Jimpy, post whats wrong with them and i will forward the info along. Thanks

For some patience is impossible to acheive. Lets all try and wait for an official video from BIS before offering the harshest of criticisms.

I have known for over a year that ArmA is an upgrade to OFP, everyone expectign to see a brand new game needs to wait for Game 2 to come out and just because you have some helos flying over and outside what appears to be a town in Africa doesnt make the video a BHD rip-off. I like to focus on the positive aspects of what i saw and not the negative ones.

To say that i am impressed would be a huge understatement. They did a proper parajump and i loved how the bridge went down.

We have sayings like: "here they come lads" and "come on you stinkin' jerries" just to quote a couple. I dont want to give too much away. We had some debate over a resistance campaign style 'lose a man and he is gone' but instead we opted to have several different "squads" the guys in your squad for one mission wont neccesarily be the same when you play that unit again.

Yes, exactly like that. Too many missions and campaigns have been made that give you too much freedom. In an actual area of operation you wouldnt have complete freedom to wander wherever you wanted to without there being some type of consequence.

In the campaign if you stray too far away from the area you are supposed to be in you will quickly become an easy target for a jerry sniper

To answer some questions, Phase 1 is for OFP the rest will be for ArmA, im also holding out hope that we can easily port phase 1 to ArmA as well. We have plenty of ambience, you will notice when you first start it will be quiet with the exception of some birds and crickets but as the fight heats up you will hear distant MG fire and Artillery. But then you guys alreay knew how important atmosphere/immersion is in my work

So the Dutch res are BIS civies with an armband...if you put one on? Yep, unless someone wants to make a new avatar for the Dutch Resistance, but seeing as they are not playable in the campaign and just added for story purposes i dont see it happening.

The C-47's have a straange bug that when they are carrying troops the gear is down i dont know if this will be fixed before release but i am certainly not going to hold it up just for that. I will try to get someone to do the arm band for the dutch resistance but we are basically a 5 man operation at this point.

Once the campaign is finished a release will be close on its heels. I am trying to get it finished ASAP. I know it's been a long time coming but we have not been as fortunate as other mods have been in staying busy, we have been plauged with people joining and disappearing or quiting when mistakes in their work were pointed out to them. Basically 5-6 guys have been doing everything for the last few months now. It is because of these few that the mod didnt die as we refuse to let it and are dedicated to getting this done.

Yes, the gliders will not crash, they will quickly land and come to a halt so all the Brits can hop out and start  I would like to have new civs but the Dutch res do not play a large part in the campaign so its gonna be BIS civs for now.

The Dakota will crash upon landing when it runs out of fuel the Horsa will glide to a safe landing. Also, the glider will not slowly lose altitude it will immediately make a landing a plane without fuel will slowly lose altitude and attempt to land but it will crash.

They are gliders, if they were planes without fuel they would all just crash.

Some more: British Gliders detach and prepare to land The 1st paras arrive A member of the Dutch resistance watches the 1st jumps Greetings from Wolfheze, Sunday, 17-Sept-1944.

Here are a bunch of new screens from the campaign which is about 3/4 finished now. Click the pics to see the full size ones. Elements of the 9th SS panzers move in to reinforce British paras entering Oosterbeek Field Marshal Models HQ German officers discussing strategy (Model will be changed to Wehrmacht, i promise)

Too much time + No sex = dumb shit like that. We will be back up soon once we finish moving. in the meanwhile enjoy some of this: Lookie Lookie peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat

Tinitoon please come to the I44 forum voice thread as the german translation of the radio commands has been a subject of great debate for a while now and since i do not speak german i cant contribute anything to it.

Just a reminder that we are still looking for people to lend a voice to the campaign, we are in need of: British, Irish, Scottish, Welsh & Dutch accents as well as German speakers. Send me a PM if interested or stop by the I44 forum, voice acting thread here

Please dont turn this info thread into a hate/flame fest. I never claimed to be better than anyone else nor did i claim that I44 was a better mod than anyone else's. You like FDF? good for you, i like them too. Did i ever say that OURS is the only WW2 mod, no. I said we will continue to bring OUR vision, this doesnt take away from anyone elses vision. It simply means we will continue to bring OUR vision to this engine, its really very simple. Please stop trying to make something out of my comments that are just not true. If anyone wants to make missions with BIS units and then switch them to the finished addons of a particular mod, go right ahead. Personally before i commit myself to making a campaign i want to see the addons getting finished first so i dont end up with a WW2 campaign full of 1985 units because the mod folded. If anyone has a problem with the way I44 goes about its business then dont play with the mod when its released, i already said we are not trying to win a popularity contest. This thread is for INFO not for starting flame wars or spreading rumors and lies.

Whether 40 people or 40,000 people play it after its released we really dont care, we are not commited to releasing it simply to win a popularity contest. We all share the same vision and level of commitment to get it done that just the accomplishment of finishing and releasing it will be satisfying, of course an appreciative mass audience makes it feel even better the core of us still here from the demo and before just want to see the fruits of our labor finished. Invasion 1944 has undergone many changes (leadership and concept) but through it all a core group has stuck it out and remained commited to making a mod of the highest quality while taping into a part of history (Holland, not ww2 in general) that is rarely explored. With the upcoming release of ArmA and hoepfully with the new game comes an influx of new talent we will further realize our vision and commitment to bringing WW2 to the game engine we have all come to love. Thanks for sticking with us and im glad you are enjoying our little treats while the big one gets its final touches applied Â

The animations will be included, thats just something i didnt even think of including as i was making the vid.

Im glad you like the vid, here are the specs from my PC and the game settings while i recorded it with FRAPS. Computer Used: P4 3.0 ghz w/1024MB RAM FX 5200 card with 64MB RAM (although it could be 128, but i doubt it) Game Specs: 1024x768 screen resolution Terran detail: Normal Visual Quality: all the way up 11.23 Frame Rate: all the way up 20.40 View Distance: 1008 Refresh Rate: 60hz all options enabled except wbuffer @Salvatore: I never even thought of showing off the anims, sorry.
