Re: Do you like Mods?

Sounds pretty decent. Any storylines behind them or just extra maps and scenarios?

Re: Do you like Mods?

That all depends on the time that the staff have whilst creating the maps and forces. We do have a few community players within PR that have been working on a storyline to go with the maps.

Individual reason for creating certain maps are bandied around too, Like Hills of Hamgyong is USMC vs Chinese right now in the latest PR build and the map was created by a mapper who wanted it as a tribute to a close relative who fought in the 'forgotten war' that was the Korean conflict.

It depends on which mod, sandbox is a creative mod which I enjoy at times and PR is really realistic, but I don't really play it much. Most of the mods i've played are really good, which gave a good impression for me.

POE2, this game is 100% what BF2 should have been from scratch 1. Some ported and perhaps a little unoriginal ideas (jets mostly), yet beautiful and has sh!tload of immersion.

Too bad its not doing great in terms of player base, then again its a BF2 disease anyway.

Re: Do you like Mods?

To be honest i really like playing mods for the mentality of them..in PR moving as a squad, covering your own guys, it feels great compared to running around a corner and getting claymored.

The think is about Bf2 essentially it is a very moddable engine however DICE has given out crap so players are not drawn away from ranked servers as EA/DICE make a killing each year just from ranked servers, hats off to the devs that have made countless work arounds, developed their own tools to help other modders and keep the community alive.
I pretty much only play mods now with an occasional dap into nilla' its just so much more fun, even just playing in a un modded unranked server is great doing stunts, sniper wars great stuff beats Karkand any day.

Re: Do you like Mods?

I played vBF2 for a few rounds with a PR mate and came virtually last everytime after successfully holding off enemies from the flag I was choosing to defend.

It seems the stats system encourages everyone to just run forward, constantly moving, because any enemy deaths are counted and give them points. The losses to self aren't taken into consideration and the gameplay becomes flawed as a result.

Stats kill the gaming because no one is willing to defend as they don't get points. It's musical chairs with those flags and that doesn't make good gameplay at all.

IMO its not the stats/ranks thats bad its the mentality behind it, it seems as if you are fighting by yourself in an individual struggle to get the next rank.

yeah i have to agree with that... the ranks keep getting higher and higher until you lose the will to keep going to get the next one... it just takes forever... and everybody has good days and bad days and it just discourages you to get 25,000 more points just to get next rank and mabye, just mabye get a few awards and a purple heart of course on your way there... the best part about it is the unlock but that soon becomes old and you find yourself wanting a break from all that... so yeah i like mods cuz they got new weapons, vehicles, maps, armies... it makes it so unique and you can get away from the original for a while and mess around.. plus i always prefer the single player mode on those so you can whip all the bots! it adds a whole new concept...

Re: Do you like Mods?

after recently downloading PR i have to say that it is awesome and that i love to play it, Air maps is also a good fun mod and POE2. So i find myself more in mods than vanilla these days. Good job mod guys

Re: Do you like Mods?

i've played Dcon, and i've just started PR which i found very complex it looks like fun but it takes a good day or two to learn how to play PR.

Dcon is good but i'm still looking for a mod thats the same as vBF2 just with new guns, maps, armies, and vehicles.

Re: Do you like Mods?

POE 2 is a good mod where everything is new... go ahead and try to download it... its fun!

Re: Do you like Mods?

I dont like community made mods because they seem somewhat sloppy.
...Although mods do amaze me, i have 10 of them installed.

:laugh:


My favorite is OPERATION PEACEKEEPER, the first(and best) total conversion mod for BF2.:)
But i'm still waiting for FH2, i'm hoping it will be the best mod ever.
