PR:ARMA 2 - Highlights Reel #2 (Part 2)

[jakob1493]

dead dog bomb? sounds good

[spawncaptain]

Panther will also be used as the Commander's vehicle for Engineer Troops, Anti-Tank, Mortar and supporting fire platoons.

Yay, a realistic TO&E, finally. No longer will we have an unorganised mess like in PR:BF2.

Yeah, now you can have "realistic" unorganised messes

A real TO&E is a great idea though and I can't wait to see it in full effect.

Dead Dog Bombs....sweet

Need Part 3!

Need Part 3!

[dyson20]

already got arma2 and have some money to get either a keypad for my ps3 or operation arrowhead but i think this has just made my mind up arrowhead it is

[Wolfguard]

Looks promising!

But isn't the steering wheel supposed to be in the right side of the vehicle in the British Panther?

And I can't believe there's no protective windshield on the Jackal 2, just like some of their Land Rovers. The Brits are crazy! Anyone who knows the reason behind this?

[Claymore]

That "coming soon" part drivers me crazy. Hooray! :m1helmet: :m1helmet: :m1helmet:
Does this mean that we will see Jackal and Panther in some of the next releases of BF2 R as well?

I'm ready. I'll kill the patient bear if I have to.

[eddie]

Fantastic work as always guys. Hopefully ArmA2's engine has given you more room to exercise your talent. We'll see

The Panther is based on the Iveco LMV, an Italian vehicle. I imagine the MoD decided it was simply not worth it/too difficult/costly to change the steering wheel and other associated parts.

One of the armoured guys may be able to answer better than me but I believe the idea behind not having a windscreen (which will need a much more solid, bulky frame) is to increase driver and commander visibility. Oh yes, and the GPMG might get in the way. Be a shame to break the windscreen for every first shot fired while out on patrol/ops



Quick question, will we get a GMG version of the Jackal for Infantry recce formations?

[Konfusion2113]

I'm excited to see what PR bring to arma in terms of the teamwork table. they aready have a good game with arma alone, but the teamwork on comms and squads as a collective never really made it. i've been playing regular arma alot these days, tweaking stuff to get use to the ARMA PR, and i'd have to say i've gotten better at BF2 PR because of it.

[Rezza]

Patient Bearing and waiting for Part 3!

[UK_Force]

Jackal will come in both variants Yes.

Jackal has no windscreen as we are all Hard as Nails ..... Simple.


Panther is left handed as was stated, it was a direct purchase for the MOD, and they are all left handed.

No beverage holder?!?

[ghostfool84]

IED looks a kind of big, or its a real big Motorolla phone.

But other screens look great cant wait to play it.

[Deadfast]

I got annoyed when on the first part it said you need "Arma2 Combined Operations" coz i just went out and bought Arma2 a week ago for this mod and now i found out i got wrong one

You didn't get the wrong one, you're just missing the other half now
If you install Operation Arrowhead on top of ARMA 2 the installation will turn into Combined Operations.

[Dredge]

No beverage holder?!?

The one pictured is the base model. The "Deluxe" has two cup holders, AC, and power windows....all for low monthly payments of $750 for the next 10 years

[Brainlaag]

You have made a wise investment, as you need ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead. Combined Operations just gets you them both. So now all you need is OA

Yeah but ArmA II alone costs around 40$ + Arrowhead around 35$. Combined Operations costs only 45$. So you can say he threw 30 bucks out of the window

[UK_Force]

No beverage holder?!?

Thats because its the British using it .....lol.

If it was a US purchase it would have 2, and a microwave, Sony Radio, Reverse parking sensors, cruise control, built in SAT NAV/TV, central locking, electric windows and a free set of Panther floor mats made from 100% wool.
