SILENT WAR is a successor of Silent War Mod - a modification for Operation Flashpoint (ARMA:CWA) which was under development in 2001 - 2006. The mod was never finished.
Introduction
The project was revived by Rożek in 2010. The first idea was to revive the mod by collecting all the available content from the unreleased mod. The point was to prepare a package of all addons introducing Polish army units that have ever been released. The amount of work caused that the project has evolved into a much wider scale. It was the beginning of SILENT WAR UNIVERSE.
SILENT WAR UNIVERSE
The new idea behind SILENT WAR has evolved into a universe (SILENT WAR UNIVERSE) of military conflicts that take place in different parts of the world. SILENT WAR consists of a number of projects that focus on a specific conflict. The conflicts will be shown with high fidelity by taking into account such elements as history, politics and culture. The base of the projects is the same - OFP / ARMA:CWA.
Call of Bug River
The first project of SILENT WAR is titled Call of Bug River. It is the successor of Silent War Mod revival project from 2010. The story sticks to the original one from the unreleased mod. The story has been explained in this video.
"It’s year 2003. After long winter and frosty spring comes sweltering summer. Floods, appearing each year in the whole Europe, don’t avoid Poland too. Vistula, Oder and other big rivers overflow. But the worst situation is on the east of the country, where additional factor assisting flood are heavy rains. They cause the Bug river – border river between Poland and Belarus – to change it’s line. The river "moves" to the west - to it’s old bed. And now part of Poland is under water. Journalists are joking about the fourth partition of Poland. But one rainy day, a group of Polish soldiers, removing the flood effects, have been attacked from the eastern side of Bug river, by unknown military forces."
The project will be an event for multiplayer mode as a set of co-operative missions that are linked and driven by the main story. The story will take place on the eastern border of Poland which will be reflected by the in-game terrain. Technical aspects of the project will be led by PFC (Polish Flashpoint Community). The project will use many community-made addons such as:
- WP Soldiers/Operation Carrot
- RHS
- OWP
- CRN
- Vilas
- Silent War Mod (unfinished)

Streets of Karbala
The second project of SILENT WAR UNIVERSE is titled Streets of Karbala. It refers to real events that took place in city of Karbala (Iraq) in April, 2004. The Polish military forces, which were part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, were attacked by the Mahdi Army rebels who had started uprising against the allied forces. The Polish soldiers, outnumbered by the rebels, endured a successful three-day-and-night firefight with no casualties.
The project will be released as a mini-modification that will consists of some basic units and missions. It should be considered as a tribute to those soldiers.
