Evolved from the Code Zero maps, DX WW2 War mod introduces drivable vehicles, regenerating health and high-quality AI bots. The mod offers "constant battle" regardless of how many players are online, the server hosts a constant battle between Axis and Allied forces. Our coder Poor has updated the Clyzm weapons, DXRV vehicles, smoke grenades and parachutes for multiplayer use, while introducing new vehicles and troops. New infolink messages occur now to include armoured warfare, falling to your death and being killed by bots. The mod features the work of six mappers, with seven maps so far being converted for driveable vehicles and bot battles. Currently locations include cities, towns, deserts, bunkers and in future the mod will include beaches, snow, jungles and "ostfront" maps with factories. The mod is very much in development but has been released to the WW2 Multiplayer Server in Deus Ex Multiplayer and is free for all to join.
Evolved from the Code Zero maps, DX WW2 WAR features new drivable vehicles, "constant battle" between bots and new features such as regenerating health. WW2 weapons include M1 Garand, MP44, Thompson, BAR, M61 grenade, smoke grenade, PPSH, ACP .45 pistol and of course TANKS! Players can also parachute when the opportunity arises.
The mod currently features 2 towns, 2 deserts, 2 cities and a bunker map. We are currently developing snow, beach, factory and jungle maps too.
The mod is ideal for 1-12 players, it can be fought with only one player in the server. The AI of the bots is the most advanced seen in fighting servers and offers a genuine challenge to any player.
All are welcome to try the open beta of this mod, all you need is a copy of Deus Ex 1, a broadband connection and the will to survive and fight!
Designed by Pedro at DXRV and updated with a server patch by Poor, to include a parachute release mechanism, this file sits in your Deus Ex system folder...
Incase if you didn't know, WW2 War would basically be saying war twice.
"War" refers to the gametype as we have various. Maybe we should have called it WW2 Bots.
Sounds like alot of fun, also good move for adding the AI :).
Is it possible for a Hardcore DX compatible version?
Hardcore is a great mod, people talk about hosting it all the time. I think in theory it would be possible, but it's a lot of work because there are completely different weapons. The other issue is that RPG bots are a new thing in DXMP. Currently in WW2 they just fight, but in other mods there are voice barks, conversations and bot developments since around 2009-10 that go beyond just fighting. People can now trade with bots. Since I am not a coder, it is probably best I ask this on the forums and see what people say and reply to you back here.
I'm wondering if the rest of the downloads can't be here
aww i got excited thinking it would have a singleplayer story line, good work tho i can see its modders like you that are keeping deus ex alive.
I'm willing to work on SP in the future. There are references to WW2 in the original Deus Ex, regarding the Bildeberg group and Illuminati. Also of course the Paris Catacombs bunkers are a WW2 structure. There are also locations that could have existed in WW2, like Cairo in IW.
Very Interesting!! :D
Great job, good to see DX modding continues to live on!
