You heard me right, arma 2 is now free to play. If your computer can handle it I suggest trying it out.

07:31Arma 2: Free is free to download and play right now
PC Gamer
One of the biggest surprise announcements of E3 this year was that Arma 2 would be going free to play. Just a few weeks after that announcement, Arma 2 is now free to play. You can grab the 960MB download right here. Thanks to RPS for the heads up.
The free version will let you play the full game, including multiplayer, but locks off the highest graphics settings and cuts out mod support and the single player campaigns. Full map editing tools are present in the free version. If you've always been tempted to try a hyper-realistic war sim, this is one you have to try. We'll see you on the battlefield.
No mods or singleplayer campaigns. You only get the vanilla version of the game with the about 10 scenarios and map editor.

Wow, every game is going F2P all of the sudden...
F2P means shitty community. This is especially bad with TF2, because the community is already god-awful, and now every preteen kid who can't afford to pay for games is going to jump on it's probably not even going to be playable anymore...

Dexta I really don't know why it is not working for you it worked fine for me, and if you guys want me to host a server tell me I may have some good custom scenarios.

OK, for anybody who wants to try this out, if you bought your computer factory made for under $700, you probably cant run it well.

Obviously computer's performance is dictated by the price. I mean obviously my IBM 5100 could run Arma II without a problem, since it cost 9000$...

In these times, yes. Companies basically give you the price of all the items inside the case, and a little more for labor. Mine cost $500 and as I was upgrading it, I looked at all the prices of the parts inside it before the upgrade (they did change a little) and it totaled up to about $400 (remember, they did change prices over time). The best parts are (usually) the most expensive. I know my computers, so gtfo.

Lol, you really are an idiot. SC2 is pretty damn low-performance game on today's standards, which is not a surprise considering it's an RTS... ArmaII was THE benchmarking game when it came out, which is not a surprise either considering it's trying to be an ultra-realistic FPS and has massive maps and lots of detailed terrain.BLACK SNOW 13 wrote:I can play SC2 but not this?????

And laptop for high performance gaming? Go jump off a bridge...

Yeah, not even my friend's customized $2000 alienware laptop could run this. Then again, most of the price goes to the fancy LEDs and alienwares are kinda shit anyways
