DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Now that I do I have a killer map for you USI mappers. It is called The Battle of Madina Ridge (google it) and it does take place during the Gulf War (and it did actually happen). It was the largest tank battle since WWII involving the M-1 and the T-72. The T-72s were dug in behind a 6mile long ridge, with the American tanks on the offesive. Oviously the Americans won. I think only 1 lost tank, but not from direct fire. CHECK IT OUT.

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

I'm having a crash to desktop problem...


Now people say switching the video settings to medium will fix this.... I tried and it did...

BUT not EVERYONE can handle medium settings.. for me the loading time and amount of lag about triples... It's not worth it


3 maps will work for me on low but the rest won't and I can't handle medium


Are there any other solutions right now or do you guys at USI plan on fixing this somehow?

The real Medina Ridge might not have been much of a battle, but ours will be

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

After going through the maps a few times, these are my thoughts:

-The tank battles are the strongest part of the mod. I don't know why, but they have an avesome feeling, its the closest to reality an arcadde game can get :) (just one question: HEAT or SABOT against Bradleys?)
-The vehicles are good in armor and strenght, only the BRDM SPANDREL seems to be a bit overpowered (five one shot-one kill AT rockets is a bit of an overkill for me).
-I love the facts that tanks can actually go up a hill..
-Infantry fighting is only ok, because i could live with a higher damage
-The maps are great both in design and in variety
- aside from some graphical issues (A10 and the Frogfoot both have parts that should not be visible from the hud-only view), the planes and choppers are perfect, mostly beacuse the hand-held AA counters them well. Still, the manouverability of the Apache is a bit anti-Newtonian :)
-I'm waiting axiously for the sniper hotfix

Unsure when u say BUT not EVERYONE can handle medium settings. do u mean ur PC cant handle it or the GFX sux. Bcos i tell u sumert pal, this MOD aint about the GFX its about the gameplay & boy there is penty of that.

BTW not all the settings have to be MEDIUM, just TERRAIN.

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

I think he meant that the bullets in BF2 dont pack much of a punch, like shooting bunnies rather than lead. Or he might just be insane and have issues with bunnies, lol.

Both are correct answers. Is it you, bunny lord?:shock:

About every part of my computer just barly meets the minimum requirements to play Bf2 so low is all I can do if I want to move around..


I tried just changing terain and that didn't do the trick, I had to turn my overall visuals to medium

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

I miss the BMP-2...

Other than that, I really like this mod. The maps without air-power are by far my favorites (73 Easting!!). Some of the sounds are a bit too loud for my taste, especially the aircraft sounds (when flying yourself). Good job USI team, I look forward to your future releases.

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

So far, I enjoy it more than BF2 and I find that it actually runs smoother on my comp than plain old BF2.

I haven't had a chance to play all the maps, but so far, I like it. A few things I have noticed:

1) T72 is super easy to get a 1s1k on in a tank vs tank scenario compared to the Abrams, which I actually haven't found a nice angle to bean that on yet. But the T72 really is horribley easy to do it on, if I still had my webspace, I'd up a vid for you guys. If one of you devs that are reading this and haven't seen it yet, pm me and I can email a small clip to you.

2) On the fighter jets, please put a secondary HUD on so that you can switch the radar to 'off' mode while flying. Even if it means not being able to fire your missiles at the same time, that would be fine, it would still allow you to sneak up on someone and start tagging them with the main gun.

3) Mite want to think about putting a little more arc in the AT rounds or slow them down a hair, I've sniped people with them already and I'm sure they will find their way into being used as a dumbfire AA missile.

Re: US Intervention v0.1 Released

hmm great mod but let me say few things again

burning oilfield map..
everything is all good except the fogdistance..

fogdistance on that map is ridiculous.. how are we suppose to fly around with the visibility of karkand? there's about zero landmarks that tell us where the hell we are actually going unless we look at the whole map by pressing M
so if you guys could just increase the fogdistance by tad bit, that'd be great

second thing is, there got to be a 2nd shooting mode in fighter jets
it's impossible to sneak upon somebody's 6 if your jet is just constantly locking on everything and the enemy jet

great mod.. so i hope you guys can fix things up a bit
thanks
