New Maps
[R-DEV]Dr Rank & [R-CON]DVB-PARAMEDIC.CA, each virtuosos in their own right, have a real treat in store for you with the addition of two new maps.

-Bi Ming (Daytime)
Dr Rank has converted his map "Bi Ming" into a daytime version which includes various mapping tweaks and changes. Be sure to check out Rank's Dev Journal post for more information.

-Operation Archer
Paramedic's "Operation Archer" was originally intended to be the first map to feature the Canadian Forces Community Mod. However, considering that our forums are flooded with requests for new maps, it will be featured in the 0.75 release. It will have the USMC in our insurgency game mode fighting a talibanesque force in a mountainous region of Afghanistan. It boasts a vast view distance, heavily fortified checkpoints, hidden caves and not to mention a huge central village composed almost entirely of destructible shacks and buildings.

Revised Maps

• All map tickets have been reduced by 100-150 tickets.
• Kashan Desert 16 has been revised and now focuses on infantry combat, supported by airborne transport helicopters, support trucks and jeeps.
• Sunset City 64 has been revised with less emphasis on cp capture and more battling over the heart of the city.
• Road to Kyongan Ni 64 APC's removed to increase freedom of tactical movements and cover.
• Fools Road adjustments made to the CP capture order.
• EJOD Desert tanks have been removed to emphasis mechanized infantry.
• Al Basrah has been tweaked to hopefully stop the server crashes. In addition, Insurgency Mode has been updated with only 3 weapon's caches active at the same time, as well as various other tweaks to civilians.

New Features

• Player-specific messages for kit request/commander (no more text spam at the top of the screen).
• Added a Demolish option for commander to relocate bunkers, firebases and AAs.
• Added Minefield map icon for engineers and commander.
• Replaced the deployable AA guns with AA missile systems.
• Most Rifle Ironsites have been completely redone.
• New Smoke Screen for Tanks and APCs.
• New helpful PR Tips displayed during loading screens.
• Added black screen when dead to avoid dead man spying.
• Added deployable supplies from Jeeps and APC's. These can be deployed anywhere on the battlefield and the Vehicles themselves can be re-stocked from firebases/bunkers.

Due to popular demand from the community, we have finally introduced the UH-1N Huey as the transport helicopter for the USMC (big thanks to Trahn Lee Liao from the EoD, Badscull from BGF and Jarleif from USI/PR... All from Black Sand Studios.)

The [R-CON]'s from down-under bring gifts. [R-CON]Chuc has created improved sights for several hand held weapons including the AK-47, G3A3, M68 Aimpoint, PKM and more! For all you crewmen, [R-CON]nedlands1 has provided a realistic "smoke screen" system. [R-CON]AncientMan has cleaned up your act with HUD changes and new PR tips.

New Shader Effects
Thanks to one of our newest [R-CON]'s, jodonnell and his partner in crime ctz (both on the award winning FH2 team), the effects of laying down suppression fire will be devastating on your enemy.
