BergHoff has released an updated African foliage for ArmA II v1.20 addon on the BI Forums.
This addon contains 34 usable models that can be used too create a vast desert, savanna or jungle.
The addon was previously released for ArmA in a un-finished state but now I have ported it over to ArmA II and completed all models that were in prior releases.
I want to thank Icebreakr for testing the foliage on his nice Isla Duala.
Defunkt has released an ANZINS Weapons addon for ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead on the BI-Forums. This mod was created for use on our servers and retrofits guns from both A2 and OA with new OA features, in particular with some form of close-quarters sighting mode for several weapons with a magnifying optic.
I hate crosshairs but dislike being near-helpless inside 50m nearly as much. This mod was created for use on our servers and retrofits guns from both A2 and OA with new OA features, in particular with some form of close-quarters sighting mode for several weapons with a magnifying optic. In a few cases they've also had their correct TI shader added (or in one case losing the TI shader in order to achieve the CQB thing). I plan on doing a bit more but need some help adding/fixing lens effects and with some config work for the G36's which have defied my best efforts so far.

RKSL-Rock from the RKSL Studios has release a RKSL RAF Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 beta1.0 addon on the BI Forums.
This addon is intended to represent the Royal Air Force's EuroFighter Typhoon FGR4 only. No other national version is included at this time.
A word about "Realism" It includes some features and capabilities that current serving aircraft have not been given yet. We've taken the liberty of trying to represent a fully capable aircraft that can support the widest possible range of weapons and roles. For the RAF's FGR4 at least this level of capability should only be 2-3 years away according to media sources.
Laggy has released a [SP/COOP] Garden of Eden v0.90beta mission on the BI Forums.
Mission description: As Delta Force and a Helo Team your job is to hunt down insurgents in Takistan.
Important: In MP, pick primary and secondary player units first. This mission can be quite hard to master in SP, but it works perfectly if you are an experienced player. Keep your cool and make sure how to use teamSwitch and how to lead your units. Helo training is also useful. Read the briefing carefully.
Missionwork: My first mission in OA. The tasks are quite randomized which should hopefully make replay value high. The mission design really makes the new FLIR effect important. I hope I have achieved some realistic feel, but mostly a good atmosphere. Custom sounds, dialogue and scripts.
Sgt.Elias has informed us about the release of an ArmA2 : Operation Arrowhead version of his sound Mod.
Hi all, here are the new version of my SoundMod for ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead, @eliassound2OA. i use lots of the sounds frome eliassound2, but some sounds are new or reworked. and i made lots of Operation Arrowhead sounds new.

vehicles/tanks/plains (chopper comes later) add to the new OA vehicles,tanks and plains some sounds like chain, wind, noise, wheel and lots more. add new engine off sounds fore the M113, T55, T34. push up tire loudness fore all vehicles in config. add 3 new Rc sounds, us, russia, arabia style to all vehicles.

The final ACE 2 : version 1.3 stable for ArmA2 has been released and Xeno has informed the community of the release of ACE2 for ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead on the BI Forums.
This is the final ACE Stable Release for ArmA 2, Standalone. Our ongoing development has switched to Operation Arrowhead, and a first version should appear on Six Updater at the next scheduled update interval.
ACE2 for ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead v1.5 Beta, is available on the SIX - updater network.
Legislator has released an GLT FLC (FLIR & Countermeasures) addon on the BI-Forums. This addon adds the FLIR system of Operation Arrowhead to some choppers and tanks of ArmA II. You will need Operation Arrowhead to get this working.
I made this because most of the ArmA II vehicles don't use the new FLIR system by default. Additionally I added countermeasures to the UH-1Y and MV-22. Each config file works separelty from each other so you can decide which vehicle will get the FLIR. Please be aware that not every vehicle will get FLIR, like T-72, UH-1D and Mi-24D. If someone wants the new FLIR system on those vehicles (or others) he can use this addon as a pattern for it.
Hint: This addon works clientside only. Server admins will have to take care to allow / not allow this addon on PvP servers. It may be considered cheating because some players might get advantages over others.
colonel stagler has released v1.5 of his Russian Naval Infantry (Desert) for Operation Arrowhead on the BI-Forums.

Killswitch has released 2 versions of the Community Base Addons on the BI Forums. CBA is a system that offers a range of features for addon-makers and mission designers and aims to have community wide acceptance and to be used as much as possible by community addons to maintain compatibility. You can read about CBA in general here.
Here are two new CBA releases for you:
* CBA v0.4.2 for use with classic ArmA II. * CBA v0.5.0 for Combined Operations and Operation Arrowhead users.
The new 0.5.0 release contains a @CBA that has been updated for the content in OA and also a @CBA_OA that users of standalone Arrowhead installations need to use in addition to @CBA
What do I download? * If you're still on ArmA II, download the 0.4.2 version and use -mod=@CBA * If you have a merged "Combined Operations" installation with both Arma II and Arrowhead, download 0.5.0 and use -mod=@CBA * If you have a standalone Operation Arrowhead installation, get 0.5.0 and use both mod folders: -mod=@CBA;@CBA_OA
v0.2 has released version 2.2 of his great VopSound mod on the BI-Forums.
I'm happy to announce the third release of VopSound for ArmA2. It has been a long time since the last version but 967 of edited and reedited and rereedited sounds later, I decided to release it in its current status as I'm getting OA in the next week. I won't have internet in the next few days so please be patient if minor problems occur, which could be possible, because we didn't test it too much. Should be nothing gamebreaking though. I'm planning to port it over to OA and eagerly anticipating tpm's HARCP and will make it compatible. And no, no video. Don't ask. Propably someone takes some time and will make one.
No needed addons, but as always it is recommended to be used with:
Sabre has released his Edited ACR Troops on the BI-Forums. They're placeholder ACR Soldiers in Woodland and an Edited Desert Camouflage.
Well this started out as just a quick edit of the tones of the desert camouflage to what I personally preferred, along the way I decided to add little things and eventually thought i'd try and add a quick woodland version aswell. Would have been out sooner if not for some repeated errors I have been getting while trying upload sites. They are not perfect and are just intended as a placeholder or gap filler until someone else wants to update the CZ troops properly with new models and what not to suite there upgrade in some gear.
