ArmA 2 site hacked

[-=-Khaos-=- 10]

I would love to have a campaign like OFPR, where you lead a small force with mostly crappy weapons (like pistol, shotgun, IED even molotov-cocktail) again superior enemy

We - www.teamkommando.de - have a multiplayer coop-mission where we play as terrorists, trying to disturb blufor-missions. at the beginning we have nearly no weapons, trying to get ´em from the blues.

we dont play that mission often, but sometimes when we feel like it.

we can plant IEDs, steel weapons, have to wait for long times for convois aso.

Whilst I in one way would love that to be an ingame image, I also don't want it to be, as it would spell the end of my machine being able to smoothly run ArmA...

A new expansion would be nice, there's a lot of Greek links in the "clues", but the location of Limnos in the Aegean isn't as tactically important as say Crete....

Limnos is completely surrounded by "Friendly" forces, unless it's Turkey invading, plus the very nature of the Greek isles means any sea-bound approach would be highly dangerous, and easily repelled with some good shore to ship defenses....

Strange....

Ha, of course it's a real photo. Assuming BIS are recreating Lemnos to some extent, i'd say they probably picked it because they like the island, not because of its strategic importance. That can be managed by whatever back story they come up with. It's even likely they'd rename it and plonk it in their Green Sea or some new fictional region.

And at 477km sq it would be a damn nice Island to play around on!!!

I'm hyped up once again. ;)

Is betting allowed on this forum? I'd bet a fortune that's an in-game screenshot, and the ones from the first incursion with alleged Spukayev's hideout location in RL Krasnostav are also CGI with RV3 / ArmA 3 engine. :cc:

I get the impression that you people can't run Chernarus @ max. settings, which make various landscapes at certain TODs look like... oh, boy - photo-realistic. I like quoting myself to reiterate, so -

1) Go out, take images of the original Krasnostav landscape;

2) Use these high-res photos to render the in-game world with a new feature render-to-texture;

3) Go to the same place in-game, take screenshots;

4) Geotag 'em;

5) ???;

6) Someone rushes off into the wilderness of CZ to look for who-knows-what;

7)

The first hack image, Nothing struck me as being CGI or ingame shots. But i guess if the greek airfield picture is ingame, then why couldnt BIS do what they've done to that... to A2

I think you could end up losing a lot of money :p It's not an in game photo, the lighting and details and what not are just too life like to be any game engine.

Flat textures on the ground around the treasure glory hole, unnatural haze & blur in the distance.

Have you ever seen RL photos as a promotion for a BIS game? You don't place a photograph into a composite of several ArmA 2 / Operation Arrowhead screenshots and tell me it's not in-game.

Who dares, wins. ;)

Actually, yes.

You know what I'm talking about: RL Chernarus, Taki(Tajiki-, Afghani-, Baluchi-, Any-)stan just before announcement/game release. Photography won't sell it, I, on the other hand, was sold on the vegeration of Northern Sahrani in Armed Assault 1, even though, I preferred Southern Sahrani in the game due to the amount of trees present in the North, killing FPS. :cc:

[scajolly 14]

It's unfortunate there seems to be no rule about trolling.

[Hedo 10]

They haven't announced anything yet, so it's not that illogical that they're not showing us actual screenshots.

you for real? if so you're living in the la la land mate :rolleyes:

This is not BIS promotion...not even close. it is ARG. Besides, how many times before have you seen concept art from BIS? now look at carrier command

I'm for real, you'll be laughing when you get to go down a river in a boat across Lemnos with a new physics engine. Mark my words. ;)

[Tom1 10]

This is the only weekend in my entire life that has gone extremely slowly and that i wanted to just end (getting closer and closer to E3 where there will be an announcement if there is anythign big.)

[Bkp 10]

Guys you playing too much on Pc if you can't tell the difference between a real photo and an in-game one

[maddogx 13]

He sure will be laughing, because there are no rivers on Lemnos...

[Iroquois Pliskin 0]

The outline of the island is fit for sub/naval warfare, why not introduce streams for getting around the some-400 km^2 island? You know people always wanted rivers in the game. :)

[PuFu 4600]

already laughing

[cannonouscrash 12]

No rivers in lemnos... Did BIS pick this island because theres no rivers? the AI are hopeless when it comes to bridges!

Actually mate your very wrong, there are plenty of rivers on Lemnos.

Yeah, just saw that too. Was about to correct myself. :)

[the_antipop 10]

Just trying to sum up all the clues so far...

1. New Map (World will change) - Map of invasion of europe by naval and other units

2. Submarines - Outline of HMS Astute

3. Naval SF Units - SBS Miller

4. New Physics Engine - Ball smashing wall animation

5. Location based on Greek Islands - set of files pointing to Greek Islands/Greek Forces

6. New medical system, atomic/lazer weapons, persian/asian war - timeseeker program revelas key war, scientific events in history

7. New Guerilla faction - list of references to guerrila warfare

8. New summer textures/clutter/plants/trees, pic of russian helos - picture of Lemnos

This to me sounds like an expansion:

• based in the armaverse Green Sea region,
  
• featuring multiple islands and new terrain technology with new summer based assets (textures, plants, trees etc)
  
• New OPFOR forces based on Iranian and/or Chinese invading Green Sea islands.
  
• New Guerilla faction for the Green Sea islands.
  
• Improved naval simulation featuring submarines and naval special forces - update to BAF and possibly USMC (SBS/SEAL?).
  
• An improved RV engine featuring basic physics, new medical system, new advanced weapons such as tactical nukes and lazers.
  
• Improved Russian assets including KA-52 and 9K22 Tunguska or similar.
  

Thinking about Operation Arrowhead... that brought us two new maps, new OPFOR/BLUFOR/GUER forces, new vehicles, engine improvements and terrain assets. So, based on the above it's likely we're looking at ARMA 2: Operation Green Sea expansion?

Alternatively, could BIS be about to launch a new Naval Warfare simulator?

Sounds like the most logical thing to me. I originally wanted A3 and thought it would be ArmA 3 (Still could be...). But expansion now sounds much more logical. Could be some updated BAF units aswell as new BLUFOR Greek units?

Can't wait. Let's hope the engine improvements are substantial and give the game a new edge!

I'd also like the netcode code to be re-written... desync and the internet gameplay has a fair few flaws... unfortunately...

I really hope its not Arma 3. I'm hoping A2 will end up solid like Flashpoint so it can be enjoyed for 10 years :D

I would feel for the poor addon / mod makers. So much work...

I know its their choice but the games meant to be enjoyed on that level also.

Improvements or new contect will be extremely welcome.
