Mod Of The Week - Battlefield Pirates 2

[Spawndemon]

It's time to start a new feature here at TotalBF2.com, and that feature is a mod of the week. Our newly hired article writer NateDawg=US= has made the Battlefield Pirates 2 mod his first spotlight article. Here's a portion of his writing:

How can a game that involves precision ground combat, tank battles, and helicopter support convert to a game involving mostly naval combat you ask? I mean, the only thing that Battlefield 2 has close to naval combat is that rubber raft and the static aircraft carrier. Well, the Battlefield Pirates team has figured it out. Their history of changing the gameplay in it's entirety is continuing in the Battlefield 2 version of the mod with a growing dedicated development team and a passion for perfection. The Pirates team wants to play off of the huge success of their Battlefield 1942 version of the mod as well as expand massively with new content, more balanced gameplay, and more frequent releases. The development team wants to appeal to all players of Battlefield 2 with a master equation that includes a large emphasis on naval combat, combined with unique vehicles, weapons, and classes.

Once you enter the ship, it balances out the weight (discussed last week here: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79902 )

It does, while not shown in the screen, the version with the cannon (gnat) is show in an ingame shot there, thought the second paddle is barely noticable in that shot :)

"There are a few features in BF2142 that I wish Dice would simply add support to for modding community in BF2 though, but I suppose if we do make the leap to 2142, there will be a few advantages."

I can only think of one thing when I see this... using the squad leader's little automated robot thing to code a parrot.

If for no other reason, this would justify the jump to 2142.
