    TotalBF2 Reviews Battlefield Pirates 2 v1.0

    Our very own HKSniper is back again with his latest mod review, this time testing out the first release of the Battlefield Pirates 2 mod. Here's the intro to the article:
    It has been a long time since I've had the chance to write a review, and it only seemed proper to come back with a bang. A bang of cannon and musket fire, that is.

    The world of Pirates is back into the Battlefield series with Battlefield Pirates 2. Many of you probably remember the older modification for Battlefield 1942, which pitted two separate teams of Pirates against one another on a conquest map. Most maps were set in tropical regions to resemble the time's locations of pirating, and the load of custom content as abundant.

    The same can be said for this installment into the series. The modification comes with a load of new content, from maps and weapons, upwards to the props used in the maps. It's a breath of familiar fresh air into the Battlefield series of modifications. While most mods keep on a real world conflict, Pirate's fictional universe is not only something new to play in, but fun as well.

          Thanks to the Battlefield Pirates 2 team, nice work! I haven’t had this much fun playing a mod in a long time. Runs very smooth besides the isolated CTD issue with the one map, but I’m sure that will be addressed. Love the snipermusket btw and sailing the high seas is a blast. The creativity in the kits goes a long way in making the gameplay unique. Nice touch of nostalgia by the addition of the Bf1942 style health and ammo at flags. Two thumbs up! The only things I noticed ingame were that the sprint does not always engage unless the bar is at least half full (perhaps this is by design), the stairs on the ships are a bit wonky to get up sometimes, and the grog doesn’t work in the Church CP on Storm the Bastion. Other than that everything works great! I’ve been recommending the mod to everyone that I know that plays BF2.

              No the sprint was done on purpose to help cut down on bunny hopping. You can sprint farther in BFP2 than in BF2 because of the lack of land vehicles, however during testing we found it annoying to have people run in, take a shot, then sprint away while reloading as you chased them down with a cutlass. So to compromise, we made it so you cant start sprinting unless you have 50&#37; stamina and made jumping knock off a healthy slice of it as well. For those that can conserve stamina and use it wisely, you will find it much easier to chase after a foe and chop him to pieces.

              A note on the review, the recorded line was actually Get Yer Arse Aboard - but after compressing to ogg format to a 40kb file it does sound a lot like he swears there. We had one tester who thought the I Smell Fresh Meat spotted voice was I Smell French Cheese. LOL

              Anyways, we've made a major overhaul of the open beta and are about to put out a 1.2 version which is far more stable and includes the missing map Black Beards Atol. Keep your eyes on our site - the download will be a full install at just over 320MB.

                Thanks for the information, 1/2 Hawk, interesting. Nice to hear the reasoning behind the decisions. I'll look forward to the coming update.

                      I played the beta and the only thing I didn't like was the runspeed... not really a big fan of run & gun games. Also some maps had serious framerate issues. Looks like the first one got fixed.

                      I have yet to play this release but I will definitely give it a try when I get a chance.
