OPSUM: Introducing an experimental cooperative scenario

EVALUATION:
One of the latest Arma 3 Dev-Branch updates introduced a prototype of a cooperative scenario called COOP 12 Combat Patrol. The development of this scenario started out as a pet project by our Senior Technical Designer Josef and myself more than two years ago. It's now evolved into what might become an official multiplayer scenario/mode in the game.

However, before that happens, we wanted to share it with you and see whether you like it as much as we do.

OPSUM: Cleaning the past for a brighter future

EVALUATION:
In the latest Arma 3 Main-Branch Update (1.66), we finally managed to do something that many people in the community have asked for. Instead of spending time on developing new content and features, we focused solely on fixing the various issues that had been multiplying under the hood.

This 'Clean Sweep', as we call it, consisted of a triage of issues reported in our systems, and fixing as many as possible over the course of one month. The result of this effort was Update 1.66, but what exactly is a Clean Sweep, and how does it work?
