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.

simon_vd: 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.

Just spend my last cash on Arma 2, while it's still on GOG. Thanks for the opportunity GOG!
@Bohemia Stick it in your anus!
Well Bohemia just got 70% worth of your purchase...

Gnostic: 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?
Nope, GOG codes never become invalid . At least, I never heard of something like that happening .

True, but this is a pretty borderline case. I would ask the blues.

Depends on the view.
I just gave 30% (20?) to GOG... and proud of it.

This did happen with the Fallout Giveaway, after a short time they had to expire, but they were not paid codes, they were given away free by GOG, so there may be a difference.

yes, and now they have to put the money in their anus.

but do we know whether that's where they like to keep it or not? that's a bit of a hole in your plan if so.

No, I remember someone doing a giveaway for a game after it was pulled, and the code worked .

Zacron:
Yeah, I believe that was a different situation. Everyone and their dog were slopping in for freebies when that happened. I can't quite remember the specifics, but the point is GOG doesn't try to cheat anyone out of their money.

My GF finally tried to redeem the Fallout Codes and they were expired, so it has at least happened once.
Hopefully the ARMA games will be appearing on the GameRanger list of supported games in the near future.

I think when they announced the end of FO here they somewhere wrote about a limited time for gift codes working. But I can't find it. When in doubt, I'd ask one of the blues, too.

The difference is that that was a giveaway, so no money was involved, at least, not on our part.

I know, I meant for bought games, not the ones given away freely .

Fallout Codes were free no?
I think they said that they won't work after time or something.
