WarFront wechselt zu BF2

The WarFront team has decided that we will not update our existing Battlefield 1942 mod, but will instead turn our much needed attention to the BF2 game engine.

This decision comes in lieu of the daunting task of having to model everything that we will use in the BF2 game. Unlike Battlefield 1942, where the statics such as houses, barns, barrels, boxes, etc. could be re-used from the existing game, BF2 will contain only modern statics that will look out of place in a WWII mod. This will require our team to model anything you will eventually see ingame, and skin and code them as well. Due to the size of this task, it is impossible that the WarFront team, at it's present membership count, be able to produce a successful mod for both BF2 and Battlefield 1942.

The Battlefield 1942 mod that we released was simply a tester for this team, and was always considered by us as a forerunner to our real objective, which was a WWII mod for BF2. This is our goal, and in order to reach it, we must sacrifice our Battlefield 1942 mod production. However, we will be releasing a sound pack that will change some existing sounds and add alot of new sounds to WarFront 1.0, that has been in the works for some time now. This should be released in the next 2-3 weeks.

What you saw in WarFront 1.0, however, was certainly a taste of what's to come with our BF2 mod. We will strive for realism, and historical accuracy, as much as is possible within the BF2 engine. Realistic gameplay demands teamwork to win, and teamwork has always been the main focus of WarFront. This will continue with our BF2 mod. Also, because we are modeling our own statics, you can look forward to a better immersion into the real battlefields, with our unique buildings and props for each battle.

WarFront was one of the first mods to announce that we would be modding for BF2, and with this new focus from our team, we hope to be one of the best, also. So, be sure to check the developements for this mod as we post updates on our BF2 work in progress, and thank you for your continuing support of WarFront!
