McNools has released an updated [OA]Tier One Operators V3.0 ((now with heavies!)) addon on the BI Forums.
These units are meant to be elite forces often working behind enemy lines, blending in with the people and culture of takistan, they are avaible in both combat outfits with some local clothing and state-of-the-art military equipment, aswell as undercover-versions with civilian clothing and more basic and local weaponry.
I left them generic on purpose so that they can represent any number of elite operators, from Delta Force to maybe even the CIA.
I don't think I'll implement anything new into this now, once I start modding I can't really stop (hardly even for sleeping), so I need to calm down a bit now. I'll try to fix bugs/problems though, but I probably won't implement anything new, atleast nothing big.
Installation instructions etc. are in the readme.
NEW IN 3.0 (read it, there's a lot of nice, requested stuff):
Added new units: * * "Heavy Operator" -version of most of the Operators, with helmets and DCU-camo. * Added several versions of the Operator-units with M4A3-rifles instead of the SCAR-series. * Undercover Grenadier (with M4A3) * Undercover Automatic Rifleman (with RPK) * Undercover AT (with AK74 and RPG)
Config changes/fixes: * Config is now in a separate .pbo * Made heads selectable in the player profile aswell as addable with the setface-command, * (the names are: tierface01 all the way to tierface24) * Added correct unit icon for medicV2. * Head armor has been adjusted (they had helmet-armor before) * Added some fixes to make it work better with ACE. * Added more suitable backpacks for some of the units.
Minor changes: * Units now wear shades etc. * Fixed up some texture-flaws. * Minor changes in textures on some units. * Added some DCU-camo to the operators (not the undercover-operators) that didn't have any yet. (Apart from the Silenced one)
Nemesi has informed us about the release of the "Scalapatraz" C&H Tactical MP Game Mode by {BDR}*IlSocio* and {BDR}*Inpace* on the BI forums.This game mode is available on Combined Operations (Arma2 + Arrowhead) only.
Scalapatraz is a new tactical team vs team game mode that will really test your skills.
Description
It's based on a Capture & Hold, with one or more sector to conquer and maintain to raise your score. Conquering the sectors is based on parameters. You can choose how many players are needed to conquer the sector, from 1 (easy mode, suited for public servers) to 4 (very hard mode, recommended only for very organized teams and for clanwars). The possibility to choose the number of players needed to conquer a sector is intended to enhance and select the level of teamwork required. At variance with others C&H, this new gamemode is teamwork based.
Most of you will be armed only with the basic equipment and just a few of you will have access to special weapons such as rocket launchers or sniper rifles. You need to coordinate and manage your resources as best if you want to prevail over the opposing faction!
You'll have many vehicles at your base. Just remember that they will not respawn if destroyed. This mode is intended to be realistic, however, you can always rearm and repair your vehicles at your base. Again, the possibility of creating a vehicle (motorbike only) is based on a selectable parameter. Depending on the selected parameter, you will be more and more forced to coordinate with other players.
Capture a sector will not be easy. You'll need to make team play and cover each other, you must stay close to the flags for a long time and you'll often be in open field!
You can play this mode at different times of day, including night. In this case you will be able to use your night equipment that is available when you'll choose your gear.
One last thing to know: there will be no bonuses during the game, not even at the end of the match. You must fight for the sectors from the beginning! There is no time to loose. Remember that coordination and teamwork is all you can count to prevail over the opposing faction.
Lastly, what does Scalapatraz mean? Basically nothing, it is a battle cry with a story behind ..
Each mission has a different numbers of sectors to conquer. In detail : 3 missions with 1 sectors, 1 mission with 2 sectors, 1 mission with 3 sectors, 1 mission with 6 sectors.
Play Scalapatraz on BDR CLAN Server (ip:94.23.8.137:2302) or Lega Italiana Arma Server (ip:87.106.12.135:2340)

VanhA has informed us about the release of an updated co08 Hitmen wear Armani mission on the BI Forums.
Story/background: The Takistani have a neutral camp in Feruz Abad where they have been teaching the local militia to use UAV's in search for US forces. The one in question has been stolen from a US airbase. Allegations of also using biological weapons have resulted in them approving an international team to come in and check the site. However, the team has been replaced by 4 elite killers hired by the US forces and assisting field medics to give credibility in medical residue search.
4 hitmen are entering a Takistani compound. Local resistance has managed to smuggle in a crate with some weapons in it. They said it to be in a tent. Once having dealt with the Takistani compound, destroy the UAV from Anar and go report your success to the local commander.
Changes in v1.1: *Added atmosphere to town *JIP players get a weapon but only if the alarm has been raised *Removed AA weapons and satchel from beginning (Killing target with satchel failed sometimes to trigger eventHandler) *Changed pistols from crate as silenced UZI's *Added reinforcements after alarm *Chopper might lift off *Small tweaks (The tasks JIP might not work properly but it's because taskmaster is intended for dedicated use)

* Azimuth and elevation markers now calibrated. Extreme position of them means deflection 200 meters. * Horizontal and vertical axes now have marking, so possible to shoot, for example, 50 meter righter designated target location. Be aware that those adjustment do not assumes altitude changes of terrain. To minimize deviation, caused by it, use high solution. * Calculations optimized. * BalCa now is item. To add it to inventory write in unit init * To use ballistic calculator you should be inside vehicle (cannon, mortar, grenade launcher) and have BalCa in inventory. Also some vehicles (AAV,BMP3,BTR90) have built-in ballistic calculator, so no need to have BalCa in inventory.
McNools has released an updated M4A3 with Acog & IR Laser AND M4A3 with ironsights by Max255[PL], Jelliz and McNools V2 addon on the BI Forums.
Max255[PL] and I discovered some unused M4 models hidden within the Weapons_E.pbo, two of them seems to crash the game, but one of them, the ACOG-version worked well thanks to config efforts done by Max255[PL] who got it working properly with both the ACOG-sight and the IR-laser.
I retextured the weapon to better suit the other camo M4's in the game, aswell as the acog sight, (the weapon itself had a much darker brown desert-camo), I also retextured the weapons icon to suit this new texture, and added a ammo-box in the editor (M4A3 Acog box) so that people can try it out quickly and easily.
It hasn't been tested much, so there might be some unknown issues as this point. Changelog: Thanks to the efforts of Jelliz, the mod now includes a M4A3 with ironsights.
granQ has released a Swedish Forces Pack - SFP 2015 Public Beta on the BI Forums.
After months of work we feel its time to share. This release covers most of our ambition of soldiers, weapons for the 2015 scenario (A 1981 scenario is also coming later). It is however full with bugs, there of the name beta. However we think people can have some fun, get a taste of what is coming.
Currently including:
* 2 Aircrafts, Saab JAS 39 Griffin and the Saab 105 in a "counter insurgency" configuration. * 2 helicopters, the NH 90 and the A109. * Several armored vehicles including the Leo 2 and the Swedish Cv 90. * The RGM 32 patrol vehicle. * Soldiers in desert, woodland and winter uniforms. * Several weapons.
Our team is also looking for new talents and we are looking to fill this positions:
* ACE/config expert. (To make a separate fully compatible config for ACE) * More players * Mission editors * Config fixers * Documentation writers * More modellers, esp for the 1981 scenario * Textures, to improve our current models. * World editors, to help out with the Swedish island currently in progress.
This release is available in two different packages. One includes bugs and one is without. For people that normal post bug reports, doesn't like when things isn't up to ArmA2 quality we recommend the High Quality No-Bugs version and for laid back casual gamers we recommend Low Quality Bugs version.
Old Bear note : due to the requirements and size, we are unable to host the High Quality No-Bugs version but we are feeling every "laid back" gamers are going to be happy with the version we host.
