[Game] The ArmA 2 thread (hurr hurr, no Armed Assault 2)
- Thread starter The Masta
- Start date
Doesn't matter if the SP is as broken as usual, does it?Looks awesome, but the story is going to be horrible.
Also I don't get why games still have the XM8.

Indeed, I have yet to play OA's, BAF's or ArmA2's SP.
But I'm lookign forward to all the new features being implemented.
Overexaggeration is a skill too, i guess.
ArmA 2's campaign was riddled with bugs yeah, didnt play through it all. However, Eagle Wing (free mini-campaign that came with a patch) was bloody awesome, and i havent experienced a single problem.
OA's is decent, but its too short for all the stuff to come together, you just dont care about characters and hardly notice there are any, just feels like a bunch of missions thrown together. That said, those arent bad.
BAF's campaign is pretty cool actually, tries to do some story telling on a more personal soldier level, and has some awesome missions and tasks.
I'd recommend giving that a go, at least.

Contractors use all kinds of weapons...

Also, I think PMC will be awesome. It opens up possibilities for all kinds of cool missions. Place the PMC units in the north of Isla Duala, a female assassination target in the south of the island, and you basically have Jagged Alliance 2.

Uninitiated here *raises hand*
Is ArmA2:OA a complete stand-alone? If someone were to be joining the ArmA ranks would this person be best served buying OA?
Like I said in another thread, I don't have a proper rig to run this game but I did add it (OA) to my wishlist
I will be upgrading at some point here for HOES and I might as well build a beast that can run ArmA too.. so which one is the latest and best with the most population?

OA is stand alone and is the latest and prob the highest rated (if not necessarily the most played?) but you should really buy arma2 combined arms which will give you everything (except british forces dlc), for a price close to that of OA in any case.
plus i presume this will give you access to more mods.
I will buy operation arrowhead separately however as i already have arma2 retail, but it will amount to the same thing.

Go for the Combined Operations version, yeah
It has both ArmA 2 and OA for an affordable price, and you get access to everything the games have to offer, including many custom islands (of which a lot use ArmA 2 buildings, and not OA). It would be a shame to miss out on those, since a lot of them are pure quality, like Lingor, Isla Duala and Panthera, or Thirsk etc etc.

Don't forget Pedogorsk... but beware of the bears!
**** YES! All ARMA titles are HALF OFF today! I'm going for CO + British Pack for a total of $27.50. Finally!
***Woopsie its 15 for both im an idiot***

Damn, PMC is not available on Steam yet and therefore not eligible for the sale . Though I guess the sale doesn't apply to preorders anyways, oh well.

Another +1 for Combined Ops, if you're going to play OA regularly you're going to need / want ArmA 2 sooner or later anyway. Many missions and addons make use of A2 assets and Chernarus is still a cool island.
Here's the link for the 50% off sale:

If you are planning on buying BAF as well I recommend steam, as BAF is -50% there as well.
