THIS MOD IS NO LONGER IN DEVELOPMENT WE ARE NOW CHANGING THE PLATFORM TO UNREAL III. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN THIS MOD IDEA LOOK OUT FOR THE UNREAL VERSION ONCE IT GETS UNDERWAY
What exactly is Sky Haven?
It is unique 1920s-30's meets gothic fantasy world, a world of magic and technology with airships biplanes and islands that float in the sky.
* * *
It was to be utopia.
A haven from the world below.
Sky haven was born out of a time of despair, economic depression, political turmoil and a desperate need for the fulfilment of the fantasy of a better future.
Behind its creation was the idea of a modern new world that was dominated by magic, technology and the machine, promising a future dream of a perfect civilisation gear to the comfort and pleasure of the elite. That by the exercise of intelligence and reason they were to use both magic and technology to achieve this. To create this new world it attracted some of the best of magicians, scientist, industrialist, thinkers, artist, scholars, idealist, futurist of its day.
Yet like all societies, even those base on great ideals and claim Reason, Intelligence and Fraternity manage to eventually tear themselves apart. Just like the world below the residents of sky haven gravitate to one extreme or the other and war now rages.
Why choose Battlefield 2 for this mod?
I believe this idea will adapt better as a battlefield 2 mod all the fundamental game play elements are there. BF2 has better specs than Unreal. Creating this mod will mostly involve just replacing models, effects and interface’s and redefining some variables without too much coding.
Game play
Game play is air combat oriented due to the nature of the environment. Each side should have a large number of aircraft at their disposal. Islands that float in the sky make the sky more like an aerial obstacle course makes flying more challenging but provides more cover to aircraft. I would like to introduce rocket packs or some form of personal levitation device. I think it would be essential to the game play because of the environment otherwise I’m sure people are going to be constantly falling to their doom.
Vehicles and aircraft
Airships Armoured cars
Planes AA emplacements
Early style helicopters Rocket packs or some kind of personal levitation device
Classes weapons
Ballistic weapons will remain the primary weapons of combat but I would like to add to the fantasy element of the game with some spell like effects for different abilities and maybe some spell cast that replace some weapons

Will there be a Battlefield 2142 adaptation?
There most probably will be. But for the time being we are going to focus on getting a functional BF2 version first

Another dead Battlefield 2 mod to ever be forgotten.
Really too bad, it seemed awesome for BF2.
nooo, the mod looks so nice, plz make a mod like this for an other game!!
i want to play in sky haven :)
I haven’t given up on this mod by no means. I just love the concept, and from my tinkerings in BF 2 the feel of game turned very much as I hoped once I got some thing to work. None the less I have decided to cross over to Unreal III
I isn’t so much that this mod isn’t doable in BF2 its just the editor is a piece of %^&*, not that the game was. Why else would I be trying to mod it =P. And the editor support…or the lack there of, really majorly sucked. One of my biggest problems was import object polly limits of 15,000. I won’t bore you with the details.
What I wanted was real time normal mapping, displacement mapping and to create geometry in the editor among other things.
Anyway I am going Unreal 3 for 3 main reasons
1.It is one of the sickest engines I have ever seen. With all the advanced graphics **** to make my mod look awesome, to put it simply
2.I am far more adept at using UnrealEd 2.5 hence I assume UnrealEd 3.0 shouldn’t be to hard to pick up on despite every thing being built from ground up.
3.Unreal 2.5 is much more intuitive and easier to use than BF2 editor and I can only imagine UnrealEd 3.0 will be even better.
the only major down side will be that more adaptation will be required
Sounds like Project Nomads. I like it.
You guys are developing this fast, can't wait to see it.
does anyone know if BF2 comes witht he editor or where I can get it from?
I know the dude who is making this MOD lol gd luck
Adding to modwatch just for the sake of media! Good luck guys ;)
True true.
If you are speaking in terms of the initial release date, yes I know it will be merely in early beta stage. and probably not very good.
I understand that in the long run changing so many elements of BF2 into a game so totally different is a bit overly ambitious in comparison to other BF2 mods.
It all really comes down to the time and commitment everyone on the team puts in.
This mod could fail miserably but I am increasingly encouraged by the growing interest in and support for this mod.
i think you are setting you goals to high, it seems unlikely you can get all that done
