They say the world was green once. Trees and grass. I've seen the pictures, but it's still hard to believe. How the hell did we come to this? There are a hundred different stories, and who knows what's true and what's not any more? You see, I was born After. Never got to feel the grass between my toes or climb a tree the way my granddad talked about. For all I know, he may have been the last one from Before, and he's gone now, too.

I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. Granddad said that men always seem to find a way to destroy each other, and themselves. Seems to me they did a hell of a job this time, and took out the whole damn planet in the bargain.

I guess we're not any different now, though. No lessons learned. They say it was a real mess in The Dark, that time just After when the survivors began crawling out of their holes. The sky was blacked out by ash clouds, and almost every growing thing was dead. People killed each other over food, and to hear Granddad tell it, sometimes they had to eat those they killed.

Wasn't long before folks started banding together. They built strongholds in the rubble, and they salvaged what they could from the machines of Before: cars, generators, guns. Eventually, the Dark passed, and Man survived.

You might think that's a good thing, that it's the start of civilization again. You might think that the worst is behind us now. But if you'd ask me, you'd be wrong. You see, these "civilized" people, they still fight and kill, sometimes for the sheer joy of it. And some of those who crawled out of their holes in The Dark came out changed, twisted, mutated into something no longer completely human. No, the worst is not behind us. We're right here in the middle of hell. So I roam these roads alone, my car and my gun my only companions. Waiting...waiting for my turn to die.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys & girls… Dyin’ times’ here!

After more than two years in the making and much anticipation, DoomLab Studio is proud to release the 1st Official build of Battlefield Apocalypse v0.1, a Total BF2 Conversion!

What is Battlefield Apocalypse? BF:A is a total conversion of the EA/Dice multi-player pc game (SINGLE PLAYER IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AT THIS TIME), Battelfield2 with all new maps, weapons, vehicles and player characters(coming in v0.2), based in a post-apocalyptic era. The world as we know it has been destroyed and it’s every beast for themselves! You rely on whatever you can find to survive in the wasteland, or thrive in it. Never underestimate the power of any weapon or vehicle, no matter how insignificant it may appear.

We are planning the release of v0.2 in mid-March 2008. There are more maps that weren’t ready for this release and a lot more objects.
