ArmA II

Post by [SD]happynoobing »

Anyone play ArmA2? what's the multiplayer like? is it mainly coop mode for missions or BF style free battlefield?

50% off on steam over the weekend btw.

Its definitely a fun game and it is worth $25. The multiplayer is good, you can do COOP or fight players. I am more of a COOP fan though and ArmA 2 is good at that. With player scripted and made maps it can be really run.

I considered buying it, but I just don't know.

I'm scared it's like AA; you sit in a corner for 10 minutes, then you get shot from nowhere and die, then you wait another 30 minutes for the round to end.

DayZ is worth it to buy for. If you have two screens, I recommend you open a map on your 2nd screen, because when you start it can be confusing as ****.

Look into the DayZ mod definitely. That's the only reason Arma II is the most bought game in the sale.

Well a standalone version for DayZ is coming in September. So if you are not in a hurry you shouldn't buy it just for DayZ. It's pretty good but meh.

If you don't want to wait for the standalone, get it. If you enjoy that sort of games, Arma II is decent enough even if you end up not liking DayZ.

I've had the game for only two days, and I wish I hadn't wasted so much time doubting whether or not to buy it. It's a blast, if you're playing with a friend, at least.

Went looting Cherno with a friend today. All was going really well, butchered a few zombies, dodged some sniper bullets, found some decent stuff. We turn around to leave the building, we're standing face to face with this stranger. My friends repeats "We're friendly!" a few times (I'm too busy gawking at him to do the same). The guy doesn't say or do anything. Friend decides he isn't going to take the chance and shoots him.
Turns out the guy had a boatload of great stuff. Also a Mountain Dew.

Been raiding helicopter crash sites with my friend lately, guess I'm close to fully geared out now. I've got a L85A2 AWS, an AS50, camouflage jacket. But I'm still looking for night-vision goggles. So yeah, that's my primary objective right now.

I ended up not getting it, might regret it cause I love those kinds of games, but i'm content with the games I have now so it might be no problem. Hopefully it doesnt die out when its individually released, but War Z is on the horizon as well.
