hamm 10 Posted May 31, 2010 One thing I don't understand; why would a localized "Defense Force" be deploying troops on peacekeeping missions overseas? Especially when they can't keep the peace in their own nation? Just sayin' For money of course. And if more soldiers die, that's more money for the state.

Nikolov 10 Posted May 31, 2010 One thing I don't understand; why would a localized "Defense Force" be deploying troops on peacekeeping missions overseas? Especially when they can't keep the peace in their own nation? Just sayin' Is Chenarus and Takistan's time line the same? You don't think the CDF have dealt with the ChDKZ insurgency?

Laqueesha 474 Posted May 31, 2010 You don't think the CDF have dealt with the ChDKZ insurgency? But still, a localized "Defense Force" usually does not deploy troops to foreign countries on peacekeeping deployments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lhowon 10 Posted May 31, 2010 But still, a localized "Defense Force" usually does not deploy troops to foreign countries on peacekeeping deployments. Just stop! They do, frequently. Our New Zealand "Defence Force" does exactly that. Chernarus has a strong parallel with Georgia, and guess what, so do they. In Afghanistan no less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) They do, frequently. Our New Zealand "Defence Force" does exactly that. Maybe you missed the part where I was talking about a localized defense force which can't even keep law and order in its own country, let alone another's. For example, in the early years of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, they were in a similar situation, confined to the islands of Japan and not permitted to be deployed abroad. Just stop! Boo-hoo. Want some cheese with that whine? Edited May 31, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted May 31, 2010 So much for the Arrowhead Q&A being answered on the 30th :plain: we'll then post the answers May 30th all being well, obviously we cannot guarantee that all questions will be answered, it depends on how many there are and on what subjects they cover etc. etc. Hope we'll know soon, there were some good questions on the discussion page.

If you aren't thick you're certainly fooling me. What does "localized" even mean? All "defence forces" are localised in the sense that their primary mission is to defend their territory. In the real world, not the one you seem to be making up, they frequently take part in peacekeeping operations, and there are direct monetary incentives for doing so regardless of the stability of their country. And in case you hadn't noticed Georgia was invaded by Russia in 2008. If ArmA 2 hadn't been designed before that event it would have looked like BI directly copied it - the parallels could hardly be stronger, save for US involvement. And guess what? They currently deploy troops to Afghanistan despite that. This is after the South Ossetia war, just as OA is after the events in ArmA 2. It makes perfect sense for CDF troops to be involved in a UN peacekeeping mission. Boo-hoo. Want some cheese with that whine? Do try to deal with being completely wrong in a mature manner.

Lhowon 10 Posted May 31, 2010 tl;dr I honestly don't know why you even bother posting here. You clearly aren't interested in constructive (or even just interesting) conversation, and the majority of your posts are tiny, inane and pointless.

Laqueesha 474 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Nice PC Gamer interview :)Found new interview also: http://www.gamingnexus.com/Article/Arma-II-Operation-Arrowhead-Interview/Item2656.aspx It talks bit more about backpack system. Good find. :D New preview by Armedassault.info, says it focuses on the new stuff not in the mags etc. http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=1&cat=articles&class=articles&id=43 Nice screenshots there, good work. ;) spanish preview:http://www.eurogamer.es/articles/arma-ii-operation-arrowhead-avance Can somebody who speaks Castillian be kind enough to give us a brief rundown of the preview? Internet translators can be somewhat unreliable these days. I honestly don't know why you even bother posting here.

Laqueesha 474 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Its been noted that OA main towns have similar performace woes as Chernagorsk I hope this isn't the case in the release version, nor as bad as the performance bugs in Chernagorsk. I don't think we all need a run-down of that again. ;) *shudders* Edited May 31, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a little carried away there. Though food would be nice in Operation Arrowhead, preferably in the form of MREs and a hunger system. Nah, just kidding. ;) Edited May 31, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fox '09 14 Posted May 31, 2010 oo thanks faces look great. I hope they include the M14 with the good ol ironsights. I believe i saw an m60 somewhere, can anyone confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) oo thanks faces look great. Indeed they do. If I recall correctly, the developers have increased the texture and model quality of the character faces in Operation Arrowhead across the board, similar to the level of Razor Team in the "vanilla" ArmA 2. I hope they include the M14 with the good ol ironsights. I believe i saw an m60 somewhere, can anyone confirm? I remember seeing an M14 (or a similar derivative variant) in some screenshots, with a mounted optic. As for the bare-bones M14, I don't recall seeing it, but it would probably be in Operation Arrowhead, as an "optic" variant is already included. ;) Edited May 31, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
