I have Arma 2 and OA on retail disc. I want to buy the other expansions but they are download only.

If I bought them on steam would they still work for me as Arma 2 and OA are not steam games ?

I would prefer to buy from steam as then they would be safe in my steam folder.

thanks in advance for any info.:)
 
I don't think the steam version will work, you'll have to get the retail. I got mine from the official bohemia service.

It is quite confusing though, because some combinations do work apparently. Arma2 retail works with steam arrowhead with a workaround fix.
 
Ok cheers mate.

I missed out on that combined ops package in the steam sale the other day. I just ordered OA from an online retail store and then saw that it was in the steam sale ! grrrr lol

At least I have a nice colourfull manual to look at while I'm eating my Tea ! :p
 
Don't know if you'll have purchased it yet, or the PMC addon, but if you haven't I'd reccommend buying from sprocket, which the BIS guys get a larger share of the revenue from and you download the whole update as a .exe.

I've done that for both updates BAF&PMC and its worked perfectly.
