US Intervention Mod Update

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

"Ripped off" sounds a bit harsh, doesn't it? How about "inspired by"? It's a free mod, I'm not really sure it's literally possible to rip anything off. That's like saying Final Strike rips off Star Wars =P

Exactly. Also, I don't believe any sounds were from OFP. To my knowledge (Mark can correct me here if I'm wrong), all sounds were from BF2. There's a tonne of sounds in BF2 that were recorded but aren't ingame - eg, "Squad 2, Squad 5, Squad 7, Squad 9".

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

I agree Markhawk, BHD is an amazing movie. I use it as inspiration in sound design, so friggin intense and scary. The Video didnt remind me Of BLackhawk down at all.

I mean, the situation is Blackhawk helicopters, and special forces troops, but
It happens on a set of docks, against no somalian soldiers, the enemy has armor, theres flash style animation, black and white side by side shots........

Actaully, its not even really similar to Black Hawk Down at all.

I think the part where the choppers turned in sync reminder me of BHD. If you remember the scene with the Littebirds doing the hop up, rotate and down again in sync (that was awesome ). That's about the height of it though.

As Mark says, the mounting of the troops into the Blackhawk was directed by one of our testers who served with the British TA in Iraq. We were originally doing it one way and he stopped and pointed out the correct mounting procedures, so we ran with it :)

Yes, that one scene. My point was that it was a well thought out production, and stands on its own. If you think it might be as simple as taking a movie idea, and ban its a wrap....

Then you probably dont know anything about Avid systems, and how much work it takes to get to the point where you can complete something like that video, in you spare time no less, .

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

spare time .

? Where do I get me some of that! :laugh:

Again all sounds were in BF2 but not used or custom made. Check my last post on Page 7.

I love Avid. Hate low frame rates ... boo

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Hmmm.........I love this mod..already even though I haven't played it. But might I suggest maybe for a next release, that Tank Rounds/ TOW/ ATGM are one shot one kill? I Understand that no abrams was ever penetrated by an enemy tank due to the rounds the Iraqi's were using. But I still think it would make it more realistic..Or do something like it takes 3=Front 2=Sides, Side turret. 1= Rear, Back hull, Tracks? Hey just a suggestion, but you guys are the geniouses(sp?) here :)

A single TOW to kill a tank is overkill, don't listen to this guy.

There comes a point where realism must bow down to gameplay and overall balance. If we made it like you suggest there, the Abrams would be invisible to the T72 while it would rape absolutely everything else on the battlefield.. that wouldn't be much fun, eh?

I don't see us ever making those things one-shot-kills. With the one exception atm which is the Hellfire/AT-2 Swatter missiles

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

ya ........i think its pretty good the way it is now......however at one time i felt the same way about making 1 shot 1 kills.............as we add equipment you may see this for gameplay sake but dont hold me to it.............It's hard enuff in USI now to stay rape free.........like if you fly a helo you may pwn tanks but the aa WILL get you............if you drive a tank.... apcs with skilled crews or if well placed will pwn you.........if you fly a tankbusted aa and fighters will pwn you....all the way back to infantry equipped to pwn everything...almost.
the stinger and grail work very well as deterrents for helo pilots.......its fun to watch em bob and weave ......only to leave smokin............and to watch a jet being followed by these things thru the scope..............what a riot =].......you have to play....it's a blast...no pun intended.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

btw guys, c on the video, the the back of the choppers it says 'US ARMY'???
I THOUGH IT WAS THE USMC

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

No our Blackhawk is a real Blackhawk.
The soldier camo is Army so the copper says UNITED STATES ARMY too.
We will re-introduce the USMC in later releases

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

You can bet your life, I will live five years less caused by our first release of FH1 :laugh:

be easy with jimbob, he is right, a total conversion must have a totally diferent theme with the original, total conversions are Surreal, Codename Eagle, Paintball mod and other mods that will come in future. Of course, yours has the same kind of ambitious scope and work in its development, is just a matter of semantic.

hay how lobo, u shouldnt be a corpral, be the 1 and only FH Creator

Nope. BF2 is using the USMC. USI 0.1 features the US Army. Our later versions will bring in the Marines though.
