Al-Basrah II FTW!
It's released!

See the community map Al Basrah II thread for screenshots!


Download Al Basrah II installer here



Here is a list of the important changes:
  • The west FOB have a resupplying heli pad.
  • The viewdistance has been raised by 100m.
  • Terrain and vegetation has been changed alot, so insurgents have more cover.
  • Brits has been replaced with USA.
  • Blufor got a helo again (chinook) and it have a bit more HP.
  • SA7 have be readded and modified. Sadly this one work's only well on SLOW moving targets. But i added it anyway.
  • Boat's added to both sides. US boat respawns all 10 minutes, insurgents boat respawns all 30 minutes.
  • All civilian cars respawn after one hour.
  • INS supply vehicle respawns after 30 minutes
  • Landbridges has been removed so defending the (now stronger) bridges is more important. As a last resort, bluefor can use the west village bridge, as this bridge is indestructible!
  • Some caches were moved, some were added in the new buildings.
  • Stationary m249 have much better short burst accuracy and reduced overheating. This makes it more useful as defensive weapon.
  • Artillery IED is much stronger now. It takes out everything and got a scaring explosion animation + sound.
  • The normal IED can destroy armored vehicles again. To blow up a MBT you need 4 of them. They are almost as strong as they used to be.
  • Bridges are much stronger now. You need two artillery IED's or 4 normal IED's to blow up a bridge segment.
  • Dirtbikes are much stronger now and don't blow up on the first road bump.
  • The buildings in the "slums" got added walls to create smaller rooms.
    Additionally, all building parts have been aligned more properly.
  • The so called "gas station" is now really one.
  • The fields got a green ground texture. Now they look much better from far.
  • north and south construcion sites have been replaced with other buildings.
  • Added some buildings around F3, north of the bridge.
  • The insurgent death zone south of the airport is a big bigger. This should prevent helo spawn rape.
  • Death zones around the map edges are smaller. The whole H-column is enterable again.
  • The highway south of gas station got some ramps.
  • H-AT is more responsive.
  • RPG's have 5 rockets now.
  • New grenade launcher pickup kit (similar to the taliban version).
  • Revised pickup kit locations.
