Yeah it seems to be working now.

EDIT: ...and no I dont think I would buy it, I will never buy DLC. This could have been modded in by the comunity quite easily. I thaught this was an expansion at first but its little more than a MOD really.

Its almost like an expansion pack.

DLC rarely has missions, new units and vehicles.

I dont buy DLC myself either, but this looks pretty awesome.

It definitely has 10x more value than the MW2 map packs, but i just don't support DLC. All of valves extra content is free, and look how much money they make!!

Valve owns something called Steam which is the largest digital distributor in the world right now. I think they can afford to release DLC for free to look good whereas a small company like Bohemia Interactive cannot.

Gladly, I love the ArmA series and BI. The prospect of being able to support their studio by buying more content for an awesome game is great.

I may pick it up, but I believe all of that stuff has already been modded in to ArmA 2.

They also market to a much larger audience and own Steam.

BI however is a very small developer who makes very niche games for a small amount of players. Their market base is tiny, their profit margins are low. DLC is fine when it comes with everything this DLC has for only $10.

Exactly, a company that puts out such awesome games and has never done DLC before. Not to mention gives us one of hte best editors ever.

I really dont mind supporting them, smaller studios like BI deserve it.

Plus we get new vehicles, new missions, new dudes,etc..
