IC:Europe Version 2.0 Released

[IC-TC-X]

The ICE v2.0.0. is being publicly released
The patch can be installed on top of versions:1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.1.6

(If you want to hang on to v1.1.6 for a little while so you can play on other public servers untill they are updated to v2.0.0. - you need to copy your "ice" folder in you "...Typhoon Rising/expansion/ice" directory and rename it to something like "ice116" and then run the v2.0.0 patch to update the mod to version 2, when you want to run v1.1.6 again - rename the updated ice folder to "ice2" and rename "ice116" folder back to "ice", to get back to v2.0.0 - do the opposite)

[FUFiles]

The main combat forces are gonna be: Russia, UK, Germany and France plus insurgents, mercenaries and rebels from the above countries - those countries will be represented by full range of player skins, vehicles and other game objects required, other European countries could be present as well, but with a limited number of player skins and vehicles (as defense forces if you wish), additionally some of the stock American skins and vehicles will remain so our bodies from across the Atlantic don't feel left out.

The main concept is to strip down the IC4 mod down to its very shell which is "JO-Escalation" and fill it up with new explosive content. As you have noticed the title is "IC-Europe" which means that some of the current IC objects could be transfered over to the new mod either on full time basis (if they suit the mood of the mod) or on part time basis, as "place holders" until new custom items are made.

There,s a lot of new game objects in the making: vehicles, buildings, player skins, terrains, etc. New weapons systems are being tested on board of the old trusty IC vehicles until they get proper carriers for them.
