3 comments by qsito on Dec 5th, 2009 digg this super bookmark


Black Hawk Down is once again active after a long hiatus. We've had to start from scratch after technical difficulties, but from now on expect to see periodic updates on the project.

To go along with our newly reinstated active status, I'd also like to welcome wardog 700 to the BHD Team. As our newest mapper, he'll be working on recreating a map of Mogadishu so that we'll finally be able to complete the look and feel of Black Hawk Down, so a big thanks to him.

A short SITREP: I'm about done with the US forces, but I've still got to do the Somalis and some reskinning and AI scripting. We'll probably open it up to some private beta testing soon, so let me know if you're interested. We're also in need of anyone who would like to help otherwise, mapping, modeling, or texturing. Shoot me an email at qtran.transitionstudios@gmail.com if you'd like to help.

Thanks!

Ok I figured out the new units and stuff but i thought the somolia militia and stuff had their own outfit and stuff. They look like trained French militia really. I'm just wondering if they have their own look thats all really. But this is a great mod anyway. I've always wanted to do big battles based on infantry. Great Job :)
