Great review, too bad about the mod quality for paid content. Imagine if BI themselves come out in a few hours with the following statement: "In light of the recent events, and the state of the latest cDLC, we are inclined to compensate not only the buyers but also our loyal community and so anyone who has bought the cDLC will be able to get another cDLC of their choosing (50% discount on SOG) on us and CSLA will become a beta now and free for anyone in a year from now when hopefully all issues are resolved, this is also our gift considering the cDLC portraits our homeland and we want all our players to be able to experience it in its fullest, sincerely yours, BOHE INTER**". They really need to compensate us the players and buyers for all the time we waited and all the foolish high expectations they had us endure only to let us down in the end.
They are reused, they sold their CSLA mod for Arma 2 (wich schould be ported since 2013 over to Arma 3 as mod) as CDLC, The UAZs, Humvees, Praga Trucks and many more assets come from Arma 2/OA and theoretically its forbidden to use them in a comercial way (Arma Public Data Licenses).
My father served in Czecho-Slovak Army (no longer the People's though, as this was in 1991-1992) on a firing range / training area near German border in its security detachment (Firing range Dolni Zandov, Cheb county), and one of his friends served in a tank unit stationed in a nearby base (tank driver, T-55) which used it for live fire exercises. Nice to see one such base / area included in the DLC map. Interesting the DLC only has T-72s in it, from what my father told me, at least in the nearby border bases where he served, only T-55s were stationed, and T-72s were stationed further inland.

The KPVT sound very much like the old arma 2 M2 sound lol. Sucks about all the reused assets and such, Prairie Fire set such a high bar for the creator DLCs. This one feels super lacking comparatively.
I have played around with this mod for about 3 hours. I think the map is really good, tons of unique buildings with interiors, nice stonework, etc. Unfortunately I keep running into weird bugs with the units. A minor bug: the T-72 turret spins around freestyle as fast as you can move the mouse. A major bug: broken animations. I can plop down any sniper for example, even a vanilla CSAT sniper, and you can't bring up the rifle, it's doing it's own animation thing. If you hit forward key once, the guy moves forward for several seconds. When I played as a Mi17 pilot, had no issues until I landed, got out, walked around fine, then opened up inventory, no problem, closed inventory, and the animations went bezerk. I had to exit and load the vanilla game without this mod to make sure it wasn't some other weird thing going with Arma. Now the vanilla units work perfectly fine. Also I noticed sound issues. For example, the T-72 engine is nice and strong, but when I fire the main gun you can barely hear that over the engine. I'm honestly surprised at all of the weird problems because the CSLA mod for Arma 2 was top quality. I thought Bohemia was to QA these cDLCs. -- Just to clarify, the animation "bug" only happened during a single day. I cannot get it to happen again since. The bug happened, I exited Arma, started it, bug was still persistent, exited Arma, loaded without cDLC and bug vanished. But on days after, I cannot recreate the bug with CSLA loaded. I even played a couple of the missions. I don't know if they patched it or just one of those bizarre things that won't happen again.
A civilian RP to defect to the west evading capture would be more entertaining than the typical symmetrical conflict of usual arma. There is no tribute to civilian perspectives of conflict times of former soviet blocks and DDR in gaming. This map is a faction treasure trove, where are the secret police?
This is the exact thing i was concerned about with PF, thankfully that DLC had effort put into it that makes it unique, this is just a scam it feels like

@@Mirslp Yes, i think @TheDevildogGamer a text note at the atart and the end of the video that the CSLA CDLC reusing Arma Vanilla content should be definitely re-edited into the current review since i fear some will dont notice the pinned comment.
This whole DLC Is just reskined CSLA mod that has been actually striped down from some cool shit. I mean WTF, this DLC doesn't bring anything new, doesn't bring anything cool - like Prairie Fire did, it's just mod content stripped from all the cool things. F this. Makes me as a Czech person sad that ČSLA is presented in such a narrow view.
I love how we have 3 Cold war era DLC's, yet we still don't have a good quality CH-46. I've got to stop getting my hopes up. At this rate, I bet Arma Reforger won't have the CH-46.
This is such a shame. Bohemia chooses to rebrand A2 and CUP assets instead of marketing an actual DLC with NEW items.... No servers will run this DLC as you can get everything for free.
All the stuff looks like it’s from arma 1-2 just new sounds and a map which by no means is worth 20 bucks with all the reused arma assets. And there is next to no air assets. The first Cold War dlc was much better this was super disappointing.
I'm just waiting for some sort of Cold War/Modern Day Asia DLC, like North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, etc. Sort of like Wargame: Red Dragon. Lots of potential there imo. Scandanavia would be great too, but if the files in GlobMob are to be believed, lots of countries are going to be added to that DLC, Scandinavian countries included.
@@spartains5493 Ah yeah North/South Korea was also one I was thinking would be cool and would fit with the Cold War gone hot scenarios. Also, I'm glad to hear that about Global Mobilization, and I guess it makes sense considering the name. Here's hoping it actually gets done.
No Hind or Cobra (Apache didn't enter service until the year after, but Cobra with TOW would work) for tank hunting, no CAS aircraft (A-10s or Su-25s - or even an L-39 - considering the massive Czech airbase with NO aircraft to put into/outside those hangars and the Highway Strip). Reused assets all over the shop. I don't mind the reused assets part so much but aside from the terrain, there's nothing this mod does that certain mods can't do better - not to mention for free. And even some terrains are more interesting and engaging. It had potential but it seems as though the devs of this mod (it's nowhere near paid DLC quality) got lazy. There is no way I'm buying this, at least until they throw in SOMETHING attack aviation-oriented and improve their models/textures on most of their equipment, especially weapons.
Sadly this DLC just doesn't look to be worth the money, at all. It appears as though the accusations in the Steam Workshop of this being on the level of an asset flip really aren't all that far from the truth. For a paid DLC the textures are absolutely appalling and the lack of any meaningful vehicle internals is just a disgrace. Thank you for the video, it's really appreciated. While I would love a Czech focused DLC, especially Cold War, this is a hard pass for me and to be honest Bohemia should be having strongly worded discussions with CSLA regarding this.
Kinda sad when developers are absolutely destroyed with mods by fans in a much small team and much smaller time frame. Uniforms, models, sounds, missions... created by communities or sometimes one person that makes you wonder...
yeah, definitely still the worst DLC ever made.. the mods that were exactly this were 1000 times better.. this is just a waste of time, effort and frigging money
It looks like they just stole stuff from other ArmA maps, and then stole used assets from CUP and then just ported whatever they couldn’t find. I will not be buying this CDLC - I hope that Bohemia learn from this and just focus on ArmA 4
*WARNING* Hold off on buying some of these assets might be reused. Wondered why It felt like Operation Flashpoint LOL. So buyer beware, still waiting to see what Bohemia says!

This dlc is literally reused assets from arma 2 lol. You can get the same models from the CUP mod
At least the arma 2 models were complete without see through compartments and shit :/
This is what happens when a company owned by the ccp buys a large part of your company.
It really should have been a free DLC, at least if you own A2 or A1.
What I hear it's basically all Arma 1-2 models and the terrain is basically has no depth to the ground textures
Not all of it, but there is still alot of them. Too many.
The non-ripped stuff is freaking awesome though.
CSLA started off as an old OFP mod actually.
The age of Arma 3 is starting to show, it's almost 10 years old already.

I don't care bout DLC, but the map is cool. Eastern Europe has the best terrain for semihistorical scenarios.
Mods just makes ARMA better than DLC Add-ons.
Very true, but with the company doing a dlc you theoretically get more quality control than mods
@@outcast6976 well that theory worked out well...
@@TheRunaway115 Overall, it actually has. GlobMob and SOG are both really high-quality. 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all.
Although that SOG dlc was very well worth the money
I am from Czech republic and I was really surprised to see some of our towns which really exists (in much bigger verisons) and are bordering Germany
Operation Flashpoint. I miss it.
So they imported Arma 2 into Arma 3 six years after CUP and slapped a 12 dollar price tag on it.
Nice.
