Should I Get Arma 3
So I haven't got any of the Arma 2 games. I've tried the demo of Arma 2 and it was fantastic but I'm wondering which one should I get, Arma 2 or Operation Arrowhead?
Or should I just buy the Combined Operations pack that includes both for $49.99?After watching this video, I'm like, no way! That's totally awesome.mhofeverGet OA at a bare minimum, but it's great just to own the entire thing (with combined operations) because then you'll have more access to the content of two games bundled into one.Edit:About the vid, I wouldn't try that unless you've got one monster of a freaking rig. Which brings me to another point, IMO, OA is better optimized, and thus runs better than the original ARMA2, so that's a better deal if your looking to turn the settings up a little. Still though, ARMA 2 and OA are really hard to run at high detail at playable framerates, so don't expect an easy ride for your GPU by any means.

Would be nice to do Co-Op missions since I haven't played it yet.I also noticed that using the Editor you can create epic-scaled battles. If this is true, then I will definitely get the whole package but have any of you tried meddling with the editor? QUOTE='hitman6actual'QUOTE='mhofever'So I haven't got any of the Arma 2 games.

It just crashes the whole damn server, which is a pain. So just a heads up if your'e planning to get just ARMA2. But many of the missions are CO-OP and about the only competitive mode largely played is warfare which is great fun if done right.
Arma 3 Should I Get Apex
As far as the editor goes. Well, you can play around in it (400 Hueys vs 400 Cobras and such) but if you wanna create anything close to what a realistic battle might be like, your going to need to do some serious, like I mean sometimes days, of scripting on just one mission. It's very rewarding in the end (although the AI never seems to behave quite right) if the mission you make turns out good, but to make something worth playing online it takes a lot of work to get it where it needs to be.

That's totally awesome.mhofeverI just bought Combined Ops yesterday and already favor Operation Arrowhead, but orignal seems great too, I just liked the scenario of OA more but I'dd say get Combined Ops.Also keep in mind that it takes a powerhouse to run, it's the best game graphics wise I've played.
