Scorned 21 Posted July 14, 2012 Hey guys. Any advantage to buying Arma 2 on Steam? It's $3 more on Steam.. I know one advantage is having it tied to my Steam account for ease of d/l later on.. any other reasons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idunc 62 Posted July 14, 2012 It is on sale on Amazon for $19.99. Pay the extra $4 and buy it on Steam, just because Steam is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorned 21 Posted July 14, 2012 While I don't disagree about Steam being awesome, is that enough of a reason? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izithel 23 Posted July 14, 2012 Steam sales run till 22 of this month, they have a habit of putting stuff already on sale in the daily deal.If you wait till the 22nd you can check if Steam puts it up REAL cheap, otherwise just go for whichever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAXAMOUS 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Steam is crap. I know numerous people that bought arma2 on steam who have nothing but trouble getting dayz to run.Bought it day before sale. Didn't have any issues. Download Arma 2, Download CO. Then install+run Six Updater/Launcher. Verify files to patch. Join a server.Steam is awesome. I've used it for 8 years and it's a very polished digital distribution platform which Amazon is not. If you want to save a few extra bucks go with amazon though. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyanyde 165 Posted July 14, 2012 Don't buy it from Steam, buy it from BI's website.It's 25% off (vs. 20% on Steam, and it includes a free set of printed maps and postcards)They even have the Steam version available on their site! https://store.bistudio.com/arma2-combined-operations-steam-version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
