With added air assets and two more bots per map (30 to 32), I have stretched the stability boundaries with this mod expecting patch 1.03 to be released by now. Anyhow I dearly hope that 1.03 will fix many needed things so decent COOP play may have a chance. Anyhow please accept profuse apologies for DICE's dodgy coding that we all have to live with that is beyond my control

CHANGELOG FROM V 3.0

General Changes
* Tanks given increased armour and more power to it's main gun
* Tank gun velocity increased, look out choppers.
* Artillery now has 7 rounds per bombardment
* CWIZ and Bomber bugs fixed, does not cause CTD anymore.
* Bots using air transport choppers features heavily in a few maps
* Increase ticket counts

Fushe Pass
=========
* Now works in COOP multiplayer
* Fixed faulty bot spawn point at gazebo
* One bomber & one Fighter each side.
* Improved airlift from airfield capability

Strike_at_karkand
============
US light forces airlift in to hold Karkand as best they can.
* US forces have only light troops, no Engineers or AT
* US forces now go in by UH60 airlift only
* No ground vehicles for US
* No artillery
* A few jeeps only for MEC
* MEC home bases relocated
Known Bugs
* At start, some airlifted bots drop off the mesh and die, a small bug but I felt it worth the sacrifice

Slightly better emphasis on air power as well as improved ability for any side to recover via airlift capability. * MEC & CHINA vs US
* Bomber aircraft added to both sides
* Extra transport helo given to Chinese

Zatar Wetlands

The battle moves more to the air along with better airlift capability for any side losing badly.

Songhua_Stalemate
=============
The fog returns by popular demand.
* V3 map and assets but with fog re-introduced.

Sharqi Peninsula
===========
This is now more of an infantry map then ever before but with just enough vehicles to keep it interesting
* MEC vs CHINA
* A few ground vehicles removed, only one HT each side and one AAV for china
* AA weapons removed to give attack choppers some survivabilty

Gulf of Oman
===========
* Reworked from the ground up for play balance using as much of the mesh as possible.
The way I now like it, some of everything.
Known Bugs
If all the capturable CP's are taken the game will crash

Works fine for me in Firefox, although you have to navigate a heck of a lot just to get to the download.

Re: COOP version 4.0 released

I'm curious as to how coop missions work in this game with this mod..

You start up BF2, access multiplayer interface.. select level, load level.. and then.. what? With standard multiplayer, the match won't begin until at least 1 other person joins the server.. what about in coop? How would you find a coop game that is in progress? Are you be able to choose which side you want to be on, or will it automatically assign you based on the map to the human controlled team?

I'm very interested in coop play, so details would be great... thanks.

That's with a ranked server, unranked allows you to begin without the min. player limit

How would you find a coop game that is in progress?

Use All Seeing Eye, or This Link

Are you be able to choose which side you want to be on, or will it automatically assign you based on the map to the human controlled team?

Depends on the server, but you can almost always choose.

A: The bots are in single player, play the single player games. This is not a fix for multiplayer but rather a tweak for single player that also allows for coop Lan play as well.

To join a LAN game you can do the following. (assuming you both have internet acces)

Have another player start a single player game, you go to the multiplayer area, click "connect to IP" then insert the hosts IP..

If you don't have internet access then

A: 1 ) Both peeps start game using BF2_start.bat

2) Get the host to start a local multiplayer LAN game (not single player). Map doesn't matter at this point.

3) Get the other computer to go to join local lan game screen but NOT JOIN the server. At this point the host should be visible on the client machine

4) have the server quit and start a single player map of choice.

5) Once server player has spawned, have client then click join and viola, LAN with bots and no internet connection
