Is it OFP in a new package or what?

I think it is only key for Arma: Cold War Assault. Basically it renamed OFP 1.99, which is standalone patch. CWA is downloadable for free and during installation it will search OFP's cd-key from windows registry or when it is missing it will ask OFP/Arma:CWA key. CWA doesn't contain Red Hammer, but all what you need is VoiceRH.pbo and redhammer.pbo

Thank you Jager. If I already have OFP game of the year edition, I just need to install it and then purchase this cold war assault thing?

No no, if you own OFP then you do not need to purchase a thing.
CWA is free for you and will install as standalone game... that's what jäger is saying too.

I've tried that but didn't see anything useful features- so I uninstalled.

I hope BI has plans to release linux server for CWA soon. Before that MP side of the game is pretty useless.
hi,

IMHO 1.99 is just a gadjet for the 10th ofp aniversary. There's no sgnificant new scripting command. It seems that performance are a bit increased for some people. As for me my anti spyware soft become crazy with CWA duno so I uninstalled it.

If you want to use 1.99 patch with your "old" installation of OFP, you can install the Arma CW Game, and then copy/paste the complete folder in your existing OFP Installation.

Now, if you want to use for example WGL with 1.99 patch you can just take the ColdWarAssault.exe and add your "old" mod path, now you will have WGL on 1.99 game. I guess it is not official how-to-do, but it works for me ;-).

But OFP server ain't to be updated to 1.99. So if you wanna try it, install to different folder than default please.
