Extreme Realism Update: Three is Company

[Webs961]

Some exciting news has just been released from the team behind the Battlefield 2142 Extreme Realism mod. Plans are in the works to add an entirely new faction to the fight, the North American Coalition, and update more of the core content of Battlefield 2142. Read what dtneter had to say:

You may have noticed it's been rather quiet...generally only a few photos posted every couple of Weeks/Days.

But here at Destruction Designs (ER) we have something fantastic to announce. We've been taking to heart what people wanted to see in 2142, with that in mind...We have started on what we call the "Northern American Coalition".

AKA the NAC.

Yes, You read right...a Third Faction.

...

As you all most likely know, we recently showed off the R1 Drone. Apart from being made from the NAC, All Gun drones/Drones are being
moved to Normal kits; in order for more exciting Squad Leader stuff to be added, we had to do it.

We would ALSO Like to announce destructible scenery! That's right! Remember those fences on Gibraltar? Tired of people sitting behind them and firing? Blow the **** out of the fence and get even.

The main news post over at ModDB has tons of additional information regarding new vehicles for the NAC, historical details about the North American Coalition, and other goodies such as a destructable fence development video, so take a look!

Re: Extreme Realism Update: Three is Company

nice guys, like the drop ship thing. You should make it so it can pick up vehicle,s if possible which I very much doubt :p

You could make it spawn a vehicle on its belly, and then you can drop it, go back to base and reload it thou?

The ability to deploy a scout car from a transport chopper would be amazingly cool.

Excellent work.

The model and design of that aircraft is awesome. Some good texturing and that could be compared against any model in the game.

Oddly enough, I was the one who wrote that update ;D.

If you have any questions feel free to ask on our Forums (Link at our Moddb http://www.moddb.com/mods/extreme-realism-mod/news)

Or the sub-forum we have at www.flotservers.net

I think I remember PR trying to do that Vehicle Drop from a Dropship thing, and I recall it failing...might be wrong though.

In PR we have Transport Choppers (& Trucks, jeeps etc) deploying supply drops, which wouldn't be too hard to turn into a Jeep that was on the underside of that aircraft in flight.

If any one has played the Battleships mod they had planes in there carriers that you could deploy and where dropped out in the sea next to the carrier

Oh, My apologies then.

I do know of the Supply Crate dealie, I just thought that I read that it was different from a Vehicle, But it seems I may be wrong.

I didn't read ALL of said thread, I just remember seeing the video of the...Weasel I think it was appearing ontop of the Helicopter.

If we can get it to work and fit into our storyline then it will probably be included :).

Re: Extreme Realism Update: Three is Company

well personally I see not too long in the future we will see better types of vehicle air lifting, I mean we already have, and had Chinooks and other choppers mainly uses for air lifting purposes, its only going to get more advanced as far as I can see.

I think a magnetic air lifting system or something, that has been done in many scifi games, mainly RTS will work well with what you guys want :)

Re: Extreme Realism Update: Three is Company

While we're trying to achieve realism we're definately not going for PR's type of realism, as it is the game is harsher in our version but you still have some leniency that you'd never get with PR. (Just thought I'd get that out of the way).


I do agree that there should be something of that nature.

There will be alot more sophisticated Vehicles for each side as well,
Such as a Hover Bike that can jump over large obstacles at the press of a button.

Yeah, They stated in Developement they were using bf2's engine..

But if you think its just a Mod then you need to think again.

I dare a group of Modders to make a Better if not the same version of 2142 for BF2 and say "There were no problems".

:\...People make "Mods" for Engines all the time, Halo CE was a "Mod" of Unreals engine.
