We decided to send out another general update to keep everyone informed as we inch closer to release.  First off ModDb is holding their Mod of the Year award again.

Although we have already released and soon will have another release, the dev team would love to know just how many out there will enjoy USI so go and cast your votes.

As we have mentioned before, the Frag Fest event planning is underway.  Like in the past, the dev team holds a closed beta named Frag Fest where other dev teams and news admins are invited to test and play.  We have 60 slots open that we wish to fill in order to truly test this build. The Frag Fest version will have only maps we have not released yet (9 to 10 maps). As of now the event will be on Saturday, December 17th from 8pm to 12am Est (GMT -5). This time was chosen in case players from the US and UK can join if needed. We have two weeks to fill the server. After week one if the server is not filled, we will invite Clans to play. The build should be available in the AM of the 16th or sooner.

Last but not least we have completed our vehicle content page as well as updated the levels page, and here are some more images to feast on, lol.

Hope everyone enjoyed this update as we will have more soon…

Hello all and welcome to yet another long awaited news update from USI. We are getting so close to release of USI 2.0. The build has been debugged and now we are running the maps through the debug process. Today we bring you the last item entered onto the battlefield.  Introducing the Laith-90 Frog-7 short-range ballistic missile launcher.  We know the texture is not quite complete, but we feel it’s good enough to throw into the game and play with it. There are a few items in game still needing touched up but we are determined to get this out soon.

USI 2.0 Status

Two weeks ago, USI 2.0 went into full testing to fix the remaining bugs found by testers in order to tighten the ropes for release. Project Reality has provided a dedicated beta server for testing and soon will start production on a couple of videos to show off our new and old stuff.  We are also updating our content page with new renders and screen shots so you can get a peek at our vehicles and weapons that will be seen in 2.0.  We are now calling out to all BF2 mod players to gear up for what could be our best release yet.

Here we are again with another update from the US Intervention mod team.  Progress is slow, however work still continues on map and gameplay fixes.  We are nearly 50% ready towards the next release.  We do not like the pace at which things are getting done, but work still continues.  After all, we owe our dedicated fans who have stuck around for so long, this great desert warfare mod.  Today we wish to show of 4 new items we have finished coding for USI 2.0.  These items were almost cut from the next build, but with a little help, we got them done.

We decided to aid the rescue and medical field by creating medivac versions of the UH-60 and MI-17 helicopters.  Pilots can land / pick up wounded soldiers and fly around out of harms way while soldiers heal up.  Then they can return to the frontline to drop em of for battle.  There are no weapons on these helos, so it is highly suggested that pilots get in and get out as quickly as possible.

We also added the BTR-50 and M548A1 Apcs.  We have had these for some time but never included them in any builds since we already have so many vehicles to play with.  So we figured “why not” and threw them in for all to enjoy.

Our AI codes has been getting some tweaks as well so that SP and Co-Op fanatics can still play if they can’t join any servers. SP will support 16 bots while Co-Op will have 32.  These settings can be changed to have more bots if the player decides to but it is not recommended for low end computers due to lag.  With the help from fellow mod members of Project Reality, our next update is due to show how we have added thermal imaging to some of our vehicles.  Only vehicles that actually used it in the 91 gulf war will have it tho.  Again to all those who still await our release, we thank you for your support and patience.
