We've been working feverishly since 4 July, adding sixty more servers (now totaling 110 coast-to-coast), completing the tools to provide for community servers, and putting the final touches on more tours of duty, maps, and training missions! What does the immediate future hold? Let's cut to the chase:

- Community Servers: By next Monday, we will release tools to stand-up official community servers. We're grateful to those of you answered the community's demand for more servers. But one of the side effects was that some users who completed missions on these servers found that they were not 'credited' on our Authentication system. This new community game server kit will provide the means by which registered users can stand up their own credited game servers, which will register your completed missions on our Authentication system.

- Sniper School: You asked for it, you got it! On 25 July, we will release the first (of what will be many) updates: U.S. Army Sniper School. This single player update includes two training missions, where you can qualify on both the M24 and M82A1 Barrett sniper rifles. Successful completion of these training missions will enable your character to select these sniper rifles on HomeLAN (and registered public) servers! But be warned - only those who earned an Expert qualification in Basic Training will qualify for Sniper School training!

- Wanna be an Airborne Ranger? On 22 August, we'll release our next batch of updates: Airborne School and Ranger School! Airborne school includes two single player maps: the 250-foot tower and your first C-130 jump! Once you put your knees in the breeze, its time to test your mettle in Ranger School: two multiplayer maps consisting of MILES team missions at mountain phase and swamp phase.

That's not all. We're also working on an in-game browser, linux server port, and host of other features. Yes, we've been busy the past week! More servers, providing for the addition of community servers, more missions, and more Army training! But that's just the tip of the iceberg, troops! Stay tuned for more!

The Airborne school is what I am most looking forward too.... I mean cmon jumping out of a C-130 to enter the map instead of 'spawning' on it is a first for a multiplayer FPS if im correct. I cant wait!
