Welcome back to another update of your favorite Gulf War modification. As promised on twitter, we now have two new maps that have not been announced yet. And here we go. First off, there are two new screenshots of our new map, called Weapon Facility, which was made by our fellow modder and lead Mapping Artist [EoD]Junglist. You have already seen this map, but here are two small teasers for your pleasure:

Now, let’s go to the new additions to the mod. The first new map we would like to show you, is the well-known Kashan Desert from the Project Reality Mod. We thought we would need a bigger map where you can take our big bad baby, the B52 Stratofortress, for a ride. Now, you finally can do so.

The second new map in our pool will be Ar Rawdatayn Oilfield. Besides Kashan Desert, this is our largest map so far, and it has been created by BSS Dev TrueSpirit. This also is his second map for USI, and even though it’s large and open, it has some nice spots to hang out and wait for the enemy. This is our first map to feature our very own F-117A Nighthawk and the BTR-50 APC from IDF.

That’s it for this week’s pictures, but that’s not all. Guedoe has been playing with the BF2 engine and came up with something we have had planned for a while now: Let the environment come alive with our brand new Aircraft that fly over your head while you fight. We think they add alot to the gameplay atmosphere and really make the static map come alive. But watch the videos Guedoe recorded while testing his code. Please note that those things are still WIP or Work in Progress, so they are subject to change until release.

We hope you like our new stuff, until next time!

Hello everyone. We thought it was about time for another update on what’s going on behind the scenes. With BF2 patch 1.5 now being out and most mods requiring a compatibility update, we thought it would be a good idea to release a small hotfix for our fans so they can play US Intervention using BF2 1.5. As of now, USI 0.17 is not compatible with it, because some of our vehicles use mag sizes bigger than 1,000 and that doesn’t work too well with the 1.5 Patch.

Unfortunately, we have no idea when we will be releasing this small hotfix, but it shouldn’t take too long. The issues already are fixed and its really just a quick update to prevent the servers from crashing. Expect to hear from us regarding this subject pretty soon. But for now, let’s go on with this week’s update. Today we have some new map shots to show. The map we would like to present is new in the USI pool, and it’s called Insurgency. It was made by [EoD]Junglist, has been touched up by Guedoe and has some nice new gameplay elements in it. Of course, it also has full SP support.  You may also notice this map will have the Harrier from the Project Reality mod, modeled and textured by [R-DEV]Stigger and exported by [R-DEV]TrahnLee  More information on this beautiful asset later.

Please note that the pictures were taken in the editor so they are not available in the usual size and quality, but it should be enough to show you guys what this map is all about. You might spot some content that was not mentioned before, we will show you these in detail later on, so keep your eyes wide open for a new update on our website. See you guys soon.
