Matt Rochelle informed us about the ECS Mod an modification similar to OFP's ECP.
It adds secondary tank explosions, crew bailing on fire, chimney smoke, amazing sound Effects, AI shouting and much more to the game. Find out more on their website.

The Enhanced Configuration System (ECS) is a privately developed addon for Armed Assault by the ECS team.
It was riginally written for Operation Flashpoint in 2005, to increase the Co-operative gameplay, game environment, effects, and AI reactions. The project was completely reworked for Armed Assault in February 2007. Since then, the project has grown and expanded to include many features far beyond it's original inception.
The mod was expressly intended for co-op use only and is not geared to PvP missions. It is however fully compatible in both single and multiplayers modes, including the campaign and Queen's Gambit.

Some weeks ago a small preview article by a german pc magazine has been released on the official PC Action website. There are not many new informations, but here is a little summary of interesting facts:

● There is no health bar

● If you get hit, you will bleed and won't be able to aim and shoot precisely (like in OFP)

● Only a medic can heal you

● Every air and land vehicle has been created as realistic as possible with appropriate sounds

● There will be detailled vehicle damages and dirtiness (like in Colin McRae: Dirt)

● The most realistic ai can be influenced by fear and enthusiasm and develope own tactics


In addition the german pc magazine PC Games Hardware has released a new small render picture.

Jan Hovora from Bohemia Interactive has released a new article about ArmA2 Vegetation progress on the BI Developer Blog.

This new entry is about :
- New shaders,
- Change in engine,
- Visual aspect of vegetation,
- Clutter (grass surfaces),
- Future.
And tells us some nice things about ArmA2 WIP such as :

From lessons that we learned about the performance impact of trees, we developed a new way of making a grass model that is more effective for drawing than in Armed Assault but looks much denser and better visually. This is also based on the knowledge that in the first lods we must target on surface reduction and in far lods on vertex reduction, because far lods are drawn with a very limited amount of pixels.
There is also a nice change in the engine, where we can now particularly colorize vegetation clutters by satellite map, this allows us to produce non-repetitive surface with a more realistic look that naturally fits to the landscape ...

- The new Island Chernarus (the mag describes it as country, so I don't know if it's really an island anymore) shall be 230 sqare km in size. The name means translated into english Blackrussia. (I'm not sure with this one, because in German you call Belarus also Whiterussia)
- The landscape is made after an original landscape in CZ
- In this country pro communist forces strike against the democratic government and try to get back to russia. But their atempt fails and so they declare the Social republic of Charnarus. The remaining democratic forces now ask the West for help and the USA are sending their forces. It takes place in 2009.
- You don't play one anonym soldier anymore, but someone out of a small 5-man team, called Razor from the US Marine Corps. You can also switch between the members if you want.
- More than 50 weapons and more than 50 vehicles
- Online gaming with up to 50 players
- There shall be RPG elements (like talking to civilians)

Further there are train tracks, the trees look really cool in some kind of autumn style and the grass also looks a lot better
