Binkowski 26 Posted June 6, 2009 Hmm, I'm thinking of taking an F35B up to a high altitude and checking? Maybe we'll find something! :butbut: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opteryx 1562 Posted June 6, 2009 It's right in the middle of a dense tree cluster so it's not meant to be seen in-game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Praelium 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Oh, okay. It would have been a funny easter egg for pirates. Not that they deserve one, but it'd show BIS' sense of humor well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GLT] Legislator 66 Posted June 6, 2009 Here you can find lots of Easter Eggs ... For example: Malden Tours, Tetris on AA Pod launcher, General Armstrong, Sascha H. aka Mr. Murray, Guba .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathstruck 375 Posted June 7, 2009 Is general Armstrong the same person as Dave A. from OFP ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted June 7, 2009 Probably not, probably just a little easter egg for us OFP players :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathstruck 375 Posted June 7, 2009 Probably not, probably just a little easter egg for us OFP players :D Well, but it would probably fit :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted June 7, 2009 Well, but it would probably fit :D Generally speaking if you start out at the rank of private you don't reach general and you also don't switch from Army to Marines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guy123 10 Posted June 7, 2009 In ofp, you got promoted from private to lieutenant, then to Captain through the storyline, with the assumption that you get further promoted at the end of the game. In ArmA1 'Colonel' Armstrong gives a briefing to your men at the beginning. After the successful defense and recapture of Sahrani, one could assume that Armstrong gets a further promotion. Now he is general Armstrong. An unrealistic raise through the ranks I know, but it makes for nice storytelling, and its fun to subconsciously realize a link between all the games, makes it more of a progression through time, than three separate games. Which essentially is what the game's, engine is. At most times during military service you can apply to change unit, or you can be recommended. For example, a friend of mine who is in the TA, started as soldier in the Royal Signals. However, he didn't find it entertaining, opted for a Para Selection Course and has now entered the Para's full time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you play the Dolores mission with the bridges he is killed at the end of it... at least everytime I have played. B.) Going from the signals to the paras isn't a branch change though at least as far as I know. Going from the Royal Marines to the Royal Air Force would be closer to what Armstrong would've had to do.

KJAM 0 Posted June 11, 2009 According to someone I know there's a possible Aliens reference on the carrier when you're prepping to blow the Radio tower thing up. He can't remember the specifics but it does mention the name Hudson and a line similar to one in Aliens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can't remember the specifics but it does mention the name Hudson and a line similar to one in Aliens If there is. It has to be this legendary line... Hudson: That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
