Lol, where did they say there would be no more patches? ArmA was patched even after Arma 2 released. Fear not, while there are issues, BIS will be patching.

Merry Christmas, BIS. Thanks for the gift! :D

Work in Progress , no ETA

Any information available how the texture selection is working?

Yes, please, BIS? :o

At least tell us if these are a different flavor of the same desert theme or has something been added to blend in better on Chernarus? :confused:

[langgis08 10]

Thx BIS for all your hard and very good work and ... for lifting the word "support" up in a higher dimension :)

All of you reading this have a very merry X-mas
