Battle Server Mod
Posted: 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.
