two players on LAN vs bots??

[dezerter]

Is there a mode or mini mod that will allow for two players on LAN to play versus Bots? Of course I'm talking about something that will work with 1.2 patch.
My son loves BF2 but he is to young to play on multiplayers (11). I would like to spent some time with him playing this game. It will be nice if we could fly helo or squad together and have fun.

Thanks Guys.

coop 4.0 is good not sure if it works with 1.2
wcc coop is the same with some inhancements to weapons ect.

or you could try the old fasion way load a dedicated server on youre pc,
then load up youre sons pc select local and youre server should show up(but dont click conect or refresh yet)then close the dedicated on youre pc and start a single player game when ur loaded in to the map just press join on youre sins pc and you will be playing togheter.

tip dont go commander in single player it makes the bots defend one flag.

also there is a mod called bf2 bot changer it allows u to add more bots,
also another mod called bf2 64single player it allows full size 64 player maps.

i recomend you get bot changer as it allows you to select a mod and chose the max players.
wcc coop has a defult of 50 bots which can hurt some systems using bot changer u can lower it.
im sure the 64singleplayer mod has a defult of 64 players which in some cases need to be lower.

wcc coop
there is another called mercinaries ,again some differnt enhancments to try
hope this helps

p.s if u can share you internet with youre son it makes it easyer to join a lan game.
create a multiplayer account for you son,
load up a single player game(or mod) on youre pc.
then log in to youre sons new multiplayer account and click local (should show nothing)then click conect to ip and put ur lan ip in youre you sons conect to ip box)

make it a lot easyer if u have internet or you will need to load a dedicated server everytime just so he can see youre server.
its not possible to click conncet to ip in the local box unless youre online.
annoying but thats EA

Re: two players on LAN vs bots??

Thanks a lot for long reply men. That was very nice of you. I will try to do it.
I read that wcc coop is not working with 1.2 yet.
Never heard of the other one. I will look for it.
We both have access to internet but it runs form router. I think I have to do some port forwarding first or just run cable modem directly to my computer and connect my sons box by hub. Anyway that helps a lot.

Thanks once again for fast reply.

Re: two players on LAN vs bots??

Strictly speaking, you do not need any mods to do this. It's just a matter of starting a SP game and the other person joining by ip address. (The dedicated server trick that blade.verzilli TF mentioned is only needed if you can't join by ip for some reason. The original release of the game had no "join by ip" in the local browser so you couldn't use it if you didn't have an internet connection.)

None of the mods are probably updated for 1.2 yet; you might consider running 1.12 for a while if you don't play online (or make a copy of the 1.12 install before updating to 1.2 so you can still play 1.12 too). I would recommend the new expanded maps from the BFSP forum (http://battlefieldsingleplayer.plane...p?showforum=27) over any of the older map mods since they did not have the ability to expand the area actually usable by the bots until last month.

If you are both on the same LAN connected to the router it shouldn't have any effect; usually routers only filter traffic to/from the internet.

Simpler might be to download and install our true CPM_CQ Coop mod for BF2 and Special Forces. If setting up a lan is to complex, you can go online to our server and its always set for humans against bots and never very crowded.
