Dice posted a news update written by senior producer James Salt on the Heroes website: Hello Heroes!
James Salt here again, Senior Producer on Heroes.
It’s a week since we moved into our new project phase, where we are focusing on working with the games backend systems. Yep, I deliberately avoided saying “polishing the backend” again. For a brief look at what this backend does, take a look at last week's blog.
So, what have we been doing?
Well, I don’t know about you, but for me, slow loading web pages are really irritating. If a page takes more than a few seconds to load, I’m already getting bored and thinking of a new site to go to.

The Allied Intent Xtended team has posted an update detailing a mysterious new app that will be included with the next release of their mod. As we get closer and closer to release day with that ever present weight of a clock above counting down the inexorable hours until AIX 2.0 is unleashed on the community, we have prepared a little guide on the inner workings of the mysterious BF2SPCC which comes with 2.0. Many of you look quizically at its smooth lines and sultry demeanor, while many others have a slight familiarity and disturbing inkling to the true nature of its powers...
What is a BF2SPCC? Its the Battlefield 2 Single Player Command Centre! All joking aside, there's more to this little powerhouse than meets the eye. While it says single player in the title, the BF2SPCC can do so much more. Its true nature materialises in the form of a fully functioning offline stats and awards system, and all at the click of a checkbox no less!
Delve into the guide for a sneak peek at the many other features the BF2SPCC is capable of before its sultry little shortcut adorns your desktop on release day! Go ahead and check out the thoroughly voluptuous BF2SPCC guide here. |

| Closed Beta Update Heroes |
:: 13-11-08 09:53:32 |

Hello Heroes, Been a looooong time since our last update. I want to apologise to you all for that. So what have we been up to? Well, the obvious answer is that we've been hard at work on the beta. To give you more detail, part of what makes Battlefield: Heroes unique is that it is equal parts game and website. On the game side, we've been listening to feedback from the lucky beta people, who have been a tremendous help to us in balancing the gameplay, squashing bugs and improving the overall quality of the game. On to the other half of the Battlefield Heroes experience: the website. We have also been working hard on the parts of the beta that aren't the game. Sound weird? Let me try and explain: You know the old saying about icebergs being 10% above water, and 90% below? Heroes is a little like that. There's the 10% game part you can see, and the hiding 90% is what we call the 'backend'. The backend does a lot of things. From running the website's features and looking after the items you have, to collecting the results from each Heroes game and matchmaking players into games. We have received lots of great feedback from our beta testers. So much so that we are now ready to enter our next phase. On Friday evening (6pm CET) we will be closing down the current Closed Beta and moving our focus to polishing the backend. So for a while there will be no closed beta available to play. We expect to re-open the beta early next year. A special thanks to all of our beta testers for your feedback on balance, polish and bug reports over the last few months. Your help has been invaluable to us.

| Project Reality v0.85 Update |
:: 11-11-08 12:36:02 |

Today we bring you another large update from the Project Reality Team. However, as many of you may know, today is Remembrance Day, where we commemorate the sacrifices made by those, in conflicts past and present, to preserve the freedom which we take for granted everyday. So although Project Reality is just a game, let us not forget the men and women who have fought in the past, and those on the front lines today. Please show your appreciation with 2 mins of silence at 11am GMT.
Project Reality v0.85 Patch Update
With the release of PR v0.8 we have had lots of feedback on the forums regarding changes we have made in the release and we our selves have seen what has worked as intended in game, and what has not. Overall the PR Team is very happy with the way PR v0.8 has turned out, its been another very successful release for us. As always there has been some unwanted bugs and gameplay failings in v0.8, which is what our current focus for v0.85 will be: tweaking, improving and fixing these issues. The PR team has been working hard on fixing various bugs, many of which were discovered by community members in our forums. We are also looking towards the future, evolving the gameplay and adding new gameplay elements as well as refining the content features that were included in the last release. Expect further updates on these developments either in the Developer Journals or in future news posts!
Community Matches Update
Its been sometime since Objective Peach was played, and a great success it was, we have now moved on from that a little and have created a dedicated team of [R-COM]'s to ensure we continue to bring you gameplay with a twist. Maps have been changed, assets have been added, and the whole experience promises to be something new for all the PR Community. The team, made up of the community, have been quietly working in the background to make sure they bring you the best, and I think you will agree that they certainly have done that. UN Peacekeepers our latest addition will ensure that the matches are played fair, and also give you something else to look out for, before you squeeze that trigger !! For more info head over to the Community Match sub-forums for more info.

Eve of Destruction 2 v2.0 Released
No other military conflict is comparable to those dramatic years of the 20th century. Most rumors spread about the Indochina and Vietnam War are not honest, even though it was the best documented war in history. No other military conflict was ever so controversial, pointing to an unloved fact: our enemy was not the only source of evil, the evil could be found within ourselves.Eve of Destruction v.2.0 BF-2
The Eve of Destruction mod team is proud to announce the release of Eve of Destruction v.2.0 for Battlefield 2. Eve of Destruction for BF2 v.2.0 brings to the gaming community a whole new mod build featuring new armies, new equipment and many new maps. Be sure to read the readme enclosed within the mod build for more details regarding equipment, maps and teams found in EoD v.2.0 for BF2.
Please be sure to also take a look at the quick reference guide that is created on your desktop by the installer of the mod build. It is a text document that you can open with notepad. It contains some useful tips to help you get more enjoyment out of your time in the Jungle.

| BF2142 mod: Conflict 2142 Full Install (3.0.2) |

BF2142 mod: Conflict 2142 Full Install (3.0.2)
Please make sure to delete all previous versions of the mod before installing this one.
The year is 2142, a new ice age is upon us and humanity is at war again. Fighting for the last remaining land the PAC and the EU meet trying to stay away from the ice. Conflict 2142 furthers the story set by BF2142 over time of playing, as newer version of the maps come out, you will notice the changing environments as the polar icecap moves further south. Check the forums for weekly map updates. Just about every weapon and vehicle has been reworked from the standard bf2142 items. The weapons have been recoded to make them fire more like you would expect them to. They are now more geared towards the intermediate to advanced players. There are over thousand changes to the standard bf2142!
New weapons include the GAPR (Guided Anti Personnel Rocket) this is a pulse seeking rocket launcher for the assault kit, it fires 4 rockets at the same time that can lock onto and track anything with a pulse! The recon kit now has a silenced pistol, and everyone has the stabilizer by default.
New vehicles include the mercenaries vehicles. These are all reworked old vehicles. The mercenaries are a third faction involved in the war for land, all they care about is money. In their retreat down south the mercenaries raided several 21st century military bunkers. They took much of the armor that they could salvage, and upgraded it with the modern technology. Take the LAV for example; this now has a vastly improved engine, dual chain guns and a motion mine launcher. The mercs secret weapon is a completely invisible jeep that can carry 4 people, this is highly entertaining. One more vehicle that really needs a mention is the merc mobile arty, fly massive devastating TV guided missiles to crush your opponents into the ground.
To top things off we have re-skinned the soldier's uniforms, the vehicles and guns. Not only do they now have much more detail, they now come in four different types of camouflage, to suite each map. Finally the effects have been touched up too; there are now numerous blood effects, depending on where you get shot, and what with. This is all just the tip of the ice berg though, read the change log for more info, as there is so much in this mod.
One of the best things though about this mod, is the community that surrounds it. Right now there aren't that many people casually playing it, but the cf2142 tournament ( http://www.conflict-2142.com ) play massive organized 8 hour battles on it every Saturday. Try out the mod, If you like it on single player you will love it in the tournament. There are so many features in the mod that you probably won't notice, in the cf2142 tournament you will be taught the benefit of all the features of the mod to maximize your killing potential.
Please keep an eye on this mod as there is tons of stuff in development, including fixed wing bombers, jump packs, new buildings, new levels, new guns, and even more new vehicles. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.
Note - When trying to find an online server, use the advanced browser, un-check all the filters apart from same mod, then update server list.
