This modification aims to add a new experience to Battlefield 2. By balancing arcade and realism, we hope to create a new semi-arcadish and semi-realistic gameplay. Note 1: Requires BF2: SF and BF2 1.5 Note 2: Don't download with Desura! Note 3: Geometries and Textures MUST be set to High!
good mod!!!
A great mod with tons of potential, it just needs some tweaks and more content.
Pros: Interesting Weapons, Great Effects Has bullet Drop like in bf3 and bf4 Great Map details Good Vehicle Combat,Great Soldier Skins.
Cons:Has few maps, Crashes sometimes in the middle of the game,maps that have uncapturable bases will cause the game not to end because the tickets will always comeback again and again.
Overall:This mod is great because it balances arcade and realism
Hi awesome game i hope ppl will play multiplayer !
Apart from the obvious fact it is not released yet, it looks very solid, don't know why it has such low rating so i'll give it a boost
Its good.
A pile of garbage packed into a so called "mod"
Review Updated as of June 2021
Good Parts:
1. Vehicles – Props where props are due, the custom vehicles are fun to play, especially the APC’s and the Tanks. Some positive mechanics from Battlefield 4 like switching to different types of ammunition are quite decent. Except from that damn machine-gun. You literally have to guess where that thing fires, it’s horribly bad. There are also custom infantry vehicles, as well as some modified vanilla stuff, like that Humvee.
2. Teams – Let’s not forget about the teams seen in this mod. There is a decent amount of custom teams in Final War, but sadly I can’t understand which is friend or foe. They look nearly the same. But the models are quite decent, so I consider that a point.
3. Weapons – This part can be considered bad and good at the same time. Some models and animations are really nice and sweet. Personally loved playing with that Russian RPK-74M and AK-103, lovely sounds and reloading animations. But there are trashfires like M4A1 which can’t fire beyond 15 meters, the MP7 with weird glitched animation, and of course, the sniper that needs about 5 shots to take down an enemy. There is potential in these guns, but it’s clearly seen that there wasn’t enough polish on most of these. Furthermore, some Battlefield 3 and 4 assets can be seen, and you already know my position when it comes to this matter.
Bad Parts:
1. Broken Maps – All maps seen in this mod are basically broken. On some, when you fire the gun, the building turns black for some milliseconds. For others, the grass and earth underneath players and vehicles turns bright white from black. And don’t get me started with that Site 31/6 trashfire, with literal black buildings and white spots everywhere. Not even one map has normal gameplay when it comes to lighting, there is always a catch. Vacant map is literally unplayable without Night-Vision goggles, thankfully those are working fine.
2. Interface – The user interface is the biggest pile of dog**** I’ve seen in my life. This was my first ever time to be confused by a damn minimap, it can’t even work properly. If you spawn at the far end of the map, you won’t even be displayed in that damn thing. Even more insult to injury, when you open the big-map, there is a grid that get’s in the way when looking for the thing you desire. Vehicles HUD is pure garbage, literally 70% of the screen is fat text covering the targets you want to find. Man I remember suffering with that machine-gun from tanks and APC’s, trying to hit at least one target. Eventually I gave up and started spraying and praying to get someone down. Let’s not forget about health and sprint bars, it won’t even show you what’s happening with your health and stamina. Also that really bright text trying to copy Battlefield 4 is really ugly, and get’s lost in the weather. If you looked into the sky, that killfeed blends with it and disappears. Also, the cannon CPNAME_blablabla that is 100% guaranteed in this mod.
3. Teams Balance – If you want to have some fun in Final War, please leave your emotions by the door. Some locations have decent balance, and you can have some good time on them. But there is always that CP_Abadan type of location where everything is absolutely awful when it comes to that primordial mechanic. The enemy team has 8 tanks and APC’s, while the losers get garbage tier DPV’s and Humvees with LMG’s. Yeah man, good luck on your survival mission, you definitely need that. Furthermore, the developers didn’t even care to change vehicles for respective factions, Iranian team flying around with an AH-1Z Viper. Sometimes I wonder if they even tried to make a playable experience.
4. Insane Bots – When you have about 1 or 2 working weapons in a project, fighting enemies becomes a real pain in the ***. But what if I told you, the difficulty of AI in this mod is so high, you can barely move a muscle without being instantly destroyed by LMG’s from the other side of the map. Even more fun is when tanks snipe you across the large fields, like they have a telescope dedicated to finding your trash through smallest things. This creates a really frustrating experience, especially on maps with unbalanced team armament.
5. Sounds – Last and not least, the sounds and music. While it’s great to have an immersive experience in on the battlefield with realistic sounds, it’s not great to hear gunshots from 50 kilometers away and feel like someone was shooting it right behind your back. And that applies to helicopters as well, creating an obnoxious experience while playing it.
Final Mark: 3/10
