sounds cool!

They defeated the diabolical plot of a terrorist mastermind.

I haven't yet. Oh well, now what was the key for Zulu go again... back to the planning room

Rocky, did you get this from RvS.it? If so, you'll know about this anyway. If not, check it out:







Also, you know anything about the 'Official' Italian patch that allows you to play as Italian CT Team NOCS?

NOCS Site

"Developed by Ubi Studios Milan in collaboration with Polizia di Stato (italian police), the NOCS (Nucleo Operativo Centrale di Sicurezza) patch will let gamers play Raven Shield with the most famous italian police counter-terrorist unit, using original and realistic uniforms and all the official equipment."

Sounds like a great thing for them to do!

Ugh. Last time a mission pack was developed by a different studio (BT) all the weapons were unbalaced. Ubi screws up again!

Well hang on a sec.

Wait no, go ahead, you're right Was BT not made by Montreal? Same as made Raven Shield? That explains a thing or two.

I don't have a problem with ubi Montreal. I have a problem with two different studios developing the same game.

Rocky, did you get this from RvS.it? If so, you'll know about this anyway.

No, it was a ubi press release they mailed me - thats cool info you found though!

Any word on the modding status? Will this expansion make modding possible or will it be a patch? Thanks.

*Drools*

Im shure Maldini has a smile on his face.

Think they'll give us M203s as weapon attachments? I know its a CQB game, but if we already have an M60, why not? I can think of a few missions where an underbarrel GL would be very usefull.
