BF2 Pro eSport Modification - v0.35 Server Linux

Battlefield 2 Pro eSport Modification
Beta v0.35

Legal informations:

EACT and the Pro eSports Modfication crew can not be hold responsible for any problems arising while using this mod.
No warranty at all.

Introduction:

This mod was done to support competitive gaming, enabling tiny teams to have a (neraly) full-scale Battlefield experience.
Therefore the main goal is, to change the standard-maps to better fit this teamscale playtype.
As the commander will be too powerfull with several possibilities to spot enemy players, we took away two of his abilities.
With this Pro eSport Mod, the commander is not to sit at the sidelines of the playground any more. Our goal is, to establish a "fighting commander".
Said that, we took away the radar scan and the commander-map spotting. The latter, because the spotting function can be missused to "blind spot" - what is not the purpose of this feature.
The abilites of UAV, Artillery and Supply Drop will remain both in the commander map and also within the T-menue.

Gameplay changes (overview)

• Removed Commander Assets (all maps): Radar Scan Station
• Removed Commander Ability: Spotting (Commander-Map)
• Removed Commander Ability: Radar Scan (Commander-Map & T-menue)
• The death-zones ("Red Areas") will now cause instant death when players stay outside of the playground for more than 10 seconds ("Out of boundary time" is subject to change!)

• Some of the Maps will have a "main-theme" (For example -> Daqing = Heli-battle)
