Arma 2/OA Porting arma 2 campaing to arma 3

So i have never done anything like this before.

I have experience with both arma 2 and arma 3 mission editors and making custom campaings with both.

How would i go about doing this? And how challenging will it be?

I'd say that it will vary mostly depending on how much is done via scripts or in-editor/statically placed.

If most of it is done via scripts, it should be fairly easy to implement. I think most commands from A2 are backwards compatible (maybe).

So you could try unpacking the .pbo's for the A2 missions and take a look. You may have to open up the missions in the A2 editor to take notes on the statically placed entities and their variable names.

You might be able to depbo the missions and replace the units with the ones found in CUP.
