Codemasters have released a new patch for Operation Flashpoint: Resistance and it's version 1.85. Here's some of the new weapons that have been added to the patch.

G-17 - silenced version: This is the silenced version of standard G-17 (but with less range).
Revolver (Revolver, RevolverMag): very powerful yet very slow hand gun.

Well if your looking for any of the above then you need to check out UT2003 HQ! I got to say they got some very coool stuff! Like this map called FOOTBALL.

A bombing run map on a football field. There are 2 scoring possibilities. You can shoot through the field goal or attempt "to-go-all-the-way" to get a touchdown. The touchdown is more difficult explaining why it gives 7 points and the field goal only 3.

HomeLanFed.com have posted an interview with a few of the team of UT2003 Troopers! Here's a snip. The Troopers idea came about as I first started mapping for the mod community. I wanted to combine my love of the Star Wars films with my love for mapping and gaming.

Step into the world of a cold-blooded killer for hire, hunting and stalking your prey in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Obtain a disguise, find a way in, and silently finish the job unnoticed, or kick down the front door with gun's blazing, and take everybody out. It's completely up to you how to fulfill the contract. Be warned, some of your targets are heavily guarded, as well as completely paranoid.
