Howdy! First of all, sorry for the recent silence in the news. Sometimes human beings need a break to renew their energy. And now I'm feeling better, so let's move on with one great news: Inqubi, the leader of Combined Arms, has been busy recently in order to release Combined Arms 0.90 with its first 15 missions. Combined Arms is a mod for OpenRA that emulates the old Command & Conquer games gameplay and brings five factions to the battlefield: Allies, Soviets, GDI, Nod, and Scrin. It features new units and support powers for these factions. It also features new graphics and sound effects. The changes from Combined Arms 0.90 were announced with the following words:

Quote:
