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.

Is this an expansion pack?

Post by: BrotherTobious on May 09, 2011, 11:08:20 AM
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.

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:
