Can I run this with ARMA II Free?

[pencru 0]

Topic title says it all. I also need Operation Arrowhead, right? I'm thinking of buying that so I can run the mod (surprising because I'm actually saving up for something else, but this is too interesting to pass up!)

Is it possible for me to run the mod with the free original game and the expansion?

Also, is Steam required?

you can run this with arma II free (you'll still need arma 2 OA of course)

you can do it without steam , you don't need steam at all since you can manage and launch the mod with the Arma II launcher

TAKE NOTE: you'll not have the HD textures with arma II free (and so to get the full HD text you need to buy Arma II (not the free, but the full version)

and so if you plan to do this i suggest you buy Combined operation (including Arma II +Arma II OA)

It's alright. I'm not really in it for the HD textures (considering one, I'm still saving up and two, I'm playing on a laptop and it might lag too much on me.)

Glad I can use the free version; now I just need to find out where to buy OA. Are physical copies available in stores?

Yes you can, however, with that being stated, the textures for Arma II free are terrible and the game does not look to pleasing.

Besides, to do so requires some file work. Simple however if your worked with mods before.

I did it because I already had OA, and after a few hours bought the full game due to the graphics.

So I'd just go with the combined operations package.

Oh, and before you go spend money on a game for a MOD. Make sure you are really into it.

I'm into zombie games, if that's any good. I really just want to experience the game, and how bad are we talking about the free version?

the free version is still playable. i played with it for almost 2 months. But believe me, the HD texture with the arma II full will change A LOT your experience and you'll not suffer lot of FPS decrease. Even at medium graphics the game will be lot better with the full version than at maximum graphics with the free version.

Can you use the search function and/or Google? In that case yes, you can.
