US Intervention Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the US Intervention (http://usi.jarhedz.com/) mod website. They have a small update after a nice first release. Take a look:

First off all we would like to say that USI 0.1 release was a huge success thanks to you lads and ladies. Sure our download net could have been better, but it turned out that the torrent version was the best solution thanks to all the seeders. Big ups for them!

We would also like to thank all the response you left on our forums and various other, I think we even broke some records there. Thanks to all these suggestions, we could already setup a changelist for the coming patch. So rest assured, the sniper bug will be fixed!

Now, to make it easier for us to assimilate all the bugs you find and the suggestions you make, our forums have gone through a little change. Please follow this link (http://www.jarhedz.com/viewtopic.php?t=11208) for a short explanation of this reorganisation.

Thank you all for making USI the success we dreamed of!

Nice to hear about all the feedback they have received. Visit their site (http://usi.jarhedz.com/) to learn more.

PLEASE remove the hellfire missile from the chopper pilot, and give it back to the gunner! Being a gunner is so boring in the MOD (the gun is ****e, how about a lower fire rate but increased damage?)

Please please please!!!

I totally agree with this guy. I was playing USI today as a gunner and it was hella boring and there was no point being in there. Plus you shouldn't be forced to be in camera mode all the time - just keep it simple stupid! If you guys won't give hellfires to the gunner, then give us the option to have a normal view mode with a crosshair and beef up the gun for the gunner like it was in desert combat. You guys should also increase every weapons accuracy by at least 5x because BF2 accuracy blows goats.

I totally LOVE this mod, its so solid and its still only the first release!

I do agree with the chopper gunner position, its pretty useless right now and it needs beefing up alot. Also the sniper rifles, as you've already stated, need a big fix!

All in all I've already had lots of fun playing USI and plan on having so much more, well done! :cool:

I don't think there is any problems with gun accuracy if you know how to fire the weapons.

As for the helicopter gunner position, I think the problem lies more in the maps than the gunner armament.

It seems to me that the maps that have helos on them have distances between flags that make people travel in vehicles all the time (aside from that one map with the highway in it).

I guess it all depends on the people playing though. I was playing burning oilfields one time as a chopper pilot and the enemy team had a squad that was travelling around together in armor as engineers taking flags. Everytime I would tone on them with a laser, they would all jump out their vehicles and shoot their stingers at me. Once I got a gunner in the chopper with me it made killing those guys alot easier, and he was getting plenty of kills mowing them down when they hopped out.

If you have a good pilot being a gunner is awesome, you absolutely rape infantry and light vehicles.

Ya thanks for all that feedback everyone ;)


And hurry up finnishing that T55 and T62 !!!!
In the works, sir :cool:

I appreciate the effort it must take to get a MOD running. I have not enjoyed the gameplay for the most part. The fact that I have had new maps and such is what got me into many rounds of this MOD. IS there an actual update? Screw the sniper girls, who cares, lol. Why do I have to go to your site to read the update, isnt that what this is for?

I think the weapons sounds (that arent stock bf2) are strange. They are distorted and dont match the enviorment around you. Some sounds can be hard at incredible distances, and become confusing. The A10 nose gun sounds like its shooting pick up stick really fast, but the smoke is great.

Sitting in the middle of eastings, laying mines, hiding with your RPG, tank whoring, sound familiar?

I hope some updates do fix the gameplay and make it more fun for infantry. The Hind tends to lag too hard for me to enjoy.

I find most nights at prime time to see around 100 people total playing. Not much across that many servers. So far I just go to the FMJ server, since it ussualy has folks in there.

Just my 3 cents. There are some great things in this MOD, but the gameplay gets old really quick for me, and I neverplay more than two rounds. WIth more players and servers though, im sure I can find a game thats adminned and played well. Good luck, keep some updates comming and nevermind sleep, lol.

Yep, when you get a good pilot and use VO the gun its decent.. But that happens like 1/50 times! So pretty please give me my god damn TV guided missile :D!

yer gonna have to wait for more choppers.......The us army ah6 ah1-s/t and possibly the ah1-j to be introduced in the next major release, will have some cool toys for gunners to play with as well as pilots............this release basically offers a taste of USI style game play...............youll get your missiles back ......oh and so much more.............but with that will come some new aa challenges...... mu hu wa hahahaha.

the only thing i would say is lower the manueverability of the Apache. the hind is great. nice adn solid adn weighty. the apache tho feels like a little bird. fair enough it shouldnt feel as heavy as a Hind but Little Bird it aint

....

Maybe they are trying to lure people here to post on their boards and become an active part of their community if they are interested in the mod ;) Would be better for them to post about USI there than have it get lost in the jumble of mess and repeat posts that occur here ;)

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

IVfluids comes in with some common sense to save the day.

[MrGold]

I'll second that :)
