ARMA II -80% $7.99 USD, ±R54


About the Game

Building on 10 years of constant engine development, ARMA II boasts the most realistic combat environment in the world. It models real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration, features a realtime day/night cycle and dynamic wind, weather and environmental effects. The simulation of a combat environment is so effective, the engine forms the basis for training simulators used by real armies the world over.

Although ARMA II is set in the fictional ex-soviet state of 'Chernarus' the gameworld is actually a 225 square kilometer chunk of the real world! ARMA II's highly detailed landscape is a meticulous facsimile of real terrain, modeled using extensive geographical data. This recreated region is brought to life with spectacular environmental effects and populated with dynamic civilian settlements and wildlife. Wild animals roam the atmospheric forests while the people of Chernarus try to live out their lives among the war-torn streets.

The 27th U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit have been deployed to the former soviet country of Chernarus in this third installment in the series of award winning PC war simulators from Bohemia Interactive, creators of Operation Flashpoint*: Cold War Crisis and ARMA: Combat Operations.

Force Reconnaissance Team “Razor” are among the first to fight. This elite five-man team are about to fall down the rabbit hole, trapped in a war not only for control of the country, but the hearts and minds of its people. With the might of the USMC offshore and the Russians anxiously watching from the north, the stakes couldn't be higher. The fate of Chernarus is balanced on a razor's edge...

I wonder how difficult it would be to create a webapp or something to grab specials in a certain format from the steampowered site and post it here... hmm. (plus e-mail it to me as they come out :P)

Will improve the manual process don't you think.

can't be so hard, but 'crawlers' aren't always easy to write. there is always the chance of someone having done it already. quite silly that steam doesn't support this :(

hmm. Still too pricey for DA.

Can get Dragon Age rather cheaply at BT-Games etc on the classic series and DAII... yeah.. should be a bigger discount I think.

Read what I've replied ?

Side note, it's still better to get the UK import of DOA1 Ultimate via take2 for about ±R260 as it includes all the dlc + expansion.

If you are looking for the steam version, you have to live in the US. There is always the RSA EDM one for lekker R400. You can thank EA RSA for this as they've decided that pc ultimate edition is digital download only and fuck the fans.

I think I found out the reason. It seems ea wants a monopoly on the ultimate edition for SA.

You can buy it for R400 from the ea SA store: http://eastore.ea.com/store/eara/en_ZA/DisplayProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.1220300/productID.208591800
