Yeah the laser doesn't look too good it's just a thin nontransparent green line but effects were never the strong side of ArmA.

Cool thx :)

But the problem with those .it pics is that they are made in low settings and pretty random :/

look this picture for laser ;) http://www.doupe.cz/uploadedfiles/259511490.jpg it's arma 2 AO

I like the use of the 'short range', 'medium range' and 'long range' target designation.

Much easier to comprehend than the 'far'/'not far', it also tells you what kind of tactics you need to use to not get shot (if most of your targets are at short range then you can use your laser instead of your sight, but you better be behind some good cover :p)

I wonder if the lasers have been adjusted so that its not a huge red dot over a large distance

This is not the preview version anymore. This is basically the finished game which is sent out to reviewers so they can write a review of the full product.

this. the game's gone gold 2 weeks ago, so i seriously doubt anybody is writing on the basis of a preview version anymore.

If you check the gameplay video by GamesLife you may notice there are no subtitles at all (no radio chat or story messages).

-Engine Improvments[other then the Beta Patches]

Quoting the big boss,

German copy of Arrowhead can be fully in English, including the content of original Arma 2, as long as you run it from Arrowhead (and honestly, my experience so far is that there is many reasons to play even the original content in Arrowhead and I did not encounter any real problems so hopefully you will have no reason to use the old German only game). We tried to remove as much language restrictions as possible in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead to make it smooth for users with different editions.

On the other hand, there still has to be some limitations present even in Arrowhead. To be specific: Russian and Polish versions still will stay with the respective language locked. The reason is quite simple: those versions will retail for significantly lower price than any other versions because of this limitation.

tl;dr version: Run your copy using the Arrowhead exe and you'll get it in English (or German, as the German copy will have optional English language as well)

Think of Combined Operations as ArmA2:OA with "ArmA2 Original" addon (Islands, units, vehicles, weapons, campaigns, missions). So yes, everything you mentioned should be as it is in ArmA2:OA. The only thing that is unclear is whether the units from the original ArmA2 will be FLIR compatible...

When you have both installed together, you'll only have to load the OA.exe to play which has the content from both games. Why you would launch ArmA2 on it's own if you have OA is beyond me, but I don't think these changes you mention will be in ArmA2 if you launch it on it's own. Somebody can correct me though!
