That looks quite interesting but when you play this game mode and on which server?
I haven't seen server with this mission yet.

What about OA and balance between OPFOR and BLUEFOR, how you going to solve it?

Berzerk missions doesn't feels good with OA so I'm really interested with your A&S.

[kju]

You are welcome mant3z.

You can try it on our server (getSkillD.de).
We are playing every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday 20 CET+.

There will be a clanbase ladder starting this week with A&S ProMode.
Overall A&S ProMode is the match version, while public server like BCA,
ArmAcalypse or ArmA2.ru run the basic AAS version very similar to this.

Does that info help?

[mant3z]

Yeah that helps, thanks for quick reply.
I'll try it ASAP.
