.

The game's official website was relaunched earlier this month, so you might want to go scouting for more intel on the game's features, weapons, vehicles etc. Also, a topic full of fan-made screenshots is set up on the Bohemia Interactive forums, where you can see some really cool shots from Armed Assault (and some really bad ones too).

Bohemia Interactive already released the game in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany and other German speaking countries, where it received review marks ranging from 70%, all the way to 88%. Could be good, or it could be great! The estimated release date for the rest of the world Europe and UK is Q1 2007.
