I have spent years modding the crap out of BF2 and have always dreamt of the chance to work with the Frostbite 2 engine and all of its BF3 assets and FINALLY, thanks to some very smart ambitious devs, I know have the opportunity to do so!
What I intend to do?
Create the most intense, hardcore Battlefield experience...
Planned features:
- No spawning on Flags, Vehicles of Squad mates - only at main base!
- Little to no HUD
- Increased damage for all weapons, explosive range and realistic armour for vehicles (by making it weaker)
- Vehicles take longer to spawn
- Unable to see amount of enemy tickets
- Disallow certain weapons (Mortars and more)
- Reviving friendlies puts them on 1% health and must be healed by medic
- Rework the medikit/ medibag (Hopefully). I'd like the idea for the actual player to do the healing, not the bag
- Decreased range of ammo bags
- Limiting certain kits (Snipers, AT, AA, Mines - Hopefully possible)
There's only one issue with this mod and this is the lack of in game communication. Games like ARMA and Project Reality have the best in game communication and seems unlikely to emulate with the mod tools we get.
Why this mod would work and bring attention?
- BF3 is well optimised
- Not many huge scale warfare games like this
- It's free (Obviously)
- Game play is unique for BF3 and may bring fans of the game who are looking for something more hardcore (Like I am)
- Reinventing BF3 for a unique experience
If anyone knows of any reason these features would not be possible, please let me know! Suggestions of course are welcome and I would be open to collaborations (if someone has a similar idea to me).
Thanks for reading, I really hope I can bring this mod to life!
