We made it even better!

One week ago, we released USI 2.0 (Ver 0.2f) after 4 years of hard work.  We received many bug reports and half the maps was crashing, but for those who played, it was fun.  Luckily we stayed on top of thing and kept working all week to deliver yet another full build with a bunch of tweaks to improve the game. That’s right the US Intervention team and BlackSandStudios presents USI 2.0 (ver 0.2g).  The build was fully debugged by Devilman, the crashing issue was discovered by Neo82 and Knallkopp_02.  BloodyDeed provided the test server we have been using to fine tune this version.  This is another full build and there is no need to uninstall the first version.  The installer will clear the mod folder for you.

Well here it is! US Intervention and Black Sand Studio presents USI 2.0.  After 4 years from our last release and after 6 years total in production so far, we give you a nice new build with more levels and loads more toys to play with. Be sure to report any bugs found so we can continue to tweak the game until its right for everyone.  We have no change log yet and we still need to put up a vehicle instruction post showing you the buttons and functions of certain items we may need to explain.  We wish to thank all other BSS mods for all the support and help given from time to time.  Thanks also go out to those who contributed from outside of BSS.  You can visit our download page or visit us on ModDb for the files.  If there is anyone interested in providing mirrors, please pm Guedoe with the mirror address so we can update our dl page.

USI 2.0 Server

A lot of work has been put into this build as so much has changed since our last release in 2008 with 1.7(.17). We hope everyone loves playing in the sand again. Some of the Devs will be joining servers here and there to chat with players and get feedback. So if you see one on your server, show them how pretty your knife is! Now report for duty soldier, there is a war to win!

Here is some screen shot of some of our maps.

 
The Dev team is working hard to fix issues found during the beta test.  If all goes well, we wish to release on Dec 25th.  Our fans deserve it for supporting us for so long.  If there are some hosts out there willing to mirror downloads links send Guedoe a pm and he will hook you up once the build is ready.  As with every release, patches will follow.  Although no more content will be added but tweaked to balance and stabilize the game.  We know it has been a long time since our last release.  From the feedback we received from the beta run, the wait will be worth it.  Are you ready to play in the sand again soldier?
