I installed this because I've installed the ESMod for BF2 before and really enjoyed it. This one, however, has some issues:

1) The menus are all glitched during gameplay. It's like all the graphics are mixed up. I'm guessing this is due to you developing it for BF2142 Deluxe Edition (I only have the base game).

2) No matter what, the mod always defaults to 6000 tickets per side. Changing the values by creating a local co-op server does absolutely nothing.

3) The AI for the enemy seems to always be more intelligent than friendly AI; while enemy bots will happily backtrack to control points further from the front lines to grab air units, the bots on my side always spawn so that they're as close as possible to the nearest non-friendly control point.

4) Whenever I'm alone (as in, not accompanied by friendly bots) and killing enemy bots, the enemy will almost immediately deploy artillery, as if their only goal is to kill me specifically. Only once during play have I ever seen the enemy use an orbital strike on bots. Not only does this make absolutely no sense regarding realistic tactics, but it's annoying when I finally reach a good vantage point for sniping and, as soon as I start killing, I'm being bombed to pieces.

5) Some of the maps don't actually exist (no image, attempting to load them crashes bf2142.exe); I'm guessing these are only for those who own Northern Strike. Not an issue for those who do own it, I guess.

I'm not sure if all of these are indeed "bugs" rather than "features", but they all detract from the potential awesomeness of this mod.
