Best place to buy ARMA 2
Ok ... a few guys now have copies of ARMA 2, please share your purchasing experiences with the rest of us who are yet to buy.

I live in Perth, can anyone suggest a good place to get a copy please?

Cheers,

Wal

Steam does seem like a great idea, it's just hard to break the life long habit of having games on something you can hold in hand ..... such as CD, floppy or tape (for those with good memories

meh unlimited downloads during off peak times so re-downloading doesn't mean that much.

This doesn't always work, it only downloads from the source you ask if the file is available on that server but with new release games you will find its generally there.

Something you guys might be interested in.

ARMA II Key - AU$22
http://www.g2play.net/store/Arma-2-A...-2-CD-Key.html

You can download the setup files from:
http://gs01.games.gs.plat.n et.au/~...atches/ArmAII/
Arma2_Setup-1.bin
Arma2_Setup-2.bin
Arma2_Setup-3.bin
Arma2_Setup-4.bin
Arma2_Setup.exe

Use a download manager, as they will almost certainly corrupt without one.

How do you play that one Wolffy? Mine requires the cd to be in, do you burn the cd or something, or does that version not require a cd to be in the drive?
