well,I have only installed Arma2:Operation Arrowhead,how could I install Arma2:CO?I installed Arma2:OA with individual DVD .Is there anyway convinient ?

Read this. You need Arma2 and Arma2 Operation Arrowhead installed and properly combined to Combined Operations before you can install and play PR.

BAF is also recommended but not necessary.

If you have OA you need to buy Arma2 and reinstall it to be able to combine it properly.

Why is BAF needed? The content is claimed to be custom PR content.
I guess its more misleading information by the devs.

Also, on a unrelated note. Why are the devs cutting the biggest market ( Arma 2 free + Arrow head ) crowd out of the potential player base?
DayZ making more players go that route then there are CO or original owners.

Its something the devs should look at before that crowd throws arma 2 in the dust bin.
Also running a ARG copy works to create a CO link with legitimate OA
^But I cannot and will not recommend that method to anyone as the developers need their money

Yes, we love to mislead people. We also love to install hidden cameras in people's bedrooms and observe them while they sleep.

BAF is recommended because we currently have the BAF Jackal in some missions. Without BAF it has a low-res texture. If that doesn't bother you, you don't need BAF.

A2:F cannot be used on a server running anything other than A2:F or just pure A2, see http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/A..._distributions you can also see that it doesn't support user mods just a bit further down or on the A2:F official website Arma 2 free - Arma 2 Official Website

Nice one Deadfast


Now we've educated NuclearBanane on the difference between "recommended" and "needed" we'll close this thread. It was only supposed to be informational anyway, but not for explaining English verbs.
