New addon for Arma 2

[SUBS17]

QUOTE

Question: Will this be a completely new game? As in, will it add loads of new features to Arma 2, or will it just be a new campaign with a few weapons, but we still get charged for it?
Jennik: It's more than just a new campaign. Arrowehead contains a completely new environment, US army units, weapons and vehicles and a lot more. At least, there will be some very new features introduced in Arrowheadt too.


Question: Will Arrowhead include western forces besides the US?
Jennik: There will be some more than just US Army Units, yes.


Question: Is there going to be a functional FLIR system out of the box (everything has heat based textures)
Jennik: Yes, there will be a FLIR system. We have one of the most sophisticated FLIR simulation systems already done for VBS2 and we will bring it in Arrowhead to fans of ARMA2 too.


Question: Will the game have Functional IR lasers (PEQ units) like in vbs2? Or Flashlights?
Jennik: I'm glad to say: Yes, and yes.


Question: Is the terrain based on Afghanistan? Or is it more of a desert?
Jennik: Kind of, it will include dense urban areas and the countryside too.[/quote]

promises they made for arma2 but never pulled through...as usual. Looks like a cool expansion but imo its a way for bi to try compete with OFP2DR and make as much $$ as possible out of arma2

Most of those features are off VBS2 so it'll be good with it added to Arma2s addon.

that is if the game actually runs properly. and going by the amount of patches theyve already released trying to fix the pre-maturely released Arma2 i doubt they will have it fixed by the extensions release

Yeah it might take a while to fix the bugs and get it up to the level that Arma is. Its good to see some of the good mods off Arma are able to be ported to Arma2 and ACEmod is being made for Arma2 featuring among the many cool features of Acemod inflight refuelling and the ability to rest weapons on objects.
