Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a first person tactical military game for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 developed by British game developer Codemasters. Codemasters have advertised the game as a tactical shooter designed to realistically represent modern infantry combat. It's a follow-up to Bohemia Interactive's Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, but was developed entirely by Codemasters due to a falling out between the two companies.

The game takes place on a small, fictional island based on the island of Kiska located off the north coast of Japan called Skira and is set in the near future. The island is a contested territory between Russia and China and becomes the centre of an armed conflict when a large untapped oil and gas reserve is discovered there. The Russians who own the island ask America (their allies) to intervene as they are busy dealing with a large Chinese force on their own Russian border. The game begins as the player arrives as part of the United States Marine Corps which is tasked with capturing the island, on behalf of the Russians, from the Chinese military.

So what do you guys think? JkF50 and I have both pre-ordered, Will you join us on the battlefield?

UKGame.com, our Garry’s Mod server provider has announced its “Fast Download system”. Basically making download and upload time faster, and hopefully making the server a lot more smother to play on! It is also a lot more faster to upload new maps and new Mods to the server.

Now to our own dedicated servers. I have talked to JkF50 and he says that one of the servers has Windows Server 2003 OS uploaded onto it and looks about ready. The only problem is that he says he doesn’t have enough time at the moment to work on them (Yeah right ). Anyway he’s going to bring them to me and I’m going to see what I can do with them.

Hopefully we will have a server running this week, as my Uncle is a IT technician for the National Trust and works with servers all the time. So I will keep you updated as I go along.

Cheers, ThinkFast

The i series is a very famous LAN tournament organised by Multiplay (UK server provider for many games). The i series usually consists of 2-3 tournaments per year, all of which have occured at the Stoneleigh Park venue recently, near Coventry. This location is key, as it lies in the centre of England, allowing gamers from acrosss the country to participate. This is where you guys come in.

i38 should be taking place in the Winter, probably around December/January time. We hope that our clan can, for the first time, attend this glorious event. It runs for 1 weekend only, and has 2,000 places for BYOC participants (bring your own computer). I know it's a trek for some of you, but if we could all make the effort, it could turn out to be an amazingly fun weekend, and allow some of us to meet up with each other for the first time.

The event included are Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty 4, Battlefield 2, Left 4 Dead and many more. Camping is a must, and there are many facilities on the site itself. I, myself have never been to this event, but a close friend of mine in RL has attended twice, and he absolutely loved it. i37 is due to happen this weekend, yet I didn't really feel it would appeal to us. I mean, seriously, 3 days stuck inside gaming in the middle of the glorious summer? Ha, yeah right.

If you want to find out more about the i series, you can visit the website here:

I have installed Source Mod onto our Garry's Mod server so all that have admin just go into console and type sm_admin and a list of admin controls will appear.

Its a very simple admin system, and is temporary till we find a better more powerful admin tool, as is you try to slap or set an explosion it crashes the server

Happy gaming
