Okay what's the difference between Arma Combat Operations, Arma Cold War Assault, and Arma Gold Edition? And which is the best?

Because I can run Arma Armed Assault, which is part of Arma Gold, so I'm very excited.

Arma Cold War Assault is the new name for the original Operation Flashpoint

Arma Combat Operations is another name for Arma 1: Armed Assault

Arma Gold contains Arma 1 and it's expansion Queen's Gambit.

Combat Operations contains Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, and is required for the DayZ mod (though it's going standalone soon);

That would be Combined Operations.

Killing Floor Bundle -- MB-4636A6A7885CAC39 - Taken by Stephen_drewz

See you tomorrow for the sale!

 

[Stitch]

lol, I WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT GAME if I turn that stuff off. Ugh, fuck this game.

Mouse and keyboard should still work. Maybe you don't need to deactivate all HID devices. Just turn some off and see if the framerate is still crap.

It definitely works. I had to do this too. Kane & Lynch has the same bug and Ninja Blade too.

This is the only Arma thing you should be concerned with.

Practice up before the standalone hits.

Of course, playing DayZ is the one thing I'd love to do, more than anything else. But my specs can't run Arma 2. Only the Arma games I listed and I like slow paced tactical combat

That would be Combined Operations.

So Arma Gold is the one to get

Yeah, you caught me pre-edit. See, confusing!

Operation Flashpoint (a.k.a. Cold War Assault) was a great game back in its day, but I'm not sure how gracefully it's aged.

 

[v0rtikal]

just a heads up fellas...

First of all, my birthday is on July 20 so mark those calendars, add me on Steam and fill those requests of mine. ;D

Second of all, prepare those (F5) for my first and humble give away.. lurkers excluded, all the rest apply to be the winner! 4 more minutes!

 

[PixyJunket]

Waves is probably the best twin-stick shooter on Steam.

Mark it for your wishlist for the summer sale, the developer needs the sales.

He's making a sequel that is a co-op twin-stick shooter rogue-like.

Awesome. Thankyou so much!

Does the modbot recipient list reset at any point?

EDIT: Wait, I can still do a give away right?

So which is better? Arma Gold or Operation Flashpoint? Cause it seems like Arma is as popular as ever, with 3 coming in Q3, while OF is...not

Agreed but Mutant Storm: Reloaded is also great. Try it if you haven't.

It's one of the only games (if not the only game) I consider even a contender to Geometry Wars 2.

 

[Monado Blade]

It certainly looks like it. I'll download the demo when I get home. At work right now. Thanks for the recommendation

You're asking the wrong person. I've never so much as installed an Arma game.

There was a program that allowed you to add it to your Steam library and it'd choose a game from you library and launch it. Anyone remember it? It was posted in one of the other topics a couple years or so ago.
Thought it'd help me decide on what game to play next.

Holy shit, thank you Vortikal - and happy early birthday!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Okay, I had to make a few policy decisions before tomorrow, so, here it is:
- This thread is near enough to the end of its rope that I will not reopen it after the summer sale, we'll move to a new thread. GRIEF or whoever is handling the next post-summer thread, please be aware of this--and if it's not GRIEF, can you guys sort it out among yourselves? Not sure who talks to who or whatever, but just sort it out.

- ModBot's lurker requirement: It will qualify you if you posted 5 times in either this thread or the new thread. It doesn't sum the two together because of the way it's programmed. So basically that's my way of saying if you don't qualify now, you'll have to qualify in the new thread, but if you qualify now you'll be grandfathered in.

There's a new thread! Or it's not up yet?

 

[PixyJunket]

Agreed but Mutant Storm: Reloaded is also great. Try it if you haven't.

That one is okay, it's a shame the much superior sequel isn't on Steam, but try it on XBLA if you can.

Awesome giveaway vortikal, happy early birthday!

Just to be clear, are you getting it to play a military tactical or for DayZ?

Cause I think I remember DayZ wouldn't work with what was in Gold.

 

[mbmonk]

Of course, playing DayZ is the one thing I'd love to do, more than anything else. But my specs can't run Arma 2. Only the Arma games I listed and I like slow paced tactical combat


So Arma Gold is the one to get

today for the first time I was able to run arma 2 smooth at 1080p. I just upgraded to 4gb of ram.... I am such a baller. I was on winxp until a couple of days ago

I am playing operation arrowhead now. love me some buggy ass arma single playa

[Miker]

What's the ModBot business about?

 

[JaseC]

why do people keep thinking it's been confirmed for tomorrow?

Midweek Madness ending at 10am rather than 4pm, the e-mail purportedly from Steam Support confirming the date, and Playism's now-deleted tweet confirming the date.

Why can't you wait till the Seal is over, in any case? It's not like they are going to run out of keys.

Man, you know how those things are, I NEED to buy it.

i just bought Alice MR, the game art is beautiful, too bad is framelocked at 30 fps, the gameplay is ok, a little repetitive but ok. this game is definitely on my "best five dollars i've ever spent" videogame list.

 

[More_Badass]

Just to be clear, are you getting it to play a military tactical or for DayZ?

For military tactical.

My one PC dream is to play DayZ, but I cant run Arma 2

Don't worry about it. Everything should go through shortly if you claimed it and the edit occurred.
