This game looks really cool, but there are all these expansion packs, I haven't an idea of what to buy first. Can anyone point me to a good place to buy?

First buy Operation Arrowhead. I prefer that to vanilla Arma 2.
I think the British one give you better character models or textures or some stuff. You just need to read them.

Operation Arrowhead includes the content from the PMC and the British air forces DLCs but all of the stuff has blurry textures and the campaigns are not included. They are not really important DLCs.

You should really buy Operation arrowhead as it has lots of good content , is less buggy, 3 new better working maps and adds things like better vehicle HUDs and Backpacks.
A bunch of good mods base on Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2 , too.

Is OA a seperate game from vanilla Arma 2? Or do I need to buy vanilla first?

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Is OA a seperate game from vanilla Arma 2?

Very much so

[Harm94]

Buy combined ops, you can play both games together(meaning you can play arma 2 while playing OA). With combined ops you get Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead. Arma 2's mission can be played online with 4 people(basically coop), nonmissions can be played with 64 people. You can play the missions online in Arrowhead, but you are thrown into different squads.

Harm , do you have the Advanced Combat Enviorment mod ?

It sucks because you can't run forever

Too bad you cannot run forever in real life.

Harm , do you have the Advanced Combat Enviorment mod ?

Nope. I have bad luck with mods. Mostly because some of them have corrupted some of the games basic files. When I unistalled DayZ many of the campaign missions said I was missing the dayz weapons files. So I had to reinstall it just to play something that didn't use the mod. So anyway I'll play a mod, as long as my friends are going to play it and that it's stable.
