The definitive virtual military experience.

Arma 2: Combined Operations, the ultimate mod-enabled first person perspective military simulation, bundled with the Operation Arrowhead expansion, is now available for 20% off on GOG.com! That's $23.99 in the release week.

HA-TTENTION recruits! Uncle Sam must be a man of great faith, because he believes that US Army can craft a pile of stinking, dirty clay into a squad of Marines that can be trusted with shooting commies and defending democracy. In fact he put me in charge of performing that small miracle. So you think you know something about modern combat, because you answered some call about duty? Or maybe you got yourself a medal for what passes as honor in those smelly backwoods you call home!? You think you know how to handle your M16s and drive your hummvees because you've done it before IN A GAME?! Well, this is no ordinary game, maggots! This is the United States Marine Corps! This is is Arma 2!

From the creators of Operation Flashpoint comes Arma 2: Combined Ops, the ultimate military simulation. The unmatched level of realism in recreating weapons, equipment, vehicles, and battlefield conditions paired with the incredible scale and detail of the virtual war theater create a gritty, believable US Marine experience. Huge single-player campaigns, massive online multiplayer, mods, and a flexible built-in mission editor guarantee weeks of captivating play. The Combined Ops edition contains the original Arma 2 game and the Operation Arrowhead expansion required to run the game's most popular modification. You know: DayZ. The one with the zombies.

Prove that you have what it takes to leave behind your casual shooters and become a US Marine in Arma 2: Combined Ops for a special price of $23.99 until Tuesday, August 28 at 10:59 AM GMT.!

SLP2000: I thought GOG is releasing full versions only.

JudasIscariot: ARMA 2: Combined Operations is the full game as we received it from the publisher. The DLC or expansion packs are sold seperately everywhere, including the publisher's own page.
But the expansion is included! Don't forget that!

(Operation Arrowhead. that is)

Edit:

Oh, and I just noticed that the downrepping of those two posts shows that the GOG forums are pretty much on par with Steam right now.

Seriously people ...

no one replyed to my last post here so bump


questions

1.any single player value in the core game itself besides mods?

2.core game multiplayer any good?
I just confirmed DayZ works with the GOG version (not that I really had any doubts). GOG version is 1.62. I also installed and ran the GG version of Private Military Company and British Armed Forces. All good. Nice release GOG!

Roman5: Now THIS is what I'm talking about! We're in Business now Baby!

Great release, hope to see more AAA new releases on GOG in the future
Definitely!
All DLC content (minus official missions) is included in the game with lower quality textures.
Unexpected release. Nice surprise.
Very, very nice having Arma2: CO on GOG. Thanks for this, Bohemia Interactive.

I already own it from retail, but I might buy the standalone DayZ game if it gets released on GOG. ;-)
$30? <Snigger>. Now we see the true cost of DRM free. Even though no evidence has come forward of GOG's being torrented in any significant sense, the game is $10 more than Steam.

ARMA II : Combined Operations is the same price, $30.00, on Steam.

But hey, why let the facts get in the way ?
Wow, just wow, I'm so glad I didn't get it from Steam during the summer sales. So glad to get it from here instead, nice job GoG.
I've been really turned off by the DRM in the past. But now it's on GOG it is definitely wishlisted - no sense in expanding my huge backlog just yet :)
Nice release

JudasIscariot: Sorry, no DLC content is included :(

chautemoc: I'm probably 80 years late on this, but congrats on the job at GOG. Glad to see you there.
Thank you very much! :D

timppu: Yeah, that's what they say, yet some say they are fully DRM-free. Same as with e.g. Steam's Far Cry 2 release, which is still marked as Securom, but people told it is DRM-free.

That's what I love about GOG, here I don't have to guess and hear different opinions what kind of DRM the game has.

Fred_DM: there are no "different opinions" on the matter. Bohemia routinely patch copy protection out of their games after approximately 6 months. they did with ArmA, and with ArmA 2 as well. it doesn't matter where you buy the game. there won't be any SecuROM left unless you're running it pre-1.05, and no sane person is going to do that.

you can bring up the tiresome DRM argument anytime you want but NOT when the game no longer has any copy protection built-in.
I gotta say, I totally agree with timppu here. and you appear to have completely missed the point. the issue with GG is that it is often not clear whether there actually is or isn't DRM and how invasive the DRM may be. With GoG it's not an issue at all. It's always completely DRM free (as opposed to sometimes is, sometimes isn't, kind of is - "other DRM" for example - that you get with GG). I appreciate that.

and you also aren't the boss of when people can bring up the "tiresome" DRM argument :)
