A few days ago Ghost644 released an update for his Insurgent Airfield Coop over at the BIS Forums.
My first ArmA II mission is ready for release. I apologize in advance if there are issues as I have not been able to test with anyone and a lot of things are new to the series and I have little experience with them. Any support is much appreciated. Please let me know of any problems you had, and if it was sp, dedicated server or stand alone server and the nature of the problem. Everything should work but again, I was not able to test as much as I would have liked. Enjoy.
Changes in v.4.0: deleted some enemy and instead using spawn script. fixed tasks so they show status after dying. added random weather and body deletion

Some work done on the materials tonight. LT Lee from our group has been doing some testing for me, and kindly took some pics. She's washing up real nice! Haven't fixed the muzzle yet.
HeinBloed has released two more addon on the GDT Website. The first one enhances the Binoculars (compass display and zoom) and the second one changes the grass in ArmA2.
[ASA]ODEN has updated his Oden WarfareMP Mission in the BIS Forums.
This is a mixed Warfare with US Marines and Chernarussian Defence Forces versus Russian 3rd Army and Chedaki Insurgents. Currently 32 player version.
Features:
* Securing Camps and Towns will show the flag of the faction in question. * Commander may resign by voting for AI which instantly switch to AI commander. * Unit map marker shows if team actually is in an armored vehicle, not just assigned such a role. * Kill messages has been removed and OnScreen messages shows below screen center. * Fast Travel is removed on all options but full map. * "No Addon" version allows a small set of infantry and light vehicles to be purchased from any friendly Towns Depot (empty vehicles). * Purchasing Vehicles at base populates the vehicles all turrets if available and leaves commander or gunner slot for the player. * Airsupport may be called in for a feasible price of $3500 and spawns a random aircraft/helo for player to "ai-control" (ai teams do the same so expect unsafe airspace). * If available, and you have Laser abilities, a proper aircraft will be assigned. Max 2 planes per side at any given time is allowed. * Dynamic weather is active and changes every 4 minutes. * Fast Time is running 3 minutes every 15 seconds (1 virtual hour for 5 minutes ingame). * Artillery
There are 2 options available to player in "vote" list: * [Group Respawn] Allows player to respawn in ai team member position with said weapons (those within 200m at time of death). * [Action Music] Controls if a music track will play when player dies.
Game Styles:
* Warfare or Invasion Warfare with East or West as Invader may be selected by server admin. * Invasion Warfare starts with all towns assigned to defending side while the invaders get 20x starting funds (500 vs 10000). Defenders can not win "all town" victory until Invaders have captured half the towns (from there normal Oden Warfare applies). * There is also settings available to limit player lives to 5 usually adding alot to the game experience. * For faster or more massive games there are options to play 6, 12, 18 towns in one of random 3 regions or All Map with all towns (needs a strong server).
