Deinstalling Arma2CO completely reinstalling, defragging - and doing both twice, costing 2-3 hours in all. manually installing an earlier version of Zeus AI, to get a warnign that I need another addon for it to function. download that, and getting a warning that this addon nowneeds another addon to function. Wasting half an hour to find it, only to find that it is not avalable. Tried Six, only to end up with a perforated game installation. Quit, delete, closed the box, game over. This has been a great day spent and wasted with messing around with a big, high heap of garbage. Worst modding experience since many, many, many years.
I'm done with this. The famous Falcon dance of the past never was anywhere close to being this bad.

Yeah, they really messed it up with ACE 2. Sure, there's the Six Updater that downloads everything for you, but to even get that set up is something a casual gamer probably will never know because, again, like with ACE 2, there's very little documentation and what there is, is usually for older Six Updater versions.

Play it separately or combine with original Arma 2: Combined Operations for ultimate military combat experience. Joint he massive online multiplayer battles with up to 50 players and hundreads of AI units "
What's different from BAF and PMC download versions?

I believe Reinforcements is BAF+PMC, just stand-alone. No idea why anyone would want to get that instead of Arrowhead + free versions or Arrowhead + DLCs.
