Chernarus perhaps? As in the CDF acting in a UN role?

I doubt that Irish Air Corps would use Mi-8/17 helicopters. Maybe there was a hidden poll somewhere and India won - who knows? Ask W0lle... :D

There was a picture somewhere showing off the UN troops in OA, which I can't find right now, which reveals them as the CDF forces. Also, in one of the preview videos you can see a CDF soldier showing hand signals for a chopper.

Are you talking about these guys?

Again I don't remember CDF officers wearing berets at all.

[That guy 10]

CDF seem likly at this point. it seems tak is close to cherna, and the CDF are there to help.

regarding some of the new things in latest pics

think we can get that CREW system working? :D

Il gioco, infatti, si conferma di per sé decisamente massiccio, sia come gameplay che come caratura tecnica. Quest'ultimo aspetto, in particolare, è stato ulteriormente migliorato rispetto all'originale e, in questo senso, ai possessori di ArmA II farà piacere sapere che tutte le migliorie saranno raccolte in una patch tramite cui aggiornarlo e renderlo tecnicamente uguale a questa espansione.

The game, in fact, confirmed it self very solid, as gameplay as technical caliber. This later aspect in particular has been enhanced over the original, and in this sense, the holders of ArmA II will be pleased to know that all improvements will be collected through a patch to update and make it technically equal to this expansion.

Directly to the youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ7EfxPq8zM

I wanted to see Arma, who the fuck is Alan Wake? :) So, commercial free link, that's all.

Anyway, at 4:50 and onward. Shoot the gunner using IR. Good. Now, shoot the driver, who is behind glass (and thus invisible). Good. Driver then falls to his side and becomes visible? Is this a bug that just happened to turn out looking good, or is heat transfer (to cold window) actually modeled?

[SASrecon 0]

That's because there's no window to his side.

Anyway, new Video and box-art from petergames:

A2 OA SCENARIO:

Arma II: Operation Arrowhead begins three years after the offensive Chernarus.

In 1988, after the fall of the monarchy power between monarchists and socialists tribal groups erupted a struggle for supremacy of Takistan. Both factions were supported respectively by the superpowers Russia and United States, which sought to secure strategic control over the country's rich resources, particularly oil reserves and mining precious minerals.

In 1992, thanks to the huge Soviet military and arms supplies from the East, the Socialists took over. However, large tribal groups remained monarchists. Oil resources available were quickly exploited to expand and strengthen the state police and the armed forces Takistan. The production of ballistic missiles and Scud B carrier-rocket secret projects and research and development of chemical weapons led to an increase in military escorts to increase the military power of Takistan and at the same time consolidating the government.

On April 17, 2012 royalist tribes apparently with the help of intelligence agents in the CIA provoked considerable damage to oil production. Coordinated a raid on oil fields strategic forces put three hard blows to the regime: the loss of a year of production, destruction of 68% of wells and a drastic reduction of resources with which to maintain control over the country.

Power structures began to disintegrate: rumors were spreading discontent and subversive acts occurred. In a desperate attempt to preserve its authority, the Supreme Council socialist threatened to launch a chemical attack if the neighboring country of Karzeghistan had "immediately returned to his people" Sharig the plateau, a region rich in oil that had been usurped by the British the time of the monarchy Takistan.

On June 1, 2012, days after the ultimatum, the forces of the alliance established bases in the territories controlled by rebels and launched the so-called Operation Arrowhead. Their purpose was to prevent possible attacks with ballistic missiles and nipped in the bud Karzeghistan of aggression, even before he groped any humanitarian initiative or policy.

In this situation, two armies and 24 hours in which only you can make a difference.
