Welcome to the first of what will be a number of PR:ArmA2 Highlight Reels over the next week or so.

Apologies for keeping the community waiting a long time for this second installment. Things have been pretty hectic with the team, as you will see. As a thank you for your patience, we will be releasing a bumper number of Highlight Reels over the next 7-10 days, to show you all that the team is still beavering away at PR:ArmA2.

Since our last update, the team have been concentrating and testing on our main focus - its dynamic gameplay for PvP. During this time we have lost a few members of our team due to personal reasons, and we all wish them luck in the future. The PR door is always open to them, as they know. We have had to shuffle around some of our work load, and some of our intial concepts are currently on hold for future releases.


- Important Engine news

With the recent release of Operation Arrowhead and its good reviews, we have now had the chance as a team to evaluate it. We have come to the conclusion during the evaluation that this is the preferred engine and environment to be used. As such, we wish to officially announce that PR:ArmA2 will require Combined Operations in the future.

Combined Operations means: Both ArmA2 & OA as 'separate' installs or Combined Operations bought as one package.


- Current Ongoing Work

As we initially mentioned, our main focus is on gameplay with a minimal British Faction. The reason for this being we need to take everything one step at a time, to ensure our gameplay is sound. This element alone is what PR is best known for. Testing so far has proven a lot of concepts, and we now have testers reporting back that it now "feels like PR", which is exactly what we are aiming for. Although not 100% complete, and some still only concepts here are our possible current game modes:

- AAS
- Attack & Defend - (one directional AAS/front-line flow)
- Command & Control
- Skirmish
- Insurgency

We'll be showcasing more in the future about gameplay with a dedicated Highlights Reel concentrating on this one subject at a later date, this will answer all your gameplay questions we hope. A selection of screenshots are shown below of our most recent work with the OA engine.

I like how unexciting those screenshots look. I guess I'm going to have to skip on PR:Arma2 now because I won't buy Operation Arrowhead.

Operation Arrowhead is 10x better then ArmA2, and the reason your gonna need Combined arms... well considering ArmA 2 has Russian units... think about it. Its well worth the money, its like a whole new game, and when you combine them both its just mind blowing the amount of content you get.

OA = 30€; CO = 40€ at Sprocket.
You can either one way more cheap elsewhere.

Good looking update!

When was the first ArmA 2 : PR trailer released was there Arrowhead back then what do you think they build the mod on before Operation Arrowhead?

Looks great, would have been better to base the mod on OA "which has greater quality stuff and more Afghanistant related content" only though. Now not only those who bought A2 prematurely for PR will be mad but also those who bought none. :o ops:

Feels good to have both already, can't wait !! :razz:

Why they should be mad since it requires both Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead?

Because Combined Operations is a 24 pack of beer more expensive than OA alone. :40_swig:

Remember that Arma 2 comes with 2 other maps that PRA2 can use as well along with the loads of other models/units.
