The team behind the BattleGroup Frontlines (http://www.bgfmod.com/) mod is back today with update number 11. This time around they have some new player models to show. Take a look:

The German word “Landser” comes from “Landsknecht”, a mercenary soldier in the 15th and 16th century. It’s normally used to describe a common soldier. There were many different uniforms and equipments released by the Wehrmacht throughout World War Two but the general look always remained the same. The uniform colour, except for the Waffen-SS and late war Heer units, was field grey and the typical German M35 helmet was used for the whole war.

The BGF Wehrmacht soldier wears a M43 uniform model and of course the M35 helmet. As standard equipment he carries 6 ammunition pockets (each contains 5 rounds), the gas mask M30 in a round tin can, a spade, a camouflage tarpaulin (of which four were needed to build a tent), a satchel for personal goods, a bag and a water bottle.

I joined this site just to tell you that those are the most realistic player models I have seen, for ANY game, in a long time!

Excellent work guys! The bump maps, the texturing, the detailing in the face and tools, the jacket lapels, the boots; it's just amazing!

Thank you! I look forward to your mod!

The modelling is very nice, but the neck to crotch distance is off, he's out of proportion, ie. main torso is too long. He looks like he needs to hike his pants up quite a bit.

Other than that he looks good. :)

Looks in proportion to me, but hey, you're probably more likely to notice than me :)

It still looks very very nice though, a great update.

His proportions are exactly as they should be.
He looks like he needs to hike his pants up quite a bit.
That's because his pants are baggy. They were modeled that way because they were worn that way.

Very nice indeed, more realistic than FH2.

I'm not talking about the bagginess in the legs, i'm talking about how low the crotch of his pants is sitting. take a straight frontal shot and compare it with a real man, noone in the 1940's wore their pants that low, I doubt is balls are that big :p

very nice model and skin!

I would like to see both FH and BGF playermodels ingame. Now every mod has his own type of rendering. The real impression is to be found ingame!

Wow...

The most realistic model and texture i have ever seen for a playermodel.

Those look great good job guys, and the proportions like fine to me pants and all, but I guess other mod makers like to nitpick.

I would really like to see them ingame though.

Really nice looking models, but we need to see ingame shots! That goes for all mods!

All I got to say is Wow, Amazing, I think they look fine, I don't think anyone would really notice the pants or anything ingame...

But get used to looking at these pics alot, cause the BF2 engine will just ruin the normal mapping, hell the BF2 engine makes everything look like crap...:(

looks great, the bg42 mod was the first bf1942 mod i ever played, and i would love to see the same kind of arcadish gameplay in bf2 (not 1 shot kill, enjoyable tank speed). the only bad thing is that i dont know if my computer can hold both this and fh2

Great player models guys, awesome job, keep it up.

I didn't get a chance to play much BG b4 it kind of died down but I thought they had some nice atmosphere in their maps I only wished for a little more realism in regards to the vehicles.

Anyhow great job guys.
