ArmA II Trailer Shows Fiction, Realism

Bohemia Interactive's latest game of simulated war is looking pretty healthy, and the latest trailer - which is a mock news bulletin - shows the engine running some pre-scripted scenes. It all looks rather realistic and - dare I say - rather polished. Could BIS actually be delivering a game that doesn't need to be finished off by the mod community? Hard to say, but even if the game does land in the same kind of state that its predecessor did, we've every reason to be excited: this is one of those unfashionably ambitious projects that really makes the PC interesting. There's no release date for this yet, but we expect an announcement from publisher 505 Games fairly soon.
