Is CSLA IRON CURTAIN Worth It? | New ARMA 3 Cold War DLC [Review]

What do you guys think of Iron Curtain?

I think the Soviet–Afghan War would be a good idea, but what we really need is an enormous DLC that adds all the coldwar theaters of war. Global Mobilization with its recent big update is a great start.

i want to see the dersert storm op

my question is are they going to add multiplayer srry for asking a lot

i want multiplayer for this

is there mulitplayer

I miss this game so much, I need to buy a new PC

check out Shield 84 štít 84 to get some inspiration. I only played old demo for OP Flashpoint, then Arma I, I did not lie the flying, felt too arcadey and unrealistic when it came to physics.

It‘s really sad to see how this DLC ended. ČSLA mods have huge tradition in Czech and Slovak OPF/Arma community. First iteration came out on Operation Flashpoint and it was really great mod which later even expanded to AČR (Army of Czech Republic). Lots of weapons, vehicles and whole campaign. Great times. By the way its still available on Moddb.
Next iteration for first Arma was a basically just graphical upgrade, however only 12 SP mission was present.
The best version was without doubt a version for Arma 2: CO. 3 factions, 27 SP missions, 12 MP missions and big full fledged SP campaign ‘89 with 60 missions, cutscenes, voice action and 3 different ending. This was definitely highlight of this mod series.
So it’s really sad to see that mod team failed to build on previous success. Maybe it’s because a lot of original mod developers went to work for Bohemia Interactive. Maybe.
But if nothing more, go try out Arma 2 version of ČSLA. It’s great, it’s free and it’s still available on Moddb.

I haven't tried this DLC. And if I need to command a squad for a good portion of the missions, I'm very unlikely to get it. I really dislike being a squad leader. I don't want the headache of dealing with commanding AI squadmates. I just get overwhelmed and the game then looses its appeal. I just want to be a grunt and told where to go and what to do.

how do u even play it i downloaded it but cant find it

Some Operation Just cause of the Panamanian gear And weapons would be nice, is often ignored even though it was the Last cold conflict of the 80's

After further review the content isn’t that bad really; I can really see around and it’s not too bad it acceptable for what it’s doing.

i got iron curtain and it wont give me any content i was promised!!

Bought it but cant even understand how to launch it

Thank you so much for this review, this is probably the most honest video I've seen (on such an unpopular topic). Glad to see it though! Several hours into the DLC and enjoy I thoroughly and have seen all the points you've discussed.

Operation acid gambit comes to mind as soon as I saw the delta guys.

THIS DLC IS TRASH DONT GET IT

They should of made this only 5$ max. It’s a cool little mod but not worth anymore than 5 US dollars tbh

Independence war in Bosnia and Croatia, some adriatic coast map combined with mountain inland

Imagine I be telling BI that I wanna publish a CDLC about modern Russian military then I just re-texture some RHS assets and boom guys! Your money please!

So... Um.. RHS and CUP.... Um.. LOL not buying cold war content

Umm mod/mission/campaign idea: Red Dawn! No one has made a mod from the original movie!

Still no desert city DLC, I mean iraq would be nice but if we got a Syria or even something like Oman DLC that would be something arma is missing. All the desert city community maps are not up to arma 3 quality sadly.

It must feel nice to get working vehicles in arma 3.

Been playing dayz for 12 years. Still waiting for working vehicles and helicopters.

Nothing like seeing Working arma 3 content getting released. When dayZ has been broken for 12 years
Can't wait to see how broken arma 4 is!

After 4 months we got a new updates in dayz guys! single new gun! Yay!! /s

how are we spelling Roche? Rosche?

You are not going to find the Tatra T-815, or DANA SpGH or the armored V3S in RHS. Iron Curtain does have some unique vehicles not seeing in any existing mod.

Thing lot of people miss, is that its not about the US, technically they are supposed to be sort OPFOR faction in this situation and the focus is on CSLA units (hence the name). It started as mod for Operation Flashpoint as having Czech and Slovak faction in theme of cold war since that was the conflict in Operation Flashpoint. Many Czechs and Slovaks at that time remembered their service in CSLA or just knew it from films and movies. It is something czechs and slovaks build for them self and probably was not considered to appeal to foreigners. There is a fan community around CSLA for almost 20 years and this is simply must for us. But when people looks at CSLA as another eastern faction and easily don't see difference between soviet troops I can see how that makes no difference and just go for RHS and CUP. But that is not the solution for czech and slovak players. And considering the creators worked on this for 20 years for free, the literary lunch money for this dls is hardly too much to ask for. And its sad that people who were not the target audience to begin with give it low reviews, because they don't understand what this mod is about.

guys Bohemia didnt make this. its part of the CDLC content make by Arma modders. It has some bugs but for $10 its worth it. Just skip McDonalds or starbucks for one day.

No not worth it at all. Reused assets from arma 2 and CUP. Embarrassing how Bohemia would even release this in it's current state

Some Korean War stuff would be dope!

Personally I think its a good effort by Bohemia to entertain the community but its honestly grade A garbage. I would have a higher opinion if not for RHS and CUP being completely free.

Edit: My friend just told me anytime he selects any weapon variant with a grenade launcher in CSLA, his game crashes.
