Here's Squad, a standalone commercial game from the makers of Battlefield 2 mod Project Reality. Since all the living medics clustered around it as it moved, Karlsson s demonstration of the bot s brilliant AI had become a huge ball of medics rolling down a hill yelling Stand clear! In fact, the only thing that changed at all was that, since they were all on a slight slope, the body slid a short distance down it each time the ragdoll collapsed. But fear not, Karlsson says, we have plenty of medics on hand. He promptly stood up and was immediately taken out by the next medic s defibrillator.

The first medic s defibrillator jolted the victim to life. Before anyone had actually revived it, the body was completely surrounded by medics, to the point that the others couldn t even get to him. But before he d even finished the word Stand, the next medics were yelling the same. The first medic reached the body, yelled Stand clear! and charged his defibrillator. And if it hits someone who isn t downed-usually an enemy-it stops their heart instead of restarting it. It actually shoots out an invisible projectile a short distance ahead of you, and if that hits a downed colleague, they re instantly revived. You press fire to use it, your character yells Stand clear!, the defibrillator charges up, and then finally fires. The defibrillator is actually implemented as a very slow firing weapon. Before anyone had actually revived it, the body was completely surrounded by medics. And as they get closer, Karlsson says, This might be a good time to talk about how the defibrillator works. All ten surviving medics snap to attention, staring intently at the victim, and all start running towards him. Friendly fire was on by default in those days, so this kills the medic. It s an empty level, and they re all on the same team, so everyone just stood around staring into space. And since Battlefield 2 can handle lots of bots, he thought he d show off by spawning a bunch more for good measure-about 10 in total. To show that this worked, he spawned one bot to be the victim, and another to be the medic. When Karlsson was tasked with putting together a presentation to show off the AI he was working on for Battlefield s bots, demonstrating that they could play as a Medic and intelligently save lives seemed like a great example of their abilities. If you re in the man down state, but haven t yet respawned, any medic can whip out their defibrillators, jolt your body, and bring you back to life-saving you a trip, and your team a point. Like many Battlefields that followed it, BF2 has a medic class who can bring back the dead.

The best story came from Tobias Karlsson, currently a software engineer at Microsoft, but who previously worked at DICE programming the bot AI for Battlefield 2. My two favourite topics for talks by developers are AI and failure, so Tuesday s GDC talk entitled AI Disaster Stories was irresistible. You can follow the development of Tom's next game, Heat Signature, at its official site. Tom Francis is a former PC Gamer writer and current game developer who offered to give us his thoughts on some of the GDC sessions he's attending this year.

The mods creators note that while naval features were teased before now, v1.4 will not feature them as a result of 'real life circumstances of key-developers'-however suggest these features will be added to a future update. 'Both factions will be playable on 2 maps Goose Green, a 2x2km map focused on infantry combat and The Falklands, our first 8x8km map featuring the entire Falklands Islands and an overview of the entire war, with lots of airspace for the aircraft to fly around in.'

'Alongside all the new content We are also introducing new gameplay systems such as the CLOS SAMs, retarded bombs and more,' reads an update post.

Beyond firepower, both factions also have a 'varied arsenal' of new aircraft and vehicles. It's now launched its version 1.4 which adds the Falklands Conflict-a ten-week war between the UK and Argentina that took place in 1982.įeaturing both the British and Argentinian armies, Project Reality's v1.4 adds authentic kit and weapons consistent with the conflict, including infantry weapons such as L4A4 Bren LMG, the Sterling submachine gun, and the Shorts Blowpipe, among others. Project Reality is an ambitious user-made mod that's served to keep Battlefield 2's multiplayer component active since the closure of GameSpy in 2014.
