    Patch contents : Official from Nexon

    For 5/27, another dangerous mission has been added to the roster... Operation: Desert Thunder is going to take you soldiers into an East African desert. Don't worry, Central Command is providing a whole new set of weapons, items, and supplies to ensure your survival. Good luck, brave men and women of CA... you're going to need it.


    Operation: Desert Thunder

    SITREP: Mogadishu's military, the Sand Hog, is suspected of illegally supplying weapons to nearby countries and have been placed on the UAF's expulsion list. The local government has refused to take action until UAF headquarters provides concrete evidence. An infiltration team was sent in three days ago and signaled that they had obtained some vital Intel, but they failed to make it to the extraction point. They are believed to be captured or killed. Your mission is to infiltrate the mission area and gather the necessary Intel. If possible, find and rescue the infiltration team.

    Everyone under CSM can just nab the occasional PP-19 off the ground. It really isn't that great.... And it just looks like there is a lot of new stuff. There is one new gun. One. I wanted to see at least three new guns, I don't give a shit if there nx or not, I want more guns! All CA can do is make skins! They forgot how to make guns! FORGOT! We're royally screwed.

    Pretty average, TBPH (To be perfectly honest) .

    It's got a cylindrical magazine, but its a K1A with crazy recoil . I don't use it much. K1A > PP-19

    PP-19 MOD is nice though, it sounds like a SOPMOD.
