So if i buy AH we can merge them both together to make Arma2 Combined Operations? |
Combined Ops was a bundle of 2 separate games installed separately  |
well that makes no sense then in the "adding them together" part from earlier posts....?
surely it would of made a seperate install and no wonder it worked as it was a new game standalone in its own right with its own key for use lol...
need more info from NoLiMiTSoLDieR on wether he just dragged all the pbo's etc into arma2 from arrowhead and the sorts..
Either way I dont get if arrowhead is standalone why would you need to have arma2 installed, if so this makes arrowhead standalone in the sense it just has its own shortcut to run the mod via Arma2 base pack..
This to me would seem a sneaky way ( if it works ) for the publisher to make people think you can not just add it "pirated" to the base game..
Ill await more info.. |
Lets clear this up 
First off I tested it with the ISO of Operation arrowhead, I dont think this will be different with the original version.
its was pretty simple to set-up all I had to do is use a new shortcut for them to combine.
You dont even need to have the games in the same directory and/or partition.
Found this on the BI forums posted by a DEV, take a look here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101214
You only need _runA2CO_nonSteamOA then your good to go.
Aight so here is how I tested it.
I already had Arrowhead installed on a different partition Arma2 I got on N:\, Arrowhead on O:\
Thought it wouldnt work like this but it did.
If you take a close look at the shortcut you'd notice that it reads the location of both A2, AO, through the register and combines them using a -mod expansion switch.
You can also still run the games seperatly, if you wanna bash free users 
Here a shot of the game running to prove its running combined.
Now, last but least will multiplayer work?
Im pretty sure it will work like this, when you go to the MP browser, all servers show up as connectable (combined ops)
However when I try to join them its says I got a BAD CD-KEY, which makes sense cuz i tested it with a fake serial for AO
* also I think you dont need to have ARMA2 original to play combined online.
Way back I found some bug to play Resistance online with a pirated copy aswell, but OFP was legit though.
I'm definitly sold will get me A.O a.s.a.p.
Now how is the performance compared to arma2? on the multiplayer part that is.

ARMA 2 Technical Problems Fixed!
We’ve rolled out a patch today that fixes the FADE issues many of our users have been experiencing over the weekend. This issue occurred when the way we package games interfered with Arma’s own anti-piracy system because the GMG version of Arma 2 modified the game files. You can patch the game now using Capsule, and if you experience any further problems with Arma or any of our titles please don’t hesitate to post a ticket.

what it dont say is if it downloads the whole game again, after reading such and such with the methods they use  , does this patch mean , hey fuck u lot u must grab it all again and then unpack.install... or is it really a patch.... |
The patch filesize should be just 1.6 MB and then (maybe) everything will be fine  |

I'm going to buy OA but i was thinking of downloading it, and purchasing a key from the web.
Is this too risky or are there reliable gamekey sellers out there?

Almost the same with USD. Individual price $59.96. Package Price $59.99 woooooh!
I think the reason though is that ARMA Gold and CWA are part of the package but not available on steam (yet?) but don't have prices so they just show as N/A. They'll probably throw on another $10 or $15 I bet to make it look like a better deal
This little blurb at the bottom could be good for some of you though.

Yup it has FADE. Tutorials and stuff are working fine but as soon as you start a campaign the screen gets blurry and something is wrong with the shooting mechanics.
