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!

Main Features

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.

Free Armory

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

Free 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.

Free 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.

Free Creativity

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

too many free to play games >_< My crappy internet is struggling downloading it all! But I will try this :)
 
Looks like I'm going to re-download this game. I never tried online though, but its a very good simulator nontheless.
 
i like the ArmA games but i don't like the setting for this one, that's why i have operation arrowhead : D might try it out.

How different is Arrowhead? I just started getting back into Arma 2 again. Forgot how awesome it is : ) Now I just gotta find some folks to play with. Though the PC Gamer Steam group hosts games quite often, so I may try to jump into some of those and give it a whirl.

I'm hoping Steam puts Op Arrowhead on sale during this Summer Camp sale. Would you call it a must have for those who enjoyed Arma 2?
 
Looks kind of like Battleground Europe, anyone play that? If you have, is it like that?

well i enjoy the setting its kind of the same type of gameplay. i like desert warfare, cause well its happening now, so thats why i prefer it haha.
 
I'm in the VTOL section of Boot Camp, getting mad at the over sensitivity of the A and D keys for rolling. I have to use the mouse for rolling and W/S for pitching...
 
Trust me, if you like the free version of Arma2, you're going to LOVE the paid version. The mod community backing it is absolutely ginormous and there are plenty of realism clans/units to join
