Hi Everyone, sorry for the lack of updates recently, but AIX is definitely moving forward one piece of content at a time! First up we have a couple of weapon renders in the shape of the IMI Tavor and the Fn Herstal P90. The Tavor is a long overdue redo and AIX fans are sure to notice the diference between the old and the new. (shameful screenshot warning!)

DasRoach has been very busy and has 2 more maps to showcase to you all. In Operation Static, the UN forces are pitted against the Chinese in a struggle to take control of a strategic radar array in the Wanhunglo province. Hammer Down which is still in the WIP stages, sees the UN making a pre-emptive and desperate strike on an MEC nuclear ICBM site.

We've had some requests for an AIX dvd cover much like Project Reality has so we couldn't help but oblige. Click the
picture below to get a full size cover if you would like to print it out and keep your copy of AIX in style ;)
Master_Digi from the Syndikat-Nordost Clan has also provided translations for a German version of the dvd cover here.

=TG=Anubis from Texas Gaming has recently posted an AIX video in the forums which is a cool nod to AIX. "Thank you AIX, you have put the FU back in FUN for BF2. 90% of Texasgaming plays the mod now." Thanks for sharing the vid with us =TG=Anubis! and we hope to see more! On a happy end note, we would like to thank the generous donations of AIX fans over the last few months that have now helped pay for all of our web and ftp related costs!

Hello everyone, I would like to start by thanking everyone for the support and positive feedback we have received since release. your support means a lot to us.... thank you! We have been busy working on the 1.1 update and although initially we were going to make the first patch code fixes only, we decided to expand it to include some new toys for everyone to play with.

Hello everyone. It's with sad news we report that caliber_k has retired from the mod as a weapons modeler. Caliber_k has had to focus on his studies with the start of the new year and sadly can't devote his time to creating content for the mod anymore. Caliber_k is a young and talented modeler who has contributed a lot of quality work to AIX. We will miss him greatly, and miss his comraderie in the team. We thank you for the good times and wish you all the success in the future!

Caliber_k didn't even know how to model when he joined the team, but his thirst for knowledge and determination to succeed inspired us and others around him. We look back at some of his contributions and you can see for youself that these pictures speak a thousand words as a testament to the level of talent and detail in the projects he achieved in such a short space of time after joining the team.

Stay tuned for an update soon with solid news on how the 1.1 patch is coming along. We have some great 'work in progress' shots to show you and more information on how everything is going. Once again, thanks to everyone who voted for AIX in the moddb mod of the year competition. Final results are revealed at the end of January :)

This news was reported by none other than BlackCats in the BFSP forum who lives in Germany herself and managed to catch the show as it aired. This is really great news to hear and makes all the hard work we've put into AIX all the more worthwhile!

Thanks to Christiane and Tim from Giga Maxx for featuring AIX on the show and opening up our audience to more past and present BF2 players! We would like to get a copy of the segment, so if anyone out there has access to it, please forward it on!

Report from Blackcats
"AIX was featured today in a rocking way by GIGA Games:MAXX Team Christiane & Tim. As appetizer & intro they showed the Official AIX Teaser Video, then they explained pretty detailed info with what's the difference with AIX . Additionally they showed some ingame play on two different coop servers and maps. Their summary about AIX was absolutely positive and i think both hosts had a lot of fun with playing AIX in the TV studio. In a nutshell: Congrats AIX Crew! Well done!"

Thanks to BlackCats for sourcing and reporting on this news :)

Thats right, the time has come! Courtesy of the very hardworking Hathcock from POE, we have a virtual plethora of download links for all the battlefield 2 players across the globe. His help behind the scenes in this regard has been amazing and he is a true mod community enhancement machine! We of course remind everyone that AIX is a CoOp and Single Player focused mod before you download it!

AIX is still looking for language translators, but we are happy to report that the mod currently has full German language support thanks to BlackCats from BFSP. Please apply in the forums if you can help out your fellow non-english players with any of the other languages!
A special thanks to the former Allied Intent mod leader keithw (Korben_Dallas from BFSP), who graciously allowed us to continue Allied Intent in the form of a stand alone mod :) Thanks also to the former devs for their previous hard work such as Satnav, Buzard, Necronom and Doctor Dv. AIX has truly been a collaborative community effort and I just wanted to make special mention of FFOLKES, imtheheadhunter, BlackCats and Winterhilf for outstanding contributions over the last few months. :)

A small note about the server package: It was zipped up without a root folder name unfortunately, so my appologies for that! The correct folder name for the mod under the server is simply "aix" Without furthur ado, here are the download links!

BIG Thanks to Kinsman and our primary Australian download and server host GAMINGSA.com
They have a coop server running right now for all you Aussies and Kiwi's at 203.13.37.40:16567

Remember that if the installer does not detect your BF2 install path correctly, you also have the option of manually selecting the install path from within the installer as well. Default path for most users is - C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\
