armatech 8 Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) While Searching Google today for the old ANN news from arma1 I come across this rather neat informal website that seems to be covering the situations from A2's story in real-time I don’t know who created it. All the info on there is it was created by AAN Network and parent company. Any way here is the link take a look let me know if you find any info out. http://www.aan-online.com/ Share this link around to friends as it’s quite interesting Edited October 9, 2009 by armatech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randir14 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Kind of weird that the oldest news is from October 3rd when the game has been out for months. Maybe it's a trick to make the reader think it's up to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windexglow 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Probably gorilla advertising - a few months late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted October 10, 2009 that a cool site. i like how it mixes the game and real news together maybe some OA info will be released on it some time in the future? (if it is an official site that is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow NX 1 Posted October 10, 2009 Am i the only one that thinks we soon read there about Soldiers going to a certain Fictional Arabic Land to fight Insurgents there? Seems like BIS created another "fake" page to advertise Operation Arrowhead :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derk yall 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Interesting webpage. There is a linkage to real czech News pages (if the language is chernarusian), like novinky.cz and or zpravy.idnes.cz or to english news if the site is set in english This mixing a real and fictional news give it a feel like it was real. :) Seems to me also that we can expect something about arowhead soon.

sbsmac 0 Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) What's even more bizarre is that the site links to real news stories from CNN and that some of the photos had me thinking they were ArmA2 screenshots, further increasing my paranoia! Admittedly I'm a little hung-over this morning but here are two examples that made me squint quite hard....

Fudgeblood 10 Posted October 10, 2009 Very well done site, if someone was to read this and had no knowledge of ArmA 2 I wouldn't be suprised if they thought it was real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_centipede 31 Posted October 10, 2009 yeah... ppl would go like, where the heck is chernarus? green sea? never hear of it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ballistic09 241 Posted October 10, 2009 I love the fake advertisements on the lower left-hand side of the page. Quite funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) I guess this is like the William Porter blog was in Armed Assault, but in a news site form instead. http://www.armedassault.com/william/ It seems kind of late for that though? A2 has been out quite some time, and its hard to care for the A2 story now. Perhaps we will get an introduction to Op Arrowhead in it. That would make sense.

mr_centipede 31 Posted October 15, 2009 Just wondering, never actually played the campagin yet, when does HARVEST RED actually begins? If it happens it october, then it would be no surprised that AAN news only reported it now (so we actually gone to the future and save it eh?) Another question, when does the campagin ends? I think the campagin is only 6days right? Maybe for Razor, but I think the war is far from over... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
