So I just bought the ARMA bundle on GOG.com. I haven't played since ARMA: Cold war assault was known as Operation Flashpoint (Old computer couldn't handle it.) What are good mods, campaigns (or even just websites to look for these things) to have? I've heard ARMA 1 was rubbish in comparison to ARMA II, the campaign is buggy, and that I can safely skip it and go to ARMA II. Thoughts? I will probably only play single-player. Being deaf makes team communication kind of hard...

for single player its pretty much your choice! The only "must have!" ones i'd recommend are:-

CBA, as a lot of mods require it = http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6231&highlight=CBA
STHUD, helps tons! = http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9936&highlight=SHACKTAC%2BHUD
TrueMods, cos the arma2 green is horrid! = http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12715


Heres "the" website for arma mods http://www.armaholic.com/

have fun

Thank you!

I'd just like to say that if anyone is considering buying this from GOG.com... DON'T. Their version is messed up because they use their own launcher. It took me two days, two installs and massive amounts of frustration to figure out that their launcher causes most of the problems you encounter by trying to add addons. Additionally their registry keys are wrong and include an extra backslash.. Any program that requires me to edit its registry values right out of the box, I have a problem with... Now, to go see if I can find some good campaigns and addons that enhance the single player.

I also purchased the Arma package from Gog. Using my experience with other games with mods and patches what I have done to install new addons like the the BW mod, CBA mod, ACE and some of the user-made maps Duala etc is to copy and paste the all the PBO and BISIGN files from whichever mod or addon/map into the Expansion/Addons folder of Arma II C.Ops main game directory for example and it works fine without crashes for me.


To avoid potential problems I have made a copy of my games on an external hard disk which I use for experimenting new mods/addons thus if I avoid screwing up my main installation. So far in 3 weeks installing new mods/addons I haven't experienced any issues.
