    Arma 2

    Just bought ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead and wondered who here plays this on-line? Also have a few questions about the game. Firstly has this is a boxed version I have no idea what version it is, so can I just install the latest patch, and will that then install all the previous updates (as well as the patch thats removes the drm?)

    Second thing is how long can mp games last? Last time I played anything like this was the operation flash point games, which could take some time if your team would not go for objectives instead of kills.

    oh man it's AWESOME but it was buggy as hell last time I tried... I loved it.. sincerely.. but it was just... too buggy.

    jerky action sometimes, online was hellish slow and laggy..

    but it's GENIUS too.

    Yep, just patch it up and you should be good to go. With no need to have disc in.

    Missions can last ages (just like OFP). Three hours with a clan on a big mission is not unheard of.

    Thanks! I'm glad to hear the game has not been watered down at all, can't wait to get back into this type of game Oh and one more question.......do you access the mp servers ingame, or can you do it via steam?

    I'll get it from GAME to get the reward points. Just daft really because Steam have just lost two sales.
