Does OA include anything from the original ArmA 2?

[Bacon1 10]

I have both games and I know I can combine them but does OA by itself include anything (islands, units etc.) from the original or is it all new stuff?

Easy and short answer: NO

Units that were in ArmA II also got a rework to a higher standard (T-72 or BMP2 comes to mind), so it's in no way the same anymore...old maps are not included.

So what you are saying is, it does include the old units but they are improved?

No old units in OA. No russians no USMC and all UN-CDF are new units.

Oh OK, I think i'll install both games then. Thank you for your help.

If you're asking for technical reasons, then other than a few (modified) base classes (UAZ_Base, T72_Base, BMP2_Base etc.) and some weapons (AK74, AKM, RPK etc.) there's no common classes.

One last question, if I install both games will the content of both then show up in the mission editor in OA?

Seems like there are some specific civs from base ArmA2 accessible in OA in the "Special" category. Probably a couple of specific units they needed for the OA campaign.
