Battle Server Mod

Post by **BoOn** » July 28th, 2011, 12:11 pm

Hey there fellas,

I got the green light from Spec to go ahead and make a mod for the battle server as the majority of players really enjoyed the Dustbowl mod. Rather than it being a map based mod that you install directly to your levels folder this one will install to your mods folder just the way other mods like DC does. I love the idea of using new weapons and vehicles from so many other mods and playing them on maps with a bunch of guys from the EA117 Community.

Now I am making this post because I would like to have the input from all you guys on what you would like to see on this mod, Maybe you seen a cool weapon or a map on a different mod before and would like to suggest it so I hope you do. The way I like to mod is too keep a balance within the maps so there is no one vehicle that can dominate a map without another vehicle or weapon that can counter it. I would like to keep the vehicles modern aswell, the only exception to that would be the maps which can be from any mod/era (Except EoD, sorry Rally, due to the amount of vegitation on those maps would significantly increase the mod size).

Now with that being said I have a couple ideas that I am thinking of.

-Importing a few of the DCX helos to mix in with jets, the difference here is that the helos wont be cannon fodder for the jet boys as the helos have sidewinders mounted to them like the MI-28 Havoc on the dustbowl mod.

-The MLRS/BM-21 in DCX have a drone that can be launched from them so you dont need to rely on your teammates to call arty for you, just fly the drone around untill you spot a juicy target and call arty for yourself. Have I ever mentioned I love the arty lol.

-There are 3 maps from one of Apache Thunders mods that I think would make a great addition to this mod Sharqi Peninsula/Strike at Karkand/Dalian Plant. These are map conversions he did from the BF2 and put them into the bf42 game.

-Anti-personnel mines

-Seen some nice jets aswell from both the BF242/DCX mods that the jet boys would love , they fly great and sound great, one of the jets (F-15c/F-16c?) has bombs that can be dropped by the secondary postion like the tomcat, The AC-130 Spectrum also drops the MOAB in DCX

So that is some of my ideas and thoughts and would love to hear from you fellas what you think would be a nice addition.

LMMFAO ....Spec actually editted my original post hahahahahhahahaha ... I promise it didn't say that hahahhahahaha ... OMG I am seriously LOL'd

ok so to be serious... one of the things we were talking about before is to make the F117 usable by making it two player. a ground based bombardier that controls an SA3 type missile/bomb that fires from the F117 so the pilot only fly's around avoiding the enemy..

Post by **BoOn** » July 28th, 2011, 6:54 pm

Ya I do like that Idea alot, It would make the F117 alot less limp and not just something pretty to look at on the airfield, could also bump up the speed a bit. Thanks for the suggestion MOJO

my pleasure. we (AIDS, etc) had a lot of great ideas but lacked the talent to actually do it... :S

Post by **BoOn** » July 28th, 2011, 7:55 pm

Keep up the good suggestions if you have others MOJO

That's one hell of an idea. Especially a guided bomb ... I LOVE it.

In the planes you mentioned. There is not a carpet bomber is there. Say on that drops 5 to 10 bombs real quick. But make it to where you get 2 maybe 3 passes max before having to reload. Be really cool on big maps.

Is it possible to make some tankers happy with a kit package that includes Grails, a wrench, that dandy automatic pistol, and an assault weapon?

Post by **Nightstalker** » July 28th, 2011, 8:35 pm

Wow ... greedy aren't we. Next he will ask for his tank to shoot nukes

Post by **BoOn** » July 28th, 2011, 8:44 pm

Ahh , so your talking about a plane that carpet bombs like the B-17/JU-88 , hmmm I have not seen a plane that multiple bombs would make sense on , mabey the Avro Arrow from DCX could pull off the look as from my understanding the DCX coders made it more like a bomber than a fighter (fastest jet in the dc series). And RFA that can be done no problem , all the kits can be mixed and matched but I dont want to end up making a dominating kit but your suggestion sounds good, I hate the shot gun anyways, i cant shoot it for the life of me and I get killed easily by it lol, the shotgun on DCX has a scope and seems to use a bullet rather than buckshot .....

Ya I agree , the vegitation in EoD is pretty good but its the amount of it that creates lag for ppl with slower computers.

Actually I was hoping for that option with the automatic pistol!

A tanker can sorta create a similar kit now by gathering one of the Grail kits scattered around the map. It has the assault weapon, automatic pistol, and Grails. The only thing missing is the wrench.

Yes, I agree that the shotty discriminates against large boned creatures such as myself! Most engineers can put the full load of shot into my carcass at 1000 yards. I'm thinking of forming the Big Lardasses Against Shotgunning Tards (or BLAST for short) Association and suing the rest of you lot for discrimination!
