IceBreakr has informed us about TvT Mission : The Collectors MP mission release on the BI Forums. Needed : A2+Arrowhead 1.59 or higher, Isla Duala v1.95 .
People of Vixena are reporting strange objects in the sky. They are calling in because they are scared. Local police unit is sending out all units to patrol the farms. Afrenian Army arrived to Hospital and set up perimeter defense. It is confirmed that UFO entered airspace over Djolan and landed somewhere on Vixena. Most probably landing spot is at Ramon's land property. Ramon is a wealthy man and no police or army may enter his complex. So Army is reinforcing police and trying to set defense line in the jungle.
Three aliens have a special task on Earth and a time limit of only 45 minutes to complete the mission. If they fail their mothership will leave them behind at mercy of Afrenian authorities. When aliens complete 2 objectives they must reach the extraction area near Djolan.
Assets available to Army/Police: pickups, pinzgauers, LAV-25, 1x CAS Squirrel, 2x transporter Squirrel, support vehicles, humvees, ammo crates with basic weapons.
Assets available to Aliens: siezed human vehicles, 1x Heavy tank, 1x UFO (unlocks for escape when both objectives are done), ammo crate with laser rifles & launcher.
Its getting dark soon so both sides have NVGs stored in various cargo. There is a scientist Hans Lundy living on Vixena and he knows his stuff. But more in the briefing for each side....

IceBreakr has released a Pilot's Secret, TvT mission for Isla Duala, up to 26 players (13 vs 11+2) on the BI Forums. Description: Isla Hazena. Afrenian chopper went down far behind enemy lines. Pilot has a knowledge, a secret, that could hurt Afrenian defenses in case of his capture. Both sides dispatch teams in order to get to the pilot first. Pilot must not die or both sides fail.
EAST | MOLATIAN HUNTING PARTY Molatian hunting party needs to capture pilot alive and force him to enter the Prison bunker where interrogations take place. After 5-12minutes inside the secret is told and Molatians win. Leader can then decide to: a) execute pilot b) prolong the mission by leaving pilot to rot in prison or hide him somewhere c) call opposition leader and organize the transfer across the Hazena bridge (pilot needs to walk across the bridge)
WEST | AFRENIAN RESCUE PARTY Afrenian rescue team needs to scramble and reach Hazena, locate burning wreck and search for a pilot. When he is secured, they need to get him back across the border (by vehicle or air). In case rescue party fails the pilot can steal a car and try to make it for the border by himself... but Molatians will be on his tail.
INDEPENDENT SIDE (PILOT & HIS PASSENGER) Pilot's priority is to survive, to see his wife and three kids again. If he comes in contact with Molatians, its best for him to surrender and hope to let him free soon (convince interrogator at the prison in 5-12 min. time). Sometimes he can have a companion in order to slow down the Molatians or lead them away from the pilot. But this passenger is expendable for both sides. If he dies he can try to assist again from the Rescue HQ (spawn).
Old Bear from the Clan ADO has released his Brik 2 v0.3 beta terrain on the Clan ADO site.
Brik2 is a map based upon the Brikby training grounds in Danemark.
This map of a 5km x 5km area features the training CQB village and a small part of the vehicles training grounds in the South. The map is based upon GoogleEarth pics as well as pictures send by a Danish correspondent ... many thanks to DeadEcho Team.
Of course, this Brik is NOT Brikby ! What I miss the most are the pretty, pinky, bricky houses they seem to like the most in this far away wet country. I have use the vanilla Bohemian stern and more or less dilapidated buildings, all of them enter-able of course !
Brik2 is a new totally rebuild version based on real terrain data, thanks to Akio. The terrain features broken grounds "for the sake of replayability", less hills and more bumps. The clutters amount and size has been also limited in order to help playability.
