Anoik has informed the community on the BI Forums about the release of an interview with Ivan Buchta at Gameru.net. Here is the translation of this interview from Russian by Raphier and you can read an extract down here : .... Gameinator: Will you play the campaign provided in the form of dynamic events that depend on the player performance or will the campaign be static, as in scripted, once player starts doing different jobs?
Bohemia Interactive: To preserve the opportunity to tell the story of the game, we have built a line in the campaign, but the player is always given a freedom to choose how he wants to perform the mission. For the plot of the game, there are moments when the decision of the player determines how the situation will continue to evolve. In the story there are several endings, and the actions of the player, starting within the first mission, starts already to influence the determination of the story ending.
Bohemia Interactive: The player will have a support and the chance to win, but as a the whole concept, it differs from campaigns of Armed Assault. ARMA 2 gameplay is more dynamic, so we have decided to do so: to give every mission 'player' a range of toys and send them in a personal voyage, to give everyone the opportunity «to play a game». When the situation allows, the player will get the access to various support options: a transport helicopter, artillery or aerial support. Later, when the player will fight for the mastery of the map, a pilot using all his resources and support may give you a crucial chance of victory. For example: you may be a tank platoon, but you can send it to patrol around the base or support troops advance in battle.
Gameinator: Is it possible to pass the campaign in the cooperative mode?

Two new addons have been released on Armaholic.com. The first addon was made by Conor1994 and Calm Terror and it is the Meko 200 and Meko A100 Corvette. The second addon is a realism one called PBDC500 which will add a new sniping reticule for ACE M24/40 & M110 (SD).
Meko 200 and 100 Corvette: This addon will be part of the Arma Naval Warfare Mod (ANWM).
ConnorSG1 and Calm Terror have been working a ship pack for Arma for some time now. We both have been working inside PRACS and still are but there is some stuff we have been working on personally. There are many ships and add-ons within this pack but the first will most likely be the smaller ships then moving onto the larger ships. I can almost guarantee that this mod will be expanding on the limits of the Arma engine in many ways most notable expanding on the number of turrets on one single add-on and the VLS abilities of the engine. PBDC500 : Major features:
1) Fast long range shoot 2) multiple shoot at various range with accuracy in one shoot session 3) easy range determination 4) allow to fast determine holdover for windage and mobile target.
The next to come will be about fast range determination for target. Next reticule to come : M107 PBDC1000.

Dengibtsschon from the ECS Mod has released a new ECS Themis compatibility component 10102 addon on the BI Forums.
Our bridge addon Themis v1.0 or v1.0.1.01 does not work well together with the latest versions of the Extended Eventhandlers addon (released along with ACE v1.01 and ACE v1.02), if at all.
There have been player reports that ECS will work with ACE v1.01 by using the old Themis (v1.0), but this is not true. With this configuration almost none of the game events will reach ECS (only from vehicles of the type "LandVehicle" (Cars and Tanks)). To prove these players wrong: In the mission editor, put only yourself as soldier on the map and preview. ECS won't initialise then.
That's why we release a new version of Themis v1.0.1.02 which is compatible with all public versions of the Extended Eventhandlers addon (tested down to v1.4) and should stay compatible with future versions of it. The old versions 1.0 and 1.0.1.01 are obsolete from now on and shall be replaced with v1.0.1.02
