No. 1 target for me. Will start saving money to fund this purchase. Although disappointed there's no DRM free version, but i understand their decision after serious consideration.

Anybody here already bought it? Is it playable?

The game pretty optimized for an alpha. I guess it's because they haven't included all the latest advance graphical setting yet. My 6 years old machine could only ran at standard settings for consistent frame rate. But i don't care since it's still look amazing. Just missing couple of advance lighting and detailed texture.

I still have trouble with Cold War Assault drawing distance, because the game even after 10 years wasn't properly scaled.

Anyway, in my opinion the extras for Deluxe Edition is rather disappointing. High chance most of ArmA fans already own at least a copy of the original Operation Flashpoint / Cold War Assault game. Beside, it's available everywhere since 2 years ago; bundled in ArmA X and already included in major sales before. So that's -1 for me. Which left with only Digital Map, Soundtrack and Tactical Guide which is rather underwhelming apart from the soundtrack. I don't know about the guide but i rather learn the game myself. As for the maps i think it's nice but the thing is it's just a digital copy, although you can print it by yourself it just isn't same as the hard copy.

Maybe the point of this Deluxe Edition is another way to support the devs more than usual. But as far as value for money goes, i don't think it worth the extra $17.

Bought the game just for the SP. For me it's the series main selling point.

For me it's a resounding yes. Always like the single player campaign since Operation Flashpoint. Although the AI always been the achilles' heel, but the story kinda interesting if not cliche' (it's understandable), and the mission design is brilliant. Unlike many other popular shooter, you can tell they spent lot of effort into the SP, kinda wasted to just ignore it. To each his own, it's their money at the end of the day.

Beside i'm not really into MP. Arma is one of those game that is suitable for both SP and MP player, both component are quality as far as i can tell.

Bit of formality see. But from a pure fan perspective, the SP is always the main reason why i bought the game. I'm not talking about anybody else, just stated my reason. Simple as that, no double entendre.

I'm still a noob. But my main reason is my rig always struggle to get decent performance in multiplayer since Armed Assault, maybe because the world is much more open and bigger by default. Maybe i'll change my mind once i get a better machine. I just love the pacing for the single player campaign (easy for me and my rig), and hopefully the AI is much more robust this time.

Oh, and sorry to sounded bit d***-ish in my last posts. It certainly wasn't my intention.

Seems like its time for me to upgrade my machine. I bought the game but seldom play due to low FPS even on standard settings. However it's not recommended to play on lower graphical settings since its harder to spot the enemy.

The retail version is cheaper than the digital edition,

Standard - RM119
Deluxe - RM139

First few level of campaign feels like tutorial. But still can't stop playing.

Also i don't know how to operate and control the UAV. The instruction is very confusing. I'm stuck at that stage.

I thoroughly enjoy the Bootcamp campaign very much. It's served as an introductory / tutorial campaign. However a little bit of hand-holding isn't a bad thing, especially compared to the previously "I have no idea what i'm doing", they just threw you in the middle of the battlefield.
