DLC suggestion - Korea War II

[afterburner 132]

Kim Jong Il's North Korea and South Korea's Lee Myung-bak at the risk of war in the Korean War near what about DLC

Is not the real story?

DLC lead to a minor without the intervention of the United States, Japan and China's southward policy could lead to the possibility of expanding the U.S. war is not about to deal.

Would like to share an opinion on this point.

Oh not again....these DLC discusisons.:rolleyes:

Give the "search" function a chance for "DLC" and wonder how

many results appear, also for Corean stuff.

This.

And how can you have such conflict as a 10 or 15EUR DLC? If this is ever done, it should be a huge expansion pack. Even bigger then Arrowhead maybe.

Please, add the whereveristan vs the other whereveristan as a DLC!

NO!

[Dwarden 1125]

while the idea is nice it means huge amount of work involved

as both historical and future Korean War would include huge amount of equipment types and armies

the historical ones would for sure be North Korea, Chinese and Russians with the usual mixture of USSR block vehicles and PLA variants

but the UN side would pose huge challenge as this war had many contigents from multiple countries each with own set of equip

and the future war would be also quite complicated because of the South Korean and North Koreans 'specific' weapons and huge variety of it (not easy to get hand on the proper sounds and specifications etc.)

so while you speak DLC i see like there work for N teams :)

but who knows ... maybe one day ... ;)

What about Iran vs Israel? Iran goes to Takistan to build the Takistanis a nuclear weapons development facility disguised as a nuclear power station. Israel protest on the UN but there isn't enough proof.

A special mossad operation gathers inteligence and identifies Iran's plans and decides to deploy a contigent of IDF on Takistan. Catholic Takistani freedom fighters aid the IDF. (optional)

This should give a lot of work, but at least we would get 2 new factions one OPFOR and one BLUFOR. New weapons such as the Galil and Tavor should be awesome as well as Merkava Tank, modified Apache and Cobra and a F-16!!! I wouldn't mind paying 25 EUR for this DLC.

Galil and Tavor are already available as addons, try searching for Lost Brothers & Vilas addons... Merkava is in the works by Namman2 as far as I know, F-16, Cobra and Apache are as well here. But it's not a dlc and it's for free, sorry,,,

Look i'm in no way trying to underestimate the awesome community work, but i would prefer to have this made by BIS in a DLC than downloading tons of single mods. A DLC would provide a campaign as well.

Maybe i'm stupid but i like BIS work and i don't mind supporting them.

That's how the community will disappear.

[topas 1]

Ok, I respect that. But just to explain myself;

i like BIS work and i don't mind supporting them.

That's what we have in common; I also do like BIS very much.

Some will buy BIS products because of the small and periodic dlcs of limited lifetime, the others, myself included, will spread the word and encourage others to buy BIS products because of the endless modability and unique possibilities.

And to elaborate on what Professor said;

Look at Operation Flashpoint. BIS did the game, provided patches and an excellent expansion. No dlc's. In June this year, the game will celebrate it's 10th (!) birthday. Yet, there's still a community around and addons are still being made for it.

With DLC oriented folks it may simply stop to be the case with ArmaII series... :j:

[Dwarden 1125]

topas You forgot that in these times weren't DLCs per se,

but technically Red Hammer could be considered one

there was expansion Resistance and ofcourse free stuff

also our DLC aren't opponents to community made content or vice versa ...

one of reasons is that like i said before the community has no eta or limits :)

take it as more options available ...

[carlostex 38]

Yeah i understand what you say topas but there are tons of things the community can do and there's not so much things BIS can do because of time budget etc... IMHO BIS needs to keep pushing some DLC, Arma 2 never got the critical aclaim that OFP had, and it's normal because Arma 2 is an enhancement, refinement. The engine is getting older and although improved it won't be enough to capture massive sales. And BIS needs money. The modelers, mission makers etc... who work at BIS need something to do too so DLC is a way to get them additional work and BIS getting some money instead.

Also we can argue that any DLC is not viable because there are tons of modders who made those units already, or something like that.

Someone posted above Korean scenario DLC which i agree is great idea but i also agree is too much work because it would require 1+ year work at least. This would be suitable for an expansion but not for DLC IMO.

My idea, not trying to be arrogant, is a bit more flexible because:

1. no new map is needed; desert scenario is the most suitable

2.For Iran OPFOR faction few new models had to be done; this includes weapons, vehicles, helos, fixed wing (Su-25 is enough)

3.Also for Iran OPFOR no new speech is needed. I believe takistanis also speak farsi. 4.Russia seems helpful towards Iran;

5.IDF is one of the most admirable armies in the world; it has been envolved in recent conflicts; one of the possible conflicts today is Iran vs Israel

6.would provide alternative to US vs rest of the world scenario;

7.IDF would require some new models but not everything had to be done; all army isn't needed; just need to retexture Apache and Cobra; F-16 should be nice to have but not mandatory;

8.IDF faction provides oportunity to heavy use of UAV's; IDF UAV had to be modeled yes but it's a small vehicle

I think this is one of the best scenarios for a possible new DLC

i buy the BIS stuff because i support them and i want them to continue improving on the engine and providing patches and support, not because i like what they make. TBH, i knew before i bot the PMC DLC yesterday that it was complete and utter shiite, and i already had alternative units that i liked more that were made by the community. The way that arma 2 works is that Bohemia interactive is like the drug grower, the addon and mission makers are dealers, and the people who just play are the users. Its the dealers job to make everything look sexy and happy. For examples of excellent quality community addons that i think far surpass BIS, i would suggest looking at Isla Duala and Panthera by Ice Breaker, Namalsk, Thirsk, and Podagorsk for islands. As far as other addons, CSLA was just released, ACE is good, but sometimes breaks things, and War FX and JTD Fire and smoke make a good combo. Use some community stuff, it really is worth it!!!

[carlostex 38]

Exactly!!!!

[ProfTournesol 956]

Not a very good example i'm afraid, AFAIK RedHammer wasn't a very good campaign in OFP era, compared to CWC and Resistance, and it was driven by the "cash machine only" Codemasters, wasn't it ?

Defending community contents is defending BI assets as much as buying/promoting official DLC, i hope everybody is aware of this.

Yeah i agree i use a lot of mods for enhanced experience.. ACRE is one of the most amazing mods ever and i even think BIS should adopt it for vanilla Arma 2.

As for DLC i think BIS should keep doing it, they need the money, i don't mind supporting these guys, it's better than dump money on COD crap that has no replay value.

But still, RedHammer was something that gave you a different experience... I think Dwarden gave a good example....

I believe you are correct on that one sireee

[lao fei mao 21]

I think another expansion is needed. Korea Peninsula area, future war(assume 2015), Of course DPRK, ROK, PLA, Russia, U.S.A related.....

[Primarch 10]

I think an another expansion is needed. Fenno-Scandinavian area, future war(assume 2015), Of course FDF, SAF, NATO, Russia related....

Korean war is a ridiculously boring subject. There is much more than a few middle east- asian countries and their small fights.
