Our rating:
The FDF mod is simply the first total conversion modification for OFP ( Resistance), it features a lot of outstanding things; as perfect new sounds replacing the ofp ones, 16 new radio voices profiles (more than 3000 words/sentences), a new user interface and fonts, 2 brand new islands, realistic recoil and spec for weapons, new soundtracks, and of course a load of great quality units/weapons/objects/missions (and a Single Player Campaign) which keep a good framerate on a average computer! Lets mention also nice additions like integrated spectating script and debug console for mission editing!
Even if you're not particulary interested by Finnish Forces it's definitly a must have, and it put the mods quality standards at a real high level! Every aspect of this mod is polished and we immediately feel that they put incredible efforts in it, a very sharp and professional work! For example if we look closer to weapon realism it's the best one created so far, weapons are not using high dispersion bullets but are harder to move and aim, reflecting the rifle weight and arms inertia!

Our rating:
The Liberation 41-45 Mod is based on the eastern European World War II front, and features the 1941's Barbarossa Operation, where German forces betrayed and invaded USSR by surprise.
It brings a lot of outstanding units for both sides: Wehrmacht and Waffen SS for the German, RKKA & NKVD units for the Soviets, with dozen of tanks, vehicles, side-cars, soldiers, weapons...
There are also new effects, now the armored units use the first realistic armor damage system based on penetration values and not on just 'hitpoints' (in Classic OFP, you were able to destroy a T80 with several dozen of handgrenades). The tanks are also featuring a special localized damage system, so you can disable tracks or engine and the tank will be immobilized, even if the weapon you're using is not powerful enough to penetrate main armor! The mod also includes several tanks with a second working course machinegun, new realistic mines and grenades. As a soldier, you can now climb on the tanks and half-tracks, which is useful to kill an enemy driver not willing to disembark for example!
The mod has been totally translated into English and French, a German version will be released in a upcoming patch. Unfortunately, the biggest disapointement with the mod is that it is currently without any English missions included, however it should be fixed soon, and that it is not multiplayer compatible.
With this new release it is one of the (if not the) most advanced WWII Mod ever released for OFP!
Invasion 1944

DOWNLOAD INVASION 44 Demo v1.2 [69.66 Mb]
Our rating:
Invasion 1944 is a very well known mod in the OFP community and was started a quite long time ago now. It's an historical Wold War II warfare mod that plans to release a lot of Allies and Axis units (US Army, British Army, French and Dutch Resistance troops, Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS) with also several dynamic campaigns on Operation Market Garden.
They current last release is their Demo V1.2, which features American and German troops/vehicle/armors, a new Map (Sicily) with also several missions. Their technical work on it is excellent and their staff incredibly skilled. Moreover, their upcoming units are really promising! To make it briefly, if you're a WW2 addicted this mod is made for you!
Colonial Wars
Colonial Wars websiteLatest downloadable version:
DOWNLOAD PCW Demo Beta 1.0 [34.1 Mb]
Our rating:
The Colonial Wars Mod is inspired on real Portuguese colonial war that occured in Guinea during the 60s.
It features a new GUI layer, 4 different troops: Portuguese Greenberets, Fula Guide, Guinean Independance Movement and African Civilians, with around 20 new weapons (btw African Civilians are trowings rocks). A lot of objects/bunkers, 2 vehicles, 1 boat, 1 helicopter and a nice Guinea Como Island are also added.
This mod gives an agreeable change of scenery from usual "US vs Rest of World" confrontation, and even if this mod is still in beta stage and since has several bugs, it is very very promising, their authors had a lot of excellent and innovative ideas!
Conflicto de Malvinas
Cazadores De Monte websiteLatest downloadable version:
DOWNLOAD "MLV Mod" Beta 3 [108,9 Mb]
Our rating:
The "Malvinas Mod" is based on Falkland War and has been created by an Argentinian staff: "Cazadores De Monte". They released their Mod as a Beta version and not as a Demo, primary objective being to get feedback on their weapons and units.
Despite of the fact that they are not final units their work on it is really good, the new layer and island are excellent and their team is skilled in all domains , they honestly deserve more interrest from the community and all should keep a sharp eye on their nice upcoming work. This pack does not contain any mission.

DOWNLOAD - Seb Nam Pack 2 Full [45,98 Mb]
Our rating:
When The Nam Pack 2 was released in November 2002 it brought several major gameplay modifications, in example by implementing a higher dispersion level for weapons SEB greatly increased the game ambiance and immersion; running to take cover while bullets fly everywhere around you is a really exciting feeling (in a game at least)!
A lot of Troops are included in the pack: Army, Marines, Air Cav, Special Forces, LRRP, MFR and SEALs for the US, opposed to Viet-Cong Main Force, Local VC and North Vietnamese Army (NVA) with of course a load of new Vietnam Era weapons. They added also several Helicopters, boats, a temporary armor pack (coded only, no new models) and a real good map. An amazing work for a 4 people team was achieved there.
The SEB team didn't planned to released their work as a mod but more like a big addon pack, unfortunaly they stopped working on it so the few bugs won't be fixed and the armor and plane packs releases are more than jeopardized. Anyway it's a must have for people interrested in Vietnam war or in jungle combat!
Battle Over Hokkaido
Battle Over Hokkaido websiteLatest downloadable version:
DOWNLOAD BOH Demo V1.2 [130 Mb]
Our rating:
This MOD contains a lot of various high-quality units from JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force), a completely new island based on actual terrains in Hokkaido (located on northern Japan), new SP/MP missions, and a short fictious campaign based on detailed research on military and history that depicts increasing tension between the former Soviet Union and Japan during the Cold War. Their work is greatly polished and the 'japanese touch' excellent, a lot of details and high textures are applied on vehicles (it even creates slowdowns sometimes on average computers) and soldiers are also very well done. Note: they also implemented fictionnal Mech robots in some mission to add fun.
BAS Tonal Island + OPFOR
Ballistic Addon Studios websiteLatest downloadable version:
DOWNLOAD - BAS Tonal+OPFOR 1 V1.20 [113 Mb]
Our rating:
This pack is African civil war based, it features two islands and two main opposite forces; Government and Rebels (plus militia and armed civilian for each side), a campaign, several missions and the BAS JAM version V2.
The quality of African Islands is truly amazing, with a lot of details, new objects, new sounds, awesome areas, immersion is total. BAS team paid a lot of attention too to keep a satisfying framerate on average computers, this is one of the best island ever made (if not the best).
OPFOR units are also excellent, there is more than 170 (!) different soldiers unit classes, with 28 variants of vehicles (Bis rework or tweaking but also heavily modified vehicles), and once more they used a good balance between details and framerate. This is an excellent pack, the only thing we could criticize so far is weapon realism (compared to FDF mod), but other small bugs have been fixed in patch #1 and some stuff added in #2.
CSLA 2 Mod
CSLA Studios websiteLatest downloadable version:
DOWNLOAD - CSLA II Mod V2.10 [272 Mb]
Our rating:
The CSLA (Czecho-Slovak People Army) mod is a total conversion mod, it means that all the original BIS units and gameplay are modified like in the FDF mod, and they even added new animations which allows players to lean right or left. The mod features around 400 high quality new units, vehicles and weapons of Czech, Russian, Resistance (FIA) and US Armies, with of course new sounds and effects.
With this latest version of their mod, they greatly improved overall realism by reducing bullet dispersion and increasing fire recoil.
CSLA team also focused on their campaigns and Single/Multiplayer missions with long cutscenes and interesting equipment management. Their work on units is truely amazing, with gorgeous tanks, vehicles, planes, helicopters models and textures, even units models are modified to reflect european average height, making animations look better.
