DieAngel 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Anything but US related troops for the love of god, we already have plenty of this between Blackwater, the US army, and ,the Marine corps. -How about having the ability to pick your gender in your player profile? With at least one proper face, and at least one voice so it would work for every units. I would gladly pay 200 bucks for this feature. -We do need more insurgent, and i would love maybe a complete winter setting with corresponding adapted troops , equipments and maybe new objects, like tents. - More animals?

instagoat 133 Posted January 7, 2011 177 Votes so far. I think it´s pretty clear that the overall tendency is going towards a new or updated Opfor faction. I´d really be interested in any opinions BI themselves have on these (lofty) wishes/suggestions, and maybe a hint or two towards the things they may have in the pipeline. :> That´d be a great birthday present for me HINT HINT NUDGE Anyways... I wonder if we can get a few more votes on this so this becomes more statistically relevant. There´s more than a few thousand users on these forums, but only a fraction of those have voted so far. Maybe this can even become viable market research. Cheers Insta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkenny 1057 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) An option missing form the poll is adding another European country, similar to the BAF release, to the Armaversium. Offhand the immediate thought would be adding a German Armed Forces not as much because they are playing such a specific role in current COIN/GWOT environments, but rather because a sizeable number of fans are German. Not to mention the fact that German military kit is awsome. (G36,mg3, leopard2, etc) There might be a live and thriving mod-community creating German content-- but that didn't stop BIS from releasing BAF forces. (and whether or not it should or not is an argument for a different time and thread) -k Edited January 8, 2011 by NkEnNy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flattermann 12 Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I'd rather like to play a French Foreign Legion scenario, they actually are deployed quite everywhere round the Globe where the crap hits the fan. If there is not a live and thriving community in Britain it is actually a clever move to release a BAF DLC to gain a wider audience of gamers on the not so European part of Europe. With the units already being part of VBS2 it's not such great deal of work either. Just my 2 cents, adding another NATO army like our German Army, i doubt it would swipe a lot of people off their feet. China (PLA), in regard of the latest military related News, the mysterious Foreign Legion, or as I voted, an Insurgent faction on the other hand, realistic, but not impious upon the many brave men who died in duty... Who knows, the World is a pretty complex place :D Edited January 8, 2011 by Flattermann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johncage 30 Posted January 8, 2011 well if you want that, then you cannot play any combat roles. unless you suggest a women oriented dlc that includes a single player campaign and allows you to play a convoy driver with coop missions corresponding to those roles. that might be interesting, but it won't sell well, and that's arguable the objective of dlcs.

purepassion 22 Posted January 9, 2011 what ? is enough blufor us stuff in game - no thanks ! There is never enough stuff to enjoy! ---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ---------- ok my idea would be to pay more attention to these specialised secret Task Forces and move the battlefield to an more urban area ( not necessarily, but its a cool idea) with a complete new field of units and new settings like naval operations and so on so the focus is on the Special and Task Forces ( maybe on both sides..)

-Luc- 10 Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Hi, modern russian army is pretty boring imo. a lot of them are using western gear and their native designs are even starting to look american. and they're pretty much covered in arma 2 and sarmat's addons.russian army circa 1995. now that'll be interesting. I'm agree... We can look back, not only in the present or the future... Cold war was interesting because all differences between 2 blocks. If we want a large scale conflict, we have to find it in the past. I dont know how include a lot of hardware in another way. Takistani rebels with BMP-2 and M-113 in BAF doest make sense to me! US and Britain should have air superiority! No tank should run during the day like we can see in campaign. In today conflit, large armies fight against small mobile militian groups and IED; not very interesting for a good DLC including different complex weapon system. So back in the past or a very realistic and well done campaing based on a special force in counter insurgy missions. My opinion.

flattermann 12 Posted January 10, 2011 what about a drug-related civil war somewhere in the South Americas, with private Armies fighting each other with high-tech equipment. US led coalition troops intervene... what about a secret conflict over newly discovered natural ressources somewhere in the Arctic or Antarctic circle, with several civilian research teams in danger...

It's not a bad Idea for a mission that the community can make though Edited January 13, 2011 by Haystack15 Spelling Error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
