Well, you could buy the CO pack for $3 more then gift the Arma II to someone.

How in the world are you getting a better FPS than me when my specs are better than yours AND I'm even running the demo on all normal settings.

I'm getting the boxed version, would I still have problems then?

So if we buy the Combined Operations collection we don't have to do all of this? This is only for those who had Arma 2 before OA came out or those who bought them seperate?

Hmm, just had an idea if I can't find the boxed version. Later next month when college starts back, I'll take my laptop,buy the game off of Steam and download it during class and in between classes. They have fast internet at my community college. I can download stuff quick there. Then when I'm through for the day and go home in the afternoon, I'll transfer the files to my desktop. Genius! EDIT: OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE CLOSEST BEST BUY HAS COMBINED OPERATIONS NOW!! I looked yesterday and they didn't have it but today they do. Isn't that crazy? The moment I make the post about not finding it, I do find it! I don't plan on going to town until later next week though. Americans you might wanna check your closest Best Buy website every now and then if you haven't gotten the game yet.

Does anyone here fly the choppers with the Logitech Extreme 3d Pro? Could you recommend a button layout for the choppers? I tried the Little Bird mission but I crash trying to kill the convoy while flying with the mouse and keyboard.

Why does the mouse movement feel so sluggish? It's not that it's too slow or too sensitive, but it's just not smooth. It's not a performance issue or anything like that, just the controls. Is there a setting I should try changing?

I'll buy it if I can ever find a hard copy of Combined Operations.

Still downloading, but I did stop the download for a few hours because others in the house wanted to use the internet but it was slow for them during the download. Ok so I got an error message on the torrent, so I started downloading from Steam and it's downloading it faster now, it's already gotten further in 1 hour than the torrent did in 3 hours.

omg taking so long to download, been going since noon and it's 4PM now. Not even halfway done.

I hate having a 1.2 mbps connection, says I have 9 hours left on the download but I'm using the torrent version so maybe that's why. Normally it takes me like 5-6 hours to download 2-3 gigabytes.

Nice!!! I can start downloading at noon, will give me plenty of time left during the day to play it. 2 more hours!

I just checked the Best Buys near me and the closest one that has it is 22.1 miles away. Closest Gamestop that has it is about the same distance away. Maybe my dad can get it on the way home from work one day, he drives past there every day. I'll have to ask :) but of course I'd have to pay him for it.

How the heck do I make an AI pilot land the chopper I'm in?

Yeah but there's people like me who only have a 1.5 down/.75 up and can only download at like 150kb/s which sucks because anything over a gigabyte takes over two hours. Imagine downloading 15-20GB for a game.

Apparently one store in my area does have either Arma 2 or OA, not both. I want both but can't find both. I want Combined Operations the most. I might have to get it from Newegg.

I think the reason is that most retailers flood their stores with console games because they know that they will sell millions of more console games than PC games. Everything I go to a store to buy a game, when I ask them for the game, they ask "for Xbox 360 or PS3?", and I say PC, and they are like "Oh...ok, we only have 3 or 4 copies though, you're lucky."

Man I can not find this game in ANY store near me. I've checked all 3 Gamestops nearby, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, other local game stores. I looked on the internet and the closest store that I've seen that has Arma 2 is over 2 hours away and there's no way in heck I'd go 2 hours. I wouldn't even go if it was 30 minutes away, no sense in it. And I can't download it because it would literally take me like 3 or 4 days.

Hmm, I'll have to check that out. I'm just talking about most of the ones on the map, like the red diamond and other stuff like that.

I remember way back I bought Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, I downloaded every single patch that was ever released for the game only to find out that I didn't need a patch at all. I started with the first patch and installed AND downloaded every last patch at least twice because I kept getting error messages, biggest waste of time in my life. I do not want this to happen with this game. So will I just need the latest patch or what?

Thanks to you and Antigoon, now I just need to figure out where to buy the game. There's no way I'd download this going 160kb/s lol.

I never got an answer for this question.

Is there a place where I can find what all of the icons on the map mean? I saw some on the map today that I had no idea where they were.

That's good to hear. I may get the game eventually if I can ever find it in a store (Combined Operations). The demo is growing on me too. I keep playing it over and over again to keep learning things. Like today, I learned that you could buy weapons/units, and construct things. Here's a question, since that's what this thread is used for... how do I select all of my teammates instead of having to press F2-F5 one after another? Is there a single button I can press? And another question: Will "Combined Operations" have the most recent patch at the time of it's release?

Ahh ok. I saw that pop up today and was wondering what that was. They were all red. It was on a scenario where I had a squad leader and I guess he died. Another question. Does the full game perform better than the demo? The demo performs ok on mostly high settings.
