Heatseeker 0 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) After Arrowhead ships what will you use? After Operation Arrowhead ships all you Armaniacs will be able to play (or edit) Arma 2 and OA combined, OA only (because its a standalone product and doesnt require A2) or just stick with A2 because they wont be getting OA.. edit: Why does it say This poll will close on 07-05-2010 at 04:46 PM? :mad: .

W0lle 1050 Posted June 21, 2010 Both as they are combined after the OA installation. That said this thread is pretty much pointless as it's not either OA or A2 but both together. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryguy 10 Posted June 21, 2010 I want my vanilla arma to have as much stuff as possible, not to mention I don't really see a point in separating the two! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) That said this thread is pretty much pointless as it's not either OA or A2 but both together. ;) Since Op. Arrowhead is standalone i want to find out if people still plan to keep playing A2, there will also be people who will buy Arrowhead but have no interest or dont own original A2. Im also trying to decide if i will reinstall A2 or not, for now i plan to install Arrowhead and let A2 go.. Edited June 21, 2010 by Heatseeker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperwolf572 758 Posted June 21, 2010 Already having A2 I see no good reason to abandon it and not combine the two, not like I'm short on HDD space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted June 21, 2010 Both. Can't exactly put the Russians on Takistan believably. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeno 234 Posted June 21, 2010 OA only as fast as possible as the majority of the new players will have OA only. Specially for MP there's not much choice. Xeno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted June 21, 2010 Well, you have to specify what you mean by both. Because when I get OA, I will probably never launch arma2.exe again, but will still use ArmA2 content in OA with it's content. I mean, OA automatically integrates all of the ArmA2 content, so you probably won't ever be launching OA without the ArmA2 content enabled. I guess that means that option #2 is invalid.

Some people might choose not to use A2 anymore and install OA only, others might not buy OA and stick playing A2 (it sound strange but the possibility exists so its covered).

ahmedjbh 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Just to clarify, can I run OA, and use the arma 2 islands, but in the OA engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted June 21, 2010 Yes, you can. As said before, all of Arma 2's content will integrate with OA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Guess that most players who have A2 still like to play OA with A2 content. There is no need to drop A2 and to reinvent the stuff thats already in there. Of course some adjustments may done here and there to fit OA+A2 needs... Imho there should be no bigger problems with people using A2 and OA playing the same mission. Only probs if the mission is made with OA content and people joining only with A2. But that could be avoided with a proper and userfriendly ingame browser - showing all the required stuff to play missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted June 21, 2010 I probably wont use A2 anymore and wont bother reinstalling it... -Chernarus performs very bad in some areas and as a war zone i just dont like it. -A2 vehicles wont fully support FLIR, and OA provides plenty enough to make up for it. -A2 vehicles might not get some enhancements from OA, like counter measures, etc. -A2 weapons might not use the new enhancements (adjustable scope, tac lights). -I dont like the CDF, NAPA or the comunist insurgents, so good ridance to them. I think i just dont want A2 in my soon to be Arrowhead instalation :) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but I wonder how hard it would be for modders to make it so. Probably wouldn't be too hard and would only require some new textures and config tweaks. Would be interesting to see if such a mod comes into existence. :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 21, 2010 If you are sure - whats the point? Nobody forces you to use A2 or OA or both anyway... :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnimalMother92 10 Posted June 21, 2010 I'll definitely be using both. I won't be launching the arma2.exe anymore but I'll be damn sure to use Arma 2 content in OA - it just opens up so many possibilities! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
