PC Games: There is a Beta-Patch for all German reviewers. The patch is strictly not for normal customers. So what happens when people buy your game on Friday? Will they get any patch at all?
Marek Spanel: We're going to release a patch on Friday for all customers, this will be the beta patch, since we are already testing a newer version which will be released during the next week.
PC Games: There is a huge discussion throughout the internet about ArmA 2 and its bugs. How will you react to that?
Marek Spanel: So far, not many people have really played the game so we need to wait some more time to get more clear picture of what people like and dislike about the game. As always in past with our previous games, we are fully dedicated to support our users in all possible ways and the initial launch of the game is only a beginning and we are going to listen to our user base and try to provide them with dedicated support for months and years to come.
PC Games: How fast will you be able to solve the biggest issues in ArmA 2?
Marek Spanel: I believe we already went a long way since version 1.00 and that the upcoming patch 1 next week will improve the game heavily, especially the quality of the campaign. This version 1.01 is also what will be released in rest of the world. In late June we plan to release Patch 2, version 1.02 which should provide even more.
PC Games: What dou you want to tell the german players who already bought your game?
Marek Spanel: We hope that despite some of the flaws and bugs you still will enjoy the game and will get into the deep and complex world created there. We can only ensure you about our continuous support and dedication and we hope your past experience with our games proves it's not only words. We also would like to thank German user community for ongoing support since our PC debut back in 2001. Without them, we wouldn't have opportunity to realize and grow our vision of complex military game until these days.

简单翻译:
PC GAMES:我们认为测试版(零售版)有很大的问题。单人战役由于存在许多问题而显得并不那么好玩。经常是我们到达一个记录点后什么也没有发生,敌人并不向我们射击,或者任务在我们并不知情的情况下就完成/失败了。到底哪里出了问题?测试时没有发现这些问题吗?工作室怎么会制作出这样问题百出的未完成版本呢?
Marek Spanel: 单人战役给人留下了不好的印象,我感到相当遗憾。我们在剧情和战役方面花费了很长时间,并花费数月进行了大量的测试工作,问题是ARMA2实在是太大了,而战役只是其中的一小部分(我知道战役对于一部分玩家来说非常重要)。尽管我们知道ARMA2存在这各种各样的问题和提升空间,我们不认为德语版是个很失败的版本。本版完成时我们感觉相当不错,我们仍然有机会做更多的测试,收集更多的反馈意见以便在以后的升级中做出改进。
我们意识到或许战役没有达到你们的期望,但是我们希望第一个补丁会让游戏更接近你们最初的预期。我今天玩了德语1.00版发现了你提到的那些问题。我的同事通常做的比我更出色,而且我并不觉得很丢人。
这个游戏很复杂,如果哪里出了问题或者发生了意想不到的事,通常总会有解决办法的。不正常的是我每次玩一个任务的时候总是有不同的问题出现。我认为这些BUG并没有破坏游戏的开放性,丰富的内容或美丽的Chernarus岛屿会对这些问题做出补偿的。
PC Games:你们为德国玩家制作了测试版补丁,这个补丁严格来说并不是面向所有普通玩家的,人们在星期五购买你们的游戏会怎样呢?他们会得到补丁吗?
Marek Spanel:我们会在星期五面向所有玩家放出补丁,这是测试版补丁,我们正在制作一个新版本以便在下星期放出。
PC Games:因特网上都在谈论ARMA2的BUG,你们将如何回应?
Marek Spanel:现在玩到我们游戏的人还不是很多,所以我们要等一等以获取更多的信息。在我们以前发售的游戏中,我们都是不遗余力的支持玩家,游戏投放市场只是一个开始,我们会听取用户的意见并且给予他们支持。
PC Games:你们会用多长的时间来解决ARMA2中存在的最大的问题?
Marek Spanel: 从1.00版本开始我们还有很长的路要走,下周的补丁会极大的改善游戏尤其是战役的质量。在6月的晚些时候我们会放出1.02补丁。
PC Games:你想对已经购买了游戏的德国玩家说些什么呢?
Marek Spanel: 尽管存在不少BUG,我希望玩家们能在游戏所提供的复杂世界里找到快乐。我们保证会提供持续的支持,并且我希望你们过去的经历会证明这并不仅仅是一个诺言。我们感谢德国玩家从2001年开始对我们的不懈支持。没有这些,我们就不会在今天实现我们复杂军事模拟游戏的梦想。
