Here is a guide on how to open Arma 2 OA without DayZ enabled so you can play other gamemodes without being a dumbass bird.

1. Open the Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folder in Program Files' Steam
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead

2. Open arma2oa.exe*

3. Go to the "Expansions" option in the game's main menu.

4. Disable everything that has to do with DayZ (@DayZ, @DayZ_LingorIsland, @DayZ_Takistan, etc). Reset the game like instructed.

5. Be happy you can play Armory and Hunger Games.

* Replace the original arma2oa.exe in the main directory with the arma2oa.exe in your \expansions\beta folder. Remember to make a backup of your original .exe

**You can also make a shortcut to this.
Put this in the Target line for the shortcut properties:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -skipIntro -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=2047

You can edit it the way you want.
