Cambo, who founded VCM 6 years ago has resigned and has left me in charge. This is not a joke!!! I think he has resigned due to uni commitments. Been coming a long time if you ask me. Pitty he couldn't say goodbye himself after he put so much effort into making this community work, but not to worry.
The current status of our teams is generally good but I am going to scrap the PS3 games because that was a shit idea and the css team is never going to come back so that idea is being scrapped as well. I'm not too sure about battlefieldheroes either but we will leave the door open for this until it properly comes out (still currently in beta testing but anyone can easily get a beta key to test it).
The main game I would like to get into is ArmA 2. It's coming out in the next 3 weeks! So I am already starting to make preperations to see if we can get a team going for this. About ArmA 2
Building on 10 years of constant engine development, ARMA II boasts the most realistic combat environment in the world. It models real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration, features a realtime day/night cycle and dynamic wind, weather and environmental effects. The simulation of a combat environment is so effective, the engine forms the basis for training simulators used by real armies the world over.
Although ArmA II is set in the fictional ex-soviet state of 'Chernarus' the gameworld is actually a 225 square kilometer chunk of the real world! ARMA II's highly detailed landscape is a meticulous facsimile of real terrain, modeled using extensive geographical data. This recreated region is brought to life with spectacular environmental effects and populated with dynamic civilian settlements and wildlife. Wild animals roam the atmospheric forests while the people of Chernarus try to live out their lives among the war-torn streets.
The 27th U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit have been deployed to the former soviet country of Chernarus in this third installment in the series of award winning PC war simulators from Bohemia Interactive, creators of Operation Flashpoint*: Cold War Crisis and ArmA: Combat Operations.
Force Reconnaissance Team "Razor" are among the first to fight. This elite five-man team are about to fall down the rabbit hole, trapped in a war not only for control of the country, but the hearts and minds of its people. With the might of the USMC offshore and the Russians anxiously watching from the north, the stakes couldn't be higher. The fate of Chernarus is balanced on a razor's edge...

As you can see this looks like a superb game for VCM to get into! Any further ideas to improve the community are always appreciated. We are going to need a new logo/banner soon for the site as well, here are a few rules for people designing banners and other graphics/artwork because there was obviously a misunderstanding when soul fork designed some banners for us before. Keep up the good work guys. And keep me informed as to how each team is progressing.
The hallway and alien footage shown in this movie was filmed entirely in-engine and showcases one of the playable classes - the "Onos".
