Nice....I found a laser designator in this mod, I wonder how it works...cuz it's kind of useless with BOTS...

[Money Fist]

my bad
*mod please delete*

[KingFriday]

Sounds cool. Not sure about the jump height. Sure it will help against bunnies but ever get stuck going uphill? Sometimes sprint and jump is all that gets you up.

[Mateus]

I'd like to thank the mod team on creating a really successful mod, THIS is how BF2 should have been...
I love the sniper rifle noise, and the zooming (But still needs fixes)
I've made a list of bugs/improvments that I've found:

- Snipe rifle zooms once more after each shot

- It would be bettter if the scope stayed in the same zoom after loading another round (Like CS:S with the awp)

- You can hear a weapon firing 500m away with the same volume as if you're firing yourself (Doppler effect?)

- AT sub-machine gun has the sound of a heavy mounted machine gun

- Missing strings of text in the menu (Some are in German)

- Why do most kits have no grenades or pistols?

[Troopa-666]

"increased sprint time"? sounds awful, sprinting recharges to fast already

[DeathGiver]

Anyway you can make those new sounds work in regular BF2?

[C11.Nemisis]

is this a mod you can activate in the custom games tab and still haev regular battlefield 2 to switch between

[DeathGiver]

The way i activated it was from a shortcut in the BFE folder.

[HYBRiS]

"- Mines are now triggered by personnel and vehicles"
This is awfull!
What concept about vehicle mines vs troop mines didn't the mod team understand?
You can in fact jump on a live vehicle mine (I've done it myself) without it being triggered, since it needs a LOT more pressure to activate.

Yikes... u did this on purpose?

I have one question to all that play this mod. How many people are playing it?? In other words, is there alot of servers that offer this mod and are they full? I downloaded a GTA type of mod for the BF:V. I could only find 2 servers and there was literally 6 people playing it. One server only had 2 people ;/

[SB NBT]

Is this still the Frosty mod??????????? :confused:

[dBs]

This sounds pritty cool. Hopefully itll get some popularity and enough servers to keep it running =)

[HYBRiS]

Yikes... u did this on purpose?
They dared us to it in the army, to prove that it won't detonate from people just walking over it.

[Cerro]

Is this still the Frosty mod??????????? :confused:
It most certainly is.

I thought of that too.. a real vehicle mine usually needs more than 150 kg of pressure to detonate.

[Napalmas]

I don't know I think that the Project Reality mini-mod will be better.

[Cerro]

I don't know I think that the Project Reality mini-mod will be better.
... don't bet money on it!
Then again, it's all a matter of taste isn't it? :D

[[C22]Gump]

Where are the maps?

[Crunkulater]

Ok guys listen.

Extract the folder inside the zip file into your mods folder in BF:2.

Go to the levels folder and click on the copymap.bat file to get the maps loaded into the mod.

In the main folder thiers a shortcut to launch the mod, and your set.


WILL SOMEONE PLEASE PUT UP A SERVER I LIKE THIS MOD IT'S FUN! Thanks!.

[Coderedfox]

humm just crashes, right after the map loads. I'll keep looking into it

[5150 Joker]

And you were dumb enough to try? :confused:

[Garrison0586]

Jumping in Vanilla felt like you were on the moon. You can still get over most low objects. You cant jump ontop of a giant crate like you use to be able to.

- Snipe rifle zooms once more after each shot

We're working on fixing this. Will be fixed by next release.

as if you're firing yourself (Doppler effect?)

I'll remind Frosty mess with 3p sounds again.



- Why do most kits have no grenades or pistols?
Realism - Not everyone is issued a pistol and grenades.

"increased sprint time"? sounds awful, sprinting recharges to fast already
Yes but Sprinting was slowed down, and sprint recovery increased so it takes longer to regain stanima.

is this a mod you can activate in the custom games tab and still haev regular battlefield 2 to switch between
You place this mod in your mods folder and activate it in custom games or launch using the shortcut in the folder

Is this still the Frosty mod??????????? :confused:
Yes new name

This sounds pritty cool. Hopefully itll get some popularity and enough servers to keep it running =)
Currently there is an issue with Dedicated Servers running it... we are looking for advise from other teams.

I don't know I think that the Project Reality mini-mod will be better.
Maybe, Maybe not... Alls I know is that we have released this and have been working hand in hand with the community for a couple of weeks now.

[Crunkulater]

I'm liking what i see.


Here's what i like so far.

1. The new sounds are just fun and with the base up with my subwoofer they sound MUCH better then the one's from the original.

2. I like how thier is actually somewhat bullet drop. I'm guesing thier is but have not tested it, but the missle drop in the Helo's is awsome and put's some fun into flying them again.

3. Thanks for making the support gun usable!!! I can actually Hit! something now!

4. Thanks for making the guns more powerful!.

5. Thanks for evening out the kits. But i'm not sure why we don't have a pistol for those sticky situations :-/.

6. Thanks for making missles faster and hit harder.

7. No crosshairs, forcing peeps to use thier sights (Thank you).


Thinks I don't like.

1. If thiers no crosshairs on the mounted guns please give us sights.

2. 1 anti tank missle? At least make it 2.

3. The MP5 is still rather inacurate :-/.

4. I'm not liking the roller skate movement, it feels like i am on ice.

I know thiers more thinks that will come to mind but No one has a server up to play!.




SOMEONE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE A SERVER AND POST THE IP!.

[DoubleVee]

for some reason, USMC AT guys have only 1 missle, and MEC have 6!!

[666darkforce666]

what am I supposed to do to play the mod??? I already downloaded it but I dont know whats next :confused:

[solodude23]

Dammit Garrison......you were supposed to join the PR team. ;)

Nice mod though. I love the sounds and classes, as well as the adjusted weapon physics and loadouts. I suggest you make it so infantry dosn't set off AT mines though, to help realism. Most anti-tank mines require an applied pressure of 348.33 pounds to 745.16 pounds in order to detonate. I doubt your average soldier is that heavy.

what am I supposed to do to play the mod??? I already downloaded it but I dont know whats next :confused:
Go to your levels folder in the mod and doubleclick the icon there and wait. It copies the BF2 levels into that mod.

[RA::BuffaloSoldier[19k]]

:D I LOVE IT! :D It's...It's just so beautiful :cry: Thank you I can actully like you know kill ppl and stuff now. And also did frosty ever fix his server from the last patch????

[solodude23]

And you were dumb enough to try? :confused:
Theres no way it could have set off.

[TJYoung80234]

I'd like to work with the developers on this mod if they would allow me... as a former active duty (Infantry) Marine of 4 years I see A LOT of potential for this mod. There's just a few things that are in-accurate.

If someone would like to contact me on AIM: TJYoung80234

... I would be MORE than happy to be a military advisor for this, as well as run a dedicated server with this mod enabled (to include beta testing of course). Hopefully you might find some use for a partnership like this.

[Cerro]

TJYoung, check your PM please.

[TJYoung80234]

TJYoung, check your PM please.

Roger that... received and read. I'll see about getting MSN up and running.

[666darkforce666]

Go to your levels folder in the mod and doubleclick the icon there and wait. It copies the BF2 levels into that mod.

Ok and then what do I have to do to play the mod once im on bf2 menu

[TJYoung80234]

I picked up MSN in case someone needs to contact me:

TJYoung80234 (@hotmail.com)


To answer that latest question... the only way I got it to work was through singleplayer.

Garrison said they are working on making it flawless for dedicated which probably means not many servers are running it (I couldn't find one even with "Only Same Version" in my BF2 Server search).

[TJYoung80234]

1. If thiers no crosshairs on the mounted guns please give us sights.

2. 1 anti tank missle? At least make it 2.

Keep in mind although the M2 .50 cal for example has sights (front post)... NO Marine gunner uses it. A Machinegunner, which I was, I was forced to gauge distance and make an educated shot. So please... keep the mounted guns without crosshairs or sights.

I agree with the anti-tank ammo. Most gunners had the availability of at least 3 shots. However, this does force players to utilize their support gunner more (which those extra shots were carried by in combat).

MP-5 should be removed completely. Engineers did not get issued MP-5's. They were issued M16A2's.

I do VERY MUCH like this mod. I have but two complaints in the sound department:

-The M-4 (which is actually supposed to be an M16A4 used by Marines) sounds the same as the M16A2... same caliber (5.56mm). So those two sounds should be indenticle.

-The 50 cal should revert back to the original. That sound was close to how it actually sounds in real life... this one is FAR too quiet.

GREAT work though.

[Cerro]

Ok and then what do I have to do to play the mod once im on bf2 menu
You start it via the ms-dos-commandfile BFE.BAT that's located in ... \ea programs\battlefield 2\mods\bfe.06\
You can easily make a desktop shortcut to this file on your desktop.

OR, you could launch BF2, log in,
click on the COMMUNITY button,
click on the CUSTOM GAME button,
select bfe.06 in the list,
click on the ACTIVATE button,
BF2 will restart and go into BFE mode. (IF you've installed the mod correctly.)

Cerro

[666darkforce666]

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

[Cerro]

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
I take it that BFE now works for you? :D

[666darkforce666]

I take it that BFE now works for you? :D
yeah, I finally figured out how put it thanks to that info u gave me, and i loved it. thanks!!!!!!! :D

[Cerro]

You're welcome. Enjoy! That's an order. :laugh:

[Kevbaz]

any servers running this yet?

[TJYoung80234]

any servers running this yet?

I loaded up through BFE, and then filtered for "Same Version Only". I got 600+ servers to show up white text, but none of them seemed to be running the mod. I kept getting, "This server does not allow clientside mods. Please revert back to the original BF2 to play on this server.".

So PLEASE... if someone knows a server running this I would LOVE to know what they are. Perhaps the moderators here might be able to start a "Server IP's" thread and sticky it so people can view the various running servers or add their own?

[ivsft]

How can I combine this mod and the COOP mod so that they both will work?

[Janern007]

Mess with the best, die like the rest! :cool: :ar15:
