Mission Kursk Multi-Player 1.5

[Adrian Taylor]

We have been busy revising the MP side of Mission Kursk after valuable feedback from gamers. We will be releasing an update that will re-balance the Flag Control maps and also help prevent the wondering units.

This update will be released as a self contained pak file that can be installed in your Mission Kursk folder. However, you will need to remove it when you wish to play the single player campaign and missions.

When installed this pak will show "Mission Kursk:Multi-Player 1.5" in the bottom right hand corner of your main menu. When it is removed it will revert back to "Mission Kursk1.4"

When creating new maps for MP play you will need to make sure this patch is installed, but removed for Single Mission creation.

Mission Kursk Multi-Player 1.5 is almost ready. The MP maps have now all been re-balanced and thoroughly play tested. We have also updated a number of the original Blitz units that appeared in '44 so that map makers can use a bit more variety when creating new maps.



(Left to Right: M16 GMC, M10 Wolverine, M4A1 Sherman, M4A2 Sherman, ISU 122, ISU 152, KV 85, Js 2, T34/85, M3 Half track (2 versions) and M3 Scout Car.

We have also updated the menu screen so that only Multi_Player games can be accessed while this update is installed in the Mission Kursk data directory.



As previously noted, if you wish to revert back to the Single player Campaigns just remove the Multi-Player pak file from the data directory.

Mission Kursk: Multi-Player is now ready for download on our main website. It is a self extracting exe file that will install a self contained pak file to your Mission Kursk directory. Once installed you will not be able to access the Campaign or Single Player Missions. However, simply removing the pak file from the Mission Kursk directory will regain you access.

This pak file can be used with all language versions.
