Battlefield 2: Australian Forces is a singleplayer and multiplayer modification for the team-based modern warfare game Battlefield 2. The aim of the Australian Forces modification is to replace the United States forces with Australian forces; including new player, weapon and vehicles skins, HUD changes, and new weapons and vehicles.

ArchiveThe 1.01 Wash-up
» October 14th, 2007 11:00 am
1.01 has been out in the wild for the last few days, so we figured that it would be a good opportunity to give everyone a quick update.
From the feedback from players so far, the 1.01 release achieved its goal - resolving a lot of the issues and niggles from the first release. The added 'realism' components have been well received and certainly haven't damaged the fast-paced nature of the BF2AUS gameplay. The red damage effect in vehicles has been raised as a slight annoyance, and while it is definitely a great addition on infantry, we will look into a way of turning it off (or reducing it) when piloting a vehicle.
What's next for BF2AUS? We are definitely focused on the next release - 1.1. A lot of rumours have been doing the rounds, more than likely from people who have misinterpreted what we might have said on the forums. 1.01 is not the last version, and we are not actively porting the mod to any other game engines at this stage. We are still developing the mod for BF2, at least for one more major release, namely 1.1.
What's going to be in 1.1? Internally we have a key set of deliverables we would like to have for 1.1, but these will not be made public. What we can say is that we are definitely looking at new Australian maps, vehicles and weapons (mainly for MEC/China), as well as Australian voices. It's also safe to say that the United States team will be returning for 1.1, as well as the possibility of a speciality Australian regiment (as far as we know, they have never been represented in a modification or game).
We do listen to what the players have to say, and where possible, we do try and implement what we can given the manpower available and limitations of the engine. At the moment we only really have two full-time developers on Australian Forces, compared to about ten or twenty times that number on just about any other large BF2 mod. We do a bloody good job for a team as small as we have.

BF2AUS Rant in E-Minor
» July 30th, 2007 7:00 pm
The mod is still progressing, don't let the lack of updates fool you. We aren't in any rush to pump out update after update, we really want to take our time at the moment with 1.1 and make sure we can produce something solid. It's the old dilemma of mod development - we need to put something out to keep people interested, but we don't want to rush it. People are leaving BF2 in droves for new games like ET:QW, but we have a faithful, albeit small, player base who will still be interested in 1.1. If anything, some of the new content in 1.1 should hopefully get a few more players interested.
We have our good days when we are motivated to continue the mod, we have our bad days when we couldn't give a rat's arse. We learnt a long time ago what we could, and could not do with the BF2 engine. We had to scrap a lot of the mod due to limitations, and just general lack of manpower. Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.
What keeps us motivated? Mainly comments from the players, especially when we hear from ADF playing and enjoying the mod off in some far-flung warzone like Afghanistan. It keeps our dick up. Motivation is key, especially after 2 years of development.
Speaking of development, here are some awesome screenshots from Beex. A few more work in progress (WIP) images from possible upcoming 1.1 maps set in Australia. We don't have any word on exact locations, or the scenarios just yet, but they look incredible. Wait until they are finished!
While we are at it, there has been considerable discussion over the last few months about making the mod a little more realistic. We have recently taken some of this discussion to the public on the forums, and the general consensus seems to be in favour of some changes. We aren't talking wholesale changes that will ruin the fast-paced gameplay of BF2AUS, just something to cater for people who like a little more realism.
Anyway, stay tuned for 1.1. When it is done.
Highway Tampa Map Pack Released
» July 1st, 2007 3:00 pm
A new financial year and a new release for Australian Forces! Sadly it's not 1.1, but we are proud to release a BF2AUS compatible version of the map Highway Tampa for use with the mod.
The map is compatible only with Australian Forces 1.0, and will not touch your vanilla BF2 version of Highway Tampa files. The installer will detect your BF2 directory and install the map to your mods\bf2aus\levels folder.
The map pack is available from: http://games.internode.on.net/filelist.php?filedetails=9661
Other mirrors may be available in the coming days.
Australian Sneak Peek?
» May 19th, 2007 11:00 am
The Australian Forces team have been working hard on developing content for the 1.1 release of Australian Forces. The 1.0 release was all about getting the bulk of the Australian content into the mod, but release 1.1 will be about polishing this content and adding specialised content which will give the mod some longevity.
Below are some artistic renders posted on the forums by Beex, which display some of the concepts we have in mind for Australian Forces 1.1.
Please be aware that these images have been highly stylised to appear like oil paintings - there's nothing wrong with your graphics card. :)
Friday Night Social Game - 11th May From 7PM

1.0 Promo Screenshot Pack

ANZAC Day
» April 25th, 2007 11:00 pm
Thousands of Australian and New Zealand (ANZAC) troops have served and died for this country over the last century.
Lest we forget.
Pre-ANZAC Day Social Game Round-up
» April 25th, 2007 11:00 pm
The Australian Forces development team would like to thank everyone who supported the Pre-ANZAC Day social game on Tuesday night. The turn-out was far better than we had anticipated, with an average crowd between 35 to 40 players for most of the night.
The great response last night has resolved our efforts in continuing the development of Australian Forces, and looking at dedicating a night every week or fortnight where we can all play the mod. We may even look at creating a small social ladder at some point, depending on how much work is involved. We get the impression people want to play the mod, but it’s just a matter of organising to get a group of people into the one server at the same time - although next time we’ll try and get some RCON/BF2CC access to be able to change maps.
The highlight of the night would certainly have to have been the rounds on the Al Asad Airfield map. Without a doubt it was one of the most intense, crazy, and totally balls-out games of Battlefield 2 that we have every had the pleasure of playing. Plus that crazy guy singing about riding a quad bike at 100 decibels probably came in as a close second.
For Internode customers, you can download any of the Battle Recorder games from last night from: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ign_bf2_recorder/af-1/ We certainly wouldn’t complain if someone wanted to help make some promo videos or trailers from the gameplay footage last night. ;)
Thanks again for the support, and we hope to hold a few more of the social games in the coming months. Watch out for Australian Forces 1.1!
Player Numbers Picking-Up / Update Info
» April 10th, 2007 11:00 pm
It's great to see player numbers picking-up a little over the last week, it gives hope for the future of the mod. We seem to have a small core of players who play the mod on a fairly regular basis, so that is something to be thankful for. It also helps that we have just the one main server now provided by Internode which now funnels all of the players that used to be scattered over multiple servers into the one location.
As far as updates go, our interest has been really energised by the supportive emails and PM's that we have received from serving ADF soldiers telling us how much they enjoy playing the mod at LAN's, regardless of where they are stationed around the world. These emails really put a smile on our faces when things were looking pretty grim - subsequently we have picked up development after a three month break and decided to put our effort into a new release.
The list of issues identified in 1.0 has rapidly declined with a bit of hard work, and we may even have time to add a few new items to the next release. Once the next release comes out, we may even look at ending public releases, and being developing a more realistic version of the mod exclusively for ADF players.
Either way, more releases can't be a bad thing.
Content Sharing
» April 10th, 2007 11:00 pm
The development team have made it clear to particular mod teams and individuals that we will not be sharing or giving away content, nor do we active actively seek to use any content created by other mod teams. Please respect the effort that has gone into creating this content, as we would respect your content. We have already noted at least one mod that has attempted to use our content without permission, and we will be waiting to take action if necessary.
Pre-ANZAC Day Social Game - 24th April @ 7PM
» April 8th, 2007 11:00 am
Due to community interest, the Australian Forces development team will be holding a social game of Australian Forces on the night before ANZAC Day at 7PM.
When: Tuesday, 24 April @ 7PM
Server: Internode AusForces #1
IP: 203.26.94.12:16567
Players: 64
Thanks to Internode for continuing to support the Australian Forces mod when other hosts have fallen by the wayside.
We hope to see as many of you as possible come out to support the mod on the 24th, and I hope we all can take some time on ANZAC Day to reflect on the sacrifices that Australian men and women have made for this great country.
Quit Jivin' Me Turkey. You Got To Sass It.
» March 8th, 2007 9:00 pm
A "turkey" is a bad person. Just a quick mention that Australian Forces will be a part of the ModJive system which will be going live in a couple of days.
It's a very interesting concept from Sir. Elxx of the Sir. Community, and will hopefully gain a little extra exposure for smaller mods like Australian Forces, as well as keeping all your favorite mods up to date. Think of it like Steam for Half Life... but not crap.

Pictured below are two great
work-in-progress renders of the new F89
Minimi, and F89 Minimi Para models by

Unfortunately due to time constraints
the F89 Minimi didn't make the 1.0
release, but is definitely slated for
inclusion in our next major release.
The
Announcement
»
March 1st, 2007 10:00
am
Battlefield 2: Australian
Forces will continue development for the
foreseeable future, although after
considered discussion amongst the team,
and seeing the general lack of interest
of the mod, the planned content for
future releases of the mod will be
dramatically scaled back.
There are currently no ETA's on the
release of a patch, or the 1.1 version
of the mod. However we can confirm that
these have been in development since the
release of Australian Forces 1.0.
We are currently in the midst of
polishing and tweaking the existing
content from 1.0, content that may have
not necessarily been up to our high
standards while racing the clock to meet
the January 26th deadline, or through
player feedback and suggestions on how
to improve the mod. Once we are happy
with the standard of this existing
content, we will look at adding new
content.
Battlefield 2: Australian Forces can no
longer remain the principle priority for
the Development team as we pursue other
opportunities - opportunities within the
games industry, and outside in the real
world.
Announcement
Soon...

February 20th, 2007

An announcement regarding the
future of the mod will be made in the
coming week.
A big thank you for all of the
supportive emails we have received
since the release of 1.0.
The End Is
Nigh?
»
February 9th, 2007
10:00
pm
After
investing a year and a half into the mod
we have been evaluating where to go next
from this 1.0 release - on the proviso
we would continue developing the mod as
long as people were still playing it.
Quite frankly, the numbers of people
playing online at the moment does not
warrant us continuing development of the
mod, and consequently the next small
patch released to fix a few balance
issues will very likely be the last
release of Australian Forces for
Battlefield 2.
We had a lot of plans for where to go in
1.1, including a fully working unlock
system which allowed us to use our own
weapon unlocks online - something no
other mod has seemed to get working, new
armies and campaigns set in Australian
and Indonesia. Sadly this new content
will probably never come to fruition, at
least on the Battlefield 2 engine.
We will see how player numbers go
over the next couple of weeks, but I
suggest people play online while they
have the chance. I know it sounds harsh,
but we have said from day one that if no
one is going to play the mod, we aren't
going to continue to develop it. Pretty
simple concept really.

The Aftermath
»
January 27th, 2007 2:30
pm
The last few days have been extremely
hectic, although completely rewarding.
The team have been relaxing and having a
few games on the Internode servers with
a lot of regular faces from the forum,
as well as taking on a heap of
newcomers.
The player feedback thus far has been
really encouraging, although we'd be
kidding ourselves and the players if we
thought the mod was completely perfect.
There's a lot of work left to be done
until we get the mod to resemble a
finished product that we can be
completely happy with. As a result the
team have been listening to what you
have to say on the forums and during the
in-game chat, and as a result we have
been making a list of fixes and
improvements for a future patch.
Aside from any patches to fix minor
issues, we have also started evaluating
what new content needs to be made for
future releases of the mod. We are
definitely looking at Australian voices,
new Australian player models, improved
weapons sounds, maps, and
potentially some new vehicles and
weapons for the MEC/China.
Of course we are always on the lookout
for people who can help, especially in
the mapping, sound and voiceover
departments.

Australian
Forces 1.0 To Be Released January 26th

Battlefield 2: Australian Forces 1.0 is
set to be released on January 26th,
2007... Australia Day.
Battlefield 2: Australian Forces 0.3 has
been officially renamed to version 1.0,
a milestone which reflects the amount of
time and effort our small team have put
into this modification.
Consisting of a core team of only four
developers for the majority of the last
year and a half, we have dedicated
hundreds, if not thousands of hours of
our spare time into creating Australian
Forces. We don't get paid to make mods,
we give-up the free time we could be
spending with family and friends,
developing content until 2AM every
night, working through public
holidays... why? We don't do this for
fame or fortune, we do this in the hope
that others can get some enjoyment from
playing the mod we have had so much fun
developing. Undeniably it has been a
very trying path to walk, but on January
26th we hope to get a chance to share
the mod with the wider community. Once
the mod is in your hands, it is up to
the community to use it, or lose it.
January 26th, 2007 will be Australia's
Day!
