CAL-BF2 8v8 Preseason extended by one week, BF2Pro, Main teams

CAL-BF2 has decided to extend the 8v8 preseason by one week. This is because the release of the 1.4 patch is imminent, and we are looking into the use of BF2Pro for regular season.

For those of you who don’t know what BF2Pro is, it is a mod that improves BF2’s gameplay by making the infantry combat less random, by reducing helicopter TV missile dominance, and by improving class balance. It also has the benefit of including all of the changes of the CAL-BF2 mappack (used last season) in a much smaller package. This means that if BF2Pro is used, the 460MB season 3 mappack is not required. The download size is ~24MB for both clients and servers.

The latest BF2Pro (v1.4) can be downloaded from our Files section.

Preliminary polls to team leaders show that there is some support for using BF2Pro, but very few teams have actually tried it in a competitive environment. For testing purposes, BF2Pro 1.4 will be mandatory for the Preseason Week 4 match. The map will be FuShe Pass. Note that BF2Pro will not necessarily be mandatory for regular season in the Open division, pending on the opinions of active Open teams. A majority of the Main teams have already shown support for it, so it is very likely to be mandatory in that division.
