1. Launch Arma 2
- Let steam perform the first time setup
- Once the main menu is up you may exit
2. Launch Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead
- Let steam perform the first time setup
- Once the main menu is up you may exit
3. Launch Arma 2 Combined Ops
- Right click on Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead and there will be an option to launch Combined Ops
(What is Combined Ops? : Combined Ops will use content from both games, Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead)
4. In the main menu go to Profile and create a profile
- The default profile uses your pc name
5. Go to the options menu then select Video Options
- Arma 2 has 2 different resolutions, Interface Resolution and 3D Resolution
- Choose any resolution you want but make sure the Interface and 3D resolutions match
- By defualt the 3D Res is lower causing the game to look blurry
- If you need help with game performance or the advanced video settings feel free to ask
- Click Ok when you are done
6. Now go to the Controls
- Click the left arrow near the X Axis slider 3 times ( This will make the horizontal and vertical mouse movement equal)
- Disable mouse smoothing by moving the slider all the way to the left
- Click Ok when you are done
7. Now go to the Game settings
- Here you will want to turn the aiming dead zone off (Move the slider all the way to the left)
- Click the left arrow next to the Head Bob setting 2 times (The stock settings seem a bit to much, after adjustments the headbob is similar to BC2)
- Click Ok when you are done
The game movment should now feel more familiar.
Personally I like the dead aim on a bit but you will have to try it for yourself.
I highly recommend playing the training missions. Run Combined Ops, Go to Singleplayer/Training. Play the missiosn that beggin with "E".
ex: E01 Basic Movment
I do not recommend changing the default key bindings. This will make it difficult for other players to help if you have questions about what button does what.
