http://www.arma2.com/game-features/arma-2-operation-arrowhead-british-armed-forces-features_en.html ...

+ there is MP friendly solution
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1693206#post1693206 )

+ engine related updates will be available to everyone
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1693590&highlight=engine#post1693 590 )

+ as the storyline is set into 2012, design decisions were made about equipment
+ fully new voice protocol with native speakers and various accents (~2+)
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1693323&postcount=97 )
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1693227#post1693227

+ BAF content is newly made
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1694308#post1694308 )
* while some models may base off some of our own models the result is new model not just some re-skin

+ the design and create phase for BAF was completely separated from Operation Arrowhead
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1694020&postcount=353 )
* thus any claims that this content was left out of OA are completely wrong and misleading

+ BAF will be available for purchase from Sprocket, STEAM and some other yet unannounced sources
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1693244&highlight=steam#post16932 44 )

+ pricing differences for regions explained:
(read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1693836&highlight=price#post16938 36 )

and now some hint from me :
+ the BAF campaign is longer than EW mini-campaign delivered with 1.05 for free

and of course naive is the one who think that's all ...
