Based on the success of our recent 3rdSat Arma2 event, I'm sensing a growing interest in playing (and learning) more about Arma2. I know of two members who have purchased the game in the last week or so. I think it offers a good alternative gameplay environment to BF3 for some members who are looking for more teamwork and communication. It does come with a steep learning curve, however. How do members feel about Arma2 as opposed to say PR?

ArmA2 for me McGuirk. I would like to play it a bit more in prep for ArmA3 due later this year  Also on a personal level, the very mention of PR brings back memories of crashes and blue screens. My BF2 was never the same, even after re-installs etc. I know some have had no trouble at all, I was just unlucky  |

I wasn't able to make the ArmA2 gathering, but I am interested in learning/playing.

I'm interested in ArmA 2, Project Reality, and the PR mod to ArmA 2. I have not played the later, yet.
If you are considering the purchase of ArmA 2, be aware there is the Arrowhead Expasion and the Combined Operations version is ArmA2 & Arrowhead. My understanding is the PR mod will require the Arrowhead expansion.

I have all three but all I have tried was the basic training then went online with the PR side. The people I was on with were nice enough to help out and I was able to actually help them advance to win the round. So far ArmA has been fun but I really would like a more in depth experience especially with slinging vehicles and running support. Being a ground pounder is easy but support takes more timing and skill and I enjoy the challenge. Help me help you Spartans cause ArmA is sik and I wanna get knee deep in this shiz nizzle.

Is Steam involved with ARMA?I've heard bad things about Steam.
I myself would have more interest in ARMA than BF3.
I enjoyed OFP DR and RR much more than BF3 or MW3.

I already have Steam and there was an offer on ArmA so I downloaded it. I like Steam and have had no problems with it. It automatically downloads and installs patches and updates (at high speed) so takes away all the hastle. |

I was one who recently brought it on steam and i agree with wobbly, ive never had a problem with steam in the 10 years ive used it! the auto patch is very handy i wish more game providers did this! But going back to topic i would very much like to learn to play Arma2 it looks good i had one quick game with Mcguirk and i really liked it!
