@ Flash Thunder To be honest, I think they were planning to put more stuff into DLC, but with the problems that are going on between IW and Activision, and the possibility of Activision taking over the MW franchise and hand it over to some other gaming studio, It just seems like its taken away the focus of IW on MW2, so they just decided to stuff it, and just put 3 new maps that probably took them few weeks to develop, and 2 ready made from COD4, I also read somewhere that Activision hasn't paid IW any money yet from the profits of MW2, the whole thing just sound a bit messed up, I am pretty sure that IW arent happy with the price tag, but they have no control over it

its $15 not $5

and since when did gamers charge for DLC?? COD4's DLC was for free, why charge us now? they've already charged us extre $10 for the original game, and now they're charging us an extra $5 for this map pack, and for what? for only 3 new maps!! and btw I mentioned "as an Arma fan" because Arma fans always brag about how BIS supports the community and gives away free content, unlike Activision and EA etc

There are 5 maps, 3 new ones, 2 from COD4 (they improved the graphics/texture in them) So your mate saying most are from Mw1, isnt exactly correct ---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ---------- I dont know to be honest, Robert Bowling the community manager said he doesnt know if Activision will charge the PC version but if you want my honest opinion, I think they will charge for it, because Activision is a money hungry corp, if they dont, I would be surprised ---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ---------- Am surprised to see an Arma fan defending Activision for charging this?:confused:

Worth the $15? NOT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaN8q8FvS3s&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gnj5Vg0LQA

I dont need you to name the flaws in my comment, Its my opinion, whether you like it or not! ---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ---------- I think you need to check the first posts on the release date:)

All am saying is, Arma will not make BIS a lot of money, and so people will keep coming up with this excuse "oh they dont have enough money and resources to be big and successful"

It made more sales because people had higher expectations, but nearly everyone who bought it at the start, said it was unplayable

The way to secure a multi-million development budget is too late now BIS should have learnt from their mistakes with Arma1, but no, they released their second product even worse than the first one, Arma2 was simply a failure, people who bought it, either got rid of it, or broke it out of frustration DICE worked their a$$ off to produce an excellent product, and I am sure BIS does too, but I dont know, maybe they lack enough expertise! Now try convincing people that OA will be better than the previous versions, you will be claiming a mountain One last thing to mention, is that gamers love PvP multiplayer, which Arma lacks, or lets say, the Arma community just doesn't seem to be interested in, you're forced to join a clan and play at a certain time, mainly weekends Arma will never make you enough money to move on, BIS has to invest from its own money, develop a whole new MilSim game, with a different name (Arma has a very bad reputation now) and YES that means starting from scratch, I dont care if they takes another 5 years to make the new one, they have no choice But then again, we are not BIS's main customers, they dont relay on us to make money, so I doubt they will listen

2.3m sales

Why dont you use the Arma 2 default map and save your time then? with a bit of desert spots around? in fact I think thats whats happening anyway looking at the trailer

Can someone please explain to us what that means? "Environment designers started experimenting with the mountain forests.":confused:

there is a lot of grass and trees, it doesn't look like afghanistan does it!!!

I would have preferred a different map than Afghanistan (since BI is making one already), maybe Somalia? we could play the events of 1993 in Mogadishu (black hawk down) would love that, you know, something else for a change!

April or May will do me:D btw, looking at the video (graphics) do you guys think the system requirement will stay the same?

But we all know its based on Afghanistan, plus it will give the game a lot of publicity:)

I wish the SP campaign to include a mission in which we have to capture Bin Laden? btw, who will be the resistance force? and what are they called?

I dont think its a good trailer all we saw was some troops walking down the road, tells you alot about Arma's more walking than shooting style hardly saw any game play, any shooting, any battles, but I guess the trailer was more about showing the map/atmosphere/environment, than actual gameplay still have to wait and see

why design this map when you know BIS is releasing OA?

Battlefield fans hammering Arma in a new thread http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc/964490-first-arma-2-operation-arrowhead-trailer.html

I noticed the sound is still the same!

Oh sorry, I didn't read the video description, I never do, dunno why lol

btw is "Alliance forces deploy" part of the game title? I thought it was just Arma 2: OA

when did they release the Trailer? I haven't seen this thread for a week!

They have to release the Mod early, cause OA will be out soon too I mean they should've picked something else other than Afghanistan and the Taliban since BIS is already working on that, but am not sure if the PR team knew about it before!
