ArmA 2 free download

Post by Snake Man » 2011-06-09 18:19:52

ArmA 2 free download. No, we are not talking about warez, its official free download of ArmA 2 from BIS coming in June 2011.
Arma 2: Free (A2F) redefines the free-to-play battlefield with its truly unrivalled scale and gameplay possibilities. A2F serves up almost everything offered by the original Arma 2 - the '13th best PC game of all time', according to PC Gamer [1] - minus the campaign, HD graphics and support for user-made addons and mods.

Create your own custom-built scenarios or deploy a massive selection of missions and game-modes made by others. No micro-transactions, no hidden costs, just the same epic terrain and huge variety of equipment! This is Arma 2 Free - virtual war without the training wheels.

Arma 2: Free to download, free to play, free to share, free to host, free to create... free to play redefined!

NO CREDIT CARD OR SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA REQUIRED TO PLAY!

Free Military Simulation

An authentic and accurate battlefield simulation, including bullet ballistics & deflection, material penetration and more. Unique and comprehensive AI combat-system for large-scale battles.

Armory

A comprehensive range of 300+ weapons, units and fully-usable armed or unarmed vehicles across air, land and water classes.

Unique Multiplayer

A wide variety of multiplayer game-modes are possible - from a range of co-op and PvP modes, to total mayhem! Many of them are ready to deploy from the get-go, while others can be created using the built-in mission editor, or freely downloaded from the Internet. Deploy user-made scenarios and play together on the same premium game-servers, as long as they don't depend on additional content not available within the already huge armory of over 300 authentic modern weapons, units and vehicles.

Dedicated Servers

Software for dedicated servers is available for users to host freely wherever and however they like across Linux and Windows OS platforms. Multiplayer with large-scale maps for 50+ live players and hundreds of AI units. User communities can host any type of games they like, the way they like - private or public - with stock game modes or custom ones, for the maximum number of players their hardware and connection can support.

Creativity

Quick mission templates, a powerful, built-in, easy to use SP/MP mission editor, and advanced scripting.
Source.

So it seems that this is stock default ArmA 2 (no operation arrowhead), no addons/mods will work and textures (or maybe even models) are low quality, most likely this is the same as British Armed Forces and Private Military Contractors "lite" versions. I must say its quite interesting move from game company.

Maruk just posted this on the BIS wiki page of ArmA 2 Free:
===Activation / CD Keys===
Setup should automatically send you to the activation server where you can sign up via your account (Open Id, Live Id, Steam Id, Google Id or Facebook Id are supported) to obtain your unique activation code for the game that is entered during the setup. You can also visit the activation server at http://free.arma2.com/activation at any time later to receive the same key again if you sign up using the same account.
That is so lame, "free this! free that! download for free, FREE! <ExpectYouHaveToRegisterForActivation>" Buhahaha, excellent BIS, great job! :roll:
