Cionara 10 Posted May 29, 2009 Hi guys. I'm downloading Arma II right now from gamesplanet.com for 39,99€. As far as I know there will be no manual attached to the installation. Is there maybe a manual PDF-File or something ? Because I think I really need it, I am maybe the biggest noob in Arma in whole Germany ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted May 29, 2009 yeah the manual is inside as a PDF, all in German so you should be good to go :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cionara 10 Posted May 29, 2009 Oh that's awesome :D thank you for the info ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted May 29, 2009 And before anyone asks, no it's not ok to share any versions of the manual around ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabong 1 Posted June 19, 2009 Just so everyone is aware, the Nexway download version of ArmA 2 does NOT include a PDF of the manual. :P See Placebo - I didn't make the same mistake twice. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricM 0 Posted June 19, 2009 There's a pdf manual (88 pages) in the german download version from Metaboli too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demiun 10 Posted June 19, 2009 I have downloaded the nexway version and miss the manual. Who should I ask it for please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabong 1 Posted June 19, 2009 Whatever you do, DON'T ask for it here - Placebo closed the last thread asking for it. You will have to contact Nexway. For english support, the email provided in the order confirmation is arma2_en@nexway.com. I have emailed complaining about the missing manual but have not heard back from them yet. If anyone does hear from them, please post what they had to say about it here, so that we are all aware of their position on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted June 19, 2009 I have downloaded the nexway version and miss the manual. Who should I ask it for please ? Imagine you walked into a local multimedia store and bought a hardcopy there. Then you came home and realized that the box did not contain a manual. Who do you ask?

kabong 1 Posted June 19, 2009 I emailed Nexway about 6 hours ago and no response. Looks like we won't get a fix until next week at the soonest. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von_paulus 0 Posted June 19, 2009 505 version doesn't bring any pdf manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabong 1 Posted June 19, 2009 505 version doesn't bring any pdf manual. Not even a pdf manual?! I find that hard to believe. From what I've read, the German box and digital download both have a pdf manual. Why wouldn't 505 have it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoog 18 Posted June 19, 2009 That would be a scam. You get it digital, most of the times you pay the full retail price, but you don't get a case, printed dvd, manual or even a digital one! I hope it's not the standard for 505 and that it's just a mistake of nexway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von_paulus 0 Posted June 19, 2009 I'm referring to the 505 DVD version. I checked my DVD and installation.. I don't own the 505 digital version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge.PT 10 Posted June 19, 2009 Paulus does it have a papper manual at least, or no manual at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted June 19, 2009 You get the paper manual in the 505 version, that's why there's no pdf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von_paulus 0 Posted June 19, 2009 Paulus does it have a papper manual at least, or no manual at all? Yes there's a paper manual (as usual) like MehMan said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galzohar 31 Posted June 19, 2009 Did anyone get the game online from a place that supplied an English manual PDF? Or do they all come with none/German? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaldronthesage 10 Posted June 19, 2009 Well that is just something...I am thinking that the reason some online distrubiters are not including the manual for download, and correct me if im wrong, may be in part because the manual contains the cd key for the game. Given the fact that the game is brand new, I do not have a prob waiting for the manual to come out and frankly, I find more useful information from the ShackTac ArmA2 TTP2 Guide then anything. See you all on the battlefield. <S> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comet 10 Posted June 20, 2009 This sucks. They should at least post the manual and map pdf online. I bought the game on nexway and I'm new to Arma. This game has so many options that I really find it bad to not have a manual around. Isn't there any place where I can get it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted June 20, 2009 PDF Map at least, found in this thread (since it also includes other versions). Also a search for map would have given plenty results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoak 0 Posted June 20, 2009 I'm curious, why BI would not allow sharing or even offer direct download of the ArmA II Manual? It's good PR in general to offer the manual for your game or product, many a software Developer does this, and most marketing and PR agencies will recommend it. Even more confounding, if ArmA II is like ArmA in this regard, Dslyecxi's Guide will surpass the manual in every regard, obviating concern for any retail value of the manual, making it a lost PR and good will opportunity to boot. :butbut: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
