If its seriously only 7 or so missions, Then i hope they've spent alot of their time working out the compatibility between arma 2 and arrowhead, I know its an expansion, but i cant help but feel that the work people have done over the last year or so is going to be wasted.

There's no reason to think that most mods are going to have any major problems, quite the opposite. It should be only if they come in conflict with the specific new features of Arrowhead, and even then I'd imagine it won't take long to get them working.

One thing I would definitely like as DLC is things like that replay viewer that VBS2 has, being able to review a past game with such great fidelity would definitely be worth a bit of cash to me.

Haven't seen this feature but I would love to see something like this in Arma. Even just a dynamic "last 10 seconds of your life" cam from both yours and your enemies viewpoint with some dramatic music and groovy camera angles would be pretty sweet. It's always been a little anti-climatic when you've been totally engrossed in tactical movement and have invested 30+ minutes in a SP mission when Blammo! your shot dead out of the blue - doesn't really give you that "oh, I f*cked up there" feeling as you generally have little idea what happened and where you went wrong.

Replay would cap an entertaining story-telling ending to the SP mission and probably good training footage for the Clans MP.

We dont know how long these 7 missions are though, the A2 campaign missions was long and with multiple objectives.

I also wonder how many scenario missions there are?

A killcam would be fine as long as it is easily turned off on a sever level and readily accessible to do so. In multiplayer adversarial missions with respawn, a killcam kills the realism a bit by giving away your enemies position!

In most of the missions it wouldn't matter as your respawn is too far to do anything about it^^

i am serious. Any screen from an unreleased BI game is a good screen.. I remember cycling through the ArmA 2 screenshots at least every week when it was unreleased :D

anyway, dwarden says there is a new trailer coming out very soon, (in the next hour??) so maybe that's the real surprise..

OGG is referring to the Official Game Group, the game's official group on Steam. The event was to reach 4000 and 500 members in the A2 and OA groups, respectively.

Not if you can report that position you saw on the kill cam to one of your living teammates still in that area.
