"QG and LowPlants works with CWR." - raedor
Is CWR creating custom classes for the units (like a normal addon/mod) or is this mod going to replace the default ArmA units.
To achieve maximum compatibility with already created OFP missions the classnames used are exactly the same as in OFP. That means when using the CWR Mod the default ArmA units will be replaced by CWR ones. It also means that your OFP missions will work with little to no changes.
Are you going to modify something regarding the AI/gameplay?
There are no plans in changing gameplay/AI, at least not more than config changes at this time.
Is CWR going to be Queens Gambit dependable?
No, CWR should be played without Queens Gambit, however you can use both together, if you want to.
Why CWR is using the Xbox soundfiles?
Due to copyright issues we cannot use the original soundfiles from OFP.
Are we able to change the soundfiles?
In theory you can do this, however since we're using the Xbox missions too there are errors because of no more existing sounds which are not played then. In the end your playing experience might be even more worse.
Is there a release planned for Arma 2 once available?
Of course! As soon as the tools for Arma 2 are released we start the porting.
Why the AKM/AK-74 has a 3 round burst mode?
Because the weapon was the same in OFP. The goal of CWR is to bring back the original feeling with all its flaws and incorrectness. For a hyper-realistic Mod see the Project'85 or A.C.E. Mods.
