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. First of all, maybe a quick remember what we did and not finished here during this 20 years in correct order: Operation Flashpoint: 1. Conspiracies Part 1 (100%) 2. Conspiracies Part 2 (100%) 3. Conspiracies: The Experience (100%) 4. Conspiracies Deluxe (100%) Armed Assault: 1. V.I.R.U.S. (100%) (Some guys in germany may remember, we have been in the gaming-press XD) 2. Conspiracies Rising Dead 1 (100%) Armed Assault 2: 1. Conspiracies Rising Dead 2 (including DLCs, Hidden Danger & Call of Prypjat) (100%) 2. Conspiracies Apocalypse (100%) (DLC Future Reactions, never released 50%) 3. Conspiracies: Substance (100%) 4. Conspiracies Part 3 (100%) 5. Conspiracies: Operation Evac (100%) 6. Conspiracies: Bloodlines (never released 30%, turned to CA2) 7. Conspiracies Apocalypse 2 (100%) 8. Conspiracies Apocalpyse 3 (never released 40%) 9. Conspiracies 4 (100%) 10. Conspiracies LOST (never released 60%) 11. Special Units (never released 80%) 12. Conspiracies The Survivor Thirsk Infection (100%) Armed Assault 3: 1. Consp1racie5 (including DLCs: Red Maple, Red Maple - It was worth it, Stars and Stripes, Exit From Hell, 100%) 2. FRONTLINE: Season 1(100%) 3. FRONTLINE: COLD IRON (100%) 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!

Hello fellows, after years of throwing this project on another desk, I am finally back to my original source of the Conspiracies-series. We started already in 2007 (that was ARMA time) with that project but couldnt get it finished due the limitations for ARMA. A couple of years ago this was developed as a Conspiracies Rising Dead 4, but also here it got back to the "maybe later desk". Now with ARMA3 we have found a possibility to make our dream finally come true. Like maybe the old player from Conspiracies Part and 2 from 2005 and 2006 may noticed, I wanted to create a unique looking, unique feeling and absolutly incredible detailed gameworld for the chernobyl setting. I guess meanwhile we can say, the gameworld is looking that way, we want to have it. Due a new system how to build that kind of gameworld, we have a very good performance which is with our latest ALPHA build 248 test never under 40 FPS with a pretty much common PC. (i7, 12GB RAM, GeForce 1050, 2TB HDD - this PC is 6 years old) May some of you will be concerned about the fact we will build up everything with the regular EDEN-Editor, but there are reasons for it - specially, believe it or not, performance reasons. I know there are a few chernobyl maps out there already we could use, but we simply dont want to. We want to create an own immersive gameworld with a lot details in every corner. www.conspiracies-game.com This is not going to be a STALKER 2 for sure. Also we are waiting for it since the release of Part 1. Even Conspiracies Part 1 got released 2 years before stalker with the same theme 😉 Lets go for some facts of this project: FACTS: - 4x4km² highly detailed gameworld (with option to update areas and expand the gameworld with updates) - unique storyline - monsters of the STALKER universe and additionals - anomalies of the STALKER universe and additionals - different factions from the very first Conspiracies Parts (Cleaners, bandits ect.) - semi-open world (like in the FRONTLINE - COLD IRON project or also like STALKER SOC) - inlcuding all important places of chernobyl - Storymode is playable up to 8 players COOP - different gamemodes (more to that later) - an additional new map for multiplayer purposes PLACES & DEV-State: - Chernobyl Powerplant (100%) - Prypjat (100%) - Chernobyl Town (100%) - Jupiter Researchfacility (100%) - Duga Radarstation (100%) - Army outposts (100%) - old School (100%) - several villages (100%) - Red Forest (100%) - several Researchfacilities (100%) - small Bunkers (100%) - underground Bunkers and Facilities (100%) - Vehicle graveyard (100%) - Yanov Trainstation (0%) - Swamp (0%) - Reactor block No.5 (0%) STORYLINE: WHY NOW? There are reason why I am just announcing the project now, since the last Alpha 248 test we are sure that the performance is going to work also for older PCs. Myself is working on that project since more then 10 years, since a bit more then a year now for the ARMA3 platform. Since we never had been sure if its working that way we wanted, I was doing that on my own secret bunker so to say, but I think its time to say: The original Conspiracies, is finally back.

Hello boys and girls, I am going to vacation now till wendsday, so if you have something you need to tell us or need somebody for troubleshooting, Freespirit will be your partner for answering your question. 😃 Keep posting here if you have troubles or something. 😃 Regards MaturE

Tadaaaaa, enjoy people! CONSPIRACIES: ORIGINS v1.0: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2564056747 Regards MaturE

@major_barnes1987 Thank you for participating on that thread. 😃 Glad you like it. We actually having the final tests at the weekend. The game is finished already, its just about the final testing to clear all the bug we encountered. But we noticed its way more hard to fix bugs then it was on the older projects for ARMA2 and OFP. Probably because also Conspiracies Origins had a very difficult development phase. Since the game itself was created with 5 parts seperatly and put in together after all of the parts have been finished. Regards MaturE

I am very happy if you enjoyed it 😃 Our plan is to update this Conspiracies Origins for maybe a year with new content. So this CORE version 1.0 is just the start whats going to be released very soon. 😃 So additional conent will be delivered over time. With new scenarios, new gameworlds, new characters ect. This is going to be a big one. 😃 And of course will try to bring the ARMA3 engine somewhere to its limits. 😄 Regards MaturE

In the end of the week, ladies and gentlemen, I can present the first real trailer of this project. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while creating it 😉 Regards MaturE

Yea thx Evans. I dont get it either, I mean what was that last time when FRONTLINE-Season 01 got released, I think it was a freaking model for an old telephone or such, that got downloaded 30000+ times... jesus^^ Well I was just working on the last missions in Prypjat right now and I can not resist, I need to share that pictures with you. 😃 Before somebody asks, no its pure ingame graphics.

Thank you boys and girls 😃 Sry I forgot the ladies, my apologize 😃 @Valken We indeed had plans for it. Also on the original setting, Con-Origins should have been a Remake of Conspiracies: Deluxe. 😄 On the webpage there is at least still a Download-link for the Conspiracies Deluxe mod. Problem is, the old parts has been stored on older PC which nobody uses here and we didnt do any copies of it back in the 2010s. (PCs are gone already) Just in the last year I managed to get a small office running for a few people to work on my side directly. But it really depends on how much interess there is in total for a remake. But calling it a masterpiece, gives me hope to enjoy the comments after release. 😉 It indeed will be the in my opinion the best Conspiracies we ever created, also we spend not just work into it but also money. BI-forums are not the same as it was 15 years ago. Rare feedback on everything, so that makes it hard to develope something that is fitting to you guys. Regards MaturE

Hey guys, short update. We finished our website, so its now accessable by public. www.conspiracies-game.com If you are interessted register to the forums there for exclusive infos and talks. Not too much in there but I will fill it up the next days. Also you will find some interessting infos about the whole conspiracies-franchise. Also we can present the Main Theme of Conspiracies Origins, fresh out of the box. Enjoy gentlemen. MaturE

Some pics from the stuff we tested tonight... It is about the raid on the DUGA-Radiostation... was a lot of fun... 😃 Our base, build up to Stage 1 already 😃 Joker giving a meeting Raid starts at the entrance to DUGA Special units landed by helicopter to support the enemy Some CQB Blow up the Communication Antenna and jumping from the roof in that second 😄 Exploring X16 labs... Rats, everywhere... This guy is a problem... More CQB (no I didnt made it alive out of that situation) Regards MaturE

Some guys frequently asking me for the underground labs. How they will look like, this pics will give you the answer. We are close to the first beta-version. In total CON-Origins is seperated in 3 parts in development of the gameworld, they will be merged if every chapter is completed. First chapter is already in beta. Second one is going to beta next week somewhen, The third one is still on the early alpha stage. It was a huge mission for my guys to get used to this kind of development. We are working hard to release a proper website for this project soon with tons of informations about upcoming dlcs, enemies, places, multiplayer and singleplayer infos. But here we go with the pics i promised. 😃 Regards MaturE

Revealing some story stuff... 😃

@froggyluv hey dude, i think this idea is not too bad and I will see if I can implement this. So far what I can say from the last alpha test, the footage you can see in the teaser, we only got positive judgements. Some bugs still here and there, and clipping needs to be fixed on some locations. But in total everyone was really satisfied so far. As a surprise the tester really liked that little feature to get dogs on your side on certain spots. What havent been included on that alpha was for example the teambuild-feature. So you can build up your team with diffrent AIs and different abilities. Also you can update your base later on, because the zone and other bandits always striking back. The features are implemented already and working good, but we wanted to focus on the important things first, which is the regulary gameplay. A few people couldnt stop saying how beautiful the gameworld is looking, so I am very satisfied on that point. 😄 Leaving that post with a few additional shots from the alpha 306... Regards MaturE

Hey guys, some fresh stuff for you. 😃 Regards MaturE

Hello gentlemen, this week at saturday we will go for an open alpha test of the build 306 (for the first time in history of BPOF). If you want to join send me a PM, you will get all the links you need and the contacts for discord any further infos. We will start at 8PM GMT+1. Please sign in until Friday evening, so we can edit the file for the amount of players. What is awaiting you? - several missions in coop in the open world storyline-scenario - parts of the storyline - completed gameworld for the alpha stage - a few bpof-members playing it also - anomalies - monsters, mutants ect... - bandits, cleaners and other factions - lot of fun hopefully - open end requirements: - good mood, english speaking or german speaking - a mic and discord installed on your pc - 15gb space on your hard disk Regards MaturE

Almost done with Prypjat 😃

@Private Evans: to answer your questions: I judging the whole thing in the first release about 15GB. But I can say, Cup -Terrains Core is already almost 10Gbs so, everybody should have that one anyways...^^ 32 mods so far in total, including our new MP-Map and the scenario as SP and MP-COOP version. Underground facilities will be only on the EDEN-created gameworld for SP and MP-COOP. The other new map (which is a real map you can select in the Editor) will be a only for MP-Mode map for upcoming updates. @corporal_lib[br]: We indeed need tons of testers for it. We usually testing it in MP-Coop in the current Alpha-stages. So you probably could have fun with our testers here and myself. 😃 @Valken: Glad to see old buddys around. 😉 First post has been edited and I typed in the places that can be seen on Version 1.0 with their actual dev-state. BTW: Before somebody is asking about vehicles, this should give the answer. And of course, also this Conspiracies will come with a unique soundtrack for the scenario, made by myself. 😃 Today we will present the first Gameworld Reveal Teaser. Regards MaturE

A bit slow but, here we go with the MP-Version of FRONTLINE - COLD IRON on version 1.1. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=2508490220

Hi folks, we came to the conclusion it will be a WW2 scenery. Since we noticed that there are a few WW2 mods out there already, we want to use them for our campaign, what will be the heart of FRONTLINE. But we also need a lot of new models for now. Specially german Tanks, british fighters (air) are required. So if somebody of you is interessted to join on that project, we would love to work together with you. What is FRONTLINE: FRONTLINE will be in the first hand a campaign about the WW2. It will include every important and well known battle of WW2 and also the not known fights against the nazi regime. But ok whats new on it? I will tell you: On one hand we have the regular fights everybody knows from other mods already, but we also want to include the resistance or civil life missions into the campaign. The campaign it self should cover all of the WW2 scenarios with ALL of the incidents. It will be a whole story of WW2 ingame. Since there are not enough models out there for planes, tanks and soldiers, we want to ask here to join our group to create the most realitsic and enthusiatsic WW2 feeling ever. Including concentrations camps, playing a german soldiers in the campaign, try to survive as a civilist, just everything that happened. A real diary of war. The whole campaign will be playable as a 4 players COOP campaign. With all the scary shit and brutal shit happened on WW2 without excuses. PLANNED CAMPAIGN CONTENT: FRONTLINE will be seperated in Seasons: - SEASON 01 (1939 - early 1940) 6 Episodes: Episode 01: TIME: 3rd September 1939 PLACES: Poland - Weichselbridge Dirschau, Polish Army Outpost, Somewhere on the fields PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Polish Army Episode 02: TIME: 4th September 1939 PLACES: England, Germany - Wilhelmshaven PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: British Pilots Episode 03: TIME: 8th September 1939 PLACES: Poland - 20km south of Modlin PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Polish Army Episode 04: TIME: 13th October 1939 PLACES: Poland - Warsaw, Warsaw Underground PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Resistance Episode 05: TIME: 7th January 1940 PLACES: Germany - Concentration Camp Dachau PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Civils Episode 06: TIME: 14th March 1940 PLACES: Poland - Krakow PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: German SS Multiplayer-Part: Several Gamemodes on the known places used in the Campaign and some extra designed Eden maps for MP such like Danzig. more Infos later on that... DOWNLOAD: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2375757963&searchtext= - SEASON 02 (1940 - December 1941) 7 Episodes: Episode 01: TIME: 9th April - 9th May 1940 PLACES: Norway PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Germany - Paratroopers/Navy Episode 02: TIME: 10th May - 2nd July 1940 PLACES: France PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Germany - Infantry/Tanks Episode 03: TIME: 3rd July - 12th October 1940 PLACES: Britain PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Great Britain - Airforce Episode 04: TIME: 13th October - 27th October 1940 PLACES: France PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: French Resistance - Infantry Episode 05: TIME: 28th October - 1st February 1941 PLACES: Greece PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Italy - Infantry/Commando Episode 06: TIME: 2nd February - 21th June 1941 PLACES: Africa PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Great Britain - Infantry/Airforce/Tanks Episode 07: TIME: 22th June - 6th December 1941 PLACES: Russia/Finland PLAYABLE CHARACTERS: Germany/Finland - Infantry/Airforce - Season 03 (1941 - 1942) - Season 04 (1943 - May 1944) - Season 05 (June 1944 - End 1944) - Season 06 (1945 - end of war) STANDALONE DLCs: FRONTLINE - COLD IRON: current Version: 1.0 FRONTLINE - COLD IRON will get the player into Stalingrad 1943. As a russian well known sniper "Vassili Saizew" you will try to recapture the city step by step. COLD IRON is a semi-open-world scenario with included survival elements. You will need to eat, drink and warm up during the cold outside. FRONTLINE - COLD IRON is an open end project, so there is still room to add content in that scenerio later on. For now we have around 15 missions to complete in the gameworld. There are multiple ways to complete a mission and how to get there. Your actions are limited by the gameworld itself, thats why we will call it a semi-open-world. The gameworld itself is highly detailed, probably the best looking gameworld of ARMA3 so far. What makes COLD IRON really special is the atmosphere, in every corner or window can be a german sniper, you always need to be careful while moving through Stalingrad. The Stalingrad-gameworld is a fictional one, since we decided to let the gameworld designer some freedom for designing a gameworld. COLD IRON can be played as a singleplayer mission which will cause a lot of savings or as multiplayer for 4 people in COOP. COLD IRON is hard to play due the realism and survival additions. Its recommended to use a proper PC tu run FRONTLINE COLD IRON. SP-Version 1.0 DOWNLOAD: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2486768764 MP-Version 1.1 DOWNLOAD: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508490220 WEBSITE: www.frontline-game.com FRONTLINE SOUNDTRACK: FRONTLINE will come with a unique, 100% new made soundtrack, specially for this campaign. We are working with different music programs and musicians together to create a unique soundtrack for FRONTLINE. The initial soundtrack of FRONTLINE will be available later on Soundcloud and on our Youtube-Channel of BPOF Black Panthers On Fight. PLANNED ADDONS: British: - Blenheim Bomber - Crusader Tank French: - Renault FT Tank WHAT WE NEED HELP WITH: So for now we are just searching for more people here to support us. We got some support from museums already for history stuff, this one needs to be perfect. If you are interessted give me a message here in the forums. Searching for: -Modellers, -Graphical artists -guys who well know the WW2 history -Soundartists -Voiceactors (urgent) for Polish, German, English and French Regards MaturE

Hello people, me again... since some trouble on Freespirit's side, I took control back here for the Frontline project and can announce that we have just right now the final testing stage of the FRONTLINE Cold Iron project on MP. It will probably completed during the night so if everything will run good, you will have the release tomorrow. Its anyway better to play with friends. 😃 PS: Also Season 02 finally went to the final testings. It will take some days but should be finished in a few if everything is working. Stay healthy. Regards MaturE

Hello gents, we are working hard on the MP-Version for Cold-Iron, I expect to release that next week and we are also looking forward to Season 02 finally. Season 02 could have been released already but due the lack of personel right now, specially tester side its hard to do. i dont want to bring an unfinished product. Also I need to state that I am moving as a Project-Leader to another project, probably a lot of old Conspiracies-Fans waited for. Freespirit will take lead on the FRONTLINE-Project and keep you updated the next days. Regards MaturE

Hi petrtlach, I am just not posting all the things I want to say, my intentions are not to make things worse or discussing about something that seems to be useless. You got your knowledge, I got my stories from a dying man, thats what is counting to me. Since you could not respond to my PM, where I was asking what was wrong with that, IDK what to thing about it. To the other thing, I think you are not CSA38 on your own, because there a probably a few which helped on that. There are at minimum one other developer in Steam so... Would be a bit selfish to say you are CSA38 I guess? But I dont want to break something that isnt there so, anyways, I love to use your mod and its high quality stuff you made there. Respect on that. We will use that in Season 02, (which will be more historical correct then Cold Iron) And I think we may need more enthusiasts on WW2 theme in Arma3. Definitly you and maybe other did a great job on CSA38, definitly a huge hug for that. PS: AROUND Stalingrad is not IN Stalingrad... (also if we use Tiger IN Stalingrad indeed for gameplay purposes - we never said that Cold Iron will be 100% historical correct anyways) Quick Edit: Cold Iron is our tribute to the passed away former soldier, this thing is based on his memory and feels, also if its from the russian side as a player. Regards MaturE 🙂

Hey guys, we just released the SP-Version on STEAM of FRONTLINE - COLD IRON. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2486768764 Regards MaturE

Thank you Evans. 😃 Good historical background there 😃 Anyways you will see only 2 Tigers in total on Cold Iron. Therefor I will release the official trailer for Cold Iron. 😉 Regards MaturE
