In general, this is System Update. It brings several global fixes.
But there is also new content as well.

COMPOSITION OF UPDATE:
- Fixed logic of transportation of equipment, including network game;
- The algorithm for zooming the satellite camera after exiting
or death of the unit has been redone;
- Global fix for checking AI\Player, including network game;
- Fixed turret machine gun logic, including multiplayer;
- Fixed the light in desert houses;
- Fixed "sinking in texture" of units in mission "operation Seraph";
- Kassadi now have replaced base suit with a new one (hot and stylish);
- Kassadi also have new weapon, silent, 50cal.(12.7mm) heavy assault rifle;
- Operation "Seraph" map added to the network game, play the mission with friends on the network;

FINALY!!! I Introduce First Commander Algorithm
(with two commanders in the "characters" section for now, Cassadi and Duvalier),
and a communication menu with the commander. For now, commanders can only be called from the editor panel
(INS key in the game in satellite mode).

What does the commander:
- Commander himself makes decisions, depending on the situation and his "setup" of units;
- Player himself gives the units under command to the commander (or takes it back);
- In absence of “alive player” in the team, he takes all units under his control;
- Radius of the map, that commander scans, is 50km, he also uses the satellite.
