If anyone's interested, Zavvi are doing OpArHe for £9 at the moment. Shipping might be a while but it's cheap if anyone's looking. I bought one.

I am not wearing a vest and pants for your benefit, shingle boy.
Oh look.. Zavvi has just posted my game..
Should only be another six weeks from now before I get it and can play.. :)
Ohh that's shocking hope to see you on the server soon.
Is this an expansion pack?
Well kinda but no. Arma 2 OA is stand alone but can be combiened with Arma 2 so that you can play OA on Arma 2 map (that was the idea)
But you can buy and play with us just using Arma 2 OA.
Hope that helps.
Pah beaten to the punch by Toby. Ignore this.
Orderd though DMW's Amazon shop
It's Arrived!!
Now if I can only get it installed and patched this w/e I might be able to give it a go..
Then.. Roll on Boot Camp!

Same here lol
I will have to re-install mine and give it another try.
Should be able to run one on Sunday night if you guys would like let me know. Just a heads up lads it a STEEP learning curve. So be patient with it.
Steep is not quite the right word for the learning curve. Piggin' steep is more accurate.
Took me about 2 weeks before I managed to actually shoot someone, about 3 weeks to work out 1/4 of the controls ( I still don't know 1/2 of the buttons/options) and I'm still working on flying a chopper and landing it in one piece.
But once you get into it it can be a rewarding game and definitely does not suit run and gun tactics. Sneaky, sneaky, slowly, slowly catchee monkey.
Think of it as co-op army SIM rather than a FPS and you won't go far wrong. plus it's defiantly a slow burn rather than a blaze of death and destruction. It's probably why it fits in with CoD4 and Bad Company so well as it doesn't really compete with either ..... except for your time :wink:
It is true but we can get you up and killing, if you like me to run a boot for you or a number of you then just post here Boot Camp (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?31565-Boot-Camp)
Hope to see you on the server soon lads and lasses
