Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

Just a heads up that BIS have released the british forces teaser trailer for now, no sign of challenger tanks though.

No Challenger, yet the Warrior's appear (judging from the turret shape at least) to be the as of yet prototype only upgraded variant. And the troops are wearing the old desert DPM as opposed to the new MTP cammo now being issued.

Don't think the Challengers going to be in it lad, unless they're hiding it somewhere as a surprise just before release :/

There is no Challenger, the British unit's they are selling do not use challenger's.

Xtrema · 21 Aug 2010 at 12:10

Yes they're Warriors. Good to see the Jackal is included, alas not the Jackal 2 though.

all three camos are available in the DLC, both DPMs and the new MTP

no challenger because its supposed to be like operation herrick which has no challengers

Although I must add: "It's squeaky-bum time lads!" LOL.

Xtrema · 21 Aug 2010 at 12:28

Correction. It is the Jackal 2. Difficult to tell from the brief glimpse in the video.

I just did a quick search and it shows them using challenger's with the 1st Royal Tank Regiment currently - but I don't know if D Sqn use them. (The ones currently, or last in op herrick)

Either way OPF/Arma are best known for online play and people make their own missions, I don't care if it's supposed to be like something it would have been nice to shove it in for online play.

plenty of mods if you want a challenger

someone is working on an arrowhead version too

ChrisJSY · 21 Aug 2010 at 16:09

Yeah the group I play with don't use one off mods like that (causes problems), it would have to be part of ACE or an official expansion. Hence my original point in wanting it in this expansion.

Guys I was wondering if you could help me.

I have a problem with ARMA 2, the original, when connecting to servers I get the following message "blah blah blah DOES NOT SUPPORT SERIALIZATION".

It is the steam version of the game, I have tried the verify integrity of game cache trick, but its not worked.

I'd be grateful for some suggestions I could try to fix the problem...thanks.

some of the english accents are L-O-L

Oizu · 26 Aug 2010 at 21:57

waiting for it to unlock on steam, swear it's been saying one hour to go for several hours now

Oizu · 26 Aug 2010 at 22:38

Is up now on steam

Skyrunner · 27 Aug 2010 at 00:07

I've got ARMA2 retail, I'm tempted to get the CO pack on Steam to get OA and pick BAF up aswell, it's annoying I can't buy BAF on Steam to use with my retail copy

I could use one of the other distributors though...

physichull · 27 Aug 2010 at 00:33

Is the British thing free?

From what I've read yes and no. The new units will all be free for use in multiplayer and the like; but more detailed versions of them as well as the singleplayer element to the DLC will be only available to those who pay.

use sprocket, its just buying from BIS direct, dont have to logon or install anything just downloads a single file installer

make sure you patch your game to 1.54 as well!

its pretty good, seems more realistic than the older campaigns,

"its squeeky bum time lads" made me ROFL when I heard it haha
