A farewell to arms promo!

The Arma Series, that is Arma Gold Edition, Arma: Cold War Assault, and Arma 2: Combined Operations (complete with the Operation Arrowhead expansion), providing the ultimate mod-enabled first person-perspective military simulation experience, is available up to 80% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.17 for the whole set of three games, for the next 72 hours.

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/arma_farewell_complete_040614][/url]War has always been, and probably always will be, one of the predominant themes in computer games. From 8-bit systems to contemporary monster gaming rigs you'll have simulators, strategy games, and war-inspired arcade titles. But there's only one type of game that could let you really see war as a first-hand gritty and immersive experience. An FPS, first person perspective shooter. Again, there are many levels of realism throughout the genre. Some of the war FPS' tend to focus on storytelling, using heavy scripting to deliver a cinematic experience. Others don't try to hide the fact, that the war you're seeing isn't real and that the main goal is to have fun while playing. And there's the Arma Series.

Arma Series is a game series that will make you feel like an actual combatant on one of the modern-day military missions. A game that will amaze you with its level of realism in recreating actual weapons, military gear, ballistics, and battlefield conditions. A game that will challenge you in ways no other wargame ever could. Dropping you in the middle of a fictional conflict, that feels more real than most things you see on the news, it proves to be the ultimate modern-day military simulation that you can play outside of actual military VR training facilities. Arma 2: Combined Operations allows for massive multiplayer matches that can host up to 50 players simultaneously, and the Operation Arrowhead expansion that, on top of adding another campaign to the game, provides extensive mod compatibility, this is the FPP wargame you want to get, if you mean business.

On top of that, Arma 2: Combined Operations is required to run DayZ, the most popular game modification since the infamous Hot Coffe. What? You don't know what DayZ is? Don't fret--we've got you covered.

Do you think you can handle real virtual warfare? Find out if you really know which side of the assault rifle you should point at the enemies in the complete Arma Series, for only $8.17 on GOG.com. The special promo lasts until Saturday, June 7, at 9:59AM GMT. Games also available separately with lower discount rate. The games already owned on GOG.com count towards the higher discount.

Important note: This is a last chance promo, as Arma Gold Edition, Arma: Cold War Assault, and Arma 2: Combined Operations will be removed from sales on GOG.com on June 22, along with the remaining Bohemia Interactive title: Original War. If you buy (or have already bought) any of these games, they will remain on your account "shelf", so you'll be still able to access and download them.
Bummer, hopefully conditions change in the future and Bohemia reconsiders bringing some of their games to GOG sometime. They've definitely got a number of titles I'd buy if they were available on GOG.com. I do already own all of the ArmA titles from GOG, and I have Original War on my wishlist but probably will end up missing out on that one when it's removed.

I feel that GOG's popularity is going to increase over time as they continue to grow both the catalogue and as a company, and that Galaxy will help to fuel that growth and attract both more users and more developers. Hopefully we'll see more companies join the GOG brand in the future as a result, and also see the return of some companies and/or games that used to be here and left at some point such as the Bohemia titles and various others.

The crazy thing is if it's true Original War is 99 cents on Steam, I'd rather pay $2.99 or less for it on GOG but wont have that opportunity so I probably just wont buy it at all any time soon. If/when it returns here though I'll grab it though. :)

Boilpoint: Original War 99 cents throughout whole Steam Summer sale. Seems almost vindictive.
Yeah. It feels like... you know... a whole world error in calculating The Witcher 3's discount percentage just after a juicy pre-order is up on the competitior's main page. Not that I would imply anything with that, mind me...

Huh, all 3 Arma games and Original War are now missing from my "shelf" - what is happening? I thought they will stay on our shelves/accounts:

The games have been removed from sale. Don't fret though, it's a bug that occurs when games are removed from sale. Write to support and you'll get them back.
It seems fixed now :)
