So for all you complainers who are squealing about what a rip off Arma II is because the Campaign is temporarily buggy, stop and look at what you're getting when you buy Arma II..

And I"m almost tempted to pop for it to get all those different real world terrain areas like in Afghanistan..

Go back and look at the mods and addons for OFP.

Go back and look at the mods and addons for Armed Assault.

Be patient.

Yeah, $540.00 is a lot of money to blow on a computer game..

Its tough to be a soldier... They're gonna die soon. How do I know?

Death is on the left. You can almost see that bony skull peeking out from under the black robes :p

hi cadmium.

VBS2 PE does not include any of the terrains you have linked to.. however with a bit of work most arma1 terrains will run well in the sim.

I stopped.

I looked.

It didn't help... the Campaign was still broken and I still feel ripped off.

Just 'cos a.n.other product gets a certain set of features doesn't make the abysmal state of ARMA2's co-op campaign (a feature listed on the box) any less relevant.

I've never seen such fanboi'ism as there is on these forums!

And being rude and negative will help? Your kind of attitude poisons the relationship between developer and user. Try and be more constructive, polite and positive.

That's a steep price to pay for adding a few maps. There will be many additional maps created for ArmA2. Even maps simply ported over from ArmA1,

(I tweeked the Avgani and Afgan Village maps and run them in ArmA2, somebody will port it over properly)

(the map titles are reversed in the clip, but you get the idea)

That's one of the things that makes ArmA brilliant. For under $50 you get pretty much unlimited expansion for free....

That looks awesome. Link to the site for that?

It's not been properly ported over to ArmA2 yet. I just used the latest ArmA1 version and added some files to get it to work. I don't think I'd suggest messing with it just yet unless you're familiar/comfortable with chasing a bunch of files and figuring out where to place them.

The map can be found on Armaholic.com (under the ArmA islands). You might search the forums here for some tips on getting it to work (there are several threads on the topic). It's not the simplest of maps to set up (the pbo's are all scattered into individual folders and will need to be moved around).
