Ok i got a few pennys to spare so what game should i buy. You all seem to be into this ARMA at the moment but isn't ARMA 2 coming out? Is it worth me buying ARMA if it's going to get replaced in a few months?

OR

Crysis looks interesting played the Demo and looks like fun.

But then i also seen SB's post about that other games in the Misc Ground assault forum SHOCK FORCE or something.

Oh and then of course there is Sins of a Solar Empire and the list continues.

Sugestions welcomed of the above options or other alternatives.

Thanks in advance PDT_Armataz_01_12

ok well crysis is more single player, I have it but ya don't see us doing multi player with it.

ARMA should be able to find a good deal on that one now, there is a expansion pack for it but we don't have it but its one we can play online as a team. Also with Steels new mod, has given this game a new life with everyone.

GRAW2, in all honesty don't bother


Sins of Solar Empire, its a stragity game but a good few of us have it Hondo, Gater, Softball and myself dad a game of it last night.

Supreme commander similar idea to sins of solar empire few of us have that and expansion, its fun.



For stragity I would get Sins of solar Empire for shooter find a deal on Arma. the problem now is we don't have a great tactical shooter. There are a few big things on the way this year specifically Arma2 and Blackhawk (that helicopter sim).

by ARMA, you'll be happy with the aftermarket add-ons that Steel has collected here.

Well i can get Arma Gold edition for about £17.99 $36 and it includes, the addon Queens Gambit which is the one Veg is talking about i pressume, but i'd have to order it OL and it will take 2-3 days to get hear or i can get same package OL (Download format) for about £5 $10 more.

So i'll probably just go for the Gold edition box set as i always like having the game in my hands so to speak just in case i have a hard drive failure (although i haven't had one yet) and bang thier goes you game.

I have downloaded Steels addons already so should be all ARMAD up by Wednesday hopefully.

Funny thing is the original is dearer than the gold edition?? and the expansion pack is $20on its own.

Get ArmA Nem, you will like it. As others have said, we are not using the expansion, and we are using the 1.09 Beta patch. I can't say enough about the ECS mod, I absolutely love it. It makes me want to play ArmA a LOT more now.

You should be able to run the game without the expansion (Even if you have it installed), I believe it uses a mod folder and you can just run the game with out the
-mod command in the shortcut command line.

Thanks Steel. Um, "advive", "othrs"? Is Veg starting to influence you?

LOL

No, when Veg mispells it doesn't make any sense, I understand Steel's comment perfectly. PDT_Armataz_01_18

Ok have ordered Arma Gold Edition. Should hopefully recieve it by Friday at latest. The original place i found it had no stock so done some hunting and found it cheaper but still new at amazon UK. On the plus side i won £10 on the lottery this weekend so it's really only costing me �5.

That's great news Nemisis. Hopefully we can do some ArmA this week.

The newest beta is 1.12, and that's what Panzer and I are using, so maybe we should all update to it?
