which ARMA should I get?

Recommended Posts

I don't have any of the games but would like to buy them, mainly for Project Reality. Are any of the games outdated or are there any I should not get?

( I jest registered, go easy )

You should get ArmA 2: Combined Ops or ArmA X

Combined Ops is ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead, the expantion

ArmA X is OFP CWC (ArmA: Cold War Assault), ArmA: Armed Assault, ArmA Queens Gambit Expansion, ArmA 2, ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead, ArmA 2 BAF DLC and ArmA 2 PMC DLC

Buy arma 2 and arma 2 operation arrowhead install together and you have arma 2 combined operations that all you need, then if you want you can buy two dlc: baf and pmc but you dont have too [if you dont buy dlc, patch the game and you will have units from baf and pmc in game for free, but without missions/campaigns and in low res]

ArmA 2: Combined Operations - Includes ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead.

ArmA X - This includes all the games in the series.

Hmm yeah, this question always gets a lot of confusing sounding choices :D

But, for your PR enjoyment, the minimum I reckon you should have is ArmA2 and ArmA2 Operation Arowhead. Install them in that order. Install them where you like, but install the second one into the location of the first one. Then you're good to go.

The other stuff is included already but in a low-res proxy version. You can get these separately later on if you feel the need. But the above is what you're going to need at the minimum.

Welcome to the forums and hopefully we will see you on the battlefield!

If you have the cash go for Arma X, otherwise go for Arma2 Conbined Operations

ArmA X, riiight. I bet he wants to play all the outdated games from BI.

Buy Combined Operations.

X also comes with the two DLC packs, so I would get it.

If only newer games from BI had a SP part at least on a par with "outdated" OFP CWC

ARMA X will give you the best bang for your buck, as you get 4 games + DLC for €49.99 (I'm going by Sprocket's price)

But if you're not interested in playing the "classics" then I recommend just Combined Operations. You can buy Reinforcements (the two DLCs) later should you choose to.
