I've had this mod for two-weeks and today 4 diferent Trojan's were found and deleted within the Nations at War files...

On Battlefield 2 have you ever wanted to have the option of switching between TWO high-powered sniper rifles on the field? Run 3X as long? And have several dozen new maps? Then The Nations At War ver 3.9 Mod is the Mod for you.

The best thing is every kit has about seven different things including 1-4 primary weapons. Example if you are the United Nations sniper you get the L98, M95, and a MP-5 as primary weapons.  Nations At War features weapons from Special Forces Expansion, and the Euro Force Booster pack along with new weapons. Some new weapons are soldier launched Stinger AA missiles, binoculars and silenced automatics. Allot of the vehicles are re-done or new too. There are pickup trucks with machine guns, TOW missiles, and Stinger sites in the back. There's 4 different colored Sport ATV's. Plus all choppers are sooped up with either tracking missiles or extra weaponry.

Nations At War features over thirty new, and re-done maps ranging from a winter Dalian Plant to recreations of Battlefield 1942 maps like Bocage, El Alaman, and Gazala.

There are many non-weaponry adjustments to. For instance most vehicle have their speed increased by 50%. An example is fighter jets used to max out at approximately 1100 MPH with afterburners. Now they regularly fly that fast and do 1500 MPH with afterburners.

However good thing's don't last forever as I found out. Because these mod-makers are not full-time and are not being paid there are short falls. On The Dalian Plant V2 map I noticed that although the aircraft carrier had been moved the shadow from the carrier was still there. Also some of the re-done maps are really plain and open with no vegetation or cover.

Because everyone is packing with sweet weapons life lengths are greatly shortened. The most annoying thing I found was that the handheld Stinger AA launcher has a big blowback that will kill you and any teammates if the blowback hits anyone, anything, or the ground. I ended up with over -40 points just from accidental team killing and suicides from the Stinger's. Another disappointment was that the grenades from the grenade launchers are now timed, not exploding on impact. Some the new weapons don't have loading animations. New weapons in old vehicles mostly just show the aimer not the gun.

The music is definitely well done there is a general new themesong that is addictive and some of the levels have their own songs while your loading them. For instance, on the Winter Dalian Plant In The End by Linkoln Park is playing.

The value is the best thing about Nations At War, it is totally free and comes in; the mod at 350mb, and three map-packs at approximately 650mb per pack. The connection through File Planet is nice and fast and it only took me 45 minutes of waiting in line and then 45 minutes to download each one.

Verdict: Extra weapons means shorter lives. Take it or leave it.
