The scenery in ARMA2 is not adequate for those who like to recreate scenes from the afghan invasion.
Afghanistan is not a dessert, there are many green areas and lots of mountains, the Himalayas start just there, so there is snow as well. Thus the most of the sceneries on the current islands in Arma 2 are not adequate for the afghan conflict, although there seem to be someone creating a more adequate island.
If someone was interested in re-creating scenes from afghanistan and would like ideas, pictures or videos i would suggest them websites such as liveleak , where you can find endless videos of ambushes in afghan valleys carried out from high mountains, based in IEDs, EFPs and RPGs and heavy machine gun attacks.
From the afghan side, the most of the attacks are convoy ambushes and sudden attack on troops and bases with mortars.
From the NATO side, they shoot like mad from the humvees when they get ambushed and call for air strikes. They occupy small villages until they are attacked and have to leave their bases.
Well there is lots of ideas for people skilled in modding who cannot think of any.
In the meantine, for people who like ambush and guerrilla-type games, just remember that the ambient in arma 2 is very good to develop scenes from the conflict in Caucasus, i.e. Georgia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Ichkeria (Chechnya), etc, just need some oil extraction platform and some mosques.
Thus, those who like insurgency-type scenery could concentrate in creating adequate missions and addons for these conflicts until there are more adequate sceneries for the Afghan conflict.
Anyway, writting from the montains in Argun, Ichkeria.
Hope we will carry out together some convoy ambushes in ArmA2 :)
