See you, Martin a.k.a MCh2207Cz
It all sounds really good, nice work!
I only have one note, isn't the Du Hoc rescuer Sgt. Randall? He is definately not a medic.
Nope, that is not him.
That guy just accidentaly got the same skin as Randall's.
he used to be Sgt.Randall in original cod2. but I changed him into generic medic because it makes more sence.
That's nice.
The De Lisle has faulty melee and reloading animations. Will it be fixed? I mean the De Lisle was a magazine loaded weapon, so the realoading animation like Mosin's of Garand's does not fit...
Anyway it's really nice to see some update! This is one of the best mods I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!
melee anim for De Lisle is a placeholder so it will be corrected into regular bashing.
but the reloading is ok. you just don't see the magazine change because it is under the screen. if you change your cg_fov value to larger number you can see it happening.
magazine reload video here: Moddb.com
Indeed! Thank you. :)
Wish the LoD distance would be increased by default. It's kind of annoying to go into devmode every time you want to change r_lodbias 0 to -1000. Also, some blood and gore also wouldn't hurt, would it?
if you listed models that bugs you i can do something about it.
P.S. all games are using it. you just dont see it.
Pretty much all of them. And I don't mean like a model popping into view a hundred meters away, I could be only a meter or so away from a low poly model and it'll suddenly change into a higher poly version.
the us forces will spawn with the trenchgun?
they spawn in 1.0 and they will in 1.1 too.
It wasn't really issued at the western front.
I'm loving the mod and the updates coming are nice. I only have one complaint....too many enemy infantry with panzerschrecks xD
And machineguns...
Hello! I want to report a few issues on the 1.0, (and sorry if I have a bad english): in the "St. Lamaire" mission, there is no way to complete the checkpoints, always die in the process and I have to start the mission all over from the very begining, and in the "Demolition" mission, the ending should be reworked if it's possible, because it seems weird to be just staring at the exploding build with your comrades in the end of the mission and, from nowhere, you are captured, I know that's for the "Prison Break" mission but, I don't know, in my opinion the ending could make more sense if there could appear some nazi soldiers or something like that, and in the Red Army Training, sometimes there appears an immortal german soldier from the halftrack, that's all I wanted to say, and keep up you amazing work! I really like your mod, it's by far the best one for COD2, greetings from Venezuela!
@MCh2207Cz - Great my friend! We'll wait release date. When do you release?
Take also all time to develop & improve a lot this awesome megamod. Can you add also future weapons or maps? I share always on Facebook Back2Fronts to celebrate your work & all team.
You're best!
In future, I suggest also these weapons:
- Carcano M1941
- Beretta OVP
- Breda 1937 Model
- Lanchester
- Ithaca 37
- Fusil Automatique Modèle
- MAS-38
- Volkssturmgewehr
yes

Is Angoville mission gonna be fixed?
yes, see paragraph 8) in the newspost.
The mod is awesome, but I have some questions: will be there any summer missions for the Red Army? Becuase, if it was a secret, there are all seasons in Russia, not only the winter :-)
Also, is there any way to make soldiers with an anti-tank rifle a bit more useful? Because they don't hit any armoured unit, but waste their ammo in desperate attempts to hit an infantryman. I mean, is it possible to make them open fire only at veichles?
And the last one: can you increase amount of ammo for AVT-40? Because it's a good gun, but it drains ammo so fast... Hell, it has only about 60 rounds 'in the pouches'! Even BAR has more ammo.
Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Яussia! :-)
I can't get past a part in the last british mission. the objective says "clear touffreville" but theres a part where i have to knock down the door and i can't interact with it
yes, that's corrected in the patch. see paragraph 7) in the newspost.

9/20/2017 still waiting for 1.1 patch where is the download?
Hi, i dont speak english very well.
I have a question, how i do to install de patch? I need it.
greetings from Argentina
I hope you can add the gas grenade and flamethrower into the future patch for both the player and A.I. to use. The flamethrower was a lot of fun in COD 5: World at War and I would like to see these two new additions in the sandbox for Back2Fronts. The Germans first used the flamethrower in 1915 in the First World War and used it in World War II to clear out trenches, houses, bunkers, and to burn bodies. The gas grenade is used to help the flames spread a lot more quicker. The Merciless mod featured both and it would be awesome if you could add these things in. If the flamethrower user is shot in the container on his back, he would explode.
Got me thinking:
Instead of spending time making your own missions, haven't you thought of extracting campaign maps from COD1 and UO and making it all in one giant multi-layer campaign?
Just an idea for 1.1 patch. Maybe add "Intel" or "Documents" to collect like the Modern COD's do? A couple "Intel's" in some or all the maps to just collect. Since there's so much area's to explore in this game especially with this mod!
when will this patch be released
when can we play the patch
How instal this mod ???
I think I see way too many Russian women than the default
I also see almost every German soldier carry at least 11 panzerFausts and I really think you should have the option to disable ai from shooting those at enemies I constantly see rangers killing them selves by shooting them as nearby cover or Nazis near to them. also no body would waste an anti tank weapon on infantry especially a one shot panzerfaust.
I also noticed that I never saw a single mp 40 till d day, 40 stands for 1940 and yet I still see mg42s in 1941 what the ****! dude
there need to be way more mosins and i will say as a person who owns a negant I think you nailed the gun, good job.
Is there a way to edit the panzerfaust file to ensure the game does not crash after the player picks it up? I had to modify all the weapon files to get around this, and made all the Allied rifles into tank killers.
