[Rhodesy_77]

just wait till you try ACE2 out where you will have to take wind deflection into account :P

[DevilzOwn]

any1 know how to get the pmc baf addons if you have retail versions of arma???
from what i read u need arrowhead through steam

[Rhodesy_77]

no dont get arrowhead through steam... go get a hard copy of it, or though sprocket. from there you can get BAF/PMC off of sprocket aswell.

Sprocket is a Direct to Drive website, cheap prices and it all goes to BI the Devs.

[Chanvlan]

just wait till you try ACE2 out where you will have to take wind deflection into account :P

FFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! !

dam that wind... I can never seem to work out all the different bloody dials and buttons... :sweat:

[Rhodesy_77]

lol its simple once you learn, when i get time ill walk you through it.

[McDethWivFries]

dam that wind... I can never seem to work out all the different bloody dials and buttons... :sweat:

you dont need to, just do like the did in Shooter and make sureyou have ribbons tied up in strategic locations so you know the direction and strength of the wind . . . profit then :hi:

[Shady]

Don't listen to the steam version non believers!!
Mine works just like a hard copy, the steam overlay doesn't even open with it anymore.

[invisible.moose2010]

are there any australian servers for just plain arma II or do they all use operation arrowhead?

[DevilzOwn]

I have retail of arma2 and arrowhead, so yea sprockts the way to go then

[Rhodesy_77]

shady mate ive helped that many people who have had problems ith the steam version + mods + patches its not even funny any more. there is ZERO reason to get it off steam, use sprocket, just as cheap and is still downloadable. so dont tell me nothing is wrong with the steam version...

[Shady]

So dont tell me nothing is wrong with the steam version...

In my experience and the experience of those I've encountered.
There's nothing wrong with the steam version.

[captncrunch240]

Never had an issue with steam except that it insists on downloading the entire game for every patch

[Delta 51]

In my experience and the experience of those I've encountered.
There's nothing wrong with the steam version.

StArmA [Steam Version of ArmA] doesn't have anything wrong with it on the technical side, however it is a pain to set it up for mod use, and like the 1.59 patch you have to wait a long time for the updates to be released.

It's playable and you can use mods, but it is an inconvenience.

[0.CHUGGA.CHUGGA.0]

I don't see how its any worse for mods? Only problem I have is the 1.59 patch coming out later.

[1GeKKo3]

so to get into ARMA II and play with the community, what do you need to buy/download to make it all happen?

[GruAncH]

Is sprocket full download? not steam style yeah?

[Captain_Wolf]

Most of us just have Arma 2: Combined Operations which is ArmA 2 and the operation arrowhead expansion. BAF and PMC are purely optional mini expansions.

Sprocket is just a digital download service, once you have the game off them it pretty much functions like a full hard copy. No steam complications.

[1GeKKo3]

cheers wolf...bout time i had another go at it ;)

[1GeKKo3]

just bought ARMA 2 and Op arrowhead....now need to learn how to play it :S

[GruAncH]

I own AOA so I just need AII yeah? got BAF already as well... Umm € 3.74 lol

[mrSnuffLuffiGus]

Cheers Wolf, will pick these up while cheap in preparation for getting my PC up to runnable speeds.

[VapoMan]

Just remember if you already have Operation Arrowhead installed and want to upgrade it to Combined ops by getting ARMA 2, you will need to uninstall OA first then install ARMA 2, Run ARMA 2, then install OA and the latest OA patch and DLCs.

If you don't do it in that order it most likely wont turn into Combined Ops.

[GruAncH]

16hrs to download arrrgggh

[mobius]

I've got ARMA II from Green Man Gaming, so i can purchase OA from sprocket?

[bkt]

ok sweet! got oa retail and arma2 off sprocket! I can play arma2 online again :D

[GruAncH]

I've got ARMA II from Green Man Gaming, so i can purchase OA from sprocket?

Don't see why not all independent serials etc

[bkt]

Well I received my email from sprocket, but their downloader's far too slow, so I'm torrenting the game much faster and will just use my serial once it's done. I still feel dirty, despite buying the game :P

[ToonS]

Awesome buy!, Just picked it up.

[SnR]

Well I received my email from sprocket, but their downloader's far too slow, so I'm torrenting the game much faster and will just use my serial once it's done. I still feel dirty, despite buying the game :P
Purchase the full game, then use our AEF FTP (http://gs01.games.gs.plat.n et.au/~arma/patches/) to obtain, including patches.

[GruAncH]

Yeah right never though of that doh 20hrs to dl A2 lol

[1GeKKo3]

yeah i just dl file by file from them....much faster

[bkt]

Ta snr! I've book marked that for next time.

[SmOOvDoGG]

SnR will those files work for Combined Ops? thats what i just bought

[SnR]

SnR will those files work for Combined Ops? thats what i just boughtGood question, do you recieve 2x serials or a combined one ?

[Captain_Wolf]

Two I believe. That's what I got.

[SmOOvDoGG]

Good question, do you recieve 2x serials or a combined one ?

Yes I got two serial keys

[Freeborne]

Combined Ops is really just two separate products bundled together to save $$$. You don't get a combined installer, or a single license key. If you accidentally install them in separate folder/drive they will act as stand-alone games and not technically be 'combined'.

So if you have Combined Ops, or purchased ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead separately, it's all the same.

The A2 and OA install files on AEF FTP will work regardless of what version you have.

Even if you bought on Steam (I've heard from other players) you can still download and install the retail/Sprocket versions using the license you got via Steam.

OA, PMC, BAF and Combined Ops are currently 50% off on SprocketIDEA.
A2 is 70% off.
Anniversy Edition (EVERYTHING) is 15% off.

Was a 3 day sale, I think it ends today, so 'soon' depending on time-zone.

[bkt]

I installed ARMA2 after OA and am using a launcher to get my CO working. Haven't had any dramas yet!
