Wow, this is all looking really great. I don't think any other BF2 mods have even bothered to do much with the UI (other than colour swaps).

Also, are you thinking of implementing any of the fixes for vanilla BF2 listed here?

IGNORE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT.

I like what I'm seeing with this mod. I know you guys will be bringing back what was removed from the original Alpha of BF2, but I'm hoping you will improve other aspects as well!

I'm praying that you guys'll try to balance the vanilla game. I've been playing BF2 since it launched, but I really feel that a better sense of balance is probably the most important thing that BF2 needs! For example, jets (which may already be remedied with a laser designator for bomb use) dominate the battlefield as, really, the only way to take them down is with another jet -- anti-air tools on the ground are useless. I feel that there should be a circular or rock-paper-scissors type of gameplay im Battlefield. Tanks/APCs > Infantry. Choppers > Tanks/APCs. Jets > Choppers. Infantry & AA > Jets. Etc.

Also, weapons like the G36E or the L85 for the medic just ruin the strict roles that each of the classes should play. The medic really should not be the all-around go-to class to play. There's really no reason to go play as Assault or even Special Forces because, much of the time, their weapons don't compare AND they can't heal themselves.

The issue of throwing down numerous medic bags and getting full and instant heals while fighting someone is quite imbalanced. Perhaps a more BF2142 style medic system would work, where a thrown medpack (limited to 1) acts as a sort of healing beacon.

Lastly, getting that terrible fog out of most of the maps would improve the looks of BF2 immensely. In fact, I see this being done for the most part already! Great job!

Little fixes to things like these could make BF2, really, the perfect game (even more so than what it already is).

I'm hoping some of these things will make it into the Alpha project. Thoughts? TL;DR?

Also, I'm available to help out with models and textures if you don't have enough people on that already. :) Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more people on the team!

I'm hoping you guys'll try to balance the game, for example jets (which may already be remedied with a laser designator for bomb use), and weapons like the G36E for the medic (would be best to get rid of unlocks and just keep the default weapons) which just ruins the strict roles that the classes should have. These little fixes could make BF2, really, the perfect game (even more so than what it already is).

Changing max number of grenades in your inventory to lower grenade spam would be nice too along with lowering the default throwing distance.

Also, yes, I know people hate BC2 (and its players!) compared to BF2, but it still has one particularly good ideas (I've been playing BF2 since its release, so I didn't just jump on the Battlefield bandwagon). Making supply bags more like BC2 (where it refills normal ammo quickly, but things like rockets and grenades slower, etc.) is much more fair AND balanced than tossing 5 supply bags down and getting an instant refill of all your equipment. Same goes for medic bags, throwing down numerous medic bags and getting full and instant heals while fighting someone is quite imbalanced. Also, removing the medic bag healing aura (holding out medic bag to heal) and simply just relying on dropping the medic bag would be great might work out as well -- if that's possible to do in BF2 that is.

Lastly, getting that terrible fog out of most of the maps would improve the looks of BF2 immensely -- it'd make BF2 look like a whole new game.

I'm hoping some of these things will make it into the Alpha project. Thoughts?

This might be just the mod I was looking for. Basically an improved VANILLA Battlefield 2! I'm hoping you guys'll try to balance the game (i.e. jets, OP weapons, changing max number of grenades in your inventory to lower grenade spam, make supply dropboxes more like BC2 where it refills normal ammo quickly, but things like rockets and grenades slower, etc.) and get that terrible fog out of most of the maps.
