Never say never. The developers at Bohemia Interactive will have to listen to their customers - the customer is after all always right. They could potentially release a classic version via a DLC pack if there's enough demand to finance and develop it. I for one would definitely be more than willing to pay for the additional content. I can already envisage an optional menu for playing 'classic' ArmA :)

I dont see it happening, this game is set is the future, so it stands to reason that current technology has been replaced. Although it is a bit odd that there is *no* technology of any kind from from the past. I.e. every altis farmer has a modern pickup truck with a touch screen

No. Or at least not for another 5 years, and even after the game has been complete with all it's perks, i doubt BI would make a classics weapon pack. How ever, i'd love to see a pack from BI with more advanced 21st century weapons. AUG-A3's, SIG-556's, Masada's and AK-12's. Idk. Most likely all you can do is premote a request to BI via feedback tracker.

What's wrong with having them in mods?

Wouldn't BIS just have to copy & paste them from A2? Maybe their texture quality does not match A3 perfectly (?), but I suppose many people would like to see a few old guns (AK47 - yes 47, not 74, Lee Enfield, pumpguns...).

I would love to see as much as possible (stuff of all kind) in the vanilla game. Mods just cluster up the community. Amongst x players there are probably x+1 incompatible game versions out there.

ACE is planning to port all of the Arma 2 content and a few other mods are likely to do so as well.

not a big deal but in multiplayer, you have to find the players who have that mod.

From BI's CEO:

That’s a lot to look forward to! How about the Arma 2 content library? Will there be some form of backwards compatibility?

Originally, we had an idea that was similar to Take On Rearmed. Unfortunately, upgrading the Arma 2 massive content library to Arma 3 standards is beyond what we can do in reasonable time. So instead, what we are going to do will be similar to Arma 1: we are going to release the entire Arma 2 library to the community and allow them create any derivative work within Arma 3. More details will be announced very soon.

In short... nope, presumably not even as a paid DLC.

why do you tend to put words in other people's mouths?

If you believe someone will actually update and port the ENTIRE A2 CO content over to A3, you are sooo gullible...

Even a community wide content would be better used to create and replace A2 content from scratch rather than a direct port over, and i might add, just as time consuming

Will they use some of the things, i am pretty sure, especially since ACE doesn't have many (if any at this very moment) 3d artists, so it is dependent on vanilla content or other people's work..

Doubtful for visual upgraded, more likely a straight port. I could see a few of the larger mods just porting things, but it certainly won't be done quickly. Things take time.

ProGamer... why do you get peoples hopes up like that.

? Chortles neither confirmed or denied what I said. I will do my best to try and find the thread which contained the information.

It is NOT just a visual upgrade lad.

I am part of one of those larger mods, and while it is planned to use and update some of the A2 mlods, most will (if at all) be just placeholders before custom content is done

Things take time.

I am sure you would know that from your vast first hand experience.

I didn't address your remark because the OP specifically asked about "officially" and NOT "by modders" such as the ACE guys.

I believe ProGamer was reffering to this post, but this post doesnt say that the ACE team will be porting all the arma2 content.

Ghost, we're did you get this quote?

My intent is behind the fact that many threads exist with the exact same point as this. I was trying t make it different and thus useful with Arma 2 content mod porting.

Time wise even with a ton of help, I spent many hours just making this work: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?160133-Realistic-Jumping-Script

But this is a different topic entirely.
