Arma 2 : Combined OPs 22.49 on Steam

They had the deal posted for OA on the homepage, but if you want the original Arma 2 campaign also, it's only a few bucks more.

Steam is hot with the sales, after more than 10 years of buying material copies i have just started using steam and the prices are unbeatable.

This is where I kick myself. :lol:

This is a STEAL people!

think it might go on sale again at christmas? my wallet is getting thin after Arkham Asylum yesterday...

i just jumped all over a few steam titles actually

blue shift, torchlight, braid, i put down my pre order for super meat boy and i got in on poker night @ the inventory.

oh and i also got rainbow 6 vegas 2

I got that, torchlight and dawn of war 2 gold edition today. Already owned dawn of war 2 (not chaos rising), gifted the extra copy to my buddy lol.

This is where I kick myself. :lol:

This is where I'm confused.. Arma II and Operation Arrowhead are pretty much too separate games. Any point in having the original Arma II installed then? Do most people play that multiplayer?

Uh huh. Got it not too long ago. I'm happy with it though.

If I ever play this game multiplayer it'll be either via LAN or private server (if it's offered). First, I have to get all my relatives on board which will be hard because this game is probably beyond them (except for a few).

But, one thing I like is no matter which map you use in the editor, all the units from both ARMA 2 and Arrowhead are available to use. You can even play as a goat or rabbit if you want.

Why does it have a 73/100 metascore? I tired the demo a few months ago and thought it was good.

Also, there's this deal on www.gogamer.com for a dvd copy of Arma II: OA for $14.90. I wish I'd seen this before I got it from Steam because they have a few other really good games for cheap.

Yeah that's the only deal I liked for today and got it. Ive been meaning to try it out, and the price is right..MyopicCanadian

same. Arma was one of those games that I've always been interested in.

almost bought Blur today too, but that deal really wasn't as good as getting two Arma games for $22.

now I'm just hoping Crysis/UnrealTourny3 go on sale, then I can access A LOT of mods. :P

I've had an eye on this for a while, and the sale finally pushed me to buy it.

Just finished installing and started running through the bootcamp. The interface is taking a bit to get used to, and the sheer amount of stuff it seems I'll have to memorize is pretty intimidating, but that's not unexpected. It's the glitches that have me worried. I played only a very small section and hit two (3 maybe) major glitches. An infinite loop at the firing range, frozen animation at the med station, and a weapon that wouldn't show up (I'll admit this last one might just be my bad).

Is the game typically this glitchy, or was it just bad luck?

never trust metascore, MW2 has a metascore of 86.

If you really want to judge by reviews look at the individual ones, because some of them are really stupid.

I haven't seen any glitches on mine except for some poor clipping. Some of the dead fall on the ground with their head in the sidewalk or inside a wall. Others stop falling halfway down. Hopefully there's a mod or patch to fix it. Most of the poor performance I grumbled about in the demo seem to have been addressed.

I haven't seen any problem with Training in my install. I might've seen something similar in the demo.

I also applied a couple of patches. Maybe that helped.

Steam should be automatically patching it, shouldn't it? Well, If I keep getting issues I'll look into patches & mods. I take it this stuff is uncommon though so it was probably just some bad luck, thanks :)

I wouldnt bother too much with the boot camp as it put me off. Its best to just dive into the campaign by the third level you pretty much start to get the hang of it.RedDanDoc

Hey, if I can skip to the action then sweet. If I get stuck on anything I can always just go back and train on that in the boot camp anyway.
