Desert USMC Units

Recommended Posts

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?

Launch OA standalone (yourself) with the units and see if they work.

They use Arma 2 USMC models, so I don't think they will work in OA standalone.

Clarify my state:

Hopefully I'm not breaking the rules, this last post was 3 months ahead

So, I want to answer some question regarding the Desert MARPAT Backpacks

But I have seen this picture, where the USMC Units do carry Woodland MARPAT Backpacks even they are wear Desert

Picture >100KB ; 908KB

But they don't seem to carry those on missions??

Sorry I don't live in states, so no much idea about USMC or US Army

Umm, is there anything special for installation? I'm using the modfolders method and I'm not seeing any desert USMC units. It's supposed to be under Men -> Desert right? I only have standard men, all I did was change the folder to @Desert_USMCs and ran it, all of the pbo's and stuff are just as downloaded.

Did you create an addons folder so i looks like this @Desert_USMC --> addons --> dessertmarine.pbo ect??

Ahh sorry, stupid mistake, I just typically assume that the download comes ready to install.

nevermind that nevermind, lol, it's just in hidden down where I never look to select units, very tricky good sir...

Is this supposed to change default marines to desert?

I was playing the original ArmA 2 scenarios and I noticed everyone was wearing desert MARPAT :rolleyes:

Okay, I guess I'll switch, thanks brah. The forum link on the Armaholic page that I downloaded from leads to this thread though, so I got confused.

Might I ask why it does that though?

Oh I see, it was the replacement.pbo.

That was present in this pack too though :)

Hi, as not OA user... i preffer to not use the replacement and have the MARPAT(D) Marines as addon units instead as replacement(addon) units, so i can have and use booth depending on the terrain. Let's C ya
