Hi, this is sw33tsp0t. I Am Releasing the New Version 8.4, Along with the 8.3b Mini-patch, So you Can Patch it up to Date Right after the 8.2 Major Release Patch.
v8.3b
---------
-I Seen how the M16M203 Rifle was only one color, green-camo, So ive changed this. The
Green Camoflauge will be used on china-woodland maps vs USA, while a new Skin (Called Blufor)(Derived from COD4)
Will be in play on all USMC vs MEC Desert Climate maps.
Also included the Bleed effects to Work properly, And deleted 8.0.1, Combining this fix with 8.3b
v8.4
--------
Added Co-Op Gamemode to TWR. Now you Will Be Able to Play Co-Op With all the Settings Such as Bot Ratio Etc, For Co-Op Gameplay, Even with the 4 Different Gamemodes Included.
Note: When you Run the AI Bot Changer it Over-Rides the Bot Skill and Bot Count Settings. On the New Game-Mode.
Added Support for All Local Server-Ran Gamemodes.
Note: If you want to run a Co-Op Game-Mode, You can do so in any map version you want, this version of gameplay IS best for victory-type matches, because you can change the Bot-Ratio to whatever ratio you would Like. Making The Capture/Defend Part much Harder or Easier. Great for a Challenge.
Note, with this game mode (Co-Op) you MUST install the BF2 Default Server Settings file to be Able to Change The Values in the Options of the Game Mode. The Other Ones are for TWR Gameplay, Which still Can Be Used In these New Game Modes, Just not Without Bot Ratio/other Customizable Options. Best when used for Singleplayer Skirmishes.
The New Gamemodes that Are in the Mod are Located in Multiplayer Tab > Create Local . You can do Everything From Here, the Singleplayer Tab is for SP Skirmishes.
The Bot Changer over-rides Bot Skill/Bot Count, So when using that, do Not worry about what the Menu Options Say.
I Noticed this, it kind of sucks. I Cant write Proggies or do Much programming at all for that matter, which is why my Mods Stay Kind of 'Base' in thier setup. IF, you want to play with different Bot Ratio Settings, UN-CHECK The Serversettings.con READONLY Property in C:/Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Default. This will allow you to Change the Bot-Ratio for Easier/More Difficult Battles.
***Important Note***: When doing Co-op Game-Mode, Do Not Ever have more than 94 Players, that Being Ut-Most Max. When you Make the Bot Ratio 100% in Co-Op Options, it Caps at 48 Bots. So you Put 100% Bot Ratio, Attacking Team Will have 48 Bots, Never More. This is Hard-coded in Battlefield 2.
So, Imagine if you had 80 Bots lets say, 100% Bot Ratio would yeild the Attacking Team 48 Bots, And Leave the Defending Team with 32 bots. IF You Put 96 Bots, it would be an Even Battle (48 vs 48).
This is Best Used in Singleplayer Skirmishes Via the Game-Mode Installers/Bot Changer.
Also, if you had 0% Bot ratio, That would leave The Defending Team with 48 Bots, and the Remaining Amount on the Attacking Team. (Note, Ive Tried this, sometimes it only leaves the player on the side, try using 10% to 25% to 50% Bot Ratio. This works.)
Note: Looking for a Programmer to help the Mod :D.
Enjoy, sorry for the Confusion.

So what's actually new in this patch?
scroll down and read the + info on it sgt.r ;)
Hey, I have installed all the core and 4 map packs and sorted all the patches. But when I try to play a LAN coop game with my brother the teams aren't balanced and I don't get why. It seems to be balanced fine in a SP game just not coop. Any help would be great, thanks :D
That depends, how many bots are there?
yea thats because the coop has a bot ratio slider
you have to even it out to get the proper amount per team.
