I can do my private experiments here.
CO Lite
What is it
Combined Operations (OA) is the combination of Operation Arrowhead (OA) and ArmA 2 (A2). It extends it with additional content like new worlds (Chernarus and Utes) and various factions (USMC, Russian Armed Forces, Chernarussian Defence Forces, Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star, National Party).
CO Lite is the combination with ArmA 2 Free. It is called lite as ArmA 2 Free has lower quality textures and sound files.
Even for CO Full owners it might be worth considering. See the next section.
Pros and cons
Pros
- More FPS and less texture switching (due to the low quality textures for ArmA 2 content)
- Faster loading time (due to smaller pbo files)
- Ability to play on CO servers
Cons
- Low quality textures
- Lower quality sounds (though it seems hard to hear a difference)
How to
Basic version
- Get ArmA 2 Free
- Download the ARMA2Free_setup.zip file
- Extract the zip file to see the ARMA2Free_setup.exe
- Install the game
- Get the CD key
- Visit the activation site
- Log into Steam / your Google/facebook/Live ID account
- As alternative create an openID account at https://www.myopenid.com and use the full openID URL to log in
- Activate the game with the CD key
- Combine OA and A2F with the modline:
"-mod=c:\location\of\ArmA 2 Free"
Advanced version
Get CO Full
If you want to upgrade your CO Lite setup to CO Full your best option is to buy ArmA 2 at Sprocket (the online store from the developer itself). Or buy Combined Operation itself and make your Operation Arrowhead copy a gift to a friend to convert more people to the series. :)
You can also buy ArmA 2 at these alternatives.
