Where/how/when to buy ARMA2:OA?

[Raptor228 10]

Good to know. Thanks Placebo. Oh and I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been following this forum for almost two years, I just decided to make an account now. Oh and do you know if steam does this too?

I visited a store that carries a pretty amazing selection of PC games and they had OFP:DR on the shelf, which I thought pretty amazing. But no OA.

So I asked.

Arma and Arma2 ... neither was in their computer.

I don't know business front end, but something seems to be slipping through the cracks.

If CM is doing it, BIS should too!

p.s. I built a new box for this.

Was this store in West ed? Playme by the ice rink?

My Gamestop copy, according to tracking, should deliver on 07/06.

I just looked, the damn thing is an hour away from me.

Bet UPS holds it until Monday..rat bastards:(

You can always go down to the UPS facility it's being held at and pick it up there. I've done that before. ;)

Wow, I have never seen a game so hard to buy. Went by the local game store and all they had was one copy of Combined Operations. I can't see the point in paying for ArmaII and ArmaII:Operation Arrowhead since I already own a copy of ArmaII. The game store does not have and will not be getting (by the computer) ArmaII: Operation Arrowhead. I went to Sprocket (only place I can find to DL it) , to try and download just ArmaII: OA and with tax it was more than Combined Operations at the local store.

I really wanted to play the expansion but this is just silly of BIS to market a game this way. I feel like I am being forced to buy a game I already own just to be able to play the expansion. I know they say it is stand alone ,but it is just an expansion (same engine, same graphics, same everything, just some new maps and new in game toys)

BIS , you need to take a hard look at whoever is in charge of getting this game to the masses.

Umm... gonna ask again... Direct2Drive? Will it ever be out on it?

[Flash Thunder 10]

Just placed my order on Amazon (US) got one day shipping for 9 dollars which is pretty cheap the standard free shipping is 5 to 9 days.

will come out to 49 dollars which is a steal! :)

I bought Combined Operations at a Gamestop because that was the only version they had; no Operation Arrowhead there. Even though I already have the vanilla ArmA 2; I still bought it. Seeing as it is only ten dollars more, I thought it wouldn't be that unreasonable to buy Combined Operations instead. I didn't regret it. The one thing is, I had to drive a long distance to get it. This game is fuckin' rare as shit.

My Best Buy that I work at has both combined operators and arrowhead by itself. I know the website doesn't even have it but we do carry it. I work in inventory so it's kind of my job to know. As for gamestop, as far as I know they only carry combined arms. I am in Texas if anyone cares.

Meridian4 is the publisher and he live in Canada i do not understand why they do not release it.

Can somebody explain me plz?

Thank you

[Nicholas 5]

You'll most likely have to order it online, from Amazon or such.

[EvenLease 11]

I heard that Gamestop will be receiving them on the 6th in Canada, threw a friend that lives there. So ether that or buy it online.

[TheOneCA 10]

U.S.: Fry's has Operation Arrowhead in their stores. Gamestop has Combined Operations in their stores.

No stores in Vancouver,BC have it.

I've checked every single store that sells games.

[randir14 10]

Gamestop now has OA as "back ordered". Screw it I'll just buy Combined Operations.

My Play.com copy arrived this morning :D

And it would appear that yesterday it sucked 9 hours of my life away :D :p

Fantastic.

I only got up to the 03 pathfinding mission, then spent the rest of the time playing coop multiplayer :D

Fantastic. Epic. BIS Rocks.

Well I had 4 hours of my life ruined by this game (ppfff NOT!) :)

Just wish I could get a better frame rate on my rig.

Need a better graphics card and maybe some overclocking to my phenom quad 2.4ghz cpu!

[S-M 10]

Comparing the two games side by side, OA definitely runs better for me.

It must have been all the bloody trees that were slowing everything down :D
