@M@ster: Where do the rucksack come from? Part of model or an inventory item? Looks like a generic model, but in BoneBoys his soldier isn't carrying a molle.

@BoneBoys: Damn that's some effective camoflage going!!

@Carl

The rucksack is built into some USMC models, the Corpsman have the VTAC RUSH Backpacks I know that, and the AR have the Arc Teryx Charlie Pack. I believe.

Rgr that, thx. Kind of dissappointed though. I was hoping for a lot more flexible rucksack/radio system, even if the functions had to be scripted.

No radio then I assume?...

Whoa, leehy! That third image is absolutely photorealistic!

EDIT: Taking a closer look at that pic, especially the inner corners of the house. Is that Arma2's mythical "hemispheric lighting" in action? Looks like some kind of advanced ambient light-mapping.

Not that I know of, I haven't seen any RTO's yet unfortunately .

Armasan toilet paper Noticed that lighting too. Almost like ambient occlusion at work.

Saw Rommel's pix, are heli and fighter pilots still the same?
I never understood why they made pilots for the camel (in Arma 1) while the helicopter and fighter pilots were the same, strange priorities..

My guess is that the camel plane and the pilot were made by someone applying for a job at BIS. It was a way to show BIS what he could do. I could be wrong, though it would make sense.

And yes, the pilots are the same no matter aircraft.

I believe one of the team members is a WWI aficionado and made it himself for the game. Was in OFP as the only "official" BIS addon, and was included in ArmA and, so I've heard, Arma 2 as standard.

Thanks. It very similar to crysis SSAO applied. But Arma2 look I feel like a 3d shadow
