galzohar has released an updated HOLD 50 Bunker Control: Kabanino PvP mission on the BI Forums.
Description:
This is a respawn-based HOLD-type mission. There are 4 bunkers round Kabanino, about 1km away from the bases that need to be taken. Staying 10 seconds in a bunker will turn it to your side, and every second your side holds a bunker rewards 1 point. The mission includes a large variety of weapons, vehicles and aircraft.
Features:
- Smaller size than your average PvP map, which allows playing with less players (we even had fun playing 2 vs 2!), yet has plenty of space for even aircraft to have a use.
- Loadout saving at ammo box at base.
- Spawn/baserape protection which is (hopefully) not abuseable.
- Efficient and responsive scripting - most scripts react instantly yet it runs light and is only 90kb.
- Modified loadouts (based on their RL capabilities) for F35B and AV8B for improved realism and gameplay.
The smaller HOLD 16 Bunker Control Chernogorsk has updated as well.
This time the 4 bunkers are very close together and the bases are not far either, so that the map works with very few players. This map is very urban-focused, no heavy vehicles or long range combat here, which I find required for making a mission work with such a low player count.

Bohemia Interactive Studios has released a new ArmA2 Beta Patch v1.03.59025 on the Official ArmA2.com beta page.
Arma 2 Beta is a public preview release intended for developer testing and community feedback. It may be updated often and we use it to verify that a bug we are tracking has been fixed. This semi-automated release pipeline was designed primarily for our various external QA teams but we believe it makes sense to keep this open and transparent to the entire user community. However, please understand that it's released for advanced users only and for those who would like to give their helping hand with the testing and further development or simply to see what future versions of Arma 2 may bring.
If you're not interested in testing beta patches (which of course is completely understandable), please just ignore this message and act as if you never read it as there's simply no reason for you to bother about the beta builds at all. There is no need to start complaining about the open beta release policy as we believe it's doing no harm to anyone and can only speed up the entire development process. The complexity of Arma 2 has reached a nearly critical level, especially with all of the user addons and modifications, that testing of the game also requires a more agile approach and this is our attempt to address it.

oktane has released a Sound Test Application using XAudio2 API on the BI Forums.
Due to some problems with sound that some are having (including myself), I compiled an app from the latest Microsoft DirectX SDK which uses the XAudio2 API. I didn't write it, a dude at Microsoft did. This is the same API that the game uses, so it is ideal for:
-Testing to see if your drivers work ok with XAudio2
-Making sure that your DirectX is functioning (app will error out if not)
-Testing surround sound for proper functioning
-Positioning surround sound speakers to avoid dead spots
I have not tested it on anything but Vista and Windows 7 so if someone has XP, let me know if it works ok!
Post your comments here or on the BI Forums thread !

DMarwick has released a JTD_FireAndSmoke beta 0.1 addon on the BI Forums.
JTD_FireAndSmoke is an effects addon that adds bigger, better and more useful smoke than the default ingame smoke. The ingame smoke is unaffected, this addon "layers" effects over the top. It's MP compliant, looks great, and is AI viewblock by default. Destroyed vehicles will send up huge plumes of smoke visible from miles away and last a long time, very useful for a sense of battlefield presence and history. Additional to this there is a propagating fire functionality that will set forests, buildings and vehicles on fire dependant on proximity, wind, and rain.

Inkompetent has released an updated 1.11 version of his Disposable M-136 and RPG-18 addon on the BI Forums. This small addon makes the M136 (AT-4) and RPG-18 man-portable, shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons into one-shot throw away weapons as they are in reality.
v1.11 (2009-09-10):
- Added: LAV-25, AAV-7, BMP-3 and BTR-90 have got disposable launchers added to their cargo. Numbers depend on vehicle size.
- Fixed: Ammo boxes and vehicles have got their cargo changed to provide enough launchers
- Fixed: Correct displayNames for magazines
- Fixed: Magazines (rockets) on ground are now invisible.
v1.1 (2009-09-09)
- Added: Automatic ammunition management for players and AI. As long as you carry a M136 or RPG-18 you don't need to worry about ammo anymore.
- Added: Ammo won't take any inventory space for players. AI carries ammo as normal though, not to mess up their ability to fire.
- Added: Forced reload when weaponing launcher to simulate preparing the weapon.
- Added: Automatic throwaway of launcher when switching weapon
- Fixed: Player is no longer forced to kneel and drop weapon shortly after firing
- Broken: Discarded tubes might spin like a merry-go-round and bounce like a rubber ball.
