DustBowl Modded

Post by BoOn »

As a suggestion from numerous guys here, I am posting up a map based mod I created. It was a hobby mod that I worked on for over a year in my spare time.

What I did was take vehicles and weapons from other mods such as Apache Thunders BF242 mod, Forgotten Hope, EoD and some others I cant think of right now, I do not take credit in making the vehicles/weapons as all I did was import and tweak the code on the vehicles so players do not need those other mods to play this mod, but DCF is required to play it.

A bunch of us have had alot of fun playing this mod in CTF mode (CQ supported aswell) and would like to get more ppl to join us in a game , Usually the server is hosted on my pc when we do play it but would need someone with a faster PC if more ppl do install it.

I will list what I have on there right now

Main bases:
This is how the bases are setup for both sides, As you noticed I have reduced the amount of "Dust" on the map
Image

Arty:
It was hard to take a decent screenshot of this but whats going on is a wider spread of arty from the MRLS, by default in regular DCF all the artry hits in the same spot, this artry is coded to cover a wider area so moving your rack around is not needed. Line up your shot and let out a volley, it will destroy anything in and around the target your aiming for. I love this new spread action as its much more effective, the BM-21 also has the spread code
Image

DPV:
This is the BF2 style DPV, its fast and sounds much nicer
Image

FAV
Again this is a BF2 jeep, the Jeep Fav with a 360 rotating MK19
Image

Stationary Stinger:
Stationary BF2 stingers to help deal with pesky Opus/Rye on the rock occupied helos, Each base has one
Image

T-98:
Love this tank, BF2 tank with a turret that turns a full 360 unlike the T-72. I took out the weak MG gun on top and replaced it with a nice minigun
Image

Stationary TOW:
BF2 stationary tow missle placed at each flag, these pack the same punch as a tow from the humvee
Image

BF2 Tower
Replaced all the default towers in DC with the BF2 towers
Image

Tungunsta:
If you hated the shilka/vulcan , then your prob not gonna likethis one either as it fires dual guns aswell as 4 stingers. It is also a BF2 vehicle
Image

Defense Bunker:
This is located ontop the hill at the enterance to each main, A good lookout spot for helos and tanks, stinger kits/health box/ammo box are located in each one. This bunker is from FH
Image

Safety Bunker:
I call this the safety bunker, If anyone has played El Al CTF knows that when both flags are out the flag runners will hide in the hangar, this is the same concept. Its a place to defend the flag carrier untill it can be capped. VSS/Health box/Ammo Box are located in each bunker ,FH bunker
Image

AH1:
Again another BF2 helo, She sounds sweet in flight with the "thump thump thump" sound from the rotor blades, has a nice mean cannon and slim design hard to hit with another helo.
Image

Ka-50:
Ya this funny looking helo.....Well what it lacks in looks makes up for in speed, of the helos she is the fastest and only a 1 seater. I gave it only half the armament as the other helos to help keep the balance, very fun to fly
Image

MI24SE:
If anyone has played DCX then they will know this helo, She is badass !! . Each of the 6 positions is a gunner position, Pilot/Gunner , Door Gunners and wing gunners. Fill her up with infantry and she will give the enemy something to remember. Her armor is 50% stronger than the other attack helos and flies more agile than the default Hind in DCF
Image

MI28 Havoc:
This helo looks like a 1 tooth weasel from the front lol, She flies like a apache with the difference being that the gunner has control of the Hydra missles and cannon. The pilot has 8 hellfires and 2 stingers, again very fun to fly.
Image

A few miscellaneous things:
- All automatic weapons auto-reload once magazine is spent (for ppl like myself who sometimes forget to reload lol)
- All pistols have 20 bullets and are also automatic
- There are no jets/planes/sa-3's on this mod as in my opinion they do not mix well as we all know from Twin Rivers as a example
- All out of bounds are removed
- Terrain has also been modified slightly around mains

So I hope that this generates some interest in downloading the map and joining us in a game, Usually once a week a handful of us on TS will play it but this map would be funner with more players, Would also make a great community battle map as its well balanced.

The download can be found here:

File Size : 51mb http://www.gamefront.com/files/20534485 ... Modded_rar

Dustbowl Modded ---> Download hosted on this forum.

Please note that it was compressed using WinRar, Uncompressed file size 134mb. Install path included in "Read me" file inside rar.

EDIT:
For all of you fellas that already have this mod you need to delete that version and download the new one.
