- 7) Modifications (7.1)   -
============================
As with any release of a highly-publicized game comes modifications.
Modifications are custom versions of the base engine that incorporate new
graphics, new features, or new gameplay elements not in the original. They act
like expansion packs, but are generally free, made available to the public, and
game developers encourage mods as they publicize their game to a wider
audience. This section will cover a large listing of mods available for BF2,
along with my ratings/description of each.

   **NOTE: This section will be small right now as there are not any solidly
           good MODs for BF2. If they do exist, I probably have not played
           them. I'm looking for quality mods, generally like Day of Defeat, or
           ones that incorporate custom themes.

  -=- Battlefield: Apocalypse -=-
  ===============================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.bfapocalypse.com/
  Description: This mod looks to be about the future, after a post-apocalyptic
  	       nuclear war that has left humanity in shambles. Some primitive
  	       weapons are still in use, while others strive to fight for basic
  	       resources to live. Looks to be a popular, high-quality mod of a
  	       large community.

  -=- Desert Combat -=-
  =====================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://dc.totalbf2.com/
  Description: The most popular mod for BF1942, Desert Combat is suppose to
  	       take BF2 back a few years to the Desert Gulf era. The creators
  	       will most likely port over the textures, graphics, and models to
  	       re-create the engine using the BF2 engine. Probably won't be a
  	       drastic difference though.

  -=- Flashpoint Balkans -=-
  ==========================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.fpbmod.com/
  Description: Bosnian-based conflict. Suppose to include most of the forces
               from the conflict, including a partially-changed engine to
               represent more realism. Looks very interesting, but I'm waiting
               for a full beta release.

  -=- Frontlines -=-
  ==================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.flmod.com/
  Description: This is suppose to be a realistic WWII mod, and it's definitely
               shaping up to be one. Has plenty of original models too which
               will make it interesting to those who love Medal of Honor, Day
               of Defeat, and series of that sort.

  -=- Project Reality -=-
  =======================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.realitymod.com/
  Description: This is a mod strictly based around modern realism. They're
               suppose to be the most realistic mod on the market, and in terms
               of their release, it's coming along at a very fast rate. They
               removed some interesting features like who killed who, added
               some anti-aircraft abilities to certain armor vehicles, and have
               project members with military background experience. This is a
               top-quality mod, although the graphical changes are minimal.

   -=- Red Alert: A Path Beyond -=-
   ================================
   Rating: n/a
   Homepage: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~renalert/
   Description: If anything, this mod looks to be the most innovative, as it's
   		going to incorporate some RTS characteristics with a first-
   		person shooter. I'm looking forward to this one as they have a
   		great idea set into place, although it may take some time to
   		execute.

  -=- Rise of Kobol -=-
  =====================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.bsgmod.com/
  Description: Another high-promising mod, Rise of Kobol is based around the
  	       Battlestar Galatica game if you've heard of it. This mod
  	       features a ton of interactive spaceships, space stations, and
  	       I'm sure plenty of futuristic combat.

  -=- Rising Conflicts -=-
  ========================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.risingconflicts.com/
  Description: If anything, this mod looks the most like an official BF2 one.
  	       The creators plan for this mod is to incorporate several
  	       conflicts that happen about 20 years from now, but they've also
  	       created tons of new jets, helicopters, and vehicles that most
  	       countries are "planning" to use in the future. Excellent
  	       graphical update on this one.

  -=- Terranova -=-
  =================
  Rating: n/a
  Homepage: http://www.tnmod.com/
  Description: This is a Sci-Fi like mod that appears to be similar to Rise
  	       of Kobol, although on a lesser production scale. Might take
  	       awhile before a release as they're looking for members, although
  	       it already has some base models and graphics to work with.
