The gamestar preview for ARMA2 said 'Dynamische Lichtquellen bei Nacht dagegen kennt die Engine kaum' (Trans: It seems the engine doesn't 'know' dynamic light at night-times). Will this be improved in OA and will the weapon-lights be a benefactor of this engine improvement, or will we see lights similar to ACE2? - SASrecon

Will OA have improved weather/lighting/sky effects, which can be esily placed via the editor in the vanilla game? -SASrecon

Can you elaborate more on the Armory mode and what has changed in it since ArmA2? - Myshaak

To what extent does BIS and BIA cooperate/communicate? Do both studios share technologies and other resources? - Myshaak

Will the DLC that is planned for A2OA be free or paid and how it will be distributed? - Myshaak

Will the random town generator module works for Chernarus and Utes map with Eastern Europe buildings for combined Arma2+OA? Has there been any improvements in Alice and Silvie module? Any additional missions for Secops module? -Muahaha

Has the way a player can control his AI-teammates been improved in OA?

How does OA compete with big military games like Combat Mission or Steel Beasts Pro PE?

Are there any Multiplayer-Bugfixes included in OA?

Will there be a simulation of weight for equipment? Will there be detrimental affects from carrying a large heavy weapon (MK16 with GL/TI scope, m240, m107 etc) AT launcher, and backpack with lots of gear/extra weapons inside? Currently there is no difference if one is carrying an m4 with 1 mag, or an m107 with 8 mags with a javelin launcher and missile (over 100lbs of gear) (that guy)

Since there is now weapons with TI and NV scopes, IR lasers and such, will normal NVGs no longer be able to be used with iron sites and regular scopes? (that guy)
