Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
Downloads — IS82.com admin Shrooms has started a project to improve the quality of the maps on the server. For this, forum members are asked to say which maps they think do not deserve a spot in the world's only significant IS82 map collection, with the rest getting improvements.
Members are both encouraged to post comments to a news item and to a survey that is linked there, which has been described by subject matter experts as "Wow, that's long."
Maps that are found to not gain community consensus will be removed, according to the plans put forth. The rest of the maps will, where necessary, receive improvements of various sorts and be put in a map pack. As such, this project has overlap with the Interstate Final project. It is possible, though not yet decided, that ISF might include some of the modifications done here.
Good cars heading towards Interstate
The forum — In the upcoming Interstate Final, an Alfa Romeo Montreal is scheduled to make an appearance. A preview has been posted by esteemed Official Mod Finishing Group (OMFG) member sniperjack.
While the release of this car provides a welcome addition to the mod, there is doubt about the consequences. Random Guy Cochrane was heard to say "I joined every Interstate forum only to demand an Alfa Romeo in the mod. What will I do now?".
Battlefield Heroes for Interstate?
Sweden — Famed swedish war-reporting company DICE has announced a new work, Battlefield Heroes, chronicling the events of the often-overlooked war between the Royal Forces and the National Army over the events of the olympic cycling event, which might be a new option for IS82. This follows their other interactive documentaries about the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Conflict Between USA and MEC and of course The War With Those Spaceships.
As an alternative to the previous works, the new title, known as "Battlefield Heroes", will be completely free, supported by advertisement. It will also featurre a more stylized look and require less powerful machinery to work.
At the moment, it is not known whether it will be possible to use the technology for own creations, which always was a strong point of the previous works. However, the volunteer project "Interstate 1982", re-enacting the infamous fights between the "Kingpin" criminal cartell and the group of self-appointed crime-fighters known as "Vigilante" is looking forward to seeing whether this is an option to increase their reach.
