Battlefield 2 invades the high-tech frontlines of modern warfare. The game brings the intensity and excitement of Battlefield 1942 into the modern era with enhanced team play and the latest, most technologically advanced vehicles and weapons systems available to man.
Apart from the astonish landscape, the main interest of this infantry version of the mountains map, is to have available the Z axis as additional tactical constraint, which is only too rarely observed in other maps.It is recommended to fill the map with, at least, 32 bots / players for dynamic gameplay !
Hello guys,
The MountainsInfantry map, shown here is a "ground" version of the huge MountainsDogfight map, which I refer you to, for more information.
As the name suggests, it is the infantry mode which is privileged, here, even if two helicopters are available for the overflight:
the zone of play is limited to a perimeter around a village but gives enough the feeling of combat specific to mountainous environments; grandiose landscape, element of tactical Z axis that we meet too rarely on vanilla maps. In solo/coop modes, it is strongly recommended to use a minimum of 32 bots for an animated gameplay.
And, given the density of objects in the map (many trees), as well as the use of AI, having a CPU and a not too old GPU, will be an advantage.
Note,; in the two videos accompanying the presentation, you can hear the sound of distant fights; this soundtrack is an add that does not exist in the map but can be downloaded here:
- For installation:
simply unzip the MountainsInfantry.rar file where you want ; download folder, for example:
then, if you are using a 32-bit computer, move the MountainsInfantry folder to
C: \ Program Files \ EA GAMES \ Battlefield 2 \ mods \ bf2 \ Levels \ MountainsInfantry
on the other hand, if you are using a 64-bit computer, move the MountainsInfantry folder to
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ EA GAMES \ Battlefield 2 \ mods \ bf2 \ Levels \ MountainsInfantry
have fun;
and do not hesitate to tell me what you think; it's precisely because some of you did it, that I decided to create this map!
Ugly stupid trees I still growing up my HD tree library but I will handle those abominations! Most impressive map I've saw and I'm very picky for maps heheeh very nicely done!
Played and tested :D here are some pros and cons: Good layout, good texture, gameplay wise is quite balanced surprisingly. Cons are not much, only slight fps drop and 2 random crashes out of 18 games. The US side took slightly longer time than China to capture their first flag but overall its a 10/10 map :)
Aaaah!! thank you for your appreciation, Blue_Spirit!
With regard to the fall of fps, this is due to the many objects/trees, as well as the important use of AI, which consumes a lot of CPU time: fewer bots can solve the problem; but then, to complete, you have to find some friends for a lan party:...Hi, hi !
Awesome landscape! Never imagined bf2 could run a map like this!
By the way, for "ran out of memory" or unstable fps, compressing all Colormaps to DXT1 with mipmaps may solve the problem(fps increased from 30 to 45 on my AMD R5 2GB card). But this way BF2Editor may not be able to read the compressed colormaps so only do so if you cannot run the map ingame.
To compress, download NVIDIA DDS Utilities from NVIDIA website and run the following command in Windows console:
"(path\to\nvdxt.exe)" -file "(mod path)\Levels\MountainsInfantry\Colormaps\*.dds" -dxt1 -outsamedir -overwrite
Note that this command may overwrite all Colormaps so make sure to backup.
Hey guys, in the mountains, good gameplay is a very unbalanced gameplay; for example, fight in the Chinese faction with 31 bots, and let the faction Us go up to the assault of your positions, with 76 bots: and to complete the atmosphere, listen to this in the background....https://youtu.be/GCvLiDkjQTc
I'd not actually installed the map when I last posted, I was just awe struck by the look of the map. We definitely need more of these maps. I would love to know how you've created the skins for the mountains. It's one of those areas of BF2 that has never looked pretty. If you could post a tutorial on how to do this (maybe you have) I would love to create some maps with this look. we could create scenarios from conflicts all over the world. Would be brilliant. Thanks for creating this map. It's amazing.
I've been thinking of finally having a go at creating some maps myself. and would love to know how to do this as it makes the maps look so much better.
Hello; creating this kind of map is not an easy exercise: it is only for people with strong knowledge of modding; that's the reason why there are almost no map like this one: tell me, what experience did you have with Bfeditor?
Whaaat? That's awesome, man!! D:
Ooooh, Frosty! you're too fast: barely uploaded, I did not even finish the presentation; lol; Tell me when you've try the map! Ok?
Oh, I surely will! What you do with the BF2 mapping is just incredible.
its amazing :D
Very nice, thank you for your hard work!
Wow, a new map! thank you!
I hope the map works well for you: thank you all for your kind comments
Awesome mapping!
Keep your good work, cataly!
sh*tttt... I've got "... ran out of memory" error message...
indeed, this map is too goddamn cool! seriously.
sorry for you, Mohammed ! at home, the map works even with windows Xpsp2, 32 bits and 4 gb of ram; I hope that eventually, it will work out ....
It's okay :)
Maybe my vga card can't handle the map textures...
Wow,that looks sick man :O
Props to you for the release :D
Haven't played your dogfight map but you just made me want to do it, nice work :)
good idea, Ismoleboss;
and good flight, then !
地图做的不错....
非常感谢你
You added the detail texture? amazing!! do you mind if I add some HD rework and add it to remastered?
Ugly stupid trees I still growing up my HD tree library but I will handle those abominations! Most impressive map I've saw and I'm very picky for maps heheeh very nicely done!
Hello B4RR3L: I would be curious to see what you can do with this map: for my part, I will not go further in details! Be nice, keep me informed! thx
Whoa, this must've taken alot of time to decorate xD
Awesome work for this one :)
Amazing work! One of the Best Maps in Battlefield 2 ever made!
Reminds me Monte Grappa from BF1 hehe :3
