Since ArmA1 for me :), never played the first one since ArmA2 was already out (or close to it), so it got the uninstall shortly after.

Sounds excellent, I knew you would "Never Let Me Down Again".

;)

Awesome!

WOW, how long's it take to move between towns?

Also, will you be allowing permission for others to modify the mission? Looks like there's huge potential in this.

Depends...however it shouldn't take long. You should be able to find the action quickly. There will be frontal bases between the towns which can be captured. There will be mobile spawning, spawning from facilities within any town so long as it's captured by your side. You should be able to spawn from any facility your side owns no matter what location.

We encourage community participation. This mission will be available to modify with permission given to those that ask. Any changes made to the Game mode will be re-released through our mod team with credits given to various groups/individuals that participate.

There are too many items to list. Wait for the official wiki that lists all the items, their classes, and gives instructions on how to use certain features.

1. In the main Game mode, it's Axis VS Allied.

2. Yes there are many scripting modules that come with the mod.

Aww :(

[trickster1982 10]

Will the mod be playable in single player as well? I'd love to play it but not if I have to do it multiplayer, not really my cup of tea anymore

[canis lupus 20]

yes of course everythig will be available in the editor so you can make single player missions, but I don't think there will be any singleplayer missions included, but surely someone will make some son after release.

[Aqu 0]

...except maybe some tutorial missions how you can use some of the special weapons which require bit more than just placing on the map in the editor. (V1, V2, gliders,...). EDIT: All the stuff is not there yet in the the 1st phase.

Does this release even have the huge island? Also, what kinds of details does the island have? What I mean is do they have towns such as Saint Lo,St. Mere eglise? etc.

Yes...if you read the thread you will know how big the island is. The Map has many details. Yes it has Saint-Lo, St Mere Eglise, etc. & many more.

[B17gunner98th 10]

Haha, I read the thread. But I didn't know if anything had changed at all in terms of some change ups of the islands. Thanks :) Looks beautiful btw you can tell all the hard work put into it. Put this into my list of mod of the year.

Did you put any custom buildings specialized for french architecture in 40s'?

[JSj 12]

I see this has been mentioned before a while back, but I really hope you will make this compatible with ACE 2. There are so many ACE features that I could not live without, so having to disable ACE while playing this is not an option for me. Given the extreme popularity of ACE, I'm sure many people agree with me.

Playing without things like overpressure effects from tank guns, backblast from AT launchers, a reload system similar to the one in the game Red Orchestra (no ammo counter, just a message about the weight of the magazine when reloading), stamina effects so you cannot run for several kilometers at full speed with 100 kg of gear, and many, many more, would be a dealbreaker for me. I'd just miss all those features too much. And that would be a shame, given the obvious quality of this work.

No!!! Please don't waste any time to make that project ACE compatible...

This could be done later on too.
