Giveaway: ARMA II Operation Arrowhead

Congrats to Phusius our winner!

Thanks to theonedub's recent mass-giveaway, many have been blessed with free games. Without further adieu, we bring the next game:



As to the DayZ mod available, please visit the very good info in TPU's DayZ Clubhouse, as well as in the DayZ Mod Forums that erocker pointed me to. It explains what's needed and how-to info.
General consensus is that ARMA II OAH runs DayZ with the ARMA II demo but with poor textures and possible hiccups. It is strongly recommended that the full ARMA II game be installed.

To enter: Post what about this game appeals to you. The winner is chosen randomly via TPU's very own FordGT90Concept's Random Line Pick utility!

Requirements: TPU join date of May 2012 or earlier, post count of 50, and must not own the game, which will be sent directly via Steam. Past winners (of my giveaways) will not be entered, sorry

Important: After the winner is announced and PM'd, they have 48hrs to get in contact with me. If I do not receive a PM in return or contact of any kind within the 48hrs, I will do a redrawing and a new winner will be selected.

Close Date: Saturday the 11th, 11:59pm EST

The Winners Circle


A large THANK YOU goes out to all those who have been committed to giving back to the TPU community; we see great examples of members mentioned even in this thread, plus many many more!

My entry: What interests me about this game is the more realistic combat, I am a CoD yearly type guy, and would very much like to give a more large scale game like this a try since it gets such rave reviews. I do not own any of these ARMA games, and zombies do not interest me so I will be playing this for the standalone expansion campaign and official multiplayer only. If this is not ok with you, feel free to remove my entry. Otherwise, I hope I win! xD

I'd love to check out the hype around DayZ.
DayZ sounds like Fallout on hardcore mode.

DayZ! I've wanted to play the game since the DayZ thread was made!

I've contemplated getting the game so many times, but the price never felt right. Plus I've never actually tried DayZ so I don't know if the price justifies the mod. I just love zombie games.

I would absolutely love to get this game

My parents do not allow me to use their credit cards and ARMA II games aren't in any game stores I've went to, apparently they don't sell them anymore

I would love to play some Day Z with my friends and would love to play some with fellow TPU members It would be really awesome if I could get this ^_^ since I can't really find it in stores D:
