Bohemia Interactive continue de prendre ses clients pour des beta testeurs (mais où ont-ils la tête) en sortant aujourd'hui le deuxième patch beta, le 1.27, de son célèbre Operation Flashpoint, en demandant aux gens qui le veulent bien de le tester, tout en n'étant évidemment pas responsables des éventuelles dégradations de données ou de matériel dues à ce patch. Cela dit ils ont la gentillesse de nous signifier que "This is public betaversion. If you don't want to participate on the public betatesting please wait for version 1.30." alors tout va bien..

Le couplet mauvaise langue étant passé, je puis maintenant vous parler de la liste des améliorations. Oh et puis non tiens, z'avez qu'à lire la suite.
