The Battlestar Galactica Fleet Commander 2 mod team have posted an update today, including screenshots, progress status, and a new website:
The leader Solstyce handed out a few information on the progress of the mod which you can read here:
Currently we are putting assets in game and rigging them for flight and with weapons. The current focus is to get our assets in game with the right flight dynamics and load outs. Our modelers and texturers have been working hard on getting the interiors of the ships made. We decided on making the interiors modular so we didn’t have such a huge modeling task. we will construct the interior sets in the CryEngine2 rather than import one huge .cgf.
WIP Screenshots
The following are some screenshots of the tests they have been doing lately. They show off the Heavy Raider in action, WIP battlestar classes ships and an interior gang way.
Website Update
In addition to the news on the mod the team also updated their official web site which now features an own Crysis mod tab. Included is of course their awesome video teaser and quite a few information on the various vehicles the mod wants to feature in the end.

Some new screenshots for the Far Crysis Mod have posted today. You can view them below:
Detailed below are three screenshots from the Dunia Team’s latest update. These display both the continuation of the Savannah map and also a brand new waterside encampment area that will be included in the storyline. As you can see from the images simrad and the rest of the team have been working very hard to replicate the feel and visual quality of FarCry2. The author has also stated that he will soon be beginning work on the opening cut-scene which will be as close to the original game as is possible, including the long taxi ride to your first base camp.

A new update has been posted today over on MyCrysis about the v1.2 patch for Crysis Wars. Take a look:
Introduction As the last dev blog we provided you was so well received, we’re giving you another update on the progress of the latest Crysis Wars update, due out in the not too distant future. Patch 1.1 was released on the 4th November, but even before it’s release the multiplayer team had begun work on Patch 1.2, the next patch for Crysis Wars. Now that 1.1 is out the team has fully moved across to focus on 1.2.
Not only did the first update feature the Linux dedicated server and the 64bit binaries, but the team also fixed an issue with CryNet which prevent people from being able to add a server to their favourites list for more than 1 gaming session.
Patch 1.2
In this patch you’re going to see plenty of game balancing issues fixed and several other issues getting resolved. The team has been hard at work testing all the updates that are included in the patch and things have been carefully tweaked to make sure you guys get given a great update that you’ll all be really happy with. You’ll be seeing several stability issues solved with this update, as well as lots more game balancing issues and exploits fixed to be fairer for everyone.
We have been monitoring the forums continuously over the past few months and have been seeing all of the information you have been gathering for us. For example there are many threads in the Bugs and Technical Support Forum and Feedback and Suggestions forums that have really helped us focus on what the community wants to see.
Conclusion
The patch is still a little while away, but we’ll have another update for you in the near future, which will include a lot more details on the patch and information on when it will be released, and of course once again how you can get hold of the patch itself.

The server lists for Crysis Wars have now been fixed, look below:
We have just implemented a fix for the Server Favorites issue in which people were not able to successfully save their favorites. The original issue was every time you logged out of Crynet, or closed the game the list of favourite servers would not be saved and as such, you would have to find the servers over and over again each time you played. This is now not the case, and it now works as intended.
How to Favorite a Server
To add a server to favorites, simply highlight it in the master server list and then select the “Add Server to Favorites” button on the right hand side. This will then save that specific server to your favourites list which can be found on the tab at the top titles “Favorites”
Once the server has been added, it will appear in the “Favorites” list. This can be selected using the button at the top along the menu bar. This favourites list will be stored from this point forward, which means now that you can close the program and restart your machine without any fears of not being able to see your favourites at a later time.
Conclusion
More updates on future fixes and patches will be coming to you very soon. Thanks once again for your continued support. We will give you more updates as soon as we can.

The developers of the Ilsamiren Wars mod for Crysis have posted an update today:
Today we have an update from forum member, Islamir Lord, who is leading the Ilsamiren Wars team. We have some very interesting concept work from the mod including some detailed information on them
Screenshots
Below we have the main character of the mod named, Udeval, who was drawn by team member Yang.
In the above sketch Udeval is wearing his light combat armour and the distinctive Morchanin hood as well as carrying his blow-gun. This is not the full combat armour of the Morchanin warrior, but an armour of light-weight, reinforced leather designed to protect the areas most at risk. He would usually also be wearing his mask, which can be seen below, to protect his identity and his head.
Nobody is certain of the origins of the Morchnin mask but it is likely that it was devised as a way to avoid repurcussions against individuals fighting their guerilla war against the Ilsamiri in the earliest years of their occupation (up to the year 37 AF by Ilsamir reckoning, though their histories make no mention of this war). These first wars with the Ilsamiri occurred between 547 and 580 by Morchanin reckoning.
