    ArmA2 was the original, came out last year* I believe. US Marines vs. Generic Angry Baltic Revolution.

    ArmA2: Operation Arrowhead is a standalone expansion to A2 that uses a upgraded engine, came out last summer. You do not need A2 to run OA, but if you have A2 installed as well you can use all of it's content in OA. This is called 'Combined Operations'. You can buy them separately, or as the CO pack. It doesn't matter.

    BAF/PMC are expansions to OA. You need OA to run them. A 'lite' version of both DLCs is included with the patches. It allows you to play MP with people who bought them, but you get very degraded textures and such. You have to buy them for the campaigns, missions and full quality stuff.

    If you want to play MP, ideally get CO (A2+OA) or at the very least OA. Most servers have moved up to OA, and occasionally run missions that use A2 content as well (which you would need to be running CO to play). You only 'need' the DLCs if you like the content they add.

    edit:*whoops, it's not December anymore. Came out 2009.

    Thank you!

    I am new to ARMA2. I think i played the demo years ago and wanted to give it another try. I went to the main page and saw all these expansions. I am guessing i need to buy ARMA2 then purchase each additional expansion ? Thanks for info.

    I think the future of gaming lays in the gaming companys hands. I think a lot could be learned if they took a few pointers from Blizzard. Funny because i don't even like WOW but they way they run their setup is almost flawless. I think that contributes A LOT to their success.

    Can i also add this.

    Take Arma2 for example. I paid 50 bucks for this game and ill tell you what from day 1 with all the programming issues i am disappointed. When BIS releases its next game do you really think that i am going to run out to the store to give them even more money ? Hell no. I believe that this is where pirate's start coming in.

    To me: I don't expect a game to be 100% but i also dont expect to , like someone else said "pay to play a beta." If i know the company is a stand up company then i have no problem giving them my money. As far as BIS goes so far ill save my money or something else.
