Battlegroup-Frontlines Release!!!!!

Battlegroup-Frontlines wrote:BATTLEGROUP BLITZKRIEG!!

It is with great pleasure that the Battlegroup-Frontlines team can confirm that we are releasing this week, and announce that the release will take place at 2000GMT (H-Hour) on Friday. At that time the various hosting and mirror sites will open up links for you to download the full install of BGF V1.0. In advance of that, by Thursday we will make available a server build so that server admins can get their servers up and running in time for the release.

We have also prepared a passwort-protected BitTorrent source so that you can get the release through peer-to-peer FROM NOW ON. We will release the BitTorrent password on our site at H-Hour. You will only need to unpack it then and install the mod to quickly join the server.

The link for the client-file is:

Click here to download

We are pleased to say we have had many contacts from server owners who wish to run BGF on its release. Where the server owners also give us the IP, name and location of the server we will use this information to compile a list of servers which will be running on release and the details will be included in the release news.

The Panzers are rolling - and they`ll be here soon!

🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

As you may have guessed I am excited about this. It was my favorite Battlefiel 42 mod and I am hoping that the BF2 version lives up to it's predecessor.

Woohoo!!!!

Friday Night Fights?

most definitely.

Sweet!
I should have it soon and I'll put the file on my FTP site for easy downloading!

Will post more info later...


Judge

Dling the torrent... Need to install BF2 again... dammit

DLing now....

YEA! Got the new PC today. First thing is install BF2 then download the torrent... er both at the same time I dunno.. hehehe

💀 Here is my FTP site...

The download should be faster then BT because I have FIOS! 💀

Thanks Judge!

Here's a link to the Battlegroup Frontlines User guide

http://files.filefront.com/BGF+User+Guidep...;/fileinfo.html

Here's the most critical part of it, the rest is the detailed info and history of the individual vehicles/aircraft/stationary weapons which is interesting but not critical to game play.

BGF Manual wrote:There are many features unique to the Battlegroup-Frontlines mod. For those not familiar with it, here are some of the main ones:

1) Vehicles can only be entered at particular points close to their real-life door and hatch
positions, for example they can’t be entered from the rear, so typically aircraft are entered at
the left side of the cockpit and tanks at the front driver’s position (you might need to jump up
to get close enough).

2) Tanks are directly controlled by one person, who is both driver and gunner, but there are
separate driving and gunning viewpoints. Use the open driver’s visor for driving and the
gunsight for aiming, using the F key to switch between them.

3) Most tanks have additional player positions, for example for the front hull machine-gun and,
on Soviet heavy tanks, the turret rear machine-gun. Some have additional positions, such as
seated infantry positions on the back of the T-34 and the turret front machine-gun on the
BT-7A.

4) Tanks have different ammunition types, select between them the same way as selecting
between your infantry weapons. The main abbreviations to be aware of are HE (high
explosive) for use against infantry and lightly armoured vehicles, and AP (armour piercing)
for use against tanks and other armoured vehicles.

5) There are many stationary weapons ingame, not just machine guns but also anti-tank guns.
Anti-tank guns are controlled not with the mouse but with the movement keys (usually W, A,
S, D). Like tanks, anti-tank guns have a gunsight selectable via the F key.

Thanks Judge! I get 180KB/sec 2 hour download -- But who cares! I have things to do, so when I get back it will be done! FnF here I come 🔫

GRB gonna run a server?

No we aren't going to run a server, however I think our buds from =VF= are going to run it on their BF2 mod server so keep an eye out for it. Otherwise we'll have to go pubbing.

=VF=Bar&Grill BF2 Mod server: 209.130.203.110:16567

Jump in TS with us Varg. That way, we can make sure you are able to play on the server.

I am actually excited to play BF2... imagine that

I'm excited to play a WWII game again!

I miss the WWII games... haven't driven a panzer or crashed a stuka in a while

I hope that their stuka is a two-seater - we'll have to practice the stuka swoop just for fun 😀

The B&G is runnin it now.

Extracting now.....

Yeah well yall have fun it jacked up my audio and had to do a system restore to fix it. So I'm not installing it again.

i'm upset. I had all the stuff downloaded but left the files where i do not have them. Little upset about that. Re-download to my PC will last into the night so i will not be able to jump on tonight. You guys better be playing this again soon. I can't wait to jump in.

Should've used my FTP server...I bet it would have been faster!

I had all the files including the patches for bf2 on my portable USB drive and left it over at my parents. I started to redownload and it would have been after midnight before i got to install.

Grab it again. I imagine we will play it some more.

Sarge, Bubba and I played it last night for a bit. We had a blast. There are some maps that are really good, even with the slow tanks.

Yeah last night we found some really cool maps... and I went on a short killing spree that included atomm twice and sarge once and a bunch o other guys
