TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

[Spawndemon]

We here at TotalBF2 have something very exciting to share with you today. Our newly acquired, and very dedicated, staff member Jofaba has written a preview for the upcoming BF2 mod US Intervention. Jofaba, Sevigon, and I were able to be a part of "FragFest," a community beta test of the current mod version. We were very pleased with the mod and you all are in for a real treat. Here is a portion of Jofoba's first (and certainly not last) preview for TotalBF2:

Okay, let me explain something about USI right off the bat: you're either going to love it, or you're going to hate it with every fiber of your soul. And I've got a feeling even the people that hate it are going to play it with a masochistic, and just downright frightening, intensity.

As soon as I spawned, it was mayhem. I figured the other people on my team who had previous contact with the mod knew something that I didn't so I joined in on the mad rush for vehicles and cover. Now, this wasn't your standard “I'm gonna get the jet first” kind of struggle. And I quickly figured out why after my first time in the air. The balance in this mod is... complicated. But more on that later.

As I said, this mod is already off to a great start and holds strong to the high hopes it has. We'd like the thank the USI team for letting us be a part of "FragFest." So be sure to read the preview and post all of your feedback right here. Also be sure to swing by their site to check out more images released from today's matches. Stay tuned for more!

I'd like to thank the USI team (I know they're watching) personally. I had an awesome time testing this mod, and was glad they gave us the opportunity.

Great read, by the way, Jofaba. :)

Re: TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

Awesome preview. Now I'm even more hyper to play the mod.

Thanks for new screenshots. Saddam looks great :) Also, I like the look of that M4(?), it looks really detailed.

p.s.: Next time try using the "renderer.drawhud 0" command.

Re: TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

Yeah nice one... looks like fun. Now we sit back and wait so we can enjoy the pleasures of a mod, and get out of this stupid ranking corperate spell EA has put on us. I hope people will pull away from ranking and play the mods. I know I will.

Re: TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

hmm dont know why i dont have that usi mod team thing under my name, but anyways, just to clear some things up: The f16 has 6 AA missiles with no reloads, and the a10 and su25 have air to ground missles that fire quite fast

Fixed your title.

On the A10, there are 19 A2G missiles, correct?

Duly noted =P

Re: TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

Currently, the A-10 has 14 A2G Hydra rockets (Su25 has more) but is carrying no A2A missiles (like the Su25). The two fighters (MiG-29/F16) each carry 6 A2A missiles (no reloads). So, really, no plane has more than 6 missiles (the fighters) while the bombers have no missiles Hope that helps clear it up!

Re: TotalBF2 Previews US Intervention

I like the look of those city maps but do these maps have buildings which you can go into.

Bf2 has bugger all and its something i miss from Dc which had heaps of statics which offered protection, ambush possibilities and hiding places.

I know what you mean m8. Unfortunately, atm we're limited to using BF2 statics which means that the majority of buildings are not enterable. We're planning masses of statics for future releases, but to include them in our 0.1 release would cause a delay which we find unacceptable atm. Hope you'll understand when you get playing
