First...we should start with a Thursday Mod Talk! Why Thursday you ask...well because that is when the POE (Point of Existence www.pointofexistence.com ) updates their webpage with the latest info.....and lastly because today is Thursday and I have nothing better to do than to wait around from 9am to 12 noon to go home from teaching because we have a half day due to snow and I have no classes till last period (only 25mins...they should let me go!)....anyway...back to

THURSDAY MOD TALK!!!!

First off, there isn't a POE update YET....it is coming!

I would like to show 2 other MODs I am greatly awaiting!

First we have a return to the Jungles of Vietnam! The fog, the darkness, the screaming animals in the trees (In 42 I jumped the first time I walked into the jungle and had my speakers up high! SCARED THE BEJESUS out of me!!!!)....Can't forget the prisoner screamin for help as you left you base on route to the top of Hill 937 (I hope that was the map name!) Enough of the memories....here is the link...check it out and support it! They just released final versions of the mod for BF1942 and BFV a week or two ago...still have those games installed....give it a DL and give us some screenies!!!

The next MOD I am really excited about takes away to a far away galaxy that has nothing to due with tanks, planes, choppers, or sand! I am talking STAR WARS baby! Yeah...STAR WARS!!! This mod is looking good as well! I just love star wars so I had to throw it in here! I hope that I can be Chewie or Darth! There was a BF1942 Star Wars MOD called Galactic Conquest ( http://www.galactic-conquest.net/ ) it too was a great mod!

And my final MOD for now is based on the venerable Desert Combat. The team creating Desert Conflict is not the same team that created the original DC, but they are trying as best as they can to keep true to the original in the maps and vehicles. Their models are awesome and I can't wait to stick my head back into the sand, drop a few bombs curteousy of my Frogfoot, dog it out in No Fly Zone, and hopefully even some CTF Bridge or Al Nas style!!!!

I am definetly looking forwards to the upcoming mods. I am desperate for some new maps and weapons.

Once the good mods are released, will WiH shutdown one of the ranked servers for an unranked mod server?

Most likely since we just don't have enough resources to rent another server for the mod. The needs of the community is beginning to be much greater than the available resources. But the owners are trying to come up with more creative ways to generate more donations so that they can provide us all with more options.

Shattered Faith also looks good. There will be an online campain. This means that if team A defeats team B the next map would be diffrent from what would have happened if the ream B had beaten team A.

galactic conquest 1942 was hella fun :)

the landspeeders went crazy fast! you would die half the time just from crashing into stuff.

I'm really looking forward to a good mod - I've got my fingers crossed for pirates!!!

but seriously, I wonder if any mod will be the new "desert combat" for bf2? that mod absolutely made bf1942 twice as good. A feat not so easily matched with bf2.

Might be a dumb question but bare with me since BF2 is the first game I've ever gotten in to. Can you install a mod but still play normal BF2 on WiH?

-Is the mod like a totally different game meaning I'd click a seperate icon to play it?

Ahh Galactic Conquest.... I remembered when we were running their mod and a developer of theres came onto our server spewing crap from his mouth abusing our players. Then a mapper came on and started using an exploit that was in one of his maps to get insanely high scores....

I sure hope they've changed since then....

Yes

Yes, but it uses bf2 as its engine.

Thankfully the First Strike developers are not the same people.

When is POE supposed to be released? I downloaded NAW (Nations at War) and it's neat but the cars are too fast. The desert patrol vehicles have miniguns :yaya: , and there is a raptor four-wheeler.
