Pretty sure that's a troll-post, he's parodying his own previous requests.

*Easter Egs: Nice if you spot one, boring if you see it the next time.

*An oldtimer bug getting fixed: Nice if you spot it for the first time, a big smile if you never spot the old bug again.

I know what i would be working on...but BIS call.

As a mather of fact, maybe you guys are blind, but the hole OA expansion is a big easter eg mokking with 'that other game'.

If you can't see why, you better relook the released footage and pics. Plenty of easter egs (stuff that was in 'zhe other game', but now in most cases better).

OA is supposed to have what BIS term a third generation rendering engine, does this imply that it is substantially different from the Arma2 engine, and would this new engine have a DX11 renderer?

I think they're referring to the third generation of their engine.

RV1 = Operation Flashpoint

RV2 = ArmA

RV3 = Arma2 + Operation Arrowhead

[Laqueesha 474]

I think they're referring to the third generation of their engine.

Well, shouldn't Operation Arrowhead be referred to as RV 3.1 as it is an upgraded version of the original Real Virtuality engine used in the vanilla version of ArmA 2? :confused:

Sure, why not? :)

But who cares?

[lone.wolf 80]

Is there anything official about which countries has units in AO, until now i have seen US, German, Takistan, Militia, Guerilla, Chech, United Nations and if i remember correct some russians... But do we know of any others...

The KSK looks very nice...

[R3MF 0]

cheers guys, any news on dx11?

[maddogx 13]

cheers guys, any news on dx11?

Nope, but if you google "bloody unlikely" I'm sure the possibility of DX11 on OA will pop up in the results somewhere. ;)

[Laqueesha 474]

Right, my bad. :p

Personally, I'd like to see some British, Australian or Dutch units in Operation Arrowhead, but since there's already several factions; I don't see the developers making any more, therefore we should be happy with what we're getting because we are getting a lot. ;)

Well that's the thing, Bohemia have modeled pretty much the entire UK and Australian forces already. It's a shame we can't have them.

Yeah, they should totally destroy their premium product line by including all its content for free in their consumer product which will then review so much better with all those previous-gen, sans-shader models in it.

[SWT_Janowich 10]

These whole models of VBS2 would look super ugly, please not!

it does focus on performance and not beauty!

IIRC, Project UKF and RKSL actually modelled most of the gear for BIS.

Regarding the UN troops . They look dark'ish skinned to me , so they might be from somewhere in ASIA . Just saying.
