Ok guys I'm hovering over the buy button. Will we be disadvantaged in the future if we buy the German version now? Will we be forever having language pack/patch issues when they release a new patch?

Or is literally the only downside the fact you have to pay an extra tenner for it?

Dont do it.. its like buying an e46 M3 without the 1200 mile running in service.

Hi,
I bought the original arma from Metaboli ( german release) , like now we used a replacement language pack to make the UI / text commands english.

A little while later a patch was released which made the language selectable ( basically it updated the lang files with loads of other langs as well )

This version of arma is the one I still play today.

I carefully considered your point but decided that the convenience of having the game now rather than 2 days before I fly to Australia for 6 weeks outweighed the loss in residual value through not having it's 1200 mile running in service :p

Ah. It might be worth you firing a pre-emptive email of "hurry up with my key" off too then. Some people haven't received them and had to email and then waited again.
 
Could I ask a question about addons, does anyone know if they've improved the file structure as it could be quite tricky in Arma.

What if you want to play a map online that has addons you don't have, will it generate a list of where to get them or will it update them automatically?
 
The effects on the plane crash are really good. Love the airstrikes and the subsequent smoke that drifts across the map. Really great feature there. Can't wait to see artillery in action

I'm pretty sure the file structure is exactly the same, BiS even stated that some mods will probably port directly without hassle. But for autodownloading servers i dont know really, i have joined a couple of games where i was given the error message i dont have the modded files but i still put in the game to play anyway.

Thanks again theo, I hoped they'd given it some thought as it's always been a pain to keep track of what mods your using with each mission.
 
You guys got any specific servers they you normally play on? At the minute with the release only in Germany, not many servers and a lot of them are locked, difficult to find a server to get stuck into.
