Battlefield 40k Update

[BadLizzard]

Nice little update from Lionhart over at the Battlefield 40k mod site.

Just a few new pictures to show you on development of the mod.

The Kasrkin are the Elite infantry of the Imperial Guard Cadian forces. They carry the deadly hellgun which is a vast improvement on rate of fire and damage over the standard lasgun carried by ordinary troops. They also have much better armour wearing Carapace armour.
The last picture is the Heavy Bolter Turantula that was tested out recently with drone AI in BF40K-BF2142

Development for BF40K-BF2 has been going on ever since battlefield 2 was released. It has been a long haul in development and we are currently thinking of a release date that may be within the next 2-3 months.

Due to development problems with lack of artists and coders. The development team have agreed that BF40K-BF2 Public Beta 1 will be released in three stages.

Public Beta 1.1 Infantry Only.

Self explanatory, no vehicles will feature only commanders equipment in addition to infantry. 2 Official maps Badlands and Vale
Whilst the public will be playing this release, the mod team will be busy concentrating our art resources into finishing the vehicles and running tests through of them with the Alpha testing team for the next increment to go public.

Public Beta 1.2 Vehicles

IG will have the Heavy Bolter Turantula, Salamander Scout, Chimera and Leman Russ Battle Tank.
Tau the Sentry Drone Plasma Rifle Variant, Piranha, Devilfish and the Hammerhead Tank with Railgun

Public Beta 1.3 Addition of Custom Terrain and Statics (Buildings bridges etc) and new maps.

This will tie up everything for first release.
