I haven't played *any* single player since I've bought BF2 but with limited time because of a new addition to the fam even the mp hasn't happened. Well after checking out BF 2 files they had a release of a sp map called Stream by JONES<<IFC>> . Nice loading instructions I saved the map to the appropriate directory and loaded it up. Initially I was hoping for vehicles but there are none...but you won't need any to find any action. Action is constant and steady and the map is very well filled out with appropriate foliage. Even if you're not crazy about an infantry only map I'd say give this one a download....you won't be disappointed. You can find the map here.

Overall - 9.5/10 -  .5 removed for no vehicles - points for atmosphere, action, flag positions and attention to detail.

First, on the positive side, the maps are well done, very well done. They bring in a fresh perspective that all will have to learn again where the hotspots are, the best sniping positions, which is the fastest way to capture a particular flag. The map Basra is amazing if you like street fighting...there are so many ins/outs of a particular area they seem to replicate the real thing quite well ( I've never been but it strikes me as somewhat accurate ). But you can't survive on mapping alone....

On the to do list for this mod is  weapons balancing. Anti-tank rockets are quite strong in that role...too strong in my opinion. And yet the package itself is quite weak with only a pistol besides the anti-tank rocket which really leaves you very vulnerable to infantry. The tanks travel at an increased rate of speed which should probably be toned down just slightly ( they are too slow in BF2 ) - it seems as thought the BF2 engine has difficulty handling the tank speed and adjusting for whatever other properties they've attributed to the tank model. I was attacking a group of tanks coming over a ridge. I had a head on collision with the first tank and the reaction was like each of the tanks were filled with air - that is he was pushed way back over the ridge and I was pushed back as well. They have the right lethality when you hit something with a tank shell however....so that was good news. The sniper rifle was accurate but the recoil too great. The other thing was the weapons seemed to 'light'.... it didin't feel like you had a different weapon just a different graphic with different variances.

I feel as though I'm being to critical but need to remember from whence Desert Combat started and where they ended up. This mod did make me do one thing though....it made me remember the Desert Combat days enough to go back to playing it again on BF1942...Ouch.

Beach Assault Studios is proud to announce the release of our new modification, Battlefield: High Definition! Although not our first modification project, it is the first to ever be released to the public. Battlefield: High Definition is a modification for the highly successful game Battlefield 1942 (2002).

The goal of the mod is to bring as many visual enhancements to the Battlefield 1942 as possible. Almost surprisingly the increase in view distance brings a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. Planes can be seen soaring through the sky, miles away in all directions. From the proper vantage point, you can observe troop movements miles in the distance. Other visual enhancements are evident as well, including bodies and vehicle wrecks that wont disappear.

I'd post screens but do them a favor and visit their website and check out all of them for yourself here... http://bfhd.basnetworks.net/index.php?news
