BSG-75 (http://www.battlestar75.com/)

"We had a last minute discovery that allows us to increase the map sizes of the 64 player maps by 4 times...This will allow us to include for EXAMPLE: 5 Cylon Bastars and 2 Battlestars and several other capital ships,all together in one map(with NO LAG) for more intense fighter combat.....So this being the case we have decided to push back the release to next weekend.....While we know this may upset some of you,we decided to offer up the intro video for the BSG-75 mod that includes the actual ingame models of the Battlestar Galactica,Cylon Basestar,and raiders...(Reminder:The intro video is still a work in progress) view the video on Youtube here: "

here is a interview they did last week as well from Total Battlefield 2 (http://www.totalbf2.com)

"The rather newly announced Battlestar-75 mod has sent us some news today regarding an interview they recently conducted. Here is a portion from it:

Q: Hi commanderK, thanks for taking the Time to answer our Questions. At First, can you describe for us your Mod and talk about the Team which is behind the Project?

A: Our mod is based on the "Battlestar Galactica" universe and is the first and only "Zero-G" mod for "BF2"!!! Our Dev team consists of some very talented people who are led by "Ariock" and all are just AWESOME to work with!!! We of course still need more talent on our team,so anyone interested in possibly working with us,just contact commanderK or Ariock at: BSG-75 (http://www.battlestar75.com)

Q: Your Mod was developed first under the name Battlestar2142, suddenly your Mod is called BSG75. Why did you change the Name?

A: We changed the name to "BSG-75" for development of "BF2" and "BF2142", the name "Battlestar2142" tags us to just one "Battlefield" game when we will being modding for both...*NOTE* "75" is the combat group number that the Galactica was under....(BS-75)"

Zero chance of release.

Developing for both BF2 & BF2142 is a joke, pick a game engine and release a mod for it, support it with updates. FYI BF2142 has yet to see the release of an official map editor for the game, people are bastardizing the BF2 editor to make maps for BF2142, so much for the promised extensive mod support DICE flung out in pre-release interviews.

Aside from that they will most likely face lawyers from the perspective copyright owners in short order telling them to hand over everything they’ve made for the game and to delete any backup files, doubt they got permission in advance to make the mod. And no, it doesn’t matter that it’s a “free” mod.

They'll release, but chances are it will turn out similar to Galactic Conquer in quality. The BF2 engine just isn't built for space combat, they're split across two games, and the zero-g most likely will not work well.

I wait to be proven wrong.

The zero g was awesome on the first release and from what I have read it has only gotten better. Now whether or not they will have anymore releases after this one coming up next weekend I have no idea. But I will look forward to this release and enjoy it while it lasts.
