US Intervention Mod Update

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

About the movie:

It's a preview teaser for the mod. It's not meant to be a cinematic movie with an elaborate script or acting despite how it may be portrayed. Nothing more, nothing less. Every effort was made by Mark to make it as enjoyable and authentic looking/sounding as possible - eg, notice how the guys mounted the Blackhawks? That's military experience dictating that scene.

TELL ME WHY?

I'm sorry m8, but we've only ever released one precise date (March 12) and we've explained that in the past. The Streets teaser did say April (we never said April 10th despite what certain team members may have told you, it was not official), but I think you'll forgive that slight delay given what you'll receive.

Relax guys, you're going to be playing this sooner than you realise

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

cant wait fellas! - tell me though, it says in the write up "total conversion mod"... would you really call this mod a total conversion? Im seeing stock bf2 weapons, player models and skins, statics ground textures etc etc not to belittle the mod - but total conversion is supposed to mean total conversion...

Music is by an awesome Composer named Tom Salta, Check out his website here. I love every bit of audio this guy makes. He also does a lot of audio for US commercials.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

video looks awesome guys.

only complaint is when the US dood kills the iraqi dood on the stairs: he really lays into him with bullets but he still has time to turn around, so it seemed pretty weak..


ps: usi team should code in a permaban of esisthebest. :laugh:

Player Skins are new, and tons of custom Statics are in the mod. This Video isn't from the final build and sorry to say this video doesn't do the final build justice, there just so much more. I know my Video doesn't show all that but it shows a level of professionalism we are aiming for even in something so simple as a teaser videos. No worry Jimbob a lot of what your looking for may/or may not be (I can't say anything) already in the final build or in the works.

(have to go to class now, thank you for the Constructive Crit. everyone. You guys made my day :-D)

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

on 5 occasions they have made this mistake.

That's unfair. We've already said that there has not been five delays. By your logic you could announce that we're going to release tomorrow and if we don't that'll be the sixth delay. Come on, be fair.

as with any busness even if it is non profit, you are required to go by what you say.

We're not a business.

you have loyal consumers like me who want to see you guys succeed but dont want to wait 2 months extra from your first release date

Consumers by their nature pay for a product or a service. This mod is being released free. People who download and play it are fans, not consumers.

I aprpeciate that you're looking forward to the mod (who'd blame you after all ), but you need to realise some things about the situation as I've pointed out above.

I guess by that nature then, very very very few mods can be considered a Total Conversion.. I think the "Total Conversion" aspect is more in keeping with "we're not just tweaking BF2 vehicles and settings and releasing it, we're doing more than that by making it into a completely new atmosphere and game dynamic with nearly all new content". USI has a familiar BF2 feeling, but it's a totally different game imho. Who knows, maybe by 1.0 there'll be nothing from BF2 left

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

aND Also isnt waiting 2 months patient enough for you. you obviously havnt been following this mod carefully and neither has anyone else for that matter, because no one else seems to know how they have been postponing for so long.

P.S.
thanks markhawk and uh60pilot for looking into whether i can be a beta tester. You see how devoted i am to this mod and its great that you put me on the beta testing team.

oh wait you didnt even give me a reply telling me whether i made it or not. thats good caring for the community

Let me clear a few things up for you guys about the delays. The first release date was set by one of our old coders, and we decided that we would not have enough content of "good" quality to release. Thats the main reason for the first delay. The second delay was as mark said his fault. Those are the main reason for all the delays. But keep in mind, we are doing this for free and many of us are still in school and right around now is exam time which = less time for the mod. Also we are a new mod team, yes it has been around since bfv, but i dont think it ever was released, so we are still learning about a lot of things. One of those being how long it takes to be sure you are ready to release and how far in advance you can anounce it. This sounds like we are giving excuses but you asked for reasons and these are them, no BS. Next time we should be better with the release dates, we will learn from our mistakes.

We appreciate your support and hope you continue to support us. I think you will be happy with the release when it comes.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

i love the mod but just one thing why wouldnt it be right for me to say it was a lie/dely if you said it will be released tomorrow. it makes perfect sense that what you would be doing is misinforming us. ok thats all. YAY FOR USI(even with the delay stuff)

For markhawk or titanfire or uh60 pilot or jarlief and especially petemonster29 i would take a bullet or even an rpg to the chest





in game of course lol!

Chill out and drop it. Now think about what you have said to the mod team, and relax. Now repeat after me, goosefraba...

Sounds like I'm going to be playing the mod this weekend.

It would be if I did go and say we were going to release tomorrow and we didn't release. Hence, why I'm not going to say it :P

My point above was that you were quoting dates (eg, April 10th) that we never announced and claim it was another delay when there was no release on April 10th. You may have gotten the wrong end of the stick from chatting to people, but there was never an official announcement saying that. Hence, my (somewhat exaggerated) point above about you could say that someone told you it'd be released tomorrow and if it wasn't that it counts as another delay... even when there's nothing official on it.

Man that's getting complicated to think about

On last thing, the only way to become a betatester is to sign up on our forums and apply in the apopriate thread.

And again thanks for all your support!

I agree, but even moreso due to your avatar.

I'm just as excited, if not more excited, as the general public is about the upcoming release

Community feedback makes me feel all giddy inside :banana:

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Ita a kick ass video production Mark, plain and simple.

You and I both know that I have some inside knowledge about such things. I would consider that vid as part of my resume without a doubt!!

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Enough teasers, screenshots etc. already, just give us the mod. Aside from adding in new maps, models, skins etc. did you guys alter airplane/helo flight characteristics at all? Were any modifications done to how the heatseeking missiles and anti-air guns work? Same question applies to weapon accuracy as well - IMO weapon accuracy in BF2 blows. Hopefully you guys modified all of this and have your own "feel" rather than just a BF2 clone with different models and maps.
