The Battlefield 1918 mod has posted an update to their website. Check it out.

It's been quite some time since we last presented a new land vehicle to you guys. Don't worry though, the majority of our new airplanes have already been shown, and we'd love to show off our newest land vehicle today. The Rolls Royce armoured car, modelled and textured by Thorus, will be the standard British armoured car featured in our next release. This makes it the immediate counterpart to the German Ehrhardt. Slightly lighter armoured, but with a more powerful engine instead, it's role of armed reconnaissance and quick exploiting of breakthrough situations fits just nicely. Additionally, Thorus also presents the new Turkish hand grenade, a helpful tool in putting a stop to the nimble Rolls Royce.

About 150 pieces of these armoured vehicles were built, and were largely put to use in the Middle Eastern fronts since 1915. Additional information regarding the Rolls Royce can of coarse be found in our History Database.

And last but not least, we're once again on the look-out for additional teammembers. A fresh coder, preferably experienced in exporting objects, would be quite lovely indeed. Also, one or two modellers, preferably able to texture their own model, would also be very well received. And lastly, we're also on the look-out for a new mapper, experienced in BC, Editor42 and able to create lightmaps. All applications, complete with examples of previous work should go to Gamma.

The Unreal Demolition mod has posted several images on their website today. Check it out.

We got some renders of completed and textured models. A few of them are weapon pickups (rocket ammo, and flamethrower ammo) and the others are weapons, neither of which will be seen in first person view. The other renders we have are of the completed Wolf vehicle for UD. Also to clear up any questions people have, we have 2 projectile launchers, one is a standard rocket launcher, and one is a missile launcher. The rocket launcher is completed and we have a render here in this post available of it done and textured.

Also, as always, we have many jobs still available for anybody that wants to help out Team Derby. Stop by our jobs page and check out which job would best interest you and drop weisso a line.

The Deathball mod has posted an update for their fans. Check it out.

We aren't ready for the beta yet, just too major bugs left. Multiplayer ain't working at all, ball warps around like crazy, and many other flaws.

But I've recorded a happy little movie with the karma ball, gives you a feeling of what it's like.

Oh, and I've replaced the logos here and on the forums with this new one, with the new ball, and the rings turned golden.

DarkPepe from the Battlefield - Chile website conducted an interview with ArminAce from the Forgotten Hope mod. Read the Full Interview here.

DarkPepe:
Have you decided yet the new engine that FH will use in the Future? Have you considered UT2004, HALO or BF2 Engines?

ArminAce:
Well, we will move to a new engine soon. That is fact. We are also aware that other engines are also good, but we think that it’s easier to port to bf2. But also this isn’t really clear because no one got any piece of code from it
If it’s going to be hard to port to bf2 then maybe we will move to a different engine, because other companies have right now better support but, we will see what the future brings.

Who Dares Wins has an update for their fans. Check it out.

It's time to post tons of pics, of our map Beaufort Castle. This map takes place on June 6, 1982, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Beaufort Castle was a ruined Crusader fortress built on top of a strategic hill that commanded much of South Lebanon. The Palestinain Liberation Organization (PLO) used it for artillery spotting. The task of capturing the Beaufort was given to the elite Israeli Sayeret Golani brigade. [View Pics]

The Finn Wars mod has posted an update concerning their status.

During the last few weeks we have tried to finish our upcoming 0.57 bug patch, but it has taken more time than we expected. Probably it will take two or more weeks until it's released. It will mainly contain fixes for issues found on Finnwars Tournament games and also for many glitches used on public servers. In addition, we are working with Continuation War version, which will also be released pretty soon.
