There is a new update posted today over at the <a href="http://www.battlefield40k.com/forums/" target="_blank">Battlefield 40k</a> mod website. They have progress news to share as well as what they expect in their first release. Here's what they had to say:<blockquote>The aim of our modification for first release is to have a series of story linked maps in a campaign of Imperial Guard vs Tau Empire. Our objectives for first release are as Follows: 7 Classes for either side, 1 APC per side (Imperial Guard Chimera APC with Multilaser, Tau Devilfish APC), 1 Tank per side (Imperial Guard Leman Russ Battle Tank, Tau Hammerhead Tank with Railgun)<p>Most of the recent progress has been in creating sound effects for many of the weapons and vehicles of the Imperial Guard. As for modelling we are facing problems importing the cadian infantry model to the bf2 engine. Duke has been busy creating infantry weapons such as the Laspistol and Rocket Launcher.The Hellgun Currently is awaiting textures to be made for it. Bismark who is trialling to join our team is working on an Autogun. Alan is working on upgrading the Chimera APC model with Multilaser, and he is Making the Commanders Artillery in the form of an Earthshaker Cannon Platform.</blockquote><center><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/earthshaker_10.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_earthshaker_10.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/laspistol_showcase.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_laspistol_showcase.jpg"></a><br><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/Lemanruss.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_Lemanruss.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/marine_wip_12_14_0583.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_marine_wip_12_14_0583.jpg"></a></center><br>Some very impressive work done so far on this mod.

Re: Battlefield 40k Mod Update
Very intresting... Must of taken a while to create such a detailed player model! And I think it is still a WIP by the wording of the submission. This kid down my street plays with these little models and such, kinda cool someone is making a mod out of it. -

Re: Battlefield 40k Mod Update
Mycatfield is quite a busy person being the professional character modeller he is.
Thats why its taken about 2 months to make and still WIP, he works on it now and again.
Hopefully by the time he is finished we should have IG and tau in game fighting each other.
Space marines will not feature until the second release as all of the bf1942 vehicle models need to be upgraded to be higher poly and retextured.
I made a news post on our website on current progress of the mod.

Re: Battlefield 40k Mod Update
All looks really nice but those space marines are way to skinny, they should be far more bulky. The helmets really look the part though.Comment

Re: Battlefield 40k Mod Update
Awesome! I don't know anything about the story or the characters, but it still works because when you go that far into the future, you have the creative control to pull back on technology a bit because you can picture it as a world pulling itself out of the scrap metal of what existed before it. If these total conversion mods look as good as they appear they might, and don't make BF2 bog down to utter unplayability performance-wise, then I think a new future of gaming might be appearing. I know that total conversion mods exist, but some of these for BF2 seem, at least to a noob like me, to really be cutting edge and pushing the engine limitation envelope. Really innovative stuff here. =)Comment
