Call to Arms – Extended (Updated Aug23)
Latest Update Changes (as of 03/08/23):
(See change notes for latest changes)
(Description partially re-written as its been over 2 years since the last update)
**Newest Changes**
– Infantry use any available RPG in inventor before knives against enemy infantry
– Infantry prioritise enemies within a much smaller range than vanilla over attackers, resolving wonky behaviour in CQB
– All grenade launcher infantry now spawn with their counterpart weapon & a pistol sidearm (ie, they noew carry the grenade launcher variant of their weapon & the original weapon to utilize both in battle)
Note: Grenade launcher infantry now will prioritise their ordinance depending on if the enemy is in cover or in a susceptible vehicle.
– Shotgunner units of all kinds have now been given triple the grenades they typically would spawn with to compensate for their lack of potential sidearm usage (Reason for this is due to weapon priority and unfortunately in short any smallarms weapon with better range takes priority to shotguns)
– Infantry will now prioritise frags over flashbangs for enemies in bushes, but flashbangs over frags when enemies are in cover or out in the open.
– Infantry will now utilize Molotovs when they have exhausted all other types of grenades on enemies (this is dependent on if the enemy is in a bush / behind cover / out in the open, with the latter requiring all ammo depletion before any grenades are used)
– Reworked / changed the maps which have Evacuation and other modes added to them (for example, larger maps like Delta) – They look a little wonky in the menu by name; but they work as intended.
– Removed changes to Conquest in prior updates
"What does this mod contain?…" – If you want the short version:
– 50% increase in view distance for soldiers, battles now engage from more realistic ranges whilst not hurting the gameplays balance
– Bodies / Destroyed Vehicles / Weapons / etc have 5x the limit so battlefields show more war torn features for much longer but whilst not overly affecting performance / multiplayer syncing
– Field of View changes for TPS and FPS views to make them feel more akin to more common game equivilents which are not as "zoomed in".
– Modern added items such as Ballistics shield, Glock 17 w/ extended mag, P90.
– Halo Skins / Breeds, Jackal Shields, SMG, Assault Rifle(s), Plasma Rifle, etc.
– Well over 200 humanskins! (Black ops, Division, BF3 & More!)
– Custom made maps!
– Veterency levels up to 10 instead of only 5
– Weapon skills up to 15 instead of 5
– Conquest is now more infantry oriented, but does still contain all vehicle types.
– (Some) SP maps edited for MP usage (Domination, Evac, Combined Arms, etc)
– Priority tweak to stop soldiers staring into walls while getting shot
– Priority tweak so soldiers will prioritize weapons (fixing the grenade launcher units auto-switching to any rifle/pistol/etc)
– AI tweak so now soldiers will make use of Flashbangs, Frags & Molotovs when necessary~
– Added a bunch of other maps to the new game modes Conquest roster!
– Veterency made much more useful (More HP, More Stamina, weapon skill increase per level, etc)
– Weapon Skill levels now can go up to 15 maximum instead of standard 5! – more skill variety.
– Veterency can go up to level 10 instead of only 5
