Check out this new mod by Gaslight Games called Technomancy: The Shadow War.

Two rival Illuminati groups are battling for control in an alternate version of history. You are a soldier of "The Shrouded", a secret society that has kept its magic-fueled technology hidden from the world for centuries. A disagreement has ripped The Shrouded into two warring factions, and violence has overflowed into the streets.

The team at The Battle Grounds has posted some screenshots of their new map bg_linebattle. Head on over to their website and check it out.

In regards to development on BG 1.2.2, bg_linebattle has been re-vamped using the new particle engine, and detailed textures. Grass, clouds and rain are in abundance, bugs have been fixed, models updated, puddles added, and slight terrain changes. Lighting has been adjusted to make the map have a dusk atmosphere. We hope you enjoy these modifications, and look forward to playing you on it in 1.2.2.

Here is some interesting information from Dice concerning the BF2.

Digital Illusions has sold a development license for the Battlefield 2 technology to AerotechTelub. AerotechTelub will use the technology to power simulators used in the Swedish defense training programs. The agreement has an initial value of SEK 4 m.

The Battlefield 2 game is a first-person shooter game taking place on the modern-day battlefield. AerotechTelub is purchasing a development license for the technology powering the game with the intention of developing training simulators and demonstration facilities for the Swedish defense.

- Licensing technical platforms to a third party is a great source of additional income for Digital Illusions, especially as it doesn’t require substantial effort on our part. We chose to license to a party outside the gaming industry in order to maintain our competitive edge in the games area, says Patrick Söderlund, CEO at Digital Illusions.
