ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread

[Fred DM 0]

Also, I don't see why BIS won't release the MLOD's. It just makes it easier for you talented mod makers to provide the community with awesome addons.

i got two words for you: Downloadable Content.

if you want to push your own DLC, the first step is always to limit the editing options of your community; for references see Infinity Ward/MW2, Rebellion/AvP and DICE/BFBC2.

Or it might be simply because every prick out there could just convert them to .3ds and sell them online.

[STALKERGB 6]

Thing is though, we don't need all the MLODs just enough for reference of each unit (heli, fixed-wing, cars, infantry, weapons etc). This fixation (not aimed at you Enad) some people have with wanting ALL the MLODs is strange, most addon makers will happily make stuff from scratch rather than copy and paste bits to make a new addon, yes it has its place but demanding all the MLODs is unreasonable I think.

I would love it if they released a single mlod of each class. That would make things like deflatable tires so much easier.

It's been that way since Arma1 so that is not likely, more chance that they want to avoid this again. http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=0&cat=news&id=491

Although I don't understand why they would want to make things more clear..if someone is going to do something without permission they are likely to do it anyway. Also there are things like this, http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/534027 look familiar?

Man E3 would have been an awesome event to showcase this game

[Killerwatt 0]

A hint that British Forces may be included in a future DLC?

Link?

[glowbal 13]

Link?

Take a look at the new AAN-online video. Then read the text on the white scroll bar. :)

Yeah but like Darkhorse said...1 for each class would really help people out.

I've reported it. The guy stole 6 models in all, selling 4 for $160, 1 for $120, and 1 for free.

i wonder who bought the scam and bought the models , that guy is destroying the community

[jblack9 10]

Are British forces also shipping with OA, saw these screenshots on ANN ?

[Laqueesha 474]

Oh no, not the British forces discussion again...

[archaon98 10]

Yes, the british WILL be in Arrowhead on release, the fact that they have been mentioned multiple AAN reports should assure you of that.

[SEALVI 10]

I still don't know. That is the main reseaon I dislike ANN. They try too hard at turning user made content into the ArmA world. So now you don't know what is officialy BIS content and which isn't.

[maturin 12]

I see they're still using that map where Takistan is on Chernarus' Western border. Really? Bohemia with Ukrainian villages is in Central Asia?

[Steakslim 1]

Uh, wasn't it officially stated that british forces are NOT going to be in Arrowhead?

[noubernou 77]

Maybe its one of those maps from the southern hemisphere where north is down and south is up. :cool:

[archaon98 10]

Well, the area that you play in is only a small bit of chernarus, down over by novigrad would probably be a bit more sandy.

When you start to care about something like that, it might be time to step back abit :p

[Xenios 0]

Chernarus may be geographically modelled after part of Bohemia, but politically it was meant to resemble Georgia on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. And for that to make sense you have to imagine a reversed mirror image of the Chernarus map, so that the Green Sea represents the Black Sea.

Takistan is meant to geographically resemble Afghanistan but apparently with a Saddam Hussein-style dictatorship in place. Of course, neither Afghanistan or Iraq are really close to the Caucasus--so at that point BI's alternate world map starts to become even further removed from real world geography.

Chernarus, like Georgia, is a Western country with Christian religious influences. Just to Georgia's eastern border is Azerbaijan, an Eastern country with Islamic religious influences. Similar to how Takistan borders Chernarus in the ArmAverse. Chernarus borders Russia, and so does Georgia. Now, this would mean that on BIS' map, north would be down, south would be up, east would be left, and west would be right. :eek:

Perhaps this "ArmAverse" is something similar to the world of the older Ace Combat video games?

It was officially stated on youtube by the official BI account that british forces would not be included.
