how exactly does sprocket work?

[memphisbelle 99]

Hello everybody,

I´ve got a question according to sprocket. I bought the ArmA2 and OA package. Not for me but for my wife. She used to play since ArmA1 with me and my friends. Now I wanted to offer her A2OA. So my question is:

Once I started the downloader on sprocket, would I have the chance to get some files I could put on a stick or disc to take it to my wife´s PC? Or will it be installed right there where I´ve downloaded the package (PC)?

Can someone help me please...I dont want to make "just a try" since I got a awesomly crappy line here (1,5Mbit) and the download for ArmA2 itself will take me more than 10 hours.

any help is apreciated

regards

Memphis

Thanks, now it is clear.

As I read through the last 2 posts. Wont I have the possibility just to use my Discs and the sprocket provided CD keys?

That would makes things easier.

Worth a try i guess. The keys might be compatible with retail versions.

The game doesn't differentiate between downloaded and disc versions

It doesn't differentiate between language-locked keys either

You can use any key you want with any version you want
