ARMA 2 Free and Arma 2 Comparison

[AQColors]

wtf i got to download it and it takes me to some take on helicopters game??

[LLAYOBOY]

Ok ok, i Havnt played this yet and im gonna get it, i dont understand the "multiplayer" is everyone a real player or is one team full of ai's?

[BlindBitsProductions]

@LLAYOBOY both

[AussieCR3W]

So arma 2 free is just lower graphics? AWESOME!

[ordepolbap]

@AussieCR3W and no single player but to tell you the truth I've been playing the arma series almost religiously for over a year now and I never feel like I played the same thing twice

[DalleDayul]

where do i download this game???

[oneshot2nFACE]

Looks good Man!!!! Hit my channel up i got alot of BF3 on it.

[thespaceboon101]

i dont need good graphics as long as i can play a fun game

[HDGamingForYou]

@thespaceboon101 what you think about mods better multiplayer experience and way bigger communtiy's.

[TheDude12345672]

i hate tht there's only two maps

[SilverStar612]

@TheDude12345672 Yup only 2 maps for arma2 free if u get arma2: combined operations you get way more than 1

[Heaney5551]

@TheDude12345672

There are 6 in Arma 2: Combined Operations.

Also, you have to realise that they're like 20km x 20km...

[MinecraftTankers]

@dirtybongtokes It's funny how dumbasses like you think using common sense is being a nerd. Well it's called not being a dumbass derpa

[spearmantristan]

@MinecraftTankers is right your just stupid

[1Slivka]

Whenever I go to arma website it redirects me to "take on" game site.

How can I fix this?

[bf2lover42]

As a big fan of BF 1942, BF: Vietnam, BF2 and BF 2142 I must say I hated BF3 because it tried to compete with MW and instead of just proving it is a superior franchise, it just sunk to MW level.

[Daferpare]

@bf2lover42 mw3 sucked so bad

[bf2lover42]

@Daferpare They sure as hell don't bother fixing a broken game, they just repackage it with new guns and maps.

There are still issues with spawns, with lag compensation, with akimbo sub machine-guns, with glitches and "peak-shooting", shotguns being underpowered and unbalanced, etc...

I can't understand how they can charge 60-70€ (depending on the country) and more 50 bucks for Elite for a broken game.

[Daferpare]

@bf2lover42 exactly why i hate it, ill never buy a cod again

[voldagar]

@bf2lover42 elite is 5 dollars... and ALOT of stuff in it is free

[bf2lover42]

@voldagar No, I was solely talking about the annual subscription fee. The one that gives access to the new content and etc. The free version doesn't bother me.

What matters is that Activision is charging full price for a game that still features a lot of mistakes from the past games and creates new problems within the gameplay itself.

But they also charge you 50 bucks for content that used to be free because they know that after a year you will be playing a new CoD.

[fuckedyourmom420]

i wana cry my pc cant handle this game im still try it regardless i love game with teamwork and as for bf3 it proved me wrong so i came here.

[Creator245]

not soo big change on the graphics....

[Creator245]

umm, the only difference I see is the lagg...

[rynog55]

@Creator245 its the resolution of the textures, so it doesnt look like complete shit lol

[zopa5]

arma 2 morel lagg

[MinecraftTankers]

Everyone who is trashing battle field 3 here if 1. A 10 Year Old Cod Fanboy 2. Never Tried The Game And Just Thinks It Is bad. 3. Just because you got trashed talk and you can't keep your mouth shut. I am a battle field player cod player and all around game player and its only a opinion in the end so don't be a ass in the end.

[dragonxanimation]

@MinecraftTankers no your a fanboy you think every one is a cod player just because they dont like the game. your a newb bf player its all bandwagon you just like it because every one else is playing it. im a battlefield player and i have been since 2004 bf3 is way overrated,

[MinecraftTankers]

@dragonxanimation im a fanboy because I like all games for the gameplay, everyone has there own opinion and I said that wrong most people who trash battle field are cod fanboys and if you have ever HEARD OF THE INTERNET then you would know that that is true. Also how am I a fan boy if I like more games how am I a fanboy if I have my opinion on what I like? Just because I like a game over another does not mean im a fanboy you asshole, do you know what a fanboy is? or do you think you know.

[voldagar]

@MinecraftTankers LOL there are wayyyyyy more bf3 fanboys that are trashing cod

[skyhawk154]

@voldagar the thing is....the bf3 fanboys are right. lol

[voldagar]

@skyhawk154 bf3 fanboy...

[dirtybongtokes]

@MinecraftTankers fucking nerd

[bayonet262]

@MinecraftTankers you sound like a queer

[MinecraftTankers]

@bayonet262 Don't Feed The Trolls. You are very hungry. Im going to go upload more videos now because I actually do stuff on youtube instead of being that be a troll and is not jealous of other peoples success, and by success I mean getting views and achieving my goals :D. KThxBai ;) <3 Trolls They are soooo funny.

[bayonet262]

@MinecraftTankers no honestly you sound like the biggest nerd. Instead of uploading new videos why dont you get some friends...

[MinecraftTankers]

@bayonet262 I have friends in RL. I skateboard I can't do what I like in the winter? You know uploading is the easiest part? Recording is the second easiest. Rendering is just easy. Recording I spend 30 min Rendering. I dont have to do anything just go do what ever I want Uploading, no time wasted So I do have a life you just dont know how my system works. This is my hobbie Proud of what i do You Collect War stuff I upload. Treat ppl the way you want to be treated sorry if i made you mad :(

[CT2kX]

@MinecraftTankers success by getting views? not one of your videos has over 200 views O.o

[MinecraftTankers]

@CT2kX ? i have a video over 46 thousand you dumbass , and success for me as in working hard and getting people to like my videos. You must not know what small goals are and staying to task what you do. Your trying to fight back with every peice of information you can find that I said was wrong but in the end you know that everything else I said could not be questioned. Success can be a lot of things. Dont be an asshole calling people things, no one wants to hear you being a dick.

[CT2kX]

@MinecraftTankers Don't lie, the most views you have on a single video is just under eight hundred; I checked all your videos. Adding all your videos together doesn't count! Success is not having a few thousand people watch a video on youtube. If your goal is to only do that then you need to set yourself higher goals. I wasn't calling you anything at all, it was in fact you insulting me by calling me a dick.

[Osvath97]

@MinecraftTankers Its called battflied.

[highflyer621]

@Osvath97 no dumbass its called Battlefield not Battflied

[Osvath97]

@highflyer621 Read my other comment fuckface. I am not a dumbass becouse I slippt on my keyboard.

[highflyer621]

@Osvath97 lol you spelled because wrong to proving again you are a dumbass

[Osvath97]

@highflyer621 No, your the dumbass who doesn't understand the logical difference of mental capabilities and slipping on the keyboard. Fucking idiot. Go and play your Call of Duty.

[highflyer621]

@Osvath97 im just joking calm down i dont really know why u think im a cod player but i hate that game Battlefield and Medal of Honor are the games i play

[Osvath97]

@highflyer621 1. Becouse its really easy too know if someone is joking or not through the internet. 2. Becouse you behaved a like a fucking idiot.

[Osvath97]

@MinecraftTankers I fail ahhaha, I mean Battlefield.

[MexerStuff]

@MinecraftTankers a ass ? a opinion ? what the fuck

[Carnosaurus1337]

@TheMinecrafting247  You can't see the difference in the textures?

[TheMinecrafting247]

i actually see no difference

[reredrumuoy]

@TheMinecrafting247 uhmmm look at the interior of the helicopter

hint: the ceiling , uniforms walls etc

[TheMinecrafting247]

1:00



[TheDAWinz]

@redded8552 your full of shit. As a arma2 fanboy, the bf community has it right

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz you mean the bf3 community? bullshit. i have been a bf fan since bf2 and all these little kids come in pretending like they know everything and then they call it a simulator? that is nothing compared to what they really do in the military.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation No, BF3 community excluded due to the influx of cod players.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz cod fans? no they are bad company 2 fans and noobs to that genre. its the one who have never played a single bf game or the ones who never played bf2. i hate them. and i think he meant the ones on youtube that talk shit about every one and everything for no fucking reason

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation Who are cod fans going bf fans....

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz its not the cod fans. being a fan of a different game doesn't change shit. and its all on PC which has about 90% less cod fans. so many fucking annoying bf3 trolls

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation Well get used to it. Battlefield 3 is the superior FPS game in that genre. Arma is the Superior MILSIM.

BF>FPS

Arma>MILSIM

So many fucking people like you.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz you mean

BF2>fps?

so many newbies like you know nothing about bf....

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation I played bf 1942 on its release date of sept 11 2002....

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz look who can google crap.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation Look who actually played it <--- me.. My favorite map was Dunkirk.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz same here. but what does that have to do with the discussion?

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation You said i googled it. I didn't. I pre ordered 1942.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz before that.... why are you talking about 1942

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation to show i am one of the oldest battlefield fans, and believe that the BF> all other FPS's out there

Arma> All other milsims

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz

skyrim acr or batman arkham city> all other games

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation You cant compare them to all other games

Skyrim>RPGs but KOTOR

Batman arkham city was terrible

BF3> FPS

Arma>Milsims

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz do you just copy what others say? arkham city is the best third person game out there.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation No i don't, i formulate my own opinions. how so? Arkham city consists of punching, jumping off a building with your cape drawn, and more punching....

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz battlefield consist of shooting shooting aiming and more shooting.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation and flying and bombing and reviving and repairing and capping and arming and maving and more.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz yeah you go into more detail. BAC has assassinating fighting flying shooting throwing driving free roam great story being stealthy solving puzzles and more

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation Basically Battlefield 3.....

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz no bf3 is worse

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation wow your a fanboy. You cannot compare these games. BF3> Arkham city

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz you can compare any game which is more fun batman arkham city which do i enjoy more batman arkham city which got a 10/10 batman arkham city which has the most fake fans, most annoying fans and most overrated game battlefield 3.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation No, im not a fake fan, and neither are any people i know who play bf3. Arkham city blows. Nuff said.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz you blow you most likely don't have it since its just "punch punch jump off buildings punch" nuff said arkham city is better than bf3. it earned that 10/10 unlike bf3 which just got a 9 because of its name

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation You my dear friend blow. arkham city deserves a 0/10.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz is that so? then bf3 deserves a 0/10 too. you don't even have arkham city idiot.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation yes i do. i beat it. it sucked

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz lies.... bf3 overrated crap.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation so is arkham city.

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz its underrated. bf3 best fps? hell no. everyone thinks its so good just because it has the name BF3 without even thinking =.=

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation no, anyway FOS RO DAH

[dragonxanimation]

@TheDAWinz take an arrow to the ass.

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation and then i drink my own pee

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation I played the wake island beta....

[TheDAWinz]

@dragonxanimation i played desert combat mod...

[Vartrex5]

Im the only one whos starting to hate battlefield fans?

[reded8552]

@Vartrex5 no. they think they're better then everyone else and thinks everyone who hates BF are "immature" fanboys, when right now, the BF fankids are actually more immature, so don't get me started about the bullshit they pull.

[Mitchhhful]

@Vartrex5 yep...

[dragonxanimation]

@Mitchhhful nope...

[HKS134]

@Vartrex5 maybe bcuz ur retARDED

[reded8552]

@Vartrex5 no.

[Qillaq91]

i have Arma 2 so last update is great *on stream*

[kinghitmanlane]

1:02 I love how the black guy turns white XD

[jsboyYAug]

A bit color changes...but for the rest I can't see a lot of difference...

[krznoo]

Woaw man this was boring.. the game suck hahaahahahaha

[CrASYmUZIk]

This game reminds me a lot of bf... Maybe I will buy bf3 tomorrow

[TheSUBGAMER]

game developers=retarded fags

what happend to colors fags,it is a war game not color blind game

[VenatorAcclamator]

arma 2 is a very rare find in retail so arma 2 free is a good supplement and in a way a really good demo

[Timster480]

do you honestly think this is a different game? it's just the free version and paid version.....

[JROD8796]

do mods work on the free version>

[jussipejulliano]

@JROD8796 Addons = Nope

Mission scripting = yes

Editor = yes

[Strongone112]

Well they made a good step by taking the graphics a lil bit down.. It gives the older pc's a chance to run the game.. Pretty good decision i say

[Daniels1999]

I get it -the nigger turned white in arma 2 at 1:04

[lilartist10]

@Daniels1999 Wtf ?  you just sick narrow minded bastard !

[JrsRage]

@Kevinelevn1 Ahh so an 3,000 dollar Asus must be shit, since its basically all gamers shit into it?

[CheezitBurrito]

@JrsRage lol I have that computer, it's fucking BEAST!

[TacticalAkimbock]

i can run arma 2 free whit pixel shader 2.0?

[Strongone112]

@TacticalAkimbock no it requires 3.0 minimum to run

[MrAVENGER1001]

still,a game's a game. im going to get the free version cuz im low on cash

[guitarsly111]

@MrAVENGER1001 its not the same, not the same graphics, you can't play on the main servers etc. most vehicles are unplayable..... if you can, get the game! :)

[MegaGTAzocker]

i will not buy arma 2...

great game, but i wait for arma 3 :D

[JrsRage]

Wow.. why would you remove graphics on a shooters game? ain't that the whole point? to actually make it as realistic and easier to spot atleast someone?

[3choBlaster]

@JrsRage Maybe to improve performance on older pc's ... I wonder if I can run it lol .. My laptop could run MA2 at highest graphics without AA but couldn't handle some shitty free shooter called AvA, WTF?

[JrsRage]

@3choBlaster DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!

It lags like a piece of shit on a flat map without inviromental areas. The game is like 2011 Runescape 3D models with the 2001 graphics on it.

Intro lags like shit, an its models are fucking terrible.

[MegaGTAzocker]

@JrsRage arma 2 is a great game -.-

[HardcoreBassPlaya]

@JrsRage Thats the cost of it being free : /

[TF2playerwhohateCOD]

i dont understand,why the ARMA 2 community dosn't care it gets a free version while 95% of the TF2 community cry that it became F2P while they still got benifets

[Ir0nF1st924]

@TF2playerwhohateCOD because the free version only has 2 maps, 1 singleplayer mission, and multiplayer. there is a level creator which will suit anybody's playstyle because you create the scenario from the ground up. and the graphics are toned down. the full game has a full campaign, a shooting range, coop, multiplayer, a level creator with tons more shit to put in, lots of maps, mods, L33T GR4PH1CZ and a strong tactic oriented fanbase. so you really lose a lot in in the free version

[TF2playerwhohateCOD]

@Ir0nF1st924

well you do lose the meaning of TF2 if your F2P,but what you just said makes sence

[bendu49100]

@Ir0nF1st924 I agree, this free should not be considered like a F2P like TF2; wich is a full game, but like a demo of ArmA II, BTW, I played the free with friends and now I will buy ArmA II as it's " demo " is awesome.

[BrainSqueezeGods]

is it possible to add addons for arma 2 free

[LuigiKat11]

@BrainSqueezeGods Nope

[MegaGTAzocker]

@BrainSqueezeGods no

[PhenomenalHeadShot]

not too too big of a difference.

[NuCl3aRXAce]

can i play this with: Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual Core processor 6000+ 3.00 GHz (RAM) 3.00 GB 32-bit operating system

[ht448]

does te free one have lower FPS? becose i get hell lag but i play Crysis 2 Maxed At like 80-100Fps

[LLLolzor43]

If is Way way way slow like it was for me try this.

Go to Options

Go to vid options and change the preference to very low(it'll still look ok)

Then go back to game options and lower head bob

[kakka626]

tell me why my freakin screen shakes so god damn much when i walk or run, yours just shakes a little bit!

[Fredde1Widde]

@kakka626 You can change it in "game options", as "head bob", you can change the amount of shakiness on that slider.

[7249xxl]

im just downloading the free version and im running on a hp desktop 8 gb ram quad cor 37 ghz proccesor al its fine to me as long i dont have lag and dont get an ingame error message then i wil buy the full version

[MasterLittica]

As long as the Free game does not cut down the Draw Distence im fine, if i really get into the game i can always get the Full one

[MagnaSonic3000]

Who the hell cares about graphics? As if you'd want your pc to lag.

[MakoRuu]

Dude. Who cares if it doesn't "Look as good." Aside from losing mods and shit, the game is STILL epic. Fuck, I still play the original half life from time to time. Graphics are over rated, it's all about game play, and story.

[Cofa1982]

2:42 epic manuver for landing :)

[jcstay123]

I love the fact the the game is free. I played it and bought the retail version just support them and now I have Arma2 OA and Reinforcements and cant wait for Arma 3. In my opinion the series is one the best games ever maid

[11kyzak11]

If your an ARMA fan whos got the actual game... then you'll reply like this when someone asks should I buy ARMA 2... FUCK THAT SHIT!!! GET ARMA 2 OPERATION ARROWHEAD. FIXES ALL THE BUGS AND INCLUDES A WHOLE LOTTA OTHER IMPORTANT SHIT THAT YOU COULDNT EVEN THINK OF.

[ArticHound]

so it means to have a HD graphic in arma 2 free i need to have the original?

[jeffhardyfanallway]

Its a good game either way

[generaldeejee]

can you play with people with the paid game in mulitplayer or is multiplayer only with the arma 2 free players

[11kyzak11]

@generaldeejee Is that some sort of a fucking joke...? cause that has to be the most idiotic question ever? you guys can play the single player if you've got a friend who has the actual game. all he needs to do is hosy a game and make the mission one from the single player. still. I wanna play EW with a mate but i cant find that mission anywhere in my files for multiplayer. EW is best Single-Player mission there is. Imagine both of you in that Apache owning everyone in. then living in Fallout..

[generaldeejee]

@11kyzak11 no I was serious I wondered if the ARMA II servers allowed both free and retail players or if they had both separate servers to play on. I've only downloaded it so far but not yet installed so I'm new to arma, but I played a lot of OPF

[lorenzosaintsrow2]

Arma 2 free isn't only multiplayer?????

[lorenzosaintsrow2]

Arma 2 free isn't only multiplayer????

[lorenzosaintsrow2]

Arma 2 free isn't only multiplayer????

[MrLuismania]

hey im playin on a laptop how do i make run faster and better on arma 2 free

[mspeter97]

I'll be a free player!looks cool

[Tomthetechy28]

It can't just be better Texture maps, It has to be worth £14.99 for more than that.

[wyatt1daniel]

arma 2 free looks alot better

[WWWBlacKBirDWWW]

@wyatt1daniel are you blind?

[wyatt1daniel]

@WWWBlacKBirDWWW yes and you?

[WWWBlacKBirDWWW]

@wyatt1daniel im not blind and i can see that the paid arma 2 has way better textures

[wyatt1daniel]

@WWWBlacKBirDWWW good for you all i said in arma 2 free it loks better in arma 2 the helicpter glichted out dont go cry over about the comment fag

[WWWBlacKBirDWWW]

@wyatt1daniel the helicopter did NOT glitch in both versions. evidence please?

[wyatt1daniel]

@WWWBlacKBirDWWW if you look CLOSLEY in arma 2 the chopper rudder/back part was moving rapidly up and down EVDENCE PLEASE?

[WWWBlacKBirDWWW]

@wyatt1daniel ahem if you mean the whole helicopter shaking thats just the computer controlled ai at work, thus, the rudders moving up and down controlling the helicopter

[WWWBlacKBirDWWW]

@wyatt1daniel ahem...the helicopter is shaking because its controlled by computer controlled ai, which is not very optimized in both versions, so the rudder is shaking because the ai is controlling it, it is also caused by lag because the author put all the settings max, no lag in arma 2 free because of its shitty textures compared to arma 2, so if you have a good computer the glitch wont happen.

[wyatt1daniel]

@WWWBlacKBirDWWW im tired of people just arguing with me becuase i leave a comment  go hack at some one else for a while

[wyatt1daniel]

@WWWBlacKBirDWWW ahem i dont care and stop being a dick you started this conversion

[mafiaman109]

i thought that the only things different were no campaign and worse graphics?

i can't find the chinook on the free version, is it only on the real version?

[djjosh34445]

@mafiaman109 yup but operation arrowhead
