This is minimod HeloAttack-SF.
This mod is a single player/co-op mod only for BF2. Not real sure if it will work online in multiplayer, I did not have time to test.
Requirements.....
BF2 version patch 1.3 or 1.4 @ time of release, and a good computer.
It will not work with any lesser patch.
Xpack SF is required to be installed.
Installation.....of HeloAttack-SF_v3
Just unzip with WinRAR ZIP and click exe. file. It is self installing and will creat a folder called HeloAttack-SF_v3 in your mods folder. All maps are now included. Removed 32 player size and left 16 player as ground assault with limited or no vehicles and 64 player is still all out WAR...
How to...
You should be able to go into your mod folder and copy the exe.shortcut and place in your start menu or you can play
by starting BF2 first then going to costume games and clicking on it. Also try adding some BF2 custom maps, it makes them more intense with the added tweaked weapons and vehicles.
Bug Reports- While playing Commander in 16 player maps, if you do a vehicle drop the game will crash to desktop(CTD). This is because not all Sixteen player maps have vehicles added. While in a tank on any team as the driver, if you rotate the mouse wheel to select weapon you will CTD. Just use keyboard to cycle weapons.
Special thanks to Mark Duncan-Brown and Michael Platt for help with final testing and to SatNav for releasing hmmwv_rocketunit
Thank You
