Legit place to buy? I'm in USA.

I really want to play this game after being a big fan of Arma 1. Anyone know where I can buy Arma 2 right now? I don't know german but I hear you can mod it to use english, which is fine. I just don't want to get ripped off or anything.

Yes, i am living in the USA, I bought it off of the German Peter Games website, I filled in all my credit card info and all that (Wit hthe help of a translator) And there is a unofficial patch that converts the ENTIRE game to english :)

Then install the patch 1.01, and insert your CD-key when prompted and when asking to activate online. Then you can use a English patch to convert it to all english.

If there's any German words you don't understand, use Google Translator, it will do an acceptable job of translating(Its not the best but you can understand it)

Thanks mate, but where is this english patch, how do i get it etc?

:tup:

"Name" stands for "family name" and "Vorname" stands for "first name". Apart from this little mistake (which shouldn't really matter) your translation is correct.

The unofficial English patch seems to have been made from a leaked preview version and the moderators decided this subject should not be discussed openly on the forum.

This is what the download page will look like:

If you need anything PM me.

Ah, ok I had them swapped Around then lol...oops, oh well at least i got the game :D

Cool. Is the german version edited? Like less blood or something? Can german users play with users of other nations online or are the clients not compatiblez?

Blood is all the same, i can turn it up high, and I can play online, it will probably be like ArmA 1, you can play in any server, doesnt matter nationality.

Searching for "america AND release" leads to this perfectly suitable existing thread, please search before posting. I'll copy the posts from here into that thread so you can continue there.
