That's also my understanding why
TG is not running Al Basra. From what I've read, Operation Archer crashes a lot as well.
Since my internetz came back to normal today after about 3 weeks of 450 ping (hopefully it'll stay at my usual ~250), I was able to play a round of Op Archer on some other server and had a blast! The destructible buildings are nice.
I would very much like to join in on an Operation Archer Password Night tomorrow... hint hint!
