7. mission "Takiban Last Stand" from the campaign won MEC11 in OFPEC.com:

bedges wrote: After 3 months of testing and deliberation, our panel of judges have concluded their findings and tallied their scores to determine who this year's top three winners are in our Mission Editing Contest.
According to our panel, the road was tough at every turn. Most entries brought their own styles while others followed the safe patterns of mission designs from the past. Reports show that many of the entries showed potential as front runners but were unfortunately short-changed through portions of the mission design that induced bugs or faults into the overall development of the scenario. In the end, only three could secure a prize.
All entries will receive a review and subsequently be added to our archives as MEC contestants for all others to enjoy. The top three are listed below...
- Takibans Last Stand by SaOk
- Zero by Clayman
- Cut The Power by Janat
I'd like to take a moment to recognize the other participants. Simply because your mission missed the top three during the contest, does not in any way exclude you from the winners circle. It only means that the winners were more polished by the deadline.
Thank you all for your participation and awesome efforts! See you next time!

So this is SP? you cant lets say group up with +20 and play the campaign with ACE/ACRE?
Sorry, if meant the new Whole Lotta War mission. That is currently SP only, but I will create COOP conversion soon. Maybe in 1 month.
Both SP and MP. With those separate COOP (for up to 9 players) missions you can play it as the campaign. You just need to start them in MP section as separate missions.
There seem to be compability bug in the ACR DLC (hopefully soon fixed). If you have lite version of the DLC and problems to play the new Zub mission, try to copy and rename the acr_weapons.pbo (in addons folder) to both ca_weapons_acr.pbo (this could be unneeded) and caweapons_acr.pbo. Remember to keep the old acr_weapons.pbo too.
New version 2.5 is here (soon visible). Remember to patch the game to 1.62 and install free ACR DLC lite (can be found in ArmA2 homepage) if you havent bought the ACR DLC. I suggest to play with JSRS sound mod that have a big effect especially in the new Zub mission to make distant firefights sound real. You can find that mod in Biforum.
I havent forgotten the campaign. Currently I am adding new ACR DLC content in upcoming sequel mission. I hope to have new campaign version ready in few months.
Whole campaign is now playable as COOP. Only intro´s and outro´s are missing and the ingame cutscenes are less good looking. Else works almost the same as SP campaign.
New campaign version will come after they release 1.61 version for the game. I am adding some new Line Of Sight functions for the new mission which will require that game version. Before that I am going to convert rest of the campaign missions as coop. I found a new client script method (thx to Zonekiller) that makes it easy.
Campaign was reviewed in Ofpec.com (with rating 9/10):

Sequel mission have reached beta state. You can find it with name "Zub" from armaholic or ofpec. When its more finished I will attach it to this campaign. I expect this happen close to Iron Front game release on 25th May. ;)
