http://www.arma2.com/supply/free.html‎

Maybe you were thinking, sure, there is all this swords and sorcery and fantastic future world save the humans sort of free-to-play MMO but what about you know, a lonely soldier who just wants to take his M4 and some MRE's, climb into his BDU's and kill some of the enemy? You got something like that?

Well, yeah... Actually we do! It's called Arma 2 Free, and it basically takes everything from one of the most popular military-focused shooters, strips away the campaign and player-created mods, and then offers it free to the players!

OK, you know when we said free above? Right, we don't mean in the normal “free” sense, as in free-to-play but there are micro-transactions -- what we mean is free to download, free to play, free to share, free to host, free to create... free to play redefined! As in Freaking FREE!

The game world is based on the latest generation tech, and it offers a large-scale game world with authentic modern military weapons, units, and vehicles. A range of environments support a vast array of multi-player options from co-op and PvP modes, to total destruction - the choice is yours.

Players can choose from ready-made scenarios or they can create their own using the built-in mission editor. You can download scenarios that were created by other users, and then play them together on the same premium game-servers (provided that they do not utilize custom objects).

I know this guy who lives in his VW Vanagon and supports himself via a couple of YouTube channels while he pretty much travels all over the USA and this is the game he plays once he finds someplace with a free WiFi connection he can leach and buttons up his ride for the night. Epic if you think about it -- you just got wasted by some homeless guy who lives in a van and plays the game on his notebook computer using a free 'net connection! Woot.

Back on track, Arma 2 Free offers gamers the opportunity to play in a conventional war environment, using modern hardware -- not just rifles, MGs or pistols mind you, but full military heavy metal! So if that sounds like it is more up your dark alley, head over and download the client like now!
