This is a stripped down version of VBS2 (upgraded ArmA1 tech) (developed by Bohemia Interactive for military training) featuring the British Armed Forces. It has all kinds of british-used military hardware in it, and two terrains, one is a training ground, and one is a ~1500 km2 Iraq map. It also has a few missions, and full editing capabilities, so fan content can be expected. And it's free.
Just though I'd share this news. This sounds like a good platform for tactical gaming - anyone interested in tactical military games should know about it.
Quote:
JCOVE Lite is a freeware game derived from Bohemia Interactive's VBS2 software - itself a derivative of Armed Assault but focused on simulated training for military purposes.
JCOVE Lite was funded by the UK MOD to give the general public, particularly potential recruits, an idea of how the British military trained for combat as well as providing a more realistic combat simulation than your standard shoot'em-up.
Overall it gives serious gamers an immensely modifiable platform to create, share and play their own missions using a huge range of British military equipment - from the humble Sig 229 to the legendary Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank.
