Dun dun dun
Now that's a portal to Hell. Why is everyone putting the portal out on a beach on a sunny day, when they could dig an ominous hole that seems to drag them in?
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.
Near spawn in H&D2:
Spawn in ArmA 2:

Crashed British airplane:

Unfortunately, because there was no such model in ArmA 2 available, i had to settle for a crashed C-130. Only other wrecks were modern fighter planes, which would have looked even more out of place.
Following the guide in H&D2:
And in ArmA 2:
A truck with trouble in H&D2:
And in ArmA 2:
And thanks to the wounding module that comes with Invasion 44 (which is recommended for use too, otherwise the SMG's are crap. Without it, soldiers take a lot of shots to die. Somebody decided to 'balance' the weapon damage, unfortunately. But with the mod, soldiers will become incapacitated with a nice new animation:

I don't get that game, it looks good in some screens and in some screens it looks like CoD 1.
an ACOG in 'nam?.
Just like the Russians used western weapons in MW1/2.
They are just too lazy to spend time making actual content that fits the games.
Not to mention, the game has basically been cut/paste since CoD2.
BO should be priced at $20, not more.
Probably because it uses the same engine as all other CoD's for the past 5 years. It is updated but apparently there's only so much glossing over old tech that you can do.
This.And the consoles wouldnt handle a big engine update
They need to update consoles. In a Utopian society, consoles would cease to exist, but that will never happen
I'm not talking about the engine. I'm talking about the quality of the textures and the lighting of the levels.
Let's just say... we found out where Yosh's doomsday device was hidden after all this time.
Links found it in the editor after someone hit upon it in the actual game, so if you haven't talked to him already about removing it, you might want to.
There is a lot. Oh yes, we're standing roughly where the lobby was in some of those screens.
