US Intervention Mod Update

[Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the US Intervention mod website. They are back showing off two new renders. Take a look:

USI is back again with another update. We're still hard at work on our next release! This week we bring to you the 2s1. Since it was seen in public for the first time in 1974, it also has been known under the provisional designation M1974 Gvodzika. And of course, we also have the US counterpart to the 2s1, the M109A3 Self-propelled Howitzer. I'll let the render speak for itself. Besides these two monsters we made a bunch of other stuff aswell like;

- all maps got a major overhaul
- new feature: tank smoke will now break laser locks
- all HUD-systems have been tweaked
- new HUD and minimap design
- all vehicles and weapons got tweaked
- a bunch of new weapons and vehicles
- most effects have been tweaked, some new ones have been added
- new feature: transmitter that can be placed on any vehicle to get the bombers attention
- all vehicles now take less or no damage from terrain

And last but not least we are looking for talented web designers, to help us out creating a brand new website.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Release date? Thought you guys were simply wrapping up the last minute stuff?

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Very generic ways of explaining what must be some very hard work. I will give it a try as soon as its available. Next time pick a more descriptive journalist among your team to explain the updates please.

"All weapons tweaked", and "a bunch of new weapons and vehicles" doesnt really tell us too much. However, I like surprises, so count me in either way guys.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

the work they put in to this mod is commendable
I disagree with their gameplay decisions on almost every level though so I won't be supporting them by playing it
Good luck to them though

If you say what parts you do not like (constructive criticism) it may help the devs, ALOT.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Very excited about some of the tweaks and such. Least fav part of the mod was the maps and the overhaul sounds great.

Thought you were working with them fairly closely to get some of your ideas into the game? Did they just outright say no? I read your ideas and I like a lot of what you put, very very thought out and descriptive. Shoulda been a very high priority on the USI devs list to sort through your stuff I would of thought. But seeings as how your not interested in the mod much anymore, I am very interested to know what happened...? Maybe PM me if you get a chance...? As I also am very interested in this mod and what you have placed at their feet to work on.

believe me when I say that the USI team have done amazing work and I am not and will not disparage their efforts
I enjoyed playing the earlier releases but it was not enough of an improvement or progression from BF2 to retain my and it seems many others' interest.
I truly hope they prove me wrong and wow everyone regardless of my personal opinions
Here's to a great future release

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Good enough bro, yeah I sure hope the same! I played the first releases also, but got lost with my clan building and improving things there. So am really looking forward to this next one.

Hopefully they will WOW us all and I'll see ya in a game or two

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Next time pick a more descriptive journalist among your team to explain the updates please.

"All weapons tweaked", and "a bunch of new weapons and vehicles" doesnt really tell us too much.

Haha sorry mate.
I suggested it in the news draft thread and MrGold used it 1:1 for the news lol

I disagree with their gameplay decisions on almost every level though so I won't be supporting them by playing it

What about waiting for the next release and give it a new chance?
As the news update said, all maps have got a MAJOR overhaul.

Yeah. Thanks. There are some guys that didnt understand it yet..

no sp?

I knew I forgot something. We're working on SP support for all maps, 16, 32 and 64.
We also have some new game modes but I wont tell you to much now..

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Great update USI....looking forward to the next release.

I disagree with ya Skelator, re the gameplay aspects of USI. Thought what they done was far and away better than vanilla bf2, and the modelling and skinning was way superior also.

Just a pity it suffered the disease that just about all Bf2 mods have and thats not the quality of the early releases, which have been on the whole exceptional and with great content, have been for some reason (stats? publicity problems? phuk knows?) the Bf2 community for some reason prefer vanilla!!!!???!!

And a wee bit of praise to ya skelitor for your well put replies above, nice to see people putting reasoned argument, without resorting to mud slinging

EDIT: Oops forgot too mention the excellent coding work of wolfi, your effects work is outstanding.

Also, good too you guys are looking for somebody to redo ur web pages... about bloody time . Is definatelly the weakest part of your mod, hope ya get somebody thats going to sell it well.

Re: US Intervention Mod Update

Doesn't that mobile arty looks the same as in POE2 mode? It's just me, but what do you think?
