Operation Arrowhead: The questions and answers thread

BI :notworthy:

Once again the boys from BI have taken the goal posts and thrown them into another state.

Thanks to Wolle for posting the questions up. I now have that annoying problem that always comes when BI announces something new...I CANT WAIT :bounce3:

ISAF, Apaches, ACUs, Arabic signs, IOTVs, Airborne units, Desert M1A2s, SCARs, and Chinooks?

I think this sums up the feeling :D

OMG hes holding the foregrip IN HIS HAND PROPERLY!!!

Wohohooo, I see some really cool Apache MFD's!

Since it's a Longbow model, I'm looking forward to see how the devs designed the targeting "persicope" ... the ability to switch Hellfires from LOBL to LOAL would also be perfect, there's nothing like firing a missile in the air and destroy a target on the other side of the mountain :p

Looking forward to it! :)

This ... is ... awesome ... thank you BI.

There is only one thing I see to be implemented that would make ArmA the greatest game of all time, an armour penetration system, but until that day I'll be quite happy with FLIR and a flashlight :D

Can't wait, great news.

Edit: Just saw the pictures, words alone ... cannot describe ... how awesome ...

Edit2:

I think this sums up the feeling :D

Haha, yeah, my thoughts exactly.

I don't think I can wait for this to be released!

I need it NOW! :D

I'm VERY pleased with what I have seen. Thanks BIS for being the true kings of military sims and making such amazing games!

Brilliant! can't wait :D

Holy $$$$! I havn't been this excited for a game in such a long time! This looks so awesome!!

70 square km of extremely realistic environment including full areas of dense urban CQB conflicts.

So does that mean the AI's CQB fighting abilities have been improved. Sure they are OK now but Dense?! (And one of those screens looked really dense!)

Seriously BIS, you dont get praised enough... this is truly remarkable.

edit 1: Haha! they are including the UH-1H!

hopefully we'll see the equivalent of BAS's OFP MH-60L in game with fast roping and everything.

edit 2: Is the voice acting gonna be more priceless this time around?

Fullres gallery of screens + vehicle images. Not sure if this has all been posted already - putting it here to be safe. Note that these are watermark-free and fullres - simply right click on each to 'view full image' and they're suitable for framing etc. ;)

Enjoy.

[dingyisun 10]

I just fixed my jaw...those screens were freaking AMAZING.

:don7:

Can't wait for the release.

[Guest]

Omg best graphics ever.

This is nuts.

Who needs christmas when you have bis-mas!

[sniper pilot 36]

Thanks Dslyecxi! Again Truly Amazing!

Though I dont know much about FLIR, but how do you counter it? Im pretty sure you cant in real life... So I guess the OPFOR are screwed :D

holy fucking shit!

Cannot wait!

Some of it kinda looks like some old american western towns. Probably the pine trees and all the wood in the buildings gives that impression.

It all looks great but personally I prefer the look of something like the Rhazani map or Avgani.

[sniper pilot 36]

Helo Pic On the side of that chopper does that say Czech Airforce? Sweet, I see their putting their home-team in the mix!

Players will face some fierce battles and tough choices in this new conflict, coming to your PC in 2010

WTF 2010? thought it was this year to battle with OFP-DR

i think the countryside will be kind of similar to Razani

More screenshots please! Can't wait for the Gold Edition!

[dxfan01 10]

2010 my ass

[Guest]

Wow.

Seriously, if the game turns out nearly as good as it looks, BIS need to be hailed as the best developers ever.

I told you it was true! Look at the last question, i asked that and didn't get an answer. It's because i was right! Arma 2 was a distraction, they have been workin on this all along!

Long live BIS!

:D:D:D:D

By the way, you all seem to forget its late 2009. 2010 is not that far off...

[Sgt. Krapgaim 0]

2010 my ass

has the site got it wrong?

2010 release date it says! omg. hope it's wrong.

[Patrol17 10]

I hope it comes in 2010. I've barely scratched the surface of Arma2 yet. It gives me some more time :p

lets hope so i cant wait that long...i nearly died when i saw those amazing screens

[BF2_Trooper 0]

Looks like we finally get a Chinook at last! You know, I can't recall any recent military shooter that let you pilot a Chinook. Not even BF2, or BF: Vietnam. Also, I hope Blackhawk Down mission makers/modders are paying attention to this expansion!
