[[7ID]B|REC.Ace101]

The US Intervention mod website has been recently updated with some new images and information. They are also happy to announce that USI will be ranked. Take a look:

USI is back with some great news! Our team continues to make progress on 0.15 This time we have renders of the Gazelle SA 342 to show you.

The Eurocopter/Aerospatiale SA 342 Gazelle is a French built multi purpose light helicopter from the 1960s. USI will include 3 versions; the SA 341F with 2 7.62mm AA-52 FN MG Pods; the SA 342L with 4 2.75-in rockets and the SA 342K with 4 HOT ATGMs and 2 57-mm rockets.

Of course, models are made to get ingame. This weeks new ingame model is de M167 VADS, which you saw renders of in our previous update.

On to the great news now. USI has decided to go ranked! This is possible through the Alternative Battlefield Ranking system. We hope this will help draw more people to USI, and hence make USI a more enjoyable game for everyone. For more info on ABR you can visit their website. (click on the logo)

Looks good USI .



Why the hell rank your mod . It dosent even make sense and it just wrecks the game and attitudes of other players . 2cents

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

as stated above it draws more players to the mod, plus sum people like to be rewarded when they gain such points. I aint too fussed tbh.

it draws smacktards into gameplay...Id rather have a smaller following filled with quality players, rather than a buch of servers filled with statpadders.......

edit:but I respect your decision to include, I just dont agree with it. But Its your mod and I wish the best of luck

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

The ranking system sucks because the whores get all upset everytime they dont get there precious plane ......boooo . So they stand in front of it and it just keeps getting out of control .

Double Amen to that.

DC didnt use a ranking system. You could track things with servers and scrypts, but it had little to no bearing on anything. I miss those days, the entire ranking system blows chunks, plain and simple.

P.S. Your Gazelle looks friggin bad *** guys, nice work.

Some points

BF1942 didnt have a ranking system (although there was a stat tracking system - bftracks or something like that) therefore DC wasnt missing out a feature the original bf1942 had.

DC was as ground breaking as Desert Combat, and effectivelly took a huge part of the bf1942 audiance.

That aint down to to purelly ranking - you get arseholes in all walks of life and in bf2, airbases seem like an arsehole magnet

Your still going to get people tkin g or deliberate tk punishing you to try to get you kicked by standing in front of your plane taking off - ranking or not.

That would be nice, but every mod i've checked out has if there lucky only a handful of players playing on them!!!!!

Now most of the mods out have offered something genuinelly different to the bf2 vanilla experience, loads of new maps and some different gameplay objectives - yet people arent playing them!!

Now with the addition of ranking (my stance is i couldnt give a rats *** for medals or ranks, but i do like to keep an eye on my stats), it offers players that do like the stats/medals/ranks an oppurtunity to grow them on a mod, which means more people on the servers, that will gain attract more people to the servers, which can only be good.

Fair play the more players you see playing a game is directlly proportional to the amount of ar seholes that will play, but to be honest I'd rather play on a busy server with a few ar seholes on rather than an empty server......

Good move USI and good update.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

I kind of expected these mixed reactions :) But don't worry, for those who don't want ranks, there will be unranked USI servers.

Gee, thanks for totaly repeating what I said as if you were giving me info, lol.

Like I said, there was no ranking system, but you could keep track of your stats if you wanted to, and the server kept track of them.

I dont think its the end of the world for this mod, but it seems strange to embrace one of the things that a huge part of the community that actually is into MODs hates about bf2. I hope it works out, but I just wouldnt advise going in that direction, as I dont believe it will pull in the little hoes that demand it, they will be playing 2142, and probably WOW or something, lol.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

i made this post on USI site a while back:

Honestly, I can’t stand people when they talk about ranks/stats and unlocks. It doesn’t promote team play IMO. it only promotes bragging rights, hey look at me I have xyz gun unlocked, hey my rank is higher than yours. FYI Bf1942 was a huge success with out ranks or points, well they had bftracks toward the end, but it only showed your KDR and best round.
It’s sickening to see people demanding to add ranks to mods just so they can feel good about themselves doing something that they should be doing anyway in order to stay alive, help your teammates and eventually WIN. OMG i healed you, i deserve a point..if you're a medic its your job to heal/revive ppl, points or no points.

however, i understand in order to keep the mod alive and populated, the guys at USI must implement some type of stat system to keep all the monkeys happy, and give them a treat everytime they do something to help the team (which they should already be doing).

i don't know if they can do this, but here is an idea about ranks/pts etc... you can ONLY receive points if your TEAM wins. and with auto balance on, people will not be able to switch to the winnning team to gain those points.
