At least if it was copy paste mod done well but this one is just baaaad :D and 100% copy pasted from other mods combined with B4 asset flip.... and the Chinese Karkand map? I mean WTF??? Its not terrible but its just so weird :D it would be much better if it was not just ctrl+c and ctrl+v from other mods and nothing else. I spotted BFHD,Alpha project,Unknow mod,Project reality explosions,Bf4 animations and supply crates i think from AIX put all into 1 mod. ANd the maps you shown in the end that were just either blank ground textures,couple of jets and full of bots standing around or warlord and noshahr canals map mix...but just random moutains map with a guy being wedged in the floor from shoudlers down mouting an rpk in a bunker that faces a blank wall takes the cake in my opinion. I mean excuse me,nani the F? :D ANd the Ai is either compeltely...disabled or aimbot superhuman psychic movement predicting death machines :D This mod would need a lot of polish and work to be good in my opinion. :) Its not like a BFHD or Batl333 which are like BF4 in Bf2 coat or Armored Shield mod which has weapons and animations from PR mod or BFBC2 mod because at least those mods are good and work (mostly.... BFBC 2 mod crashes sometimes),not entirely 100% copypasted and not an agony to play! :D THanks for the review.
The Counter Strike sound effects just made me lose it proper good lol. I actually issued it a lower mark at first to be honest, but then I let out some steam and decided for some constructive criticism on the thingy. Glad you enjoyed the review mate!
@@ChrisTGamingZone Yeah i believe that! :D Yes,that was a good step ;) Better to have constructive,honest criticism rather than to make an angry review and completely humiliate the mod to pieces :D THanks!
The empty map is "Navmesh tests", a troubleshooting map I forgot to pull before uploading v2.4. V2.5 is much more refined and many of the original complaints were fixed and released 5 days before this video
@@kylesmatthews sorry i did not know that and havent searched for your mod yet. I gladly and probably will give it a try 😉 ( having bit of hdd problem so i am careful with downloads and installing bigger programs because its kinda falling)
@@existenz_svk2639 understood, Chris has a point about lots of bf4 content, and I can't argue with that. Firebird is a work in progress, and primarily being built by one person with the help of two friends and lots of feedback of errors and such. Firebird started from the alpha project mod so a lot of the complaints are for left over content I haven't changed yet. My goal with firebird is to be a more realistic and modern version of bf2 but not as hardcore as reality
Atleast even tho RusMarine mod is an asset flip can but atleast it adds a lot more content than this. Btw bf2 bc2 mod v1.8 already came out, it's kinda buggy but it is a great mod, you should check it out.
As much as I dislike assets, these are border-line acceptable by me as long as those are not plagiarised and seen in tons of different mods. RusMarines is walking that fine line between copy-pasta and great project, yet it's offering fun unlike Firebird's lovely trainwreck. Thanks for the suggestion on Bad Company 2 release, I think it's time for me to cover that one as well :D
Nice one man! Actually while recording that underground gun bug, that I was laughing for a minute straight. Reason why the camera didn't move at all for some seconds xDDD
@@ChrisTGamingZone I welcome Constructive criticism and like using it to make FIREBIRD a better mod. I Suggest you play V2.5 which was released 5 days before your video because many of your complaints were fixed, your video was entertaining to watch and I admit seeing that headshot on warlord was satisfying lol
@Chris T How do you define stolen? Did you even ask the dev if he got permissions for the assets used in the mod? I believe Moddb is very strict when it comes to that stuff, that's why Firebird is featured in Moddb, while mods like Rusmarines, UNknow and Battl333 are not.
Hey there. So about the stolen statement, I corrected myself in the review as shared assets (ahem being the sign). The claim that content is stolen was due to my sheer anger during the gameplay section of this video. For the review section I took a break of 2 days so I can recompose my thoughts and give an unbiased view. I thought people would get the correction it at first, but looks like I'll have to state it going forward in newer videos. ModDB sadly isn't a saint when it comes to filtering bad projects. Medal of Freedom, Nightfall 2048, One Man Show, are prime examples, I found those on that website before they were eventually nuked after several months of being up. I'm going to mention that I'm not against Frostbite assets usage in Battlefield 2 modifications, but if these are shared between other projects, that's automatically bust. In particular, I've already seen the SCAR-H, M16A4, M110 SASS, M249 (and I can count even more) in other low effort modifications that popped around on ModDB.
I was not contacted or consulted before the review, first I heard of this was by a comment in the Firebird discord. Chris has a point that most of the content in firebird was created by others, though extensively modified by me and there is orignal content in the mod, though permission was obtained for most of the content. Firebird started it's life as Alpha Project and I've removed a lot of their stuff but I didn't catch everything.
I never contact any developers related to a project unless it's an exclusive first look or receiving a request to test Beta builds. Can't argue much about changes to content from the coding-level perspective, but there are definitely some slight alterations in the gameplay section. I do hope more original custom content will start featuring in Firebird going forward, since throwing in ports in a project doesnt cut it.
Not surprised in the slightest, copy-pastas always take something from Project Reality to give that sense of seriousness for its setting. And it fails spectacularly every time I see it lol.
Hey man! I never really expanded into other games because the gameplay mechanics are very different compared to Battlefield, so my review methods will not work for other mod projects outside the BF franchise. But I'm willing to give a shot and do a gameplay on it, so thank you for the suggestion!
Hello, I'm a Dev for firebird. I started this mod as a personal project around 2014 and because my friends liked it so much I released it on moddb. You're playing v2.4 and I've fixed many of your complaints like the shotgun and smoke in V2.5 which was released 5 days before your video(I understand that 5 days before isn't enough time to make a video of the current version, just clarifying for future players.) I'm constantly developing and improving FIREBIRD and much of the feedback is helping improve the mod. I'd welcome your review of 2.5. Firebird is a work in progress, and I'm constantly changing and fixing things.
What's up man, thank you for watching my video on your project (even if it was in such a negative spotlight). Had I knew you would drop the fresh version I would've held the release of this video and feature the refreshed version. I understand that you spend a lot of time working on Firebird, since it reached 2.5 version from the initial 1.0 release. I'll look into making a live-stream in the upcoming weeks to revise the final mark :D
today i just watch fight and mec soldier done incredibily smart move. he engages enemy tank and he run fast to another tank. which was away from 30 meters. he used tank to destroy enemy tank. bro i played many mods but again must say your mod is best. your AI is so smart. sorry for my bad english. and one more thing. i noticed one small problem. when friendly soldier sits in tank secondary position, or other land wehicles, he jumps out from vehicle after 10 sec. not always 10 sec but happens often. thank you ♥️
I can recommend you download RusMarines mod, previously featured in my Mod Review series. It's a heavy-weight, but includes the Warlord Noshahr Canals map with great custom vehicles, and decent working bots. Plus, you won't see copy-pasta weapons :D
It's not Strike at Karkand. It's Stlike at Kalkand.

took it like a man
Well the review was fun! Developer will not be thrilled though😅I'll visit the unknown video, I missed it
Always fun to roast copy-pastas mate! For sure the mod developer will not be happy with my final mark lol.

That M136 AT4 animation that took a year to be ready to be fired is ripped off of Project Reality.

Ngl I really wanna play that Noshar Warlord map

If you download V2.5 it has been removed
