DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS.. It's a trash.. a lot of bugs and in the mission where you are supposed to rescue that dude, no matter what you do, mission will fail at some point. Even killing all the guys, the screen freezes and that's it.. Mission failed screen.. The worst part? THERE'S NO F... WAY TO RESTART FROM A PREVIOUS SAVE.. Once it fails, you have to start all over again, including the helicopter cutscene.. Never seen this before. When a mission fails, you should be able to restore from a previous checkpoint or saving, as ALWAYS IN ANY CAMPAIGN OR SCENARIO... No way to skip the mission, no way to have patience to start all over again making all your saves useless, over and over again.. And this dude never again bothered to provide some support.. That's it.. I'm done with this campaing, it's not worth it

3 mission is not playable I approach a dead journalist according to the plot where a bomb needs to be defused it can't be defused a trigger spawns who knows where it's practically behind the map when I approach the trigger there is no way to defuse the bomb the mine detector didn't even help

It would be cool if he did @Roseru
I'm sure most people would apreciate it if he did
Privateer Blues Aug 31, 2023 @ 5:51pm 
is this discontinued for ever
Roseru Aug 22, 2023 @ 6:31am 
Could you maybe share your source files so people can pick up what you did and finish what is left?

Great remake. Kinda reminds me how poor the campaigns were back in the day.
BIS came a long way since then with things like East Wind, Laws of War, Contact or even Tac-Ops.
yurmlord76 Apr 14, 2023 @ 7:50pm

faut supprimer la mission 4 en hélico elle n'est pas faisable si on ne sait pas piloter
Patrick Vin Dec 15, 2022 @ 6:51pm 
nooo he stoped working on this... wanted to play it further
netguru2k Oct 8, 2022 @ 8:40am 
Anybody know why the original developer discontinued this?
HBAOplus Jul 21, 2022 @ 12:15am 
Hi, could you please add missions from other protagonists' perspective found in ARMA2OA's multi-player mode?
eg. in mission 'Good Morning T-stan', only Howard Drake can be used in SP mode, but in MP, all 4 protagonists were participated in the assault.

@MiG-23 enjoyer
Erm.....In the first mission, open the Blackhawk's inventory and you'll see something beautiful. I don't know about anywhere else because I've been having some difficulties with the 4th mission.

Good luck trying to convince the developer to completely change something just for you. I wouldn't mind if he added an option to use UCPs and switch the SOF's loadouts to early-mid 2000s kits, but that would take some time and resources he could've put into fixing bugs. (I could be wrong about switching that stuff around taking some time)

From what I've read, the developer has some IRL things going on. He is human after all. Just like you and me pal. So give it some time and we'll see.
Woozle Jun 8, 2022 @ 10:37am 
I didn't come here to argue with random people about the geographic location of Takistan (it's in the green sea) or the efficacy of UCP vs Multicam I came to appeal to the mod developer to restore the SCARs and UCP camouflage as in Arma 2 OA.
Stolz Jun 7, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
@MiG-23 enjoyer Then go check out the other remake.

Takistan is apart of the Middle East according to Bohemia Interactive so do what you will with that. It is based off of Iraq and Afghanistan after all. (not trying to be rude, just correcting your mistake)

This is simply a modernized remake, like the Developer said it is. Maybe he'll add an option where you could wear UCPs like the original in Arma 2, but tbh I don't think many will choose that option due to the poor reputation. I can see Army combat vets wanting a bit of nostalgia from their service in the Middle East, so that's the only reason I somewhat agree with you. The thing is I'm not entirely sure they'd want anything to do with UCPs.

I understand your argument, but there is another remake from a different developer that may use UCPs. I'm just gonna stick with this one because I prefer the OCPs over the UCPs. I'd rather blend in a bit more even though it's a video game lol
Woozle Jun 7, 2022 @ 4:23pm 
@pride why would I want to play a remake of an arma 2 campaign without the stuff they use in arma 2, I don't care if it is "effective" or not, also Takistan is not in the middle east it's right across the border from Chernarus.
Stolz Jun 7, 2022 @ 12:30pm 
I went through the comments and I came across someone having the same problem as I with controlling the gunner in the 4th mission. I followed the instructions you gave to him but nothing worked. I'm unable to skip the mission by pressing Shift + Num Minus either unless I'm doing something wrong.

I'm far from an expert, but my only guess is the AI won't always give you full control. When there's a lightly armored vehicle that you want to use the M230 on, the AI will basically tell you no and force you to use the ATGMs. If you try to fight back, the AI will bug out a little which is why it switches to something weird that'll make it sound like you're getting shot at.

Again I'm far from an expert so please correct me if I'm wrong
Stolz Jun 7, 2022 @ 12:11pm 
@MiG-23 enjoyer He did say this is supposed to be a moderized representation and UCP's suck anyways. They don't blend in with anything other than a parking lot. Grey and blue doesn't make sense in the middle east
Woozle Jun 1, 2022 @ 6:15pm 
I really want to play this but I despise multicam and it's really not the proper Arma 2 experience without UCP.
Senator Pantstrong(Wojszach) May 27, 2022 @ 6:14pm 
i could and look how many hours i have
Apocryphox May 27, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
Dude, how can people play with 20 FPS and also enjoying the game?
Great Value May 25, 2022 @ 9:36am 
I love this mod for some reason it’s reminding me of the game Medal of Honor the on that released in like 2009 I think. Just needs a line from on of the soldiers in it sayin that was fuckin ninja after blowing some shit up rofl
JimmyTheEye May 17, 2022 @ 3:12am 
Did you consider switching to 3CB Factions instead of the whole CUP package or is it too much work to redo? 3CB Factions basically have all OPFOR factions from A2 ported but they use RHS weapons. It will be 1 mod dependency instead of 3

I hope to continue working on this one day, but with my personal life getting in the way and Arma 4/Reforger making it's debute I'm not sure yet :(

HBAOplus Apr 4, 2022 @ 6:39pm 
Hi, in CE2: Pathfinder, could you please replace the M1A1TUSK with newly introduced RHS M1A2V2?
MilitaryFamily27 Apr 4, 2022 @ 1:19pm

Будет миссия Борцы за свободу ?
Scuba Steve  [author] Mar 12, 2022 @ 3:52am 
I hope to do those DLC's someday
brufo 🦃 Mar 10, 2022 @ 12:53pm 
respect for sticking to this project so long bro, can't wait to see it finished. do u plan on doing the dlc as well (baf, czech republic, ion, etc.) in the future? although that sounds like a project many years from now anyways. also, do u have a patreon or something of the sorts for support and donations?
Scuba Steve  [author] Mar 5, 2022 @ 3:34am 
@machi.96 There's probably some enemies left then, most likely infantry

@Gopan
I'll look into it
machi.96 Mar 5, 2022 @ 12:55am 
Hi! First of all I want to thank you for a gearat mod!

I have a question about mission 4 open season. I am unable to win the mission, despite having killed the outpost, convoy and AA. When I have killed all the enemy att the defense-line the task is not getting completed. Do you know why? I am supposed to do anything with the armour and infantry units that I can switch to?
Gopan Mar 2, 2022 @ 3:48pm

Bug report on CE5 :

The missions was won a minute after I started it, as if the Air Support AI had destroyed everyone at the airport ^^


the same thing. Just started and 1 task is finished and teleport me to airport hangar.
Scuba Steve  [author] Feb 27, 2022 @ 4:42am 
No clue, working with the time I have
Qexyario Feb 26, 2022 @ 4:41pm 
Do you have an idea when the next update for this mode be?
Scuba Steve  [author] Feb 18, 2022 @ 7:31am 
I'll try and have it fixed asap
Black3agle Feb 16, 2022 @ 2:27pm 
I really did nothing. I was going to give my orders to the AI i was commanding, and then the mission was won.
I saw and heard helicopters flying and fighting above the airport so i presumed they had killed everybody and that a script was launched.

This case occurred twice. I did not try again since.
Scuba Steve  [author] Feb 16, 2022 @ 9:29am 
Did you actually shoot at the Airfield with the artillery or did it fire on itself?
Scuba Steve  [author] Feb 16, 2022 @ 9:25am 
Looking into it
