I haven't bought it yet because I've been waiting for it to go on sale. I have arma 2 free and I got it after it was off the steam store. I pasted something in my web browser and it started up steam and started downloading. I found the arma 2 addon files online. Im guessing I can download that and drag it to the operation arrowhead addons. I did that in Garry's mod for the CS: Source textures and I am 1. wondering if you do the same thing for this and 2. can you also get the british armed forces and the other stuff needed for 100% textures online. That's about it. Im hoping someone can reply to me. Not really a rush because I won't me buying it probably in the next 12 dayz* (If it goes on sale for black friday which I don't have much hope for but hey, it might!) *I've had the Dayz-craving disease for a few weeks now. It does stuff to you.

You don't even really need ArmA 2 installed, just that Addons folder.<br /><br />When you join a DayZ server, it calculates a GUID (which it uses to track your progress) from the Operation Arrowhead serial number. It never goes near your ArmA 2 serial, so you just don't need it.<br /><br />Once you've bought Operation Arrowhead, go into your ArmA 2 program folder and find the Addons folder. It will probably be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Addons<br />Right click on the Addons folder itself and copy it. Then go into your Operation Arrowhead program folder and paste it there.kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-75378792775462514662013-08-06T18:46:23.412+01:002013-08-06T18:46:23.412+01:00Is it possible to play DayZ if I buy Arma 2: OA, a...Is it possible to play DayZ if I buy Arma 2: OA, and already have Arma 2 but not legit (fake cd key)?

Most of time you're running around in trees and grass and there's no difference there. Even with the 'higher' textures, I'm not exactly running around marvelling at the slightly higher resolution of the frigging wallpaper inside a building - I'm a bit too busy staying alive to pay any attention to that kind of stuff.<br /><br />You can modify the textures yourself, but you'll struggle to find any server to play on. The servers all have keys relating to each file and if your files don't match it won't let you join. About the only way you could do it would be to use the single player mod that we've got (link below) and play around offline or find a server that doesn't check file keys (and I don't know if there are any of them these days).<br />http://kodabar.blogspot.com/2012/05/dayz-offline-single-player-practice.html<br /><br />There was a bit of a problem early on in DayZ's lifespan where people were playing with deliberately low graphics settings, removing things like grass, etc to give them an advantage over other players. These days, the servers all enforce a certain level of graphics settings to prevent it from happening (it's why you don't see any difference when adjusting graphics settings when in an online game).<br /><br />The ArmA games have always been very trusting of the players, allowing them to control most aspects of the game (it's why hacking is so easy), but DayZ has sadly brought to the game series a lot of twats who want to muck about and cheat. So the freedom to customise and modify the game has been curtailed as much as possible to prevent these bad-minded players from screwing things up for everyone.<br /><br />If you are interested in our single player version, we have forums where there are a group of people who further modify the game and add in new features and things like that. They may well be interested in a chap who would like to modify the graphics.kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-60068249459521297472013-03-24T18:55:01.282+00:002013-03-24T18:55:01.282+00:00You can tell the difference between the screenshot...You can tell the difference between the screenshots, but will it matter during the gameplay?

Although it is an expansion of ArmA 2, it's actually a standalone game that doesn't require ArmA 2 (or anything else) in order to play. The game engine in OA is a more advanced version of the one used in ArmA 2. DayZ uses the game engine from Operation Arrowhead and takes a lot of its objects and textures from there. But it takes the game map (Chernarus) from ArmA 2 (full or free) and some of the object textures as well. Some further textures and objects are taken from Private Military Company and British Armed Forces, two DLC packs for OA - but OA ships with 'lite' versions of PMC and BAF. Confusing, eh?<br /><br />To get the absolute best textures, you need ArmA 2 (full), Operation Arrowhead and the PMC and BAF DLC packs. Sadly, Operation Arrowhead does not replace the lower resolution ArmA 2 Free textures.<br /><br />Just to make things even more complicated (but slightly cheaper), Bohemia has released certain combination packages:<br />Combined Operations = ArmA 2 (full) + Operation Arrowhead<br />ArmA 2: Reinforcements = Operation Arrowhead + BAF (full) + PMC (full)<br />ArmA 2: Anniversary Edition (hard to find) = ArmA 2 (full) + OA + BAF (full) +PMC (full)<br /><br />The cheapest way to play is to use ArmA 2 Free and Operation Arrowhead.<br />Using ArmA 2 (full) and Operation Arrowhead will get you 95% of the highest resolution textures.<br />Anniversary Edition is the cheapest way of getting 100% of the highest resolution textures.<br /><br />Having said all that, DayZ pretty much only uses the BAF and PMC textures for a couple of things. For example, the camouflage clothing set you can find. If anything, this puts you at a disadvantage as other players with this clothing are harder to spot if you have the better textures.<br /><br />However, as you only need the Addons folder from ArmA 2 (Free or full), it is possible to copy that over from an existing installation (which might, ahem, belong to someone else) in order to play with almost the best graphics at the cheapest possible price.<br /><br />Have I confused the hell out of you now?kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-259065513925736092012-09-06T21:48:29.097+01:002012-09-06T21:48:29.097+01:00so if i get arma II free and THEN buy the Operatio...so if i get arma II free and THEN buy the Operation Arrowhead addon i still have the "bad" resolution or do i get the better one like from the arma II full?max rebelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-34625630522336225972012-08-17T00:48:43.482+01:002012-08-17T00:48:43.482+01:00Blimey, it does indeed seem like Steam has removed...Blimey, it does indeed seem like Steam has removed ArmA 2 Free.
