Hello, and welcome to Israeli Defense Force: Fight for Independence, a Total Conversion modification for the PC game Battlefield 2.
What we aim to achieve with this mod is to immerse the player into the historic wars involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, which are the 6-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War. The player will be able to play as a common soldier, crewmember, or pilot in these wars. The mod will feature historically accurate equipment such as the famous Russian AK-47, the fearsome SO-4050 bomber, the menacing IS3 and M48 tanks, and much, much more. Also, the maps will recreate actual battles that happened in these wars, to complete a historically accurate and immersive modification. IDF:FFI is also a member of the acclaimed cooperative gaming studio Black Sand Studios.
As we all know, that period in the region was one of the most politically sensitive times ever. Many innocent people had lost their lives at that time. Some may look at our modification name and think that we are biased towards the Israeli side. That is not true, at all. As a team, we do not intend to talk politics or choose sides, but portray, in video game form, the battles that happened.
To reach these goals we always looking for nice fans, who would like to apply as a developer or beta tester. Keep an eye on the forums to see the progress of the mod.
Also, please visit our Facebook Page for exclusive updates and extra information.

We are happy to announce that after many years of development, IDF - Fight For Independence: V0.20 Beta 2 is ready for release! Please go to the download article for instructions on how to download and play the beta.
A major component of this beta version is the addition of the Jordanian Armed forces and the PLO army. Both new factions have a full compliment of unique vehicles and weapons. We added many maps depicting the Black September battles that were fought between Jordan and the PLO and also Syria. These battles are unique in that it involved Arab fighting against Arab and also that many of the battles took place in urban areas.
Another new feature of this beta is naval battles! We have a full compliment of naval vessels for the Egyptian and Israeli navies. We have a few naval battle maps. These maps are still a work in progress but they turned out really well so far and are very fun to play!
We also have a beta map pack that includes 30 maps with SP/COOP support!! Again please go to the download article to download the beta and the map pack.
We are looking for your feedback with the beta. This will help to improve the final release. So please send us your feedback about bugs and other things we can improve on. Thank you and enjoy

I have a problem, I can't find the mod launcher, only the IDF Windowed, the resolution is bugged and I can't access the settings to fix it. Do you have any guesses?
Whoops sorry about that. You can try mod launchers. I have used a couple of different ones. Here is one that should work.

Hello, this mod is awesome, weapon animations and vehicles are well made. Can you or someone host an online server? Is there a discord for this mod where we can discuss features and organize multiplayer events related to this mod? Thanks in advance, cheers.
I would need help with that. That is beyond my abilities. The focus currently is the create maps and content that work in SP/COOP with bots.
are there plans to make it standalone ?
by the way, when i activated the mod i noticed alot of the content was missing except for the weapon ranges, and also when i tried to press play it shut down immediately
If we can figure out how to make it stand alone yes we will do that.
You have to also download and install the mappack.
sorry for responding late but thanks for the answer,
i mentioned before that sometimes when i play on maps it crashes, other times it doesn't, and as for weapon classes/kits i wonder if we can change them to alternate weapons or are they stuck specific to each time frame ('67-'73)
either way i really like your IDF mod! :D
even if the hardcoded BF2 AI makes it hard to play it's still fun!
Thanks, glad you are enjoying our mod. If you would to send me a message here mod db that would be great. We are always looking for feedback.
Hello, I really like your mod. Is there an approximate release date for the full version?
No date yet. Working on the last batch of maps for the new release. Plus fixing bugs and adding some new things.
