Call of Duty 2 Faction Setup

To configure player factions in Call of Duty 2 multiplayer custom maps, you need to add specific code to your map’s .gsc file. This file, typically named mp_yourmapnamehere.gsc, is located in the main/maps/mp directory of your Call of Duty 2 installation or within an IWD file.

Locating and Editing the GSC File

If your map already has a .gsc file, it usually contains a main() function, which may look like this:

main()
{
    maps\mp\mp_brecourt_fx::main();
    maps\mp\_load::main();
}
    Copy
    

Note: Use your preferred text editor to modify the .gsc file. Ensure you back up the file before making changes.

Adding Faction Code

Inside the main() function, add the following code to set up factions and character models:

game["allies"] = "american";
game["axis"] = "german";

game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";

game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
    Copy
    

This code configures your custom map to use American versus German factions with Normandy character models.

Faction Configuration

The first two lines define the factions:

• Allies: Can be set to american, british, or russian.
• Axis: Must be set to german.

Character Model Configuration

The last two lines specify the character models used for each faction. Below are the available options:

Faction	Code	Description
British	game["british_soldiertype"] = "normandy";	Normandy character model
British	game["british_soldiertype"] = "africa";	Africa character model
American	game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";	Normandy character model
Russian	game["russian_soldiertype"] = "coats";	Coats character model
Russian	game["russian_soldiertype"] = "padded";	Padded character model
German	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";	Normandy character model
German	game["german_soldiertype"] = "africa";	Africa character model
German	game["german_soldiertype"] = "winterlight";	Winter light character model
German	game["german_soldiertype"] = "winterdark";	Winter dark character model

Search and Destroy Mode

The following lines are specific to the Search and Destroy game mode:

game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";
    Copy
    

These lines define which team is attacking (plants the bomb) and which is defending (defuses the bomb).
