Can you bring it back?

I got the steam version and everything runs smooth. Now I can try to find someone who has the Russian version of this game, so we can add native voices.

I found out Hard Landing also gives me a crash due to "Exceeds 400 fx". Seems like I gotta get the Steam version to play this.

Non-steam version. Yes, I read the instructions.

Sadly v1.1 crashes with error message "Exceeds 400 fx", I will re-download and re-try again.

Awesome mod! I stumbled on this as I was actually checking if the AxisPlayer mod has made any progress. Now what you produced so far is a fever dream come to life! Truly amazing to see so many different enemies. Especially enjoyed Their Land, their blood a lot with its mix of Fallschirmjägers, Heer and Waffen SS infantry and Volkssturm.
The Mosin Nagant handed to you at the beginning by Reznov keeps floating in the air, just like it did in MasterJamesSP Elite mod. Fine by me. However, the Mosin Nagant you actually get is with no bayonet. The German dialogue at the beginning is surely not done by native speakers. This brings me to one of my suggestions: the German language version has re-recorded German dialogue. Albeit not used in game it is still in the game files. I extra bought it for this reason from Germany to extract these files. If you are interested, I could upload them to Dropbox or so for you to use.

Next, the death sounds in World at War feel to weak after I played Day of Infamy with the Brutal Death sounds mod. Total PTSD simulator if you hear Germans, Americans screaming in severe pain for their mothers and desperately for help. Check out YouTube to know what I am talking about.
Next. Suggestion also concerns sounds. There is a Russian language mod available for Call of Duty 2 which makes the Soviet Stalingrad campaign very immersive. Is there a Russian World at War version available? If so, one could make the Russians speak actual Russian. Japanese and Russian death moans could be taken from Red Orchestra 2. It always felt quite weird to see wounded Germans or Japanese who held their severed limbs, had a horrified face yet were all silent.
Another suggestion would be to bring the Victory Death Card experience to the single player. You know the Death Card obtainable inside the Reichstag? It limits the UI and thus makes it even more immersive.

Finally could you please increase the ammo drop of the weapons? It feels a bit shabby to switch to an MP40 after a few rounds fired from the PPSh in several levels.

The mod suffers from the same godlike AI as the 1.4 patch. AI can detect you through foliage and also inside foliage. Please fix this issue as it makes higher difficulties, especially realistic difficulty unplayable as all sneaking is invain that way.

I recently discovered this mod. I have the Dawn of War Maste Collection on Steam. I installed the latest version of the mod and there is no Tyranid faction available for choosing, neither me nor AI.

Upon checking the files installed correctly, however when I checked the Tyranid AI Control's properties I noticed the path was not the steam directory. It was D\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Dawn of War - Soulstorm.
Now D is my Blu Ray Drive, thus potentially several files were not installed correctly. Despite the installer .exe found the steam directory without any trouble.

Any ideas?

All my structures are plane white in texture. Can you give me a helping hand? Also does anybody know how to enable widescreen resolution?

Many thanks!

This is good news, as currently it's quite difficult to keep the base defended if those large SCUD or Topol Missiles are not shot down by the gatlings.

I know, the challenge maps would be a very sweet addition. Of course only if you can manage it. :)

Are you planing on releasing a patch again? Some new bugs have been added with the 1.2 patch. General Leang's Sentry Gun now no longer fires at enemy missiles. Are you also planning on getting the other bugs in General's challenge done? Several Generals are still misfiring the super weapons and their general abilities.

It would be extremely nice to see a General Fai map as well as a General Ironside map for the General's Challenge. :D

I have checked on the General's Challenge mode throughoutly. I know you said you will not fix errors in 1.2. I just noticed several bugs were added to the Challenge mode. General Tao does not fire a nuke in the cutscene at the beginning, leaving several tanks vanilla tanks alive. Maybe five minutes into the game he has a nuke with a timer of 2:50. Yet he does not fire it as it is ready. Also every next nuke he has starts with 0:00 on the timer. Yet he does not launch them.

Dr. Thrax is inredibly quick to send scourges, maybe it's just me but I feel the time has been shortened.

Are you experiencing this bug also? I really wish to see what Tol-in-Gaurhoth is like. But I need level 10 for Sauron in order to get that fortress.

I've been testing Mordor on 4.4 Demo, sadly every time Sauron reaches level 10 the game crashes fatally. Every other unit may be recruited but Sauron must not gain level 10.

System specs:
i7 6700k Skylake
16GB LPX RAM
1080 GTX Palit

I use the launcher, but each time I attempt to start the mod, I get a black screen which I can only kill with ctrl alt del. Can anyone please give some advice? Many thanks!

RJ what exactly is keeping you from continuing the modification? Sure it's not such a large project as Edain but personally I love your additions very much. Consider taking up the mod again and make some more progress. :)

I'm really looking forward to this since I decided to play BFME2 again with a new machine in 4K resolution. Keep up the excellent work mate!

I want to play this mod in 4k resolution. Yet the UI is tiny then, is there a chance to increase the size of the UI?

Many thanks!

When playing with the Ostheer I noticed several bugs:

* The Famo could not recover enemy tanks nor my own panzers or those of my allies.
* The Panzernest couldn't be upgraded with an mg, nor upgraded to an aid station
* The concrete emplacement's upgrade to an aidstation does not return units back to the battlefield and every time it "empties" I got the message "We have lost a unit!"
* The Ju88 bomber strike is just one bomber coming in and it wasn't able to destroy an SU-152, is that normal?
* Soviet infantry was not suppressed by the MG34 at all and kept swarming in even as 2-3 MG34 teams fired at them
* Soviet Command Squads survive encounters with several Landser squads without any damage, killing all the Germans in return. Just by numbers the Soviets need to lose if you send 4-5 Landser against them.

And something I wish you would change in general is this stupid charging forward of infantry when you order them to attack. A Panzerschreck has a certain range and you definitely do NOT need to jump at the enemy and step on their toes to attack them. Stop that, no one except complete morons do that. One exception though, if closing the distance with the enemy is used for powerful melee combat attacks, then yes, but this rushing up and standing 10cm away from the enemy is pathetic.

Hey Wesley,

how are things? I am still desperately waiting for a fixed/updated version of your Axis Player modification. Like I mentioned in a comment several months ago, I do not care about flags or voices.

If the sniper rifle cannot be changed without getting clipping issues, then just leave the Nagant rifle in. Germans used enemy weapons anyways.

This is the list I made several months ago:
* Allied soldiers die silently - use German deathscreams sounds for them
* Axis ammo on all weapon needs to be highly increased (both max and drop)
* Tank level needs Axis tanks for players and enemy T-34
* Allies need Flamethrower soldiers in Pacific Campaign
* Axis player models in Pacific are US Marines - make them Japanese
* Allies (both Campaigns) don't look burnt after flame attack.

the only new thing is that the 1st person arms might be nice if they could be changed to German and Japanese. If it doesn't work or at least is not easy, scrap it and just do the list above, they are the things needed most. :D

Me and my friends are still waiting and hoping to see V1.2 come to life soon.

Are you interested in 1.1 walk throughs on hard difficulty in 1080p Full HD?
Check these playlists out:

General Townes: Youtube.com

More coming soon.

the Karabiner Scoped is bugged, you can cheat and open the console typing in "give all", resulting in you having any weapon available in the game. Go to the Nagant Scoped or if you feel for a challenge just use one of the unscoped bolt-action rifles.

That is the only way to "solve" it at the moment.

So, Cpt. how are things with you? Last update is about 5-6 months old.
I was wondering what happens to this mod.
I made a list of the (in my eyes) most prominent things which need changing:
* Allied soldiers die silently - use German deathscreams sounds for them
* Axis ammo on all weapon needs to be highly increased (both max and drop)
* Tank level needs Axis tanks for players and enemy T-34
* Allies need Flamethrower soldiers in Pacific Campaign
* Axis player models in Pacific are US Marines - make them Japanese
* Allies (both Campaigns) don't look burnt after flame attack.

I don't care if flags or voice overs can't be changed. Those I listed above are the most important in my eyes.

While we are waiting for a new update by CptWesley, Call of Duty 2 Axis Mod videos:

Youtube.com

I found this on youtube and I noticed they have even added subtitles, so non-German speaking persons can understand! I have subscribed to the channel at once! You should do so too as they surely going to upload an entire walkthrough with this mod! Don't wanna miss it!

Can you make the Allied infantry use the German death screams? Red Army soldiers and US Marines often die very silently. :(
I'd expect them to scream if you burn them with the flamethrower or blow them to pieces with grenades or simply shoot them up. Can you change that?

*I have seen that you decided to rename the characters, I do not really like the idea of Reznov and Chernov being part of a Waffen division, can't they just be Wehrmacht? I download a Wehrmacht officer skin from filefront and it looks amazing. The black tunic doesn't look that good in my eyes. That's just my opinion. Also I'd like to be fighting in the normal German Army.

*I also noticed that you have done a great progress with the Japanese/Pacific campaign. I really enjoyed the video update you posted there, just wish it was already released.
Same about the Communist Zombies, it looks awesome but it's kinda sad it is also not yet released.
*Please also increase the maximum ammo in Zombies. MP40 ammo chews up way too fast. :(

I know that you have other duties in your life also and I'm already very happy that you are doing this mod for FREE. :D
Is there any chance that you will release a new version of the Axis player soon? Maybe for Christmas holidays or New Year?

Would be awesome!

Keep up the excellent work! :D

*Can you make the Red Army soldiers have bayonets on the rifles?

*Can you make the Red Army soldiers use Molotov cocktails against you?

*Can you make the US Army use flamethrowers against you?

Hello everyone,

I've been playing this mod since the very beginning but never found time to write something here.

I'm very pleased with the experience the mod gave me but I'd like to make a few suggestions:

*please increase the max ammo and the max ammo dropped of ALL axis weapons as it is quite annoying to wait for one of your team mates to die to get a few rounds for your MP40. It would be nice if you could increase the ammo dropped, so you get let's say 100 rounds from one MP40 rather than just 30 or even less, also increase the max ammo you can have to let's say 32 +320, which is one in the gun and 10 magazines in the pouch. That's still realistic and it gives you a lot more ammo to waste the Russians.
Please do the same for ALL Axis weapons. I don't want to wait or even kill my team mates for more ammo. I do not feel like always taking up a PPSh41.
Same in the Japanese Campaign, I like my Type100 and do wish to keep it and not exchange it for a Thompson.
