ARMA 2 Free - For Combined Ops Lite

[Sickboy]

ARMA 2 Free has received patch to v1.11 together with the ARMA 2 Original, and OA v1.60 patches.

From the beginning it was possible to use ARMA 2 Free to combine it with Operation Arrowhead, to get Combined Ops Lite.
Lite - because you are missing the ARMA 2 original campaign and missions and reduced texture quality.

This gives you the ability to join Combined Ops servers, albeit with somewhat reduced texture quality for the ARMA 2 original content. You do not need the campaigns and missions for multiplayer anyway.

This is especially useful for people not owning ARMA 2 original. But for full texture quality and full ARMA 2 original experience, you are still encouraged to buy the full game.

Full support for ARMA 2 Free is available in Six Updater, you can also download, install and update ARMA 2 Free, directly from within the Six Updater, Games section.

please note you still need the paid ARMA 2: OA ... this is not ARMA 2: CO Free

Well this is neat. I am surprised I didn't think of it already. Should work fine with any mods that require CO to.

A2 Free + OA not free = Will users have mod support this way?
So when I enlist people in my squad I'll just tell them to buy original OA and that's all? They'll be able to play with same mods but reduced texture quality, right?

AFAIK, yes.

I do not have A2 but I have A2f installed. I had bought OA and installed it before the A2f came out. I cannot see any attack choppers in MP game. Would it help if I uninstalled OA then reinstall because I had OA installed first???

[.kju [PvPscene]]

OA.exe "-mod=x:\path\to\arma2;expansion"

[Twigg]

OA.exe "-mod=x:\path\to\arma2;expansion"

[ms_stealth67]

I put that line in and still have no attack choppers in OA.
