Ezcoo 47 Posted December 26, 2013 Just one word: WOW! This will be a big thing. The potential of IF begins to be realized finally. PS. I think that it's really necessary to hide the whole opening post in spoiler and warn people to not to open it if they don't have pair of clean pants nearby!

Tonci87 163 Posted December 27, 2013 So, I´ll ask again here. Does this mean that all the IF Missions and Campaigns are available too? Do IF Features like the improved tank penetration system, adjustable sights on static weapons and tanks, etc work? Do I need the IF DLC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kremator 1065 Posted December 27, 2013 Now we just Carrier Command to get the kju treatment ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted December 27, 2013 I literally just purchased Iron Front on Steam yesterday, along with the DLC. I pre-ordered the game as soon as it was available on the BI Store and I really loved it, but was so disappointed that there was no mod support and support for the game pretty much dropped off after a few months. Thank you very much for your hard work, I can't wait to play it! ---------- Post added at 17:13 ---------- Previous post was at 17:11 ---------- Now we just Carrier Command to get the kju treatment ! Carrier Command is running on the Enforce engine, not Real Virtuality. Why would you want Carrier Command in ArmA?? Unless you are joking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4059 Posted December 27, 2013 Finally released! My IFR team has been helping test the Arma2CO version for the longest time, and then a bit of the Arma3 version, we have been waiting for release. I think if I recall correctly we have been working on this since April/May Kju? Deepsilver had us waiting for the longest time before Kju finally got the word of ok. You guys really must thank kju for his efforts. there is another thread for a v 1.06 patch we have been working on since...July or August: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?170686-Iron-Front-Liberation-1944-v1-06-community-patch-available-%28Arma-version-only%29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Charles 22 Posted December 27, 2013 So, actually having tested it, I can't get it to run without completely locking up A3. I do not have the DLC and it's throwing me a US_MK2 error at the main menu. Can't even hit enter and skip that warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SavageCDN 231 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Finally, my purchase of IF is worth it... haha yes!! Big thanks to Kju and I know Gunter has put a lot of time and effort into this as well. For the DLC (I don't have it) do you have an affiliate link or is it only available through Steam directly? @ALiVE and IF - anyone try it yet?

MissionCreep 12 Posted December 27, 2013 This is amazing. Despite what people claim, after all the initial bug fixes, and the D-Day DLC, IF was never a waste of money. I'm so glad to see that it is getting the life extension that it so rightfully deserves! Thanks so much for all your hard work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
