GunnDawg09 10 Posted January 1, 2011 Do people still play the Original ArmA 2 without any of the DLC? I've only got the original ArmA 2 and was curious if I will be able to find anyone to play with. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted January 1, 2011 Whenever I feel nostalgic, I fire up the ol' ArmA II and fool around in the editor somewhat. That's about it, though. The OA/DLC have so much more features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted January 1, 2011 The fact is that OA brings so many updates, and since the ArmA 2 content is still usable with OA, there's really no reason to not use OA. The DLCs just add new content, so there's probably less people using them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunnDawg09 10 Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah I just cannot afford it at the moment as I have been laid off. Money is tight, so new PC games have been put on hold. Maybe one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well there's a sale (and have been several this holiday season) currently on BI stuff on Steam and Sprocket, so now's the time to buy... Currently OA is 60% off on Sprocket and 33% off on Steam.

infiltrator_2k 29 Posted January 1, 2011 I'm thinking some people may temporarily revert back to vanilla just so they can fully appreciate OA and DLC's :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted January 1, 2011 I'm thinking some people may temporarily revert back to vanilla just so they can fully appreciate OA and DLC's :DSince the Red Harvest Campaignn is not workingwel in OA im back to ArmA II to play it...and I still find crowded Warfare BE Servers running ArmA II. The original ArmA II content is still played best in 1.08 since the most of it is still not upgraded to OA standards. The two games do not mix very well. The merging without updating the old units at least a bit to the same functional level was no good idea from BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxbbcc 6 Posted January 2, 2011 any CIT tickets # about the 'not working well in OA (A2:CO)' ? Playing with some addons, the entire campaign is badly broken. Since I want to keep the addons, I gave up on Red Harvest. In my opinion (and this is just my belief, not substantiated by facts) Harvest Red was very poorly implemented. I used to use lots of addons with the Arma 1 campaign and never had any issues with it (in fact, it became much better.) Harvest Red is unplayable with a very similar set of addons.

Baff1 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Do people still play the Original ArmA 2 without any of the DLC? I've only got the original ArmA 2 and was curious if I will be able to find anyone to play with. Thanks. That's what I normally play, but I don't play it online unfortunately I like the enviroment and armies in Vanilla ArmA 2 far more than in the addon's and their are some pretty excellent campaigns out there to DL.
