Looks great !!

What the hell does 'standalone expansion pack mean' ? :confused:

I take it that you won't need Arma 2 installed to play this ?
 
Arma2 was good, I just felt the patches didnt come fast enough to maintain people during that critical period, that and we ended up playing that one MP type all the time. Still was good fun, and I can see me getting this too.

It means we didnt do the game like we planned but its too soon to release or there isnt enough content to call it Arma 3 so we are just going to call it an expansion pack so we dont annoy those that paid good money for the original that is now a waste. ;)

I think i will wait for Arma 3 instead of Arma 2.5 :p
 
I really wanted to get into Arma2 but the learning curve was huge, plus the game was a real resource hog (probably my pc wasn't good enough). Maybe i'll get this and try again. Hopefully will encourage more noobs and people to help them.
 
Hi Folks,
Just a quick update , there is now a Demo available so you can try before
you buy.
More details here:
http://www.arma2.com/latest-news/arma-2-operation-arrowheads-demo-released_en.html


This 3GB demo thrusts you straight into the unique gameplay featured in the full version of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead; it showcases the realistic sandbox environment, offers multiplayer gameplay, and gives you a peek at the vast array of vehicles, weapons, units at your disposal. The demo offers a massive amount of highly detailed content, giving you a sharp flavour of the epic new environment (modelled on real-world data), a full taste of the mission editor, and a real appetite to experience the most authentic mil-sim available: war without the training wheels.

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead's demo includes:

* Singleplayer mission "Coltan Blues" from the main campaign
* Singleplayer scenarios "Benchmark" and "Little Bird"
* 3 Boot Camp scenarios (Basic, Driving and Helicopter tutorials)
* Multiplayer missions "Hike In The Hills" and "One Shot One Kill"
* multiplayer template "Team Deathmatch"
* Mission Editor with save/load option
 
It's good, it's a military simulator, so expect large coop games vs AI, Expect inter clan matches sometimes we play with one or two more clans who specialise in special ops and tank warfare.

Player vs player is getting better, we make our own PvP missions for Friday nights, also Project Reality mod is being ported to arma2 engine as we speak.
