America's Army 2.60 Released

Feb 09, 2006 2:03pm CST tags: Americas Army
Uncle Sam sends along the latest version of America's Army: Special Forces, which is now at v2.60. The new release adds two multiplayer missions, a new match-making system, competitive gaming support and has several security enhancements and bug fixes. For people with 2.50 installed there is a patch. Here are the descriptions of the two new maps.
- DUSK: In this active and challenging mission, enemy forces have ambushed a convoy that was transporting a friendly Resistance leader carrying highly sensitive intelligence reports. Radio contact confirms that the Resistance leader is located in an abandoned building. A squad from the 75th Ranger Regiment must locate the Resistance leader and escort him safely to an extraction point for exfiltration. The construction of the new Dusk mission is another of a popular genre of America's Army missions - the VIP rescue mission, and maximizes the use of America's Army's unique use of random spawns and objectives to greatly vary the experience.

- BORDER: In the explosive action of the Border mission, America's Army players must infiltrate the base of operations of a small known terrorist cell. Intelligence reports confirm that the terrorists are planning synchronized bombing strikes at several different civilian landmarks and that high-level sensitive information (Precious Cargo) pertaining to these lethal strikes is being kept at this operations base. A squad from the 172nd Sep. Infantry BDE must secure the precious cargo located in this border village and then proceed safely to the extraction point.
