One of the OFP veterans

Helle Community,

 

its am long time ago, I posted something here. I just want to thank everyone who enjoyed my content over the years. Its in total I think 20 years ago, I joined BI-Forums meanwhile. I really appreciate all the good hours I had with you all. I hope there still some guys out there who knows titles like Conspiracies (OFP, A1, A2 and A3), V.I.R.U.S. (A1) and all other ones. I just want to say thank you to you all, for playing our created stuff. Its already 20 years now, hard to believe, but its the truth. For me its just important that you know some facts. Our team, what you all may know as BT (Battletek) or BAC (Battle-Arts-Company), also BPOF (Black Panthers On Fight) has just break up completly, there is nothing left, except me. I may just want to tell you a few things which may give the one or another a slap to think about it.

4. FRONTLINE: Season 2 (never released 95%)

5. Conspiracies: Origins (100%)

 

I just want to tell you, whats probably for all other modcreators here, we spend a lot of money and time into this projects over the time. We never wanted any money of you gusy playing it. I hope youi all enjoyed it.

I am just very upset to look back and see, that a lot projects couldnt be finished, the reason mostly is the feedback on the BI-forums. We had specially FRONTLINE season 2 as good as finished... We just stopped due the lack of interess. Its a few years ago already, but surely we had a good time creating it. We are very said we couldnt release it anyway, also if it was almost finished.

 

I had a lot to do with family and kids now, but I want to return to this ARMA-Community, this is my home. I am working on my own project now which is picking up the "Special Units" thingy again. It would be glad to hear that there are people out there, who would look forward to get this one finished finally and released. I know I switched name meanwhile from Sled88 to MaturE but I am still the same person. Still alive, still want to bring you some good campaings and stuff.

 

Just to let you all know what we did, I just put some links in here to never get forgotton, since 2 members of the original team died already:

 

Conspiracies Rising Dead 2:

 

Special Units:

 

Conspiracies Rising Dead 3:

 

Conspiracies: LOST

 

Conspiracies Apocalypse 2:

 

Conspiracies Part 3:

 

Conspiracies Rising Dead:

 

Conspiracies: Origins

 

 

FRONTLINE Season 2:

 

 

FRONTLINE Season 1:

 

Special Stuff for Conspiracies Origins:

 

 

Thank you for reading and remember the great times with ARMA3. I am currently working on finishing "Cold Case" which is going to be a remake of "Special Units" which I may present the next days. Is a very story driven Campaign, just like Conspiracies Part 1 was. Back to the roots with only me as a creator.

 

Just to add maybe: For the FRONTLINE porject, we have spoken to a lot of veterans, to make it correct as possible to ther players. Also the soundtrack was a lot of work for this. FRONTLINE had the biggest crew every on BPOF this times, we had been 20 people working on it. Otherwise Conspiracies: Origins was the biggest project we ever had in development, almost 2 years, we just stopped with all, due the lack of feedback. (We had 3 DLCs planned for it, almost finished the first one)

 

In whole, I just want to thank BI for all the great times on my life with giving something to people! Thank you for your games and platforms! I hope some will remember this mods/campaigns, BI has been my life for more then 20 years!

 

Merry Christmas to all!
