    Eve of Destruction Mod Update

    The Eve of Destruction mod team is back today with their latest media update to showcase. Here's what they had to say:
    Another week, another Daily Advisor to inform all of our fans. This week's advisor focuses on the smaller things troops use in the field, which are also the small odds and ends which really are difficult to tie up in a mod. Many members have been working hard even this late in the release schedule to produce these small items, which really add to the ambiance of the mod. Could we have just used BF2 stuff for this? Of course, but it would detract from the Vietnam ambiance. We at Eve of Destruction pride ourselves on bringing a truly unique experience to the battlefield.

    I would also like to take this news release to remind everyone who can to apply at http://www.eodmod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2136 because we will soon wrap up this process by sending out the invitations to everyone our team has recognized, as well as those who apply and are accepted.

    Additionally, I want to describe the form artillery will take in our first release. We will not use BF2 artillery, but a player controlled option different from other mods or games. Both sides have static mortars, (with player deployable versions in the works). The U.S. and NVA/VC also have howitzers (105's and M46's though they are less common on the maps). Once the player fires the weapon, they enter a chase cam which follows the shell. While this might seem overpowering, it is quite difficult to aim without someone helping to spot them because of the speed of the shell. Below are a couple pictures of mortar induced destruction. Lastly, here are a few screen shots of most of the items discussed in the Advisor.

                It's the "small odds and ends" that shows your mod is well worth the wait! Keep up the great work!

                    Nice updates guys, can't wait to play this one.
                    I'm really curious how this will play.
                    Hope you can give it some BF vietnam ambient.
                    I'm one of those rare people who still love BFV.
                    The maps, colors, ambient, sounds of Vietnam really keep me playing it.

                    It always be BF2, but from what i've seen you guys are doing the best to create a different ambient.

                    Good job!!

                            Great job! I think it's very cool how each mod is implementing their own versions of artillery. Cool to see there are so many ways to do things.

                              EOD 1 is still one of my all time favorites.

                              One point though about a mortar you can follow with in 1st person. Every time I have that option in a game, I use it to gain recon more than an attack. I know that was the case for the SA3 in DC.

                              Cant wait to play it
