Title                   : Arctic Base
Version                 : 1.2
What's new in 1.2?      : Cooperative support added finally!
                          I've also enhanced skill setting and added
                          bit more ammo. I added two new weapons for SP/COOP
                          too because in our Coop test we had serious lack
                          of new weapons.

Description             :  Arctic Base features totally new theme - snowy 
                          and gelid wasteland. Contains many new textures 
                          and new sky for that great Arctic theme. 
                          Every area has been lit with care and texture
                          blending used a lot, which provides very high
                          quality level.

Story                   :  "One of our scouts, Colen, has detected Strogg
                          activity in South Pole during performing his
                          patrol route. We are not yet aware how they
                          penetrated into earth unnoticed. We suspect
                          that Black Hole Device came with small meteor
                          shower which happened there a few months ago.
                           Colen went to investigate Strogg base and
                          succeed to get us some information and
                          downloaded data from Strogg Com-System
                          before they get him. The base is well fortified
                          and they have powerful Anti-Aircraft Defenses.
                          We succeed to capture one Strogg Aircraft
                          during their first attack. You shall use it 
                          to penetrate the Strogg Base. It is equipped
                          with Strogg Vehicle Identification Device (SVID),
                          so you can land into their base securely, we think.
                           Deciphering information from Com-System that
                          Colen gave us, we've noticed that Self-Destruction
                          sequence of the Base could be activated with
                          Central Data Terminal (CDT) Units.
                          You must penetrate into Strogg base and
                          reprogram all CDT's with our new Control program 
                          to start the Self-Destruction sequence. 
                          Black Hole generator must be also destroyed.
                          Destroy Strogg Comm-System at the north
                          before moving into main hangar to find
                          and reprogram rest of the CDT Units. You should
                          try to find Colen, although we are not
                          sure if he is still alive."

                           But once you started to land nearby
                          Strogg Base in South Pole, unexpectedly they
                          shot your ship and you lose control of it.
                          Seems like SVID wasn't functional anymore.
                          Your Blaster is currently your only hope to
                          survive alive...
