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.
Really bad news :( at least it seems that they own a few titles, but despite that any title is valuable for us here in non-DRM zone
Woo! Team America wins again! Hopefully we can work to having all games available from ONLY one place right?

Luckily I've had these on GOG for awhile, just haven't gotten around to playing it.

So does that mean the multiplayer for the GOG version will be shut down or will there be other alternatives (that aren't Steam)? Is this kind of a smoke em while you got em situation? =/
I'd love to have these on GOG, but I can't even afford the sale price. I do own them on Steam already, but as many games as I can amass here is my goal, even if I have it elsewhere.

If someone were to gift them to me, as the sale price is a little under $9, I believe, I would be willing to pay them back with a gift of 1 game @ 9.99 or 2 @ 4.99, or whatever adds up to that price on the 16th, when I get paid next.

I hope saying that is allowed? If not, I apologize...
I've confirmed (by personally redeeming them on Steam) that the game codes under "My Serials" on the GOG bookshelf for ArmA2 Combined Operations will redeem on Steam and once both codes are redeemed there, you'll have "ArmA 2", "Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead" and the beta of the latter added to your Steam account.

ArmA Cold War Assault was just recently a freebie giveaway on Steam and I almost ignored it because I have the GOG version but decided I might as well take the freebie while it was there. Doesn't look like there is any option at the moment for ArmA Gold however. Might have to play these games through VPN tunnels if they don't gain other options, or for people who avoid Steam at all costs.

Excellent promo, already have them all from the Be My Player 2/Valentine promo, but now is a great time for anyone who wants them to grab 'em cheap before they're gone. Hate to see them get pulled, but at least this time we get a fair warning and nice promo.

Thank you for this information.

I don't think there's anything wrong with such a proposal, but you may have better luck if you make a post about it in the Classifieds thread, which is dedicated to things like that.

And to think I were considering buying Arma 3 from Steam with a re-buy in mind on GOG when it would get released.
Well... Fuck Bohemia. Now I won't buy/get Arma 3 even if they beg to put it in my hands for free.
@Bohemia Stick it in your anus!

Just spend my last cash on Arma 2, while it's still on GOG. Thanks for the opportunity GOG!

Ah, I did not notice that either. I need to get that too soon...
If I buy this as a gift, but the party I am gifting to does not redeem this code for 1 month or so, will the gift code become invalid?
