Re: USI vs. BF2

I had so much lag in some map
i.e. the map w/ lots of oil tower....

I can't even fly a jet in that lag....

Re: USI vs. BF2

USI > BF2. Though there are never many people playing ... usually you only get about 10 - 16 people on a server playing. I think the only reason people stay on BF2 instead of the mods is because mods aren't ranked.

Re: USI vs. BF2

Great name there, great name.:laugh:

It's a good mod, but just like most mods, they'll have a limited population.

Isn't that funny. almanc meets almanac :)

Re: USI vs. BF2

nah don't really like it...the only mod I'm looking forward to is FH2 :)

Re: USI vs. BF2

USI is the ONLY BIG mod that's out yet and I can't belive its got so few players...THE COMMUNITY IS LETTING THE MODS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really much more fun than vanilla BF2 and it's just going to get even more fun with the upcoming 0.15 release.

And you that stated that this mod isn't completed, well if you are going to sit around and wait for it and all other mods to reach "the final 1.00 build" you are going to have to wait for a LONG time.

Re: USI vs. BF2

It's quite ridiculously imbalaned in terms of U.S, think J10 but 100X worse. In every category.

Hows this, the US APC can take 3-4 rockets yet the Iraqi one can take only one.
The US APC only needs one man to control everything, the guns, the movement etc..
The weaker Iraqi APC takes two people to use it, one to drive and one to shoot, also the gun doesn't even move 360 degrees

The Attack Choppers are horrible to say the least. In terms of balance.

The only fairly balanced thing are the A10/Frogfoot, which are the most enjoyable in the game albeit quite redundant seeing as the Attack Choppers have LGM's like the bombers in BF2.

This should all be fixed in there next patch though, as of now it's a fairly unbalanced and broken mod.

I'm looking forward to FH2 only really, as that Germany/Ukraine mod will most likely be imbalanced in Favor of Germany and i can only really see a WW2 mod being fairly balanced. BF2 balancing is a godsend compaired to some of these mods...

Re: USI vs. BF2

Screw the ballance and bring on the ******* challenge.

Ok the attack helis are way to dominant and strong but it will most likely be dealt with in the upcoming patch.

And I dont think it's really that unbalanced since I can easily use an Iraqi APC and take out one, perhaps several M1A1 if I have a good position.

Perhaps ppl just need to get skills.

But I will edmit that the Iraqi APC with the small turret is completly useless against tanks, but how stupid are you if you use it against armor?

And they need 2 ppl to operate fully but jeeze it's old soviet tin cans with no advanced tech.

Re: USI vs. BF2

There's different types of APC's for Iraq, there's that multiple TOW shooting one, which yes can take out tanks given a good position, yet only needs one shot to take down.

I never said i used the small turret APC against armor, i said that it only takes one rocket to down whereas the US counterpart takes 3-4 rockets (From AT soldiers)

And if Tanks still only take one person to operate why the f**k did they decide that APC's (only iraq ones) need 2?

I understand that the Iraqi equiptment is very old Soveit tech but who gives a toss just make it balanced. Otherwise there really is no point in making it in the first place.

Re: USI vs. BF2

USI is the ONLY BIG mod

No, there is another: OPK.
Less Maps but better and more balanced Maps.

It's really much more fun than vanilla BF2

For a few hours......yes, but not for more. All Mods are early betas (bf2=late beta ).

I found myself shooting down the attack helis just as much if not more than I did in BF2 with tanks.

3 high points-
1. Large maps that favor armor fun
2. Large array of new vehicle toys
3. More balanced ground to air combat

3 Low points-
1. Poorly designed infantry gameplay
2. Chunky Iraqi tank HUD design
3. Asymmetrical balance gone a bit overboard? Time will tell!

My main beef is that some air maps are still small enough to be base raped. I'm really sick of that for maps featuring uncaps. Those maps really need something similar to PRMMs VIP mode's restricted access to certain areas for certain factions.

So far the mod has a couple gems but overall I just don't dig it that much. I prefer more focus on the infantry and map scale for them rather than the heavy toys.

Re: USI vs. BF2

USI is a fun mod for a little bit and the guns/tanks/planes feel as powerfull as they all should be without being to unbalanced, but playing on unranked servers just feels like a wast of time to me

Re: USI vs. BF2

POE2 and FH2 is going to own, i can't wait for these mods to come out.

If you care about ranks and whatnot and like a mod find one that has ABR on it
http://www.battlefieldranking.net/ i heard ABR is going to work again when the 1.4 patch is out.

Re: USI vs. BF2

Screw the mirror balancing, I love USI mod. It reminds me a lot of POE BFV. Now i wonder how POE2 is going to be like since it seems like it will never come out.

Anyway, I love the HEAT/SABOT rounds. I love the Stingers/Grails. I love the choppers, although the gunner doesn't do much but gun down opposing choppers since the turret actually does decent damage. I dont miss the UAV, it made me a better player, more attentative than dependant. The artillery is perfect, still can be lethal but not overdone.

You just gotta learn how to play this MOD all over again. BF2 spoiled the player with mirror balancing everything with just a hint of difference. I for one used to play Karkand a lot and on a 24/7 server you get used to the UAV over your head spotting everything. When i jumped on a USI server, i had to quickly learn again to look everywhere and not depend on a little plane above me.

The only thing i dislike in USI is the T-72 Tank, the hud is way too cluttered.

The reason why I did not mention OPK is because it has to many bugs and glitches, and the sounds just don't do it. It feels like OPK (so far ofcourse) hasn't really succeded to create its own "atmosphere". But what the hell, OPK has only done one Small release, Very Nice models and skins though.

For a few hours......yes, but not for more. All Mods are early betas (bf2=late beta ).

hmm...I have less bugs in USI than in BF2 vanilla. :hmm:

Re: USI vs. BF2
