britishwalnut 3 Posted June 19, 2012 I see a lot of free ArmA II things on the net, is that pirating or actually free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blown4Six 48 Posted June 19, 2012 Arma 2 isn't free, but there is a free version with restricted graphics quality. It looks pretty bad. But it's free and then all you need is the OA expansion for day z to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peyj 1 Posted June 20, 2012 I recommend just grabbing the copy from Steam - $19.99 for ARMA II, or $29.99 for the pack including Operation Arrowhead. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought Arma2 CO on steam, never looked back since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commiedic (DayZ) 0 Posted June 20, 2012 There are tons of great mods for ArmA 2 other than DayZ too. Like Island Life or ACE. Single player missions are also a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cultiv8ed 0 Posted June 20, 2012 Unless there is some sort of steam offer on, you will probably find that the retail version of Arma X is cheaper than buying it from steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kain Phalanx 9 Posted June 20, 2012 For clarity. Arma 2 has a free version, but you still need to buy Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead to play DayZ. That's still $20 right now. Or you can pay $30 for Combined Operations which gives you both, meaning you get the extra features of the original Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallstop 0 Posted June 20, 2012 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=arma+2+freeSeeing as how the first link resolves to the official arma2 webpage and the sixth one resolves to bistudio.com (A domain owned by Bohemia Interactive)...Results are inconclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought Arma2 CO on steam, never looked back since.Releasing this free version was a bad move then IMO.I was interested in ArmA II, so I downloaded the Free version to see how good it was, and I thought either it was very extremely poorly optimized or its graphics were crap.Needless to say it dissuaded me to buy the regular one for a long time before Day Z came around.
