Jagged Alliance 2 Fanpatches

This game definitely belongs to the old school genre. To reach the target was necessary tactical approach and thorough planning. Not for everyone, and today hardly promotbar. If that Ja2 fever seizes however, simply can not let go of it. After multiple playthrough towards the end of the last millennium but also rotten with me the game almost a decade on the shelf. What a mistake! In 2007, there was suddenly a new boost with the undertaken by fans Source Code project. I'm not exaggerating. Since then, new versions and mods appear almost monthly which exponentially improve the game. I have my old Amazon review with all the new features deleted, because they are already long outdated. Instead, I just want to list a few projects, where everyone then can even get the latest version.

- The most important milestone is the Fanpatch on Ja2 Version 1.13. This "backbone" of the game is now reached on 1.13 3287 exe SVN @ 1205.
- There are to this version also has a "German Allinone9" patch, which provides full Sprachkompatiblität the German version.
- JA2 Renegade Republic is a published in 2008 Fanmod. The many features have unfortunately no place, so I will mention only the size of 342MB.
- The published already in 2003 Mod "Urban Chaos" has now been made suitable also for 1.13.

I would particularly like to single out the three projects which are constantly being updated and offer new surprises with every version. In Bears Pit Forum you can also find a Single Click Installer which partly combines all three Mods and the Mod Wildfire.:

HAM - Version 3.6 Beta
- STOMP Version 1.0 Alpha
- Alpha Item Mod Version 44

As mentioned above, I now do not want the error list all features, because that ends only again into infinity. Still, I just want to wake up in which one or another curiosity:

- The online arms dealer Bobby Ray has now such a big arsenal that it takes half an hour to get at all with the "Next Page" button at the end.
- With STOMP characters all have dozens of new properties. When creating the BSE character can this even free to choose such as doctor, mechanic, Ranger, Sniper, Scout, bodybuilders, Squad Leader, div. Weapons experts, etc. The default settings can be changed, for example, show-off, a pacifist, Agressivling, intellectuals, etc. with all the advantages and disadvantages.
- Can just about anything to change with HAM. It is supplied with the very easy to use INI Editor, where the player individually switched on features and can switch off. A brand new feature is for example the operation of local "facilities". Dividing such as a mercenary with high explosives expertise to a mine, their daily yield increases. Things like mobile (elite) to train militias, however, are implemented for a long time.

The biggest shortcoming is unfortunately the AI ​​what the main game bears blame. The game has become so good that this point, unfortunately, something stands out negatively. Wenigens one has with 1:13 managed to make enemies attack a regular basis from the edge of. This is particularly deadly because the field of vision was now concentrated realistic. It happens quite frequently that my befindlicher on a rooftop sniper is surprised by an opponent and stabbed with a knife from behind. Level 8 Gus so it can forget itself to conquer Meduna. Teamwork is important denje.

Balancing is a big problem in the tons of new weapons and equipment. However, it's really the thing endeavors to compensate not only on price. So the deadly sniper rifle does not need only one round for Ausrrichtung, a consumed for the weft and the third for reloading, no ammunition also much inventory space and the weapon is incredibly difficult. Because really (thank goodness) permanently reigns lack of money, but it rarely gets the idea to zuzulegen such weapons end time. The hit probability is a now the way visually.

Ok, I have to pull myself together genuine, otherwise I write here all night :-) I hope I have made some people curious. Ja2 1.13 a serious threat to current games and you will not be disappointed. I have the original in my review for the UK version reingestellt because the English mods only run unstable with the German version. The acquisition of a UK Gold version is recommended.
