Gas masks are standard issue, and are supposed to be with the soldier in combat.

I like how everyone's bashing Armstrong for suggesting including CW, while not knowing that NBC defense is a highly important part of soldier training and absolutely essential (like it or not) if you're going to call any future game a "infantry sim".

Feel free to code some un-lame AI then He shouldn't have to.

Just like arma was, right?

At first I didn't think it was an Aprils fools joke because it's not unlikely that it could it happen.

I'm sure most of you know the SP demo was released a month ago, but only on CDs that came with several magazines. Will the SP demo ever be available to everyone else?

I'm assuming BIS is working primarily on the 505 update right now, but is it reasonable assume that the SP demo will released after that?

You know that's not a substitute for the real thing. We need a mission like "ambush" from the original OFP demo. The quality of that particular mission is what drew a lot of people to OFP in the first place.

Since there are many soldiers (and players who would like to represent themselves as such) who wear glasses, what do you guys think about seeing them in mods (if possible) or in a future version of Arma? And let's not forget about sunglasses...

This guy just copy and pasted some mod read-me.

Maybe it's because sometimes we don't want our videos to look like crap?

Congratulations to the OFP brothers! You guys deserve a vacation after this!

The VDV was strictly airborne(it's part of the name after all); air assault was done by the DShB . I don't think I've ever heard of the VDV deployed with regular army units, unless they were assigned to defend a convoy or something of that nature(which they would operate independently when doing).

Jesus, why is everyone thrashing Sled88 so hard? Right now, most of you guys are sitting around criticizing, and not actually creating anything; something to keep in mind while you sit on your high horses. The Conspiracies series was intended to be an immersive experience, pushing OFP to its graphical and emotional limits. I personally think he succeeded in that goal, especially since no one else has bothered bringing the STALKERS experience to OFP...

Hey Sled, some one already made an arma solider it's part of this pack Here's the download: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=7763

Yes, the disappearing swamps will be removed. The cities will not change Hey, the cities were really good when they first came out.

NEW?! Been around since 1975 according to this source right here... Edit: I hope that the ninja unit gets converted to ArmA since it has some cool features that won't be implemented by default for units. I think swimming isn't planned to be implemented in ArmA by default - I think it was asked once to a dev of ArmA and he stated that swimming wouldn't be implemented by default - don't remember where I read that, though... It was just a matter of speaking

Underwater rifles? Then I'd like to show you the Russian's new underwater APS rifle. http://warfare.ru/?lang=&catid=275&linkid=1826 Video: http://warfare.ru/?catid=275&linkid=1826&video=true&id=135 And of course, the pistol version SPP-1 http://warfare.ru/?lang=&catid=275&linkid=1827

Because it would be unfortunate to be doing night ops and realize that you have no choice but to give away your position using visible light, even though IR lights are bolted right next to them.

The links

Well what I was on about is that all this IR beacons and lights only give you an advantage when the other side doesn't have IR sights. But seing there are IR lights on rather old russian equipment it would actually have the opposite effect and give your position away very easily. Because when you're into realism you'd have to give the US side more modern thermal sights that don't use IR lights to illuminate but rather capture natural heat signatures. That way the US side can use thermal sights to find those glowing IR searchlights without giving their own position away. While the IR for the northern forces would be a disadvantage rather than an advantage. EDIT: Although I agree it would be great to have the feature in the game Well see the alternative is that the Northern forces wont have any night time ability at all. With IR they can least "do" night ops.

It's not a targeting system, it's just a flashlight greatly shifted towards the red part of the spectrum so that shines in the infrared. And since people can't see IR light it makes it useful for night time illumination. Here's a photo of an IR light taken through an IR sensitive camera; it's just like a flashlight except you can't see it through the naked eye. So it's basically like an invisible flashlight; animals aren't disturbed either, so it could be a good feature for Arma.

Thank you for the great mod! But I have a single question; have you ever considered replacing replacing the arms and heads? Just like those found in the latest orcs motorstrelki release- you could probably ask them and they'll give you the hand model, and you can always get the head from llauma. What do u think?

With a range of only 3500 meters, the TOS-1 is a direct fire system only, outside the scope of UA.
