We've been sent some sad news today from -=Elvis=- regarding the Dawn Patrol and Surreal mods. Here's what he had to say:
I have some sad news to share from the mods of Big Kid Creations. Currently the mods have become inactive. With the team drifting away from modding and going onto bigger and better things. The mods are now closing down.
Hope comes for the future of the mods, Big Kid Creations goes on. CheeseONtoast is currently selling his home and buying a new one and planning on starting a business. So once his affairs are in order the mods may start back up again.
Sad to see these mods close down but we thank the modders behind them for all the work they have put in over the months. Good luck in the future you guys.

No Surreal 2? :cry: Man that mod looked sweet! Best to them, though. Know how RL can virtually make a mess of things!

It's not like people play mods anyway. I have Allied Intent 2, Desert Conflict CTF, Rising Conflicts, Nations at war, and Project Reality mods all installed. The only one with available servers to play on is Project Reality, and most of the servers for it are over 250 ping. There was only one server under 100 ping last night. When mods first come out people play them and there are upwards of 10 - 20 servers to play on. Most people that play mods aren't noobs though and since the majority of the BF2 community is obsessed about points and unlocks, these servers all die out. I just hope the same doesn't happen to Forgotten Hope 2, but it probably will. Hopefully it will have singleplayer ability.

This is sad news. Cheese, you and your mate were a great team. I hope you can be back when Battleracer 2142 is complete. Fantastic work on the Dawn Patrol mod you produced.
Hope to see you back on the modding scene. :(

It's attitudes like that that make it all worthwhile :rolleyes:
If there was just a little more optimism surrounding the creation of mods perhaps people would feel a little more inspired to create them... But no, some people have nothing better to say than stuff like this. anyway.... [/rant]
*holds silent vigil for surreal team
You shall be missed guys!

plus, a good mod makes my hardware last longer!
thanks to the modders for their effort and their products. surreal 2 (and team) will be missed; long live BF2:Pirates!; BF2:POE2; Battleracer2...etc.

I thought surreal was quite fun! great effort!
its a shame that every server I played on, there was a few immature jerks that exploited and ruined the fun...
hope you guys come back when things are settled and continue making these strange mods!

Many thanks guys for all the kind words, sadly I just havnt the time to devote to it anymore. Real World issues are a mess right now and I have to sort them and myself out. Once I'm sorted out I'll be around but just helping out other mods etc as a modeller or coder.
Surreal - Dawn Patrol - Anyone interested in taking over these can contact Myself or Elvis
Mod Content - I'm happy to allow other mods to use our content, you can use straight from the mods or contact us for max files etc. Subject to the usual restrictions of course.
