British Armed Forces and Private Military Company are also standalone. :)

Nope, they are addons and require Arma 2 to play.

From BIStudio's on site:
The Arma 2: British Armed Forces is the addon for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and/or Arma 2: Combined Operations. It can not be played seperately and does require the original game in order to be played.
The Arma 2: Private Military Company is the addon for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and/or Arma 2: Combined Operations. It can not be played seperately and does require the original game in order to be played.

Operation Arrowhead can be bought and played without having Arma 2.

My only issue with amra 2 was the sheer number of mods needed to play a game. It became very complicated as far as i was concerned,

What do you mean? You don't need mods.
If you want to play online(if thats what you mean), on servers; there's no wonder why everyone uses different mods and differing versions of those mods.

I hate it too, because all sorts of people use differing things, the best idea is to find a community and follow their modset. There are programs which will a automaticall apply and add the mods for you.

It'll be the same for 3, seriously if you want to get into it find a largeish but organised group to play with, it's a whole new game.
 
There are tools like arma2 launcher that make the managing of mods extremely tidy and easy.

If you're stuck on what ones to get then you cant go wrong with ACE mod. Its pretty much a standard for all the milsim clans that existed prior to all the dayZ craze.

Each clan will 99% of the time have a map pack too. These almost always include, fallujah, duala, lingor, clafghan.


Most units also grab a weapon pack or two and a unit pack.


ArmA2 is a 5 year old game now (maybe more?) so the mod database is huge.


My clan has a very strict mod policy. But even so our modpack is large (90% of it due to maps).

We use ACE as a base, then we have a fairly large selection of islands we use. And a units pack. We dont do weapon packs because once you allow one in, the floodgates open and everyone wants this chopper, that jet, this ship, that gun this tank and it quickly ramps up over 10GB.


ArmA3 will be a fresh start. Our unit pack will be made custom for us so wont require replacement etc in future.

We're a very tight group of friends who play the game to a high level of skill and realism. That said our focus is always friends first players 2nd. We have a very skilled group of guys in server running, mission making, texturing etc. And would relish some fresh faces around out TS/Servers. We dont play all day every day but we generally play a mission or two that is custom made each weekend And often play a few evenings a week on insurgency or domination or something on weekday evenings.

We look mostly for guys who know what they're doing already and can work as a TEAM but if you show a willingness to learn and better yourself and contribute to a community we'll take on a new guy and teach them up.

If anyone is interested hit me up on our TS3 server:

ts3.st-alpha.net

anyone with the tags [ST-Alpha] can help you out. My name on there is JackSpyder.

http://st-alpha.net/activity.php here is our simple in progress website too.

We will be purchasing and testing arma3 but will remain with arma2 for campaigns and most gaming until arma3 reaches a stable enough state (mods too) to make the transition.

Edit: With arma3 being a steam service i guess ill give my steam profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197996155180/ We dont use it as a communication tool but with the transition for arma3 it may be used more

Personally I'm still hooked on the warfare benny edition CTI missions. Granted it's not a total ultra realistic hardcore type mission but still bloody good fun. Lets you mess around with pretty much every vehicle/weapon in arma and can still be mostly enjoyed when your team turns out to be rubbish, but soo much better when everyone does work together. Think of it as the same step up from wasteland as wasteland was from dayz (sorry marker :P)

Its been around pretty much since arma II first came out but there aren't many servers running it (about 7-8 decent and popular ones), so many regulars are quite well known. Still the more the merrier!

We run Benny's edition every so often on server 3 mate!

Duckee loves it, me I'm alright with it!
 
Why on earth not take advantage of the current hype and allow pre-ordering already? Makes literally no sense at all to me... if people want to buy right now then why make them wait? Seems very daft to me. The pre-order deal for £20 or so is awesome and sounds too good to miss.
