BAR Late
========

Name: BAR Late
Version: 3.0 (MCh2207Cz)

Game: Call Of Duty 2
Type: Unofficial SP and MP Modification

Modification:
-------------
DESCRIPTION:

If applying for MP use I RECOMMEND UNPURE SERVER.

Note that this improved version corrects MOSTLY script errors found, NO SIGNIFICANT SFX HAS BEEN CHANGED!
 -adjusted the magazine skin
 -corrected tag effects
 -tweaked performance
 -maximized compatibility, minimized error potencial (almost all files are unique, no shared ones except the weaponfile and MP icon)

This little modification brings you the American light machine gun BAR M1918A2 in its late version (1942+). It is SP and MP friendly and it replaces the stock BAR. It goes with new skin (high-res, DX9 compatible), new sounds (fire, foley, reload, shelleject), new icons (HUD pickup icon, MP menu icon, fire mode icon).

Enjoy!

NOTES:
1) The BAR Late model is stock CoD2 (BAR) model with corrected some errors and added features that were characteristic for the late models (handle, buttstrap, bipod) and modified to support the AI compatibily by adding the tags for hand-held weapons.
2) The script compatibility maximized. Almost all stuff uses its uniques files to reduce error probability (the only exceptions to the rule are necessary weaponfiles and MP menu icon).
4) Note that this modification is COMPATIBLE WITH my "Modified P-38" (all versions), MP-41 (all versions), Carbine M2 (all versions), "Scoped SVT-40" (all versions).
   Note that this modification is COMPATIBLE WITH EITHER my "Portable MG-42" OR my "Scoped MP-44". Do not apply them at the same time - it can cause errors - they replace the same weapon.
   Other modifications have not been tested.
5) I corrected the readme mistakes

History:
--------
The late model of the BAR M1918A2 begun to appear in the 1942. It soon became a standard but some soldiers were more satisfied with the older version from 1940 which usually omitted the buttstrap and the handle. BARs were popular but a bit unclassifiable weapons and moraly old.
