jdmt 12 Posted August 23, 2010 OK, so here's my proposal: Marines in Takistan, a small DLC, I know this can be accomplished by the community, but I also propose new vehicle models. Desert USMC units, including FR Campaign based around regular forces CH-53E (Or K, seeing as BIS likes to go a little in the future) More LAV variants(LAV-AT, LAV-AD, LAV-M) All ArmA II vehicles painted in Desert Most USMC vehicles from A2 brought up to OA standards, with Desert camo Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle? F/A-18 UH-1Y Medevac MEU(SOC) pistol -Why was this not put into A2? Uparmoured MTVRs MRAPs AAVC7 IFAV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3flyboy 0 Posted August 23, 2010 I'd like to see this, as well as the Russians as well. I'd gladly pay for DLC adding the Russians and the USMC up to OA standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binkowski 26 Posted August 23, 2010 Really? Community made addons...much? Why pay when we get it for free.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmt 12 Posted August 23, 2010 Really? Community made addons...much? Why pay when we get it for free.. I've been waiting for a USMC F/A-18 for a LONG time. Besides, if the Community can do it, why don't they? There are currently no mod groups working on bringing a new USMC force into OA. Also a JDAM system: Place a module Place a target Get in the plane, and get told when to drop Also have the ability to mark on the go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3flyboy 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Also, mod makers converting existing content from A2/A1/OFP/Mods can easily get in to sticky legal situations in some cases. It would be better overall for it to be official, while you would be paying for it, it will also carry a lot less legal headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binkowski 26 Posted August 23, 2010 I'm working on USMC dudes for OA. But I work quietly and in the dark. And Franze had an F-18 in ArmA1, and I'm pretty sure somebody was working on one for ArmA2 iirc before I left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted August 23, 2010 I've been waiting for a USMC F/A-18 for a LONG time. Besides, if the Community can do it, why don't they? There are currently no mod groups working on bringing a new USMC force into OA. Because making addons is practically a full time job now. You get to wait longer for the community to finish an addon - not like in FP where you could get something new every month. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmt 12 Posted August 23, 2010 Also, I know a lot of stuff against the BAF pack was because there were already people working on the British Army, so think about this, by adding an F/A-18 you are benefiting the following mod teams: ANZAC ONS FDF Mando Missile Depending on what MRAPs are adding, these can benefit a variety of mod teams. EDIT: Franze, what would need to be done to bring your F/A-18 into OA as is? I LOVED that thing in ArmA I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Franze, what would need to be done to bring your F/A-18 into OA as is? I LOVED that thing in ArmA I. Actually, it wouldn't be benefiting ANZAC or FDF. ANZAC already uses Franze's amazing model, as is Project RACS. FDF currently has one of the best aircraft models in the community, atleast with what I've seen of their F-18 cockpit, and imho community made stuff is often more accurate and better looking than official content.

Pvt.mcdonald 10 Posted August 24, 2010 i'd like to see some navy guys as well because navy and marines are kind of a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonk 0 Posted August 24, 2010 before they release more units... I am keen for more islands.. even the old OFP islands and the Arma island ported over would be worth buying. It would give some more gaming area variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Mac 19 Posted August 24, 2010 More LAV variants(LAV-AT, LAV-AD, LAV-M)That's the only thing I'd like to see. The rest everyone else can have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aidas2 10 Posted August 24, 2010 Just use the community made reskins and thats it, if you want proper usmc, we will have to wait till bis updates a2 upto oa level. And how could this even be a dlc with usmc already in arma 2? OA players only? it would be stealing money by giving you what you already have, just with a couple new features.

Jelliz 10 Posted August 24, 2010 And how could this even be a dlc with usmc already in arma 2? OA players only? it would be stealing money by giving you what you already have, just with a couple new features. Having looked over game files and getting a overview of what would have to be done to bring A2 content to OA standards, it is a huuuge job even for a team. And the features of OA were not planned while developing A2, so why not get paid for the hard work of upgrading the old content to new standards? BIS does run on money afterall, not a spoiled community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aidas2 10 Posted August 24, 2010 I would pay if a2 would get updated to oa standarts, but not for getting the stuff you already have, just released with oa standarts while original a2 things is still not in oa standarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fisgas 10 Posted August 24, 2010 I would buy this DLC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cannonouscrash 12 Posted August 24, 2010 I wouldnt be very interested in buying something which we already have. The only things on that list that we dont have are some of the vehicles. If BIS decided to go ahead and do this, Then it would be a negative step because the USMC are already in Arma2 which are available in Arrowhead if you use combined arms/ops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

l mandrake 9 Posted August 24, 2010 but paying for somethings that technically a repaint, Arent there repaints available from user made addons anyway? yeah, cant help but hope that a future free patch might add desert skins for the USMC vehicles in Arma2 - would love to see USMC in Takistan!

nodunit 397 Posted August 24, 2010 They're in woodland MARPAT. All of them. And the vehicles are painted to suit woodland environments. Some of the vehicles work in desert environment though really, the humvee's for exmaple especially with the tires as they are. Really all you need is the AAV,and uniform in desert, MTVR's already have a desert, there is a desert LAV addon, and since they pretty much use the same humvee's and M1A1 they are already set. Although on reflection I'm not sure I've seen a picture of the AAV in desert camoflauge yet, every time I see one in a desert it's still woodland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viper0311 10 Posted August 24, 2010 The thing I would be willing to pay for is A2 USMC units being brought up to OA standards. If BI refuses to do this, then do what the OP said and make the USMC faction for the desert with OA standards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
