So, for ArmA 2 i have started recreating some missions out of Hidden and Dangerous 1 and 2, using the Invasion 44 mod.
Those British Commando units just begged for it, and the map Thirsk did too: they fit together perfectly.
I cant recreate the missions perfectly for several reasons. Mostly maps available. I cant make my own, so i have to use existing ones and find suitable locations. Instead of a perfect remake, i try to recreate the same layout as much as possible, and keep the original atmosphere.
So, as a nice warmer-up, here are a few comparison screenshots.
Mission 1 from Hidden and Dangerous 1:
The spawn:
In ArmA 2:
The Bridge:
Which had to become a dam near the sea:
Except for the fact the bridge has been replaced with a dam, the rest of the map layout is mostly preserved.
The other side of the bridge:
Onto the next mission: the first mission from Hidden and Dangerous 2.
