Release Date Confirmation



: taichi @ Mon Apr 02, 2007 7:50 am

Thats right folks, the release date we gave yesterday was no joke, and you don't even need to be on our mailing list to get it!

So barring any last minute hitches, the mod will be released to the public on Friday.

This isn't a half mod, where you have some reskinned weapons the same old bf2 soldiers and vehicles, this is the real deal. All new weapons, all new soldiers, all new vehicles and all new maps. This is a full on total modification.

First Impressions:
We have created a new HUD look from the spawn interface colors all the way down to new Loading Screens and military topo style minimaps.

This release will focus on infantry combat mainly, you will have the following weapons to play with....

US Army

CAR15
Colt1911
Bowie Knife
Grease Gun
M14
M16
M21
M40
M60
M72
M79 frag
M79 smoke
Remington Shotgun
Thompson
Remote Detonated Claymores
M61 Grenade

North Vietnamese / Vietcong

AK47
SVD Dragunov
Mosin Nagant
RPG
MAS49\56
Mosin Sniper
Nambu
PPSH41
RPD
SKS
Tokarev TT33
Type56
RGD Grenade
Bouncing Betty
Remote Det Dynamite
Machete

Almost all of the other Kit items have been replaced as well. This includes new Med bags, ammo cans, and a syringe in place of the shock paddles.

We also have several new Stationary Weapons in game.

US Army

Mounted M60
Mounted 50Cal
80MM Mortar
M2A1 Artillary

NVA\VC

Mounted DSHK
81MM Mortar
M46 Artillary Gun
ZPU4 AA Gun

However, that doesn't mean there are no vehicles to play with. We have

US Army

M151A MUTT Jeep (several variations)
M113 APC (several variants)
M48 Tank
V100
M35 Deucenehalf
M109 Arty
M1A1 Tank
M551 Tank
Cobra
Loach
Huey Dustoff
Huey Slick
Huey Gunship

North Vietnamese / Vietcong

BRDM
BTR60
BTR50
T72 Tank
GAZ69 Jeep
T34 Tank
T54 Tank
T62 Tank

And then we have the

Maps

Stream (Conquest + Single Player/Coop)
Closefire (Conquest)
Dawn At The Rice Paddies (Conquest)
Deep Jungle (Conquest)
Lost in Vietnam (Conquest + Single Player/Coop)
Lost in Vietnam Nights (Conquest + Single Player/Coop)
OverRun (Assault)
OverRun the Beggining (Conquest)
Purple Haze (Conquest + Single Player/Coop)
Radio Tower (Conquest)
Radio Tower Night (Assault)
River Run (Objective)
River Run the Aftermath (Conquest)
Truong Song Chasm (Conquest)
We Were Soldiers Once and Young (Conquest)
Who'll Stop the Rain (Conquest + Single Player/Coop)

Map list is subject to change.

As you notice, there are two new game modes! Assault, the defending team must defend their one and only flag. If it is greyed by the other team all is lost and the opposing team wins. If the flag is defended for the preset 20 minute durration of the round then the defending team wins the round.

With Objective mode the gameplay is simple. There will be destructable objects scattered through the map that the defending team must defend\repair. Once those objects are destroyed the attacking team wins. If the objects are defended and held in tact for the duration of the round the defending team wins.

Sounds:

Don't stop reading now! Theres even more! In addition to all of the things listed above which you expect we have gone a bit farther. Almost all of the Dialogs have been replaced With new! This includes Rose Coms and any additional voices like "Throwing Frag" and death sounds. Thanks to a few talented voice actors this was accomplished for both USA and NVA\VC teams.

We also have a completely new Soundtrack for all loading screens! There are somewhere around 30 new tracks Performed recorded and edited by Taichi! All of these songs are geared towards the Vietnam era Music Genre and do a very good job of setting up atmosphere.

The new sounds however, do not stop here! Almost all of the weapons and vehicles have brand new sounds. In addition the maps as well have brand new ambient environment sounds.

To Finish the expectations up please take into consideration that our mod team works with one concept in mind and that is GAMEPLAY. If you dont like our not so uber grafix or our lack of animations for most of the weapons, too bad! We mod solely for the gamer, as gameplay as our #1 objective at all times.


The exact time of release will be decided and posted later in the week.

We hope you are as excited as we are to get back to tearing up the jungles of South East Asia!

And Lastly I would like to give a Super Special Thanks out to Trahn Lee Liao from the rest of the team! He has done a huge amount of all of the coding, and game tweaking to make the EoD experience a whole new one. He has also spent numerous hours debugging and compiling builds for our testers to play with. Thanks a heap Trahn! Without you there would be no EoD!

We shall see you Friday!

This was one of the first mods for the BF series. They did amazing work on their BF1942 and BFV mods. This used to be one of the big 2 mods in the early days of BF1942 when it was only EoD and DC.

No doubt, EoD on BF2 will be worth it. I for one can't wait!

They did a great job with EoD on 1942. A ram hog to be sure, but what mod isn't?

EoD2 Client Files

: Junglist @ Fri Apr 06, 2007 12:22 am

Ok guys the time has come, we are releasing the server and client files to mirrors now.
Server files are available now, and client files will be available from 11:00 GMT.

You can however skip the wait for the client files and download the PASSWORDED torrent.

The password will be announced at 11:00 GMT along with mirrors to the client files, if you are desperate for the password then join IRC and I will announce it at 10:30, half hour in advance of the client mirrors. The more people that start to download the torrent the faster it will become so get downloading!!!

This thread will also be updated as mirrors become available.
Files are being released. Was wondering if TG would be running a server?

Re: EOD Release Date Confirmation

/Give up on finding a torrent link that will work. gameupdates torrent is corrupted so don't download it. That was a huge waste.

Re: EOD Release Date Confirmation

I think this one has potential. I only played for a couple rounds, but I like it better than DCON already.

Re: EOD Release Date Confirmation

Yeah its better than Dcon, but the HUD is garbage, that green does not work, and it looks very amaturish, those everything else seems to be good, and pro-like.
