Horses work great in BF2142 though. I've seen some nice things on youtube about that, moving really really realistic. But I can't find the vids anymore...

And ye, EA/DICE deliberately made it so that BF2 couldn't have any "walking vehicles" as they where scared that the Mech mod might jeopardize their sales of BF2142.

I found some refractor engine horses

Horses in 2142

I'm sure its possible in bf2, but I doubt anyone has the patience or skills to get it done, and even so, it wouldn't look that great. That being said, I'd rather have horses than motercycles- those things are jerky af

EDIT: Better link- Horses in 2142 (2)

The author mentions "animated vehicle code", which is seemingly exclusive to battlefield 2142 (i assume it allows the vehicle to be animated/moving while no one is in it)

That's correct, as I said above:

This is one of the main reasons why the First Strike (Star Wars) mod moved from BF2 to BF2142 for their walkers etc.

I see. looks to me as if this was around the time EA was turning towards the dark side

It matters not; soon Lord Gaben will have their heads and their wallets

Yes, those were the vids I meant. They look really good in BF2142. Shame it just doesn't work in BF2. I think you can do _some_ parts of it, but it will look quite awkward and will never look as good as in these vids.

A Russian V Taliban/Insurgents map on Afghanistan would work as they had a long bitter war going on in the 80's

Lots of retexturing and a map would be needed though!
