Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

mods are not going to succeed

why?

a) there are too many of them - all in production, none finished and playable

b) lack of diversity - asides form pirates and 40k-genre all other are so similar to each other, that makes them redundand and useles

c) they are not complete, and many of them never are going to be

d) bf2 is going to fade away after 2142 and et:qw - why? because all you care is is stats. ranks. unlocks.points. mods dont have WORKING and RESPECTED ranking system - so no mods for us. we play bf2 for points. EA knows our psyche better then we do. i envy them for it. after 2142 is out, peoeple are going to stop paying ranked bf2 serwers, and we realy play for points only - there are TONS of GREAT 3rd party maps for bf2. there are lots of bugs and imbecilities fixed. who plays them? no one.

e) mods are not going to be completed before 2142/qw is relased. mod teams are going to switch from one dyin gplatform to another dysing platform to in the end not finishing its work ever.

f) many mods are of poor quality. bf2 is an overal very high quality game [im talking about visuals - it is all we care, and dont tell me it is otherwise, i sense hipocrites at a mile or more] - doing a good quality mod requires i) lots of time ii) lots of manpower. so look c) and e)

g) we realy care about points

its clear youve never played any mods for the battelfield series of games. there would be no bf2 if it werent for trauma studios that made desert combat. i hate to burst your bubble but 2142 is nothing but a ea created mod, its all the same engine and this horid coding so it will make it that much easier to port out the mods in development. the fact is mod players dont give a rats ass about rank, they play to have fun, not for some meaningless number. its too bad that alot of people think this way because your going to miss out on the best the bf2 engine can bring us.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

yeah right, i never played dc and fh in my entire life, yeah right. i suspect i;ve wasted more time playing fh than bf2.. so youve failed the sherlock game

and about mod players. yes, they dont give a damn about rank, but i bet they give a damn about who to play with. when all other 99% of gamers play for ranks and points you are left with singleplayer because idiling in an empty server is no fun. trust me. fh has so low server coutn now, that i have to play coop with 5 my coworkers. sorry, but wolfgaming servers have pings of above 300 for me, and im not going to play at the arishe kampfer.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

because FH is 4+ years old, for a mod to stand that long and still be relitively popular tells you how good it was and still is

people didnt stop playing BF42's mods after BF2 came out, hell I still actively play both DC and FH and I can ALWAYS find a full server, for a game that came out in 2002, thats pretty impressive

BF2 isnt going to suddenly die out, when BF2142 comes out and you all speak as If the mods wont be released for years, come on......

BF2 isnt going to suddenly die out, when BF2142 comes out and you all speak as If the mods wont be released for years, come on......

well.. i have an example in form of hl2. bf2 is 1yo, there are NONE full scale mods available. poe2, fh2 etc are months from relase, i can say years.

and comparing bf2 a nd bf1942 is imho wrong. because bf2 bases itself on ranking system. very, very heavily. there are more ranked than unranked servers. when 2142 is out, people who pay for them will have to choose - pay for bf2 or pay for 2142.. and i suspect theyl pay for 2142, because many, many players are going to check 2142.

then playerbase will do its move - to where the mighty point is made

pf1942 was popular, because it was great, new and had no real competition. bf2 is going to have VERY strong one in form of et:qw. so i dont know on what you base your optimism.

btw - name 5 great mods for hl2. remember that all mod hype when hl2 was aproaching? and remember that valve did great things to ease the mod process. dice did that not. i base my conclusions on that. bf2 mods are going to fail.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

Im with Sacramento on this one :P

And how can you compare HL2 with BF2!? And I also don't get how you can think that FH2 and POE2 is years away, *****.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

The mods are a great addition i remember bf42 and playing P.O.E , F.H ,D.C and i still go back and play them why because they are so huge and so much fun .

Those was the days when no one cared about what rank they had they just jumped in all guns blazing and had a laugh.

In reaction to the mods are to poor i honestly dont see how you can say this euro force was poor and it cost money the mods are free and are of great quality comarded to the expansions that EA brought out.

As for them been to buggy jesus christ just look at vanilla bf2 and tell me that isnt buggy.

I play usi naw and pr but im waiting for forgotten hope and desert conflict to show up .

God bless the mod community there work is great.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

The ranked "feature" is what's killing mods and the single reason why mods won't succeed in BF2/BF2142.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

For what it's worth I've always had the same opinion as sidtherat. By the time the expected mods are finished (if the editor wasn't relaesed as a beta maybe we'd have them by now?) a large % of the community will have moved on to other things and those left will be still playing BF2 for points/ranks.

I really, really hope that i'm 100% wronng but I don't think so.

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

hmm....let me think..........Maybe USI?!!

Tried it. Didn't like it. Stopped playing it. Went back to vanilla.

lmao, what i was thinking

[Sovetskeey]

Re: Start playing the MODs!!!!!!!

I loved POE for BFV and I can't wait for POE2. Until then I've got plenty of other games to play. I've hit a roadblock in BF2 trying to get past the First Seargent rank so I've pretty much stopped playing BF2 until a truly good mod gets released.
