ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread

[cjsoques]

To be fair, it was on the top of the thread list, so why create a whole new thread about the expansion when it was right there...no searching required

4players.de says it´ll be a stand-alone .... ... i´m missing the right words

Different people in the team work on different things. I doubt this will interfere much with tools and bug fixing. My main concern however is that they say new features... I really don't want to see any new features until BIS polishes the existing ones.

Still I don't think you can make an expansion with only 3d artists and texturists. Someone still has to bring those models ingame...

EDIT: Well is somehow reasuring to see an official statement that BIS can handle both game without making compromises.

Any ideas who will be the enemy?

I'm sure they've got that covered. However it does seem that they plan to work on the the core engine with this expansion. That will effect ArmA II patches... whether for good or bad I can't be sure, as surely any fixes/improvements they make in the expansion will also be implemented into original ArmA II.

I hope so The setting sounds great, the optics look well on the first screenshots. I like it! I buy it!

Optics?

Limited resource + Expansion Pack = Less effort to get the engine bugs solved.

Engine Bugs = Coding Team
Expansion Pack = Art team + more money for Coding team and support for game.

Not necessarily. They mentioned further developing the engine with the expansion. Ready me above posts.
