Dale released an alternate version of his Operation BushMaster mission in the BI forums.

Quote Dale :
In Operation BushMaster II the waves of enemies you face will come once the previous[/page] wave has been eliminated, as opposed to Operation BushMaster. This will hopefully give you time to reorganise yourselves!! Each wave will start 20 - 30 seconds after the previous wave. Trust me though, it still aint easy!!

Captain Bravo informed us he released a new mission in the BI forums.

Quote Captain Bravo :
A few have asked if we can release this mission to the public, so here it is.

Situation:

amadman114 released this mission pack playable as a singleplayer or coop campaign in our forums.

Quote amadman114 :
Hello ArmaHolic!!!!!!

After 5 months of problem solving and about 50 hours of play testing the BASE Campaign is finally finished!

The BASE campaign consists of 4 missions, together providing around 2 hours of game play. In this campaign you go from a simple lieutenant to a commander, steal a chopper, use high tech weaponry, make a great escape from a POW camp, do a HALO jump, jump out of a C-130j, command an army... Enough? There's more...

All missions except mission 3 can be used in Co-op.

There's some voicing, real ATC recordings and an overview for each mission

t0m informed us about the release of this gamemode in the BI forums.

Quote t0m :
Over at ArmA: Theatre of War we've grown tired at fighting along pre designated zones and lines that the map makers decided for us. We wanted to decide where to fight and how to defend that position. So we began working on dynamic game modes, our first released one being Takistan RUMBLE. Takistan Rumble is our public release of AToW's own in house map, Takistan Fortification.


The only limitations within our game mode over where you fight are:

• The size of the zones.
• The number of flags in play

If you have a small community and you want to fight over a smaller area? Make the zones smaller. You can even make more than one if you wish to focus the fighting around certain points. The number of flags also adjusts dynamically depending on the number or players on the server.

And hey, if you want to fight over the whole map, you can do that. Just make the zones that big.

Pittmann[AMF] has informed us he started to work on his first island for Arma 2 called Torina Island.


Quote Pittmann[AMF] :
I am currently making a custom made island called Torina Island. It is a fictional based island, which is based on the concept of a Russian Woodland Environment Island that has been abandoned. You could create maybe a campaign or backstory on the island of a hidden Russian Base or something of that type. Link to a video showing the North West part of the island currently in development is as follows.

StubbleHopper has informed us he is still working on his Sharpe's Rifles mod and has sent some new pictures to show to the community.


Quote StubbleHopper :
Been too busy with real life to do much with this lately, but just started again after a long break and here's what I've been upto, added some Highlanders, some French infantry and some Prussians in the form of Landwehr and Line infantry. I've got a horse in game and working, but could do with better animations, both for cavalry and wagons. In the works are artillerymen for all sides, some Feench hussars, cuirassiers and light infantry, could still use some help with particle effects for musket and cannon fire, as I don't have the knowhow myself, not yet anyways. A lot of these are still not quite finished but thanks for looking.

NSX released the RHS BTR-70 by Manfred, the RHS Cargo System and an updated version of the RHS Decals on the BI forums.


Quote :
So, here we go again. Todays yummy is BTR-70. This addon has a long history of developement - it was originally made by Manfred from flashpoint.ru and then the progress got stuck because of the lack of people, who could finish the finalizing stages of this designing. Long story short - one day it finally came into the talented hands of our guys, where it was finally made operational and largely pimped up in both look and diversity (and our thanks goes to topas here), as well as in features and possibilities.

The addon itself comes bundled with updated decals pack (which itself was enlarged a lot since the last revision) and the cargo system - a brand new invention of our scripters. While you're familiar with the first thing, the second is something new. This system allows you to ride ontop the armor of diffirent vehicles + it features possibilities to turn on, turn off and manage the options this system gives to you on the run.
Notice, that it's only in the beginning of the developement, so the only supported vehicle is BTR-70 so far. But we're already working on the updated builds, which aim to provide support of this system for most of the vehicles you can see in vanilla A2/OA - furthermore, every vehicle will have its own customized riding animations.

And as a sweet dessert we prepared a special gift - 3 high quality MP missions from Our Army team (english-speaking users may know these guys because of their previously well-recognized Our Weapons department famous for their finest addons for OFP) - one of the most distinguished russian-speaking MP teams, which reinacts the tactics of Soviet Army.

Pauld released his first mission in the BI forums.

Quote Pauld :
Hi I would like to release my mission to the Bi community with the help of a fellow KHer foxy it wouldn't have been such a joy to play,

its a simple mission that can be played with nineteen players but its best played with around 5-10 to get the best experience out of it.

Three objectives to complete the mission:

Deadfast released an updated version of his replacement addon for the RH Pistol pack Remake on the BI forums.
With this new version he made the addon compatible with Operation Arrowhead and Combined Operations.


Quote Deadfast :
Replace the stock M1911, M9 and M9 SD with the equivalents from RobertHammer's pistol pack!
This is a pure client-side modification. The players you play with online will not be affected by this addon in any way, it does not change damage values, zoom levels or anything else than the model itself.
For players who do not have this addon installed you will appear to hold the original stock model, while you see them holding the RH pack's equivalent. The same rule applies for any weapons lying on the ground - you see them as RH weapons, others will see them as stock weapons.

Xeno426 released his TGW Sight Extension on the BI forums.
This mod enables the new sights used by the GDT Mod Under-slung Grenade Launcher sights to be applied to the new grenade launchers in Operation Arrowhead and the BAF package. The M32 uses the GP25 sights, while the M79, Mk13 and L17 use the M204 sights.

Bryce23 released his latest coop mission in the BI forums.

Quote Bryce23 :
I have finished work on my latest mission, co10 Valley Sweep.

VanhA has submitted his 2nd mission for Operation Arrowhead.
In this 10 player co-op mission a US depot was run over by the Takistani forces. Now the depot serves as a prison for local freedom fighters.
Your 10 man team will be inserted close the area and from there you shall proceed to the depot and use a laptop to get rid of a scud threat. The area is well defended by the 5th Takistani armored brigade so getting close would be suicide.

Features:

• AC-130
• UPSMON
• GROUP respawn with BIS medical modules
