redrumNL 10 Posted September 4, 2009 Awesome thanks, also gonna use this on Avgani. 1 question, it replaced a key, cant remember for what mod the other key was, but will that still be the same as this key? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schnapsdrosel 0 Posted September 6, 2009 Awesome thanks, also gonna use this on Avgani. 1 question, it replaced a key, cant remember for what mod the other key was, but will that still be the same as this key? You probably have my mercs addon installed, it has the same key, so maybe this one got replaced, but that makes no difference, the files are the same...

IAmMarshicus 10 Posted September 6, 2009 The backpack on the machine-gunner/automatic rifleman is still in woodland marpat. Thought I'd just point that out in-case you forgot about it. Still though, these are really good, and the texture quality look better up close than the Bis ones. xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still though, these are really good, and the texture quality look better up close than the Bis ones. xD I think (and this is more an educated assumption), the WD MARPAT backpacks are used in theatre, in the same way the brits use temperate DPM daysacks/bergens when in afghanistan. Suppose its a money saver... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

schnapsdrosel 0 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I even had a desert marpat texture for the backpack finished, but then I was looking at some reference pics and realised that the USMC don't use it… I don't even now if this version of the backpack exists in real life. However, if anybody wants to check it out I still have an old version with the desert marpat backpack uploaded at rapidshare...

pauliesss 2 Posted September 7, 2009 Well, I personally would like to use it, I really dont like to have desert marpat units with woodland marpat backpack, but thats only my own view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it doesn't look right, too. The main reason I didn't inculde it was, that I thought people would complain that it's not realistic , but you can download the version with the old texture here: Rapidshare.com: Desert USMCs desert marpat backpack version Armaholic.com: Desert USMCs desert marpat backpack version Edited September 8, 2009 by Schnapsdrosel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brainbug 10 Posted September 8, 2009 The camo looks a bit too grey to me, imho it should be a bit more sand colored, as you can see in these pics: http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/8769/051231m8096m012sw8.jpg http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/5648/051231m8096m013hy4.jpg http://www.civiliangunner.com/MARPAT/pages/DesertMARPAT_front_jpg.htm http://media.photobucket.com/image/desert%20marpat/myspacedesigns_military/marines/marines-desert-marpat.jpg http://www.gijoesmilitarysurplus.com/images/desertdigitalbooniehat.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcp 10 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for the awesome skins, it was very much needed. I agree with your original thought on realism. I never saw a desert assault pack even though I just got out of the Marines. However, I heard they have begun issuing entire desert ILBE. They should have used some kind of option for grabbing the bigger files from an ArmA1 install/CD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A-SUICIDAL 11 Posted August 18, 2010 I have both arma 2 and arma 2 oa and I am making a mission that only uses oa stuff, because my friend only has oa stand alone and i want him to be able to play my mission with me. i want to use these units in my mission, but if i do, will my friend who has oa stand alone be able to install these units and play my mission, or would he need to buy regular arma 2 to be able to play? meaning... can these units be used with oa stand alone?
