Arma 2: Free is a free version of Arma 2 without the campaign or mod support. The graphics are also somewhat reduced. But, custom missions are supported and there are no other restrictions on the game or missing content. (Unless you're comparing it to Combined Operations which is what the hl2.net arma players have)
I and others have talked about this game countless times on the boards, and we've posted screenshots and videos of our game sessions on occasion. Please, do not continue to ignore this game because of your preconceived notions. 'Oh that game ain't for me, I'm not a milsimmer.' If you liked running around in a squad with friends in BF2, you will be blown away by this.
Many, but not enough, hl2.netters have joined in on the fun both in the past and the present:
Raziaar
Viperidae
Sliver
Krynn
Badhat
Morgs
Hokey
Acepilot
Lobster
Hectic Glenn
Frosted
ZombieTurtle
Dinnesch
Ren.182
These people aren't hardcore milsimmers or gun nuts. These people enjoy a genuine cooperative teamwork experience, in a highly immersive game environment. When I say 'genuine', I'm implying that no other FPS game boasting itself as featuring teamwork can come close to what Arma is like. The people who have played with us would agree.
So what this thread is for is to gather as many people as we can to have an Arma 2 session. Those of us who own the game can play vanilla Arma 2 with anyone who doesn't own the game. All you need to do is download:
I recommend this set of mirrors: http://www.multiupload.com/878RT4ZYVU
And please post in this thread what times and days would be best for you.
It would be nice if we could get this going within the next couple days, but we can resort to our usual tradition of the weekend.
Edit: And please contact me on Steam if you have any questions or concerns. I do have some advice for getting the game to run better, since some of the default graphics settings aren't very performance-friendly.
