Blackops Project Info 5/25/2012

Blackops Project Information
The information below will be current status & change log information for all official Blackops projects. I will try to keep the overall information as up to date as possible. Full logs are generally found in the original thread links to the project which will be included here so players can look there for newer updates or manual install files.

Feel free to post bugs either in this forum or in the respective mod's GPG thread. We do read both locations and try to respond on any issues that arise.

Note: Not all projects may be available on FAF yet but they have been included here so players will know what to expect.

Are all the above mods included or going to be included in the Blackops download on FAF or will they be able to be downloaded separately at a later date?
Also, I love the Blackops ACU mod, glad to see its kicking

[ExavierMacbeth]

All the mods will eventually be available through FAF. We are waiting for them to add an "options" screen so that players can enable/disable the individual components like you could do with the Mod Manager version. Default will have them all enabled though.

[ExavierMacbeth]

Just an update... BO:ACUs has been added to the FAF Featured list.
I know its been like that for about a month but I didn't think to update this lol

[Ming]

Is there any update about the other BO mods in FAF, or is it still "just" BO:U and BO:ACU?

[ColonelSheppard]

Is there any update about the other BO mods in FAF, or is it still "just" BO:U and BO:ACU?

i'pretty sure these are all BO mods, you can switch on/off ACU/unleashed as far as i know when you are in the gamelobby

ty for replay

[shadowking810]

Does anyone have direct links to these mods i want to use them in skirmish and in campaign mode and have fun with them.

I cant download from gpg forums cause they have taken it down is what I'm guessing haven't bin able to access for a while now.

[The Mak]

The links still work and are present in the GPG links listed in the OP. Just look carefully, they are usually listed after the images or after all the per-requisite mods.

[wakiki]

The links arent working for me either. the website refuses to load.
