Actually in the new updates (at least 1.60) voices and textures where improved, now it doesn't looks thaaaat shity, and specially voices are pretty decent...
You gotta look at it from their perspective: they had their people create this DLC for people to use in their game, but they knew that it would rip apart their community. They solved it by having their guys do minimal work on making it a patch and make the good version pay only. They still need to pay their employees, you know.
I know there is a mod called "noBAF / BAF lite+" which replace BAF units by HI-RES ones. Also replace voices using the Americans ones. there is also unit replacement for PMC lite ;). Sorry for my bad English.
Good1: It's a demo for those people that doesn't have addon.
Good2: They are keeping OA community together with addon community, making it one community. BTW the original base ARMA2 community is getting smaller and smaller because of combined operations community getting bigger.
Bad1: The low textures forced most people with lite not to use the lite weapons, vehicles or units online.
I'm buying addons now cause I'm forced and I want to support BIS.
I don't understand, is there a campaign with the british army mod because in OA extensions there is : British Army Forces (Lite) ? It is just a demo or the complete version ?
This is a fucking joke, the speech sounds like Wolfenstein 3D. Although that thats probably a good thing since the voice acting in the expansion is just as bad in its own way, was obviously too hard for them to employ british voice actors.
This is probably the most cuntish thing i've seen done they might as well not bothered including them at all.
they were fucking arseholes for doing this, basically says "buy our expansion or you can have these ugly people in your game forever" i will get it if they release a CD version in stores, i hate buying things online
Ain't the point of having the lite version is to let people still be able to play on BAF enabled server and single player mission if they choose not to pay for the DLC?
Really, if you choose not to fuckin pay thats fine, afterall no one force you fuckin to, and you can still play mission/MP that have used BAF contain without being kickout by the server, but bitching at something for having much lower quality when choosen not to pay while the full pack cost $10 is pathetic.
I think this is the BEST move BIS could have made. At least you won't get kicked from a server automatically when a BAF-containing mission is started. I was very pleasantly surprised when I found out that they retained compatibility; I was getting rather worried that the community would split into two.
Thanks for the video though; I was wondering what those BAF Lite units looked like for people who didn't get the DLC... ;)
wow i jus check this peice of dogshit out they have just rubbed a shit stain on my pc for this id rather run the pedagne mod than this heap of shit thx sixwing for showing me what just happned this is the biggest assanine move thye have ever made id rather pay the 10.00 just to keep this puke stain off my comp
So what would've been your prefered alternative? Leaving them out entirely? Well then there's a rather simple solution.. Don't play on servers that use BAF content.
There's plenty of non-BAF servers out there and most servers using BAF would've switched even if there'd be no Lite version. Ignoring the BAF servers, you can enjoy gameplay content living up to your standards (UKF, PR:A2), while the rest of the community won't be split in two. Win-win for all sides.
Ur not supposed to use them people they're placeholders because when the online community starts using them you will still be allowed onbthe server since there won't be an addon mismatch
They're not for u to use. If u want to play with them BUY the British forces like they were meant to be. If u don't like em at all then pretend they were never there and don't play with them just like it was intended to be.
if you read BIS statement on the release, you would have found out why these units are in the game
its so people who wont get the BAF can still play with their clan or even public servers, its not meant to amazing looking or anything, therefore, your rant is pointless
I know why they're there there, but why are you missing the point? Why would you WANT to play with these horrible placeholders in your game? After you suffer though their vomit-inducing resampled audio, and equally vomit-looking textures, you're going to buy them because you won't be able to stand how goddamn awful they are. Would you want these ruining your game every time you hear them mumble out some distorted bullshit? No, you'll end up buying them so you don't have to.
I cant even stand them after having spent those three minutes to check them out. Makes me wanna buy them so I won't have to put up with that garbage when every server in the world starts using them.
I would of preferred it if they had just left out some units but made the others have full textures, I don't really like playing it when they're like this.

Well BIS did 2 good things and 1 bad.
Good1: It's a demo for those people that doesn't have addon.
Good2: They are keeping OA community together with addon community, making it one community. BTW the original base ARMA2 community is getting smaller and smaller because of combined operations community getting bigger.

I kinda felt the same when I first heard about it...
So I didn't use it. I avoid Lite units in a big, BIIIIIIIIGGG arch.
