    USI Screenshots - See some of the goodies

    Now that I am more fed up than ever with vanilla I thought I would post a few screenies for those who havent seen. There are people playing 24 hours a day now. At peak gaming hours you will have well over 100 players. Our server averages from 28-48 players at peak times. Filling regularly. The game experience is far beyond anything you get from plain old bf2.

    Tank warfare is the best to date. Zoom in to see long distance, tracers, bullet drop, multiple types of rounds, heat, sabot, smoke, tows. They have a 73 eastings remake that is sweet as hell. A small village similar to lost village in the middle. Very fun battles there.

    The ground based game is very similar to vanilla just more fun, there is an infantry only map. All the maps have more integration of infantry troops. From citys to clusters of buildings. Its great for ground guys. Rpgs, stingers and more to have fun with. The sounds are MUCH better than stock. One of the best parts of the whole mod is the improved sound.

    A few guns have issues in the initial release and they have already addressed it in the next patch. Sniper rifle accuracy, rpg scope, smaw scope accuracy when zoomed. Hind has minor video lag issues they have already addressed. For a first revision its clean as hell. Theres no unlocks but who the hell cares. The hand weapons will get better with higher versions.

    Stingers, rpgs, smaws, lots of new goodies. Improved physics on all aircraft and choppers. Much more like desert combat days of playing. Worth a download to see it.

                  hearing that playing from a smoking wreck is a little creepy
                  great mod though
                  wolfi what do you think of my suggestions on the USI boards - I sent a load of them to Ninjo, I hope he doesnt die of old age after reading through them :P

                    Yeah WOlfi, why havent you made the changes he wants.

                    I play on FMJ when I play USI. Im suprised at the numbers of players out there on a given night. So many fans and great responses, and it doesnt even crash from the 1.3. Support the MODs you like people, for all of our sakes.

                      yeah why :laugh:
                      Although from the sounds of things I'm going to be even happier with USI come further releases regardless of my worthless opinions

                        That does look rather suh-weet. I might have to check it out.

                          USI isn't bad, and is great for what it is; one of the first versions of one of the first mods released for bf2.

                          That said, it has issues. Very little variety in infantry combat(pretty much everyone in vanilla is used over in USI). Sure, the additions of Stingers and RPG's are nice, but its not that much of a change.

                          Aircraft combat is a bit dull. Planes are brought down quite easily by ground forces. It feels like a turn fest, sort of like vanilla, but the planes don't handle in a way that lets it work out very well, so you eventually just have to try to boom and zoom after turning a bit. Sounds funner than it is.

                          Tank combat is probably the best. Zooming in is great fun, USI is the first game on the engine that makes me feel like its a realistic tank battle. However, IFV's and anything with ATGM's seems very weak, because they die so easily. The lack of zoom influences this pretty hard.

                          It seems everyone pretty much plays engineer and AT at the moment. Unlike say OPK, where a lot of different kits are actually used, on maps with more vehicles, these two are used by nearly every person. Machinegunner is added to the list on maps with signifigant infantry fighting.

                          Im sure it will improve. Its fun, but needs definite polishing.

                            I LOVE this mod. The only thing as of right now is that the servers don't have many players (10-20 average). I really like playing on 50-60 servers but I guess it's not as popular. Anyone know what times these servers can be full?

                              I think I did something very stupid . I installed the 1.3 patch . Does this mean I will have to revert back to 1.22 to play USI ?
