What do i need to play ARMA 2 Multiplayer?

[Jozef77 1]

Hello,

i'm new to ARMA 2 and a bit confused about the patches and addons i need to play with other players.

Just bought ARMA 2 Combined Operations @ Steam.

I'm thankful for any help.

Regards

And thats all you need for a start ;), check in game menu what version of game you have if its 1.62.xxxxx all is ok. You can play. But before you will try to join server check if you have all needed addons to play. For example: ACE, ACRE CBA and things like that. You can try to search servers that runs missions without any addons, in most cases Domination type missions.

If you looking for mods and addons check Armaholic http://www.armaholic.com/index.php, there you can find all things for arma (like: mods, addons, missions, campaigns, patches and all other stuff). :)

Yes all addons and mods are for free, this is the beauty of arma 2.

Ps: there are many more sites with addons for arma but this one is the biggest.

Six updater/launcher for downloading and handling mods (and large data ones), patches & betas downloads & updates, launching to servers with filters (with correct mods) and more :)
