celery 8 Posted November 27, 2009 Found an amusing article about Kiska on cracked.comfrom http://www.cracked.com/article/208_5-battlefield-screw-ups-that-were-hilarious-until-people-died_p2 Interesting history to this island! "and 47 men vanishing in the dense jungle" Somehow I just don't buy it. :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted November 27, 2009 Just found this - not sure how accurate it is but does seem to corroborate some elements of the story. Dense jungle though - more like dense OP on cracked.com :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) yeah i know, it's a joke article..i kinda doubt he did much research :p most likely the all knowing wikipedia Gunshots, largely friendly fire, killed 24.[citation needed] A Japanese stray mine caused the USS Abner Read (DD-526) to lose a large chunk of its stern. The blast killed 71. Forty-seven troops went missing during the two-day stay on the island and presumably also died from friendly fire. Four other troops had also been killed by landmines or other traps. dunno where the jungle appeared from.. Edited November 28, 2009 by AnimalMother92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stryder88 10 Posted December 6, 2009 ARMA can produce and play much much bigger maps than Chernarus (roughly the same size as that OFP DR game). DR is in the shadow here my friend not the other way around. ;) Thanks, thats really interesting, CM definitely emphasized 'like' it was bigger haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stegman 3 Posted December 17, 2009 any news on this map yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rstratton 0 Posted December 17, 2009 still in development Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clawhammer 10 Posted December 17, 2009 What is planned with the objects on the map? Are you trying to create new models for Trees/Buildings/plants in OFP2 Style or will you use ArmA2 Content? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rstratton 0 Posted December 17, 2009 new content takes a long time to make so prolly not many custom models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stegman 3 Posted December 17, 2009 new content takes a long time to make so prolly not many custom models Yeah just use the arma2 ones mate. No point messing around. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vilas 477 Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks, thats really interesting, CM definitely emphasized 'like' it was bigger haha! yeah in fact propaganda of CM convinced some people Chernarus is bigger than Skira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instagoat 133 Posted December 18, 2009 Totally looking forward to this rendition of the Island. Also to seeing what mission designers will come up with, even though making a campaign with a realistic story is nigh impossible. Especially since Russia and China are allied: all I could think of was a JSDF + USMC vs Russia + China setup. The Russia calls US for help in DR is total alternate-universe quantum leap stuff. The Island really is lovely, though. :> Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadPro119 10 Posted December 19, 2009 I would love to see this island ported to Arma 2! I played the deom and loved the layout of the island! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinghubert 49 Posted December 19, 2009 is there someone working on this island? Only one screenshot on 17 pages?? Hmm.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evion 10 Posted December 29, 2009 It seems that no one worked anymore on this project. Shame because now we have excellent PLA and American addons. We just need the base to demonstrate CM and the rest of the paid journalism/press world, what OFP: Dragon Rising really can be or could be, don't know. Would be a nice side blow against CM.

Master gamawa 0 Posted December 30, 2009 placing objects , another imagination besides mine You don't need imagination. Listen. Our sneaky goal, apart from having fun in your map, is to show them that Arma 2 can run the same map, with better graphics, physics and better gameplay. Just copy their damn island. Really though if this island works someone should remake the DR campaign for Arma2. For science. ...For history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
