Arma II Operation Arrowhead mod advice

Stealhead · 11-22-12, 01:46 PM

Hey guys I just picked up Arma II OA from Steam (on sale) anyway while I wait for it to down load I am lookinf for some good mods.

I do not have base Arma II so I am not looking for DayZ.

What I am after would be weapons mods I like my guns.I am looking for mods that add in weapons Like the FN FAL for example or the SCAR weapons things like this any weapons go AKs,M16s what ever the more the merrier.I would also be interested in any general "must have" type mods that improve the base game.

Also I have Arma and there is a mod that allows you to select weapons when ever you want to on the fly I used that alot messing around in Arma(playing single player). Is there anything similar for Arma II?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You need to visit armaholic.com, you'll find everything you need and much more.

I know about Armaholic I just wanted to be a bit lazy.

Really I just wanted to get some recommendations.

Well I found the mods that I like for Arma II OA.

Now I have a new question/possible problem.

I purchased Arma II OA first and now I have Arma II installed yet I see no combined operations launch ability.Is something wrong or must you buy a specific copy of Arma II to get Combined Operations?

It seems as though merely having both Arma II and OA should allow you to have Combined Operations if they are the same source in my case Steam.

Now I have more issues.

It seems that the mod installing method that is used with OA does not work with Arma II

.

I am making the @modname with the addons folder inside with the PBOs and then adding in the line in the launch line but nothing shows up in Arma II.

EDIT:the mods did not work because I am dumb I was copy pasting right from my OA files and of course they wont work with Arma II.Found the Arma II versions of what I need.

EDIT AGAIN MORON

: All works as it should now Combined OPs and all now I dont need the ARMA II specific mods.
