== Pretext ===
{{Important|IMPORTANT}}
This is an '''unofficial guide''' and is not done by Bohemia Interactive. CO Lite is still '''experimental''' as more testing feedback is needed.
== What is it ==
Combined Operations (OA) is the combination of [[Arma_2:_Operation_Arrowhead|Operation Arrowhead]] (OA) and [[ArmA 2]] (A2).
It extends it with additional content like new worlds ([[Chernarus]] and [[Utes]]) and various factions and their assets ([[USMC]], [[Russian Armed Forces]], [[Chernarussian Defence Forces]], [[Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star]], [[National Party]]).
CO Lite is the combination of OA with [[ArmA_2:_Free_Public_Beta|ArmA 2 Free]] (A2F). It is called ''Lite'' as ArmA 2 Free has lower quality textures and sound files.
{{Important|NOTE: CO Lite allows OA only owners to join CO servers and therefore it '''unifies the multiplayer scene'''.}}
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 the ArmA 2 content)
* Faster loading times (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_Public_Beta|ArmA 2 Free]]
## '''Download''' the [http://www.arma2.com/free ARMA2Free_setup.zip] file
## '''Extract''' the zip file to see the ARMA2Free_setup.exe
## '''Install''' the game
## '''Get''' the CD key
### Visit the [http://free.arma2.com/activation activation site]
### Log into Steam / your Google/facebook/Live ID account
### As alternative [https://www.myopenid.com/signup create an openID account] at https://www.myopenid.com and use the full openID URL to log in
## '''Activate''' ArmA 2 Free with the CD key
# '''Combine''' OA and A2F with the modline:
"-mod=c:\location\of\ArmA 2 Free"
{{Important|NOTE: You need provide the full link to the ArmA 2 Free folder.}}
{{Important|NOTE: You need to enclose the parameter in quotes, if it contains spaces in the path.}}
=== Advanced version ===
== Get CO Full ==
If you want to upgrade your CO Lite setup to CO Full your best option is to [http://www.sprocketidea.com/joomla/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=30&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 buy ArmA 2] at [http://www.sprocketidea.com/joomla Sprocket] ('''the online store from the developer itself''').
Or [http://www.sprocketidea.com/joomla/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=33&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 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 [http://www.arma2.com/shops/buy-arma-2_en.html these alternatives].
