[bf2 Mod] Nations At War

http://www.nations-at-war.com/

This looks a little interesting. They just released a new version. The snow map looks cool.

Looks good I'll give it a try

That does look pretty cool. I wonder if anyone is playing it?

Well, if they are, it is going to be the weekend of the release....

You have to download the map pack for this mod separately. They created a map pack that you can download it here:

Anyone had a chance to check it out?

Haven't checked it out yet. The map pack is being difficult. It is on a filefront personal page and it is really, really slow. Going to try and do the maps individually from the NAW site later.

don't bother with the mappack. Download the maps individually from here:

takes a while, but the downloads are much quicker.

Played this some tonight it is sort of like BF2 on roids. Kits are all mixed so that it is more like you are playing Medal of Honor or something. For instance I played a kit with the SCAR-L as the main weapon. I also had a shotgun, Eryx, mines, binoculars, a pistol, and a knife. AA is devastating as are the helos. They have modified all of the vehicles to some extent. Most seem faster and with more firepower. I only played two maps so I need to check this mod out some more. Saw one map that looked like it would essentially be a massive tank battle in woodlands (=fun) and want to try that one at least.

Overall I think it was fun.

hmmm I had a slightly different impression. Seemed all the vehicles were souped up. But to me the maps didn't seem to push people into battle. It may have been the lack of people. Also this seems to be a very "Vehicle based" mod, which most of you will know I hate. I only played maybe 4 maps, but I was less than impressed. I will say I am excited to see the city maps of this mod though. I will also note, I can't think of a mod that I liked right away, so maybe some adjustment is needed. I am excited to think there will be alot fo mods for BF2 soon.

Sorry to bail on you unexpectedly last night bubba. Said something in the squad VOIP, but I don't think you heard me.

For about half an hour before you came into the game last night we had been having a pretty nasty battle over that island flag on the Cat Island map. You caught the last few minutes of what was probably a 1/2 hour or so of infantry combat mixed with helos and the occassional APC.

On the other hand, the maps all are big - 64 player size so things do get spread out quite a bit.
