Eve of Destruction Mod: Oktober Krieg || BF:1942 MOD 08.12.2004 14:00 by chris
Die Eve of Destruction Mod überrascht uns heute mit einer Mitteilung die wohl so niemand erwartet hätte. Das Team teilt mit das sie den Horizont der Mod erweitern möchte und den sogenannten "Oktober Krieg (1973)" mit aufnehmen wird. Das ganze kann man als erweiterung der Battlefield 1942 Version sehen. Es werden so gut wie alle Fahrzeuge aus Eve of Destruction auftauchen - diese treffen aber diesmal in einem Wüstenszenario aufeinander.
"We have decided to expand the scope of Eve of Destruction. The 1973 war including Israel, Egypt and Syria is known by several names; the Yom Kippur War, the Ramadan War, and most notably the October War. We are accumulating many vehicles - but would like to continue to focus on infantry for majority of Vietnam battles. By expanding the scope of eve of destruction to include the october war, we would have additional freedom to develop large, air and armour based maps while not compromising eod's top-notch infantry battles
Why this conflict?
- It was during the same time period that EoD is currently set; and much of the same equipment was used - helps keep the mod size down, and we can use most of our existing content.
- Both sides were evenly matched
- Relatively "good" war (if there is a thing) - both sides claimed victory.
- Large amount of vehicle action - lets us use many vehicles on a map
- Terrain / maps would be a nice contrast to the jungle
- Could leverage statics / armies from BF2
- There's a book about this conflict called "The Eve of Destruction"
