I have no idea what all of the extra addons include, but am wondering whether it is worth it to shell out the $ or just go with ArmaII and Op. Arrowhead only.

Opinions?
The Brit one for Arma2 is good: Brit infantry in both DPM and Desert cammo, lots of new weapons, a new (v. small) map, new vehicles (landrover, Jackal, Warrior. Maybe more but I can't remember). PMC is a similar deal, except with civilian security rather than soldiers. Can't remember what new vehicles it came with.

Cold War Assault it, iirc, the rebranded, original Op Flashpoint. Don't have it but I imagine it contains both the expansion packs and ArmA gold is the first ArmA title plus the Queens Gambit expansion.

I'm guessing all the older titles are patched up to current standards but I don't know whether any work has been done to them with regards to new content.

If it was me, I'd get the Op Arrowhead bundle with the 'Reinforcements' add-on (which adds the Brits and the PMC) the full bundle there is nice, but $60 is probably more than I want to spend considering I'd probably play each of the two older games once out of curiosity and nostalgia. It's not a bad deal, though.
