You can buy ARMA 2: Combined Operations through Steam for $30. This includes ARMA 2 and OA.

There is also an ARMA X: Anniversary edition that was on special a day or 2 ago for $36 (not sure if it still is - can't access Steam from work). This version also includes PMC (for high res skins) and ARMA 1.

1) I recommend steam as its less work to get it working than retail.
2) You need to get ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead (ARMA 2 OA).
3) Local server gets full sometimes, max 50 players, on the nag forum they are talking about increasing player limit as the next fix is to allow less desync and more players.
4) I cant answer that for you, its a loot , shoot , survive kinda game, When they switch on the choppers you will be able to get choppers, there are bicycles , quad bikes, 4x4 , busses , boats, that are scattered around the 234X234 km map, that can be repaired and re-fulled to make travel easier.However you become a target as its not easy just to have a vehicle...Surviving is difficult from start( you only have a bandaid and painkillers, no weapons).... If a zombie gets you they will hurt you to the point you bleed, if you go below certain blood points(health) your screen shakes until you replenish you blood by eating and drinking.If it rains your temp drops.It has day and night, night being the most dangerous as you can only have a flashlight or a gun used.

Listen like mentioned its Alpha, its bugged , if you can deal with the bugs and not get attached to your progression then get it, otherwise you will find yourself getting frustrated and hating the game.

I rate once its beta that aspect will dissapear.

Sold. Don't really care about bugs. So would you say its worth buying Arma 2 just for this mod?

Busy playing it too, dying a lot. I think I've died 20 times now, best weapon I've found was an axe and that only happened once.

If you are with FNB, then you can get your self Paypal and link it up to you FNB account. I pay all my steam games with paypal.

Im still trying to find a copy so i can play...all i can do is watch people play on youtube, sad hey. My credit card wont work with steam for some reason and prophecy dont have it either.

Anyone have any tips?

Last night was terrible, this artifacting bug is killing me and someone was using every hack in the book on ZA4 server, every 10 minutes my loot would get replaced with a full set of random loot... all good if you're just starting out but I lost an M249.
