The date for the new event is Saturday, July 25th, 6:30pm (London time). If you do not live in europe and get confused by the timezones, we have created a countdown for you. Alternatively, the image below shows the countdown, no matter what timezone you are.

If you want to join, feel free to do so. It will take place on this server:

If you still need to download USI, you can do that on our download page. The latest public release is 0.17 and BF2 patch 1.41 is required. We hope that there will be as many players as possible and can’t wait to see each other. If you should encounter any problems during play or installation, sign up at our forums and let us know.

Hope to see you there

First off, we have taken an existing map and converted it for use in USI. It was made by imtheheadhunter from BFSP and now has found its way to USI, where [EoD]Junglist has made it compatible and changed a few details. But enough speaking, have fun with the images we have prepared for you.

The next map we would like to show you does not have a name yet, but Junglist temporarily has named it Weapon Facility. This is a new thing for us, as it will be our first woodland map! The map is set in the green woodlands of northern iraq, where the iraqi army has a big storage with alot of ordnance. Inserted by UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, the US troops have to advance to the facility and gain control over it. For this, we have given them a few M1A1 Abrams tanks, M2A2 Bradley IFVs and different light vehicles such as Humvees.

Map number three also does not have a name yet, but that won’t stop us from presenting it here! It was made by TrueSpirit, who originally came from XWW2 and joined us as a voluntary developer. The map consists of pure urban fight between US and iraqi forces. With some custom static objects added and recolored textures of original objects, the map adds a whole new feel to the battlefield.

*hint* Some of you might have spotted something cool on our website/forums. If not, either go look for it or wait until we post more info in a future update.  And that’s about it for today! Next time we want to show you the new Huds for the A10, the F16, J7, Su25, BRDM2 and some other nice things. We are looking forward to show you guys even more progress in the near future, so make sure you visit this site more frequently from now on.

First of all, our mapping guru [EoD] Junglist was able to finish up his map, so expect Silent City to be part of the next release. We also added a few new statics to it, so it’s not just all BF2. Even though we would like to add more custom statics, the fact that our modeling department is very weak nowadays won’t allow us to add that much new stuff. Another good news from the mapping department is that we have finally been able to fix the bugs that caused Road of Destruction to crash randomly while playing singleplayer and coop game modes. Thanks to the guys over at BFSP for helping us fixing this issue.

We have made a bunch of changes so far, which include but are not limited to: New kit layout, updated HUD graphics, three new weapons, as well as some improvements to infantry movement. The new changes go along with a pretty long list of bugfixes, and we are still working on even more fixes and ideas, so watch out for new updates here! Unfortunately, we have no idea if the announced OH-58D Kiowa Helicopter will make it into the release, since until now, we were not able to create a cockpit texture that matches the quality our mod is known for. Currently it’s just three developers that are working on the mod, so if you have any modding skills and would like to improve USI, apply for a position! If you would like to see additional fixes/features but you don’t have the modding skills it takes to join us, you can still help us by posting suggestions!

Last but not least, we want to share pictures of the three new weapons directly from the game. The first one is the M60, which will replace the M249 SAW, as we felt the M249 is way too new for 1991. Second and third weapons are the M14 and SKS Simonov, which are now the main weapons of the US and Iraqi engineers, respectively. M11-87 and Saiga shotguns have been moved to slot 2.
