Help understanding the new "AMRA cold war" 1.99

[general cockface 11]

Hello all,

Just recently Steam gave away Arma Cold war assault. (OFP)

I've been playing OFP since release, all forms, Xbox, ARMA 1, 2, and 3.

Now all my gaming buddies have this new ARMA cold war. I need to know, what addons and islands, and such are compatible?

-is there a resource to get new stuff? most of the old sites I used to use are dead, or all dedicated to the newer ARMAs

-Do Addons like BAS rangers and such still work?

Any help telling me the changes would be much appreciated, or things to watch for, or know. I make maps, and plan on having a lot of fun with the guys. they LOVED it.

Thanks!!

Most addons will work, some total mods need a bit of tweaking to get them to work.

Thank you so much sir, looking at it now!

OK, is it safe to say, that when I read anything that says "Flashpoint 2" that they are talking about ARMA:Cold war assault, and not the Dragon rising game, right?

This addon here, from your link, is this the "final" version of BAS rangers I should use?

Yes...a lot is coming back to me now. I think FFR or something was the cool effect addon that had the good tracers and such? Is that correct?

ArmA;CWA is pretty much OFP rebranded so that BI can sell it since Codemasters got all rights for OFP brand.

The only difference content wise is the deleted Red Hammer campaign since it was made by Codemasters.

BI's original OFP2 never got released, but most of the stuff from it's developement got used in ArmA1,2 and OA.
