Here :)

Arma2.pl produly presents Town Construction Set, a new module in Arrowhead - http://arma2.pl/news/73/tylko-na-arma2-pl-generator-miasteczek.html

At first, it's still not a final version, and second - I don't know any config options for this (like Civilian Module for example), so I played in deafult settings. It's freakin' awesome to fight with AI in dense areas.

3rd island is a desert island, cool:)

Really nice to see whats in the editor too

Is he allowed to do that? :D

[Zipper5 74]

Christ, that town construction video is incredible! What an amazing tool to have!

[maddogx 13]

Is he allowed to do that? :D

Well, he could make a video where he casually scrolls through all the different units on all sides. And then write a short review where he casually mentions all the different weapons available. ;)

[eJay 1]

Is he allowed to do that? :D

I'm not going to spoil all stuff, keep something for surprise. :cool:

[AnimalMother92 10]

That was a crazy video. The detail on the new buildings is amazing. Plus you can actually enter them!

[otrebla_snake_ita 2]

Can someone translate from german to eng? I can't speak german :p

[Pauldarrington 9]

It's practically a word for word german translation of the press release by IDEA Games. Nothing new there. ;)

But here is something new

http://www.4players.de/4players.php/dispbericht/Allgemein/-/0/68068/0/index.html

The rating is average

Main Reson: AI not taking cover or something when rockets explode everywhere around them...

[Sgt.Spoetnik 10]

Just seen that city module movie and I was really impressed by it,great detail inside and outside the buildings and it followed the terrainheight aswell,

gone be lots off fun

[maddogx 13]

Well, despite their usual habit of harping on about bugs, even the german reviewers seem cautiously optimistic. Though I do find it odd that once again the most negative reviewers of Arma2 are experiencing unusual crashes and performance problems that others seem to be missing. Weird. :rolleyes:

Anyway, with OA apparently already in a very good state and the release still 2 months away, I think we can finally look forward to a very nicely polished game on release. It was truly an excellent move to make the expansion stand-alone, as it gives potential new players the opportunity to grab it without having to worry about the original.

I'm just hoping BIS will now start focussing on ironing out the biggest flaws in the AI (with some beta patches, please) so that OA will be truly awesome on release. :D

The official press release for ArmA 2 - Operation Arrowhead has been released!

Arma 2: Operation Arrohwead will be released on 29th June exclusively for PC.

Quote :

Prague' date=' Czech Republic, April 22nd

Award-winning independent development studio Bohemia Interactive today confirmed that Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, the forthcoming standalone expansion pack for Arma 2, best military simulator of 2009, will be available to buy across the globe from June 29th. Developed as a massive standalone expansion pack enlarging Arma 2 to a completely new level, Operation Arrowhead promises to deliver yet more of the highly authentic military simulation gameplay the series is famed for, while shifting the action to an all-new environment and adding key new features to Arma 2’s already vast palette.

Set in the fictional region of Takistan and taking place three years after the Arma 2’s campaign, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead features three new world maps with radical new terrain; sandy deserts, a dense city with surrounding countryside and a rocky mountainous region. Also included in the standalone expansion pack is support for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to observe, strike and rescue from afar, along with a fully-modelled FLIR thermal imaging simulation with unprecedented realism to give the player advantages while working at night, going as far as to model vehicle engine heat, tyre friction and even glowing weapon barrels after being fired. A new campaign is included, with Bohemia Interactive taking the experience gained from its previous games, combined with real world events and political intrigue, to create a storyline that serves as a chilling reminder to the geo-political situation the world finds itself in on a constant basis. Other new features include a detachable backpack system for carrying more weapons and ammunition, and an overhauled optics system allowing keen marksmen to ‘zero in’ their scopes to account for ballistic fall-off.

ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead employs a third-generation engine benefitting from more than a decade of continual development and unique experience in implementing new technologies and procedures. Named the Real Virtuality engine, it is widely recognised as the premier platform for modern military simulations where realism and technical accuracy are crucial. Bohemia Interactive Studio’s Real Virtuality engine is used as a base for real-world training simulators implemented by numerous governments and militaries around the world including the United States Marine Corps, the United Kingdom Minstry of Defence and the Australian Defence Force.

ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead features in full:

• New Playable Content: New story campaign for both single and multi-player gameplay. Wide range of new tutorials, single scenarios and multiplayer modes.

• Massive Game World: Three brand new Central Asia-style large maps including expansive urban, desert and mountainous terrain, featuring a fully destructible and interactive environment.

• Extra Units and Vehicles: Multiple factions for all sides including US Army, United Nations, Takistani Army and Guerrillas making a collection of 300+ new units, weapons and vehicles.

• Ultimate War Simulation Experience: Fully integrates with the original ARMA 2 for unmatched warfare simulation.

• Unique Gameplay Elements: Detachable backpacks with equipment, advanced weapon optics, material penetration modeling, remote real-time simulation of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV), freedom of decision and repercussive actions.

Arma 2: Operation Arrohwead will be released on 29th June exclusively for PC.

I'm pretty confident that BI will be able to fix the issues mentioned in the reviews after the game has been released. Even the one about AI not taking cover properly when under attack. Go BI!
