Just checked out www.totalbf2.com and saw some GREAT updates on several mods! USI is looking sweet, I think I may have to give it another shot, anyone else in? PR's next release shows the challenger tank, wow o wow is it nice looking as is the new map they are showing! THere are some other great reviews over there.....check em out!

some of those airmaps look funky

movable battleships: bf2 should have kept that in

nations of war looks like a nice SF alternative

I'll be playing Air Maps and if WiH puts up new mod servers I'll try them (once my router is fixed/replaced)

have they patched USI since we played it? i mean, they must've, right? wasnt the sniper rifle's aim WAY off? i'd be up for trying it again.

anyone know what patch you gotta be at to play? is it .4 compatible?

ok, i wana play nations at war.

well, i decided to give some of the mods a chance, some of them a second chance.
downloaded USI last night and patched it and it runs fin on the .4 patch, but there's only 2 servers, both with 0 people in them. i would love to give this mod a go again some time, but either you'd have to advertise on a lot of bf2 and bf2 mod forums or get enough regs to commit to playing it. i really wana play that highway map that was like one of the EA booster pack's maps (af?)...although i cant really say since i only played the USI map, not the AF one. damnit...now i must play that map again! (ok, some one tell me that map is on USI, cause i cant seem to find a map list for it and their site is just a bunch of blank pages, save for the updates)

today, after being dissapointed with there being no one on USI, i downloaded OPK for the first time and i have mixed feelings. the guns, the vehicles, and what not look good. the maps seem great so far. there are two things so far that are a pain in the ass though. first of all, the only populated server is...that's right: EUROPEAN! hooray for 160 ping! all my kills register a half second after i score them. that doesnt mean i wasnt able to own, but it is kind of annoying at times. the second thing that i found distracting was that they used the standard USMC voice commands for the ukranian team. i dont really mind them using the stock voices, but at least get the language right! overall, i enjoy it, but i dont think i'll be investing a lot of time in it unless there's a US server, or some people wana play it together.

Wow i was checking the USI server today and I think you were there.

[Tykwer]

heh, i was just as surprised as you and now even more so.

i did just edit my last post, but now i wana grab people's attention.

I just down loaded the battleship mod and all i got to say is EVERYONE DOWN LOAD IT AND COME PLAY NOW!!!! it's only 239 megs and so far it's quite enjoyable. i spawned for the first time into a large gun emplacement and nailed an enemy battleship at very close range and got four kills...followed shortly after by another lucky sinking shot on another boat.

what i had edited into the post above:
so...anyone want to play some of these mods with me? i'd be down with the battleship one, although i bet new guys are going to get OWNED by the people who have had practice. im still playing some OPK, but i dont know if i like it for what it is, or if it's because i like how i can kick so much ass on my first day of playing, but maybe there's a lot of new people like me? but if that was so, that would mean there was nearly no regular player base...hmmm.

hell, i'll even play brickfield when it comes out! it looks like you get a hoverboard
