A few suggestions.

[Fateye]

First of all, I'm pretty sure that you know how bad the stock ArmA 2 sounds are.
I've been trying out a lot of soundmods and found that JSRS sounds are the best, and therefore it would be a pretty damn nice addition to Chernarus Life.

Then of course, there's another thing that would be nice and that is a move to Operation Arrowhead.
It has new weapons and features in it, such as flashlights attached to the guns (They work too.).

Chernarus Life needs more old weapons (WW2 era, let's say WW2 was fought there too.). Example:

Also when it comes to more vehicles it would be nice if we had an indigenous car factory, as in Chernarus own brand. I'm sure some modelers can come up with some good models (I'm talking about decent cars here, not rebranded Ladas lol.) and of course, more European cars like Volvo, Mercedes, BMW (Please skip the French piece of shits though.)

As a bonus, this should be added:

I'm pretty sure many of you have tried this mod and it is pretty damn great. Makes ArmA 2 feel a lot better.
If there's no possibility to add this you should atleast let people be able to use it by preference through ArmA2s keysystem, along with the soundmod.

Yeah, some nice things there. As long as ACE isnt added i will be happy.

IMHO, Moving to OA is crap. Destroying the atmosphere that Chernarus creates is a big price for flashlights and FLIR.

[Fateye]

How would it destroy the atmosphere?
I'm not saying move it to Zargabad/Takistan just add the features from it.
Kind of how City Life 2 did it, it is on Chernarus but it's still using OA and ArmA2 (Combined Ops.)

[b33]

That would still require OA, but why move to OA if you keep the old map and just profit from the added features that nobody needs in an RP-mission anyway. I'm not trying to say your suggestion are worthless, just that I don't see why I'm supposed to get OA if I'm not interested in playing it anyway.

[Fateye]

OA will be the game getting fixes more and more often than ArmA2, that will possibily get rid of annoying bugs.
Not to mention most of the ArmA2 players already own OA.
Actually I'd be happy if we even got the rest of the things, as you said the features are not really needed in CL but it would be a nice addition. The addons I posted about are compatible with ArmA 2 alone so that should be doable.

You think it is doable, And you think that most ArmA 2 Owners already own OA.. IMO You think wrongly.

[Fateye]

Why exactly isn't it doable?  These things are really clientside (Besides the weapons and cars.) so it should really put no strain on the server.

Weapons and cars put strain on the server and also increase the size of the addon pack for the next release, Really I should not have an opinion here as I am on the SL Team.. Just sharing my views

I completely agree with you.

Also, at Fateye, please let us find 3 gameplay disturbing bugs in ArmA2. OA has it's raison d'être, but that doesn't mean that just because it is there and has some new stuff we need to switch to it.

[Fateye]

Still, what about clientside mods? It should be allowed if it's something simple. You should make a few addons allowable and list the ones allowed.

[b33]

I agree with you on that one, a selection of known and popular client-side stuff should be signed and allowed.
