Expect first major Mods 2 years +

[TAW_Crow]

This is not a gripe or anything, it's more of a question I guess. Why does it take years upon years for the first "major" game mods to be released. Now I know that Mods take ALOT of work & dedication but come on. For example HL2 was released last year & is suppose to have the best editor & support out on the market, yet I have not seen ONE major mod come out yet? How long did it take for the first DC Mods, at least two years although I'm not sure. Basically all I'm saying is that all these compaines release these GREAT tools for the mod community & we have to wait YEARS just to play them. I'm not expecting the first major mod for BF2 for at least another two years.....kind of a bummer.

BTW: I'm a huge supporter of the Mod community & really appreciate there dedication & work.

Major mod meaning TOTAL conversion with heavy changes to the original code.

Probably cause they don't mod 24/7 nor get payed for it. Its more a hobby I think.

DC came out only a few months after 42 released. I don't think we will see majour mods like RC, FH, PoE come out untill December or January.

That isn't a mod of CS:S though. It is a mod of the source engine. Exact same as what CS:S is. Same way as DOD:S is etc etc.

how can you mod CS:S? you can only mod the source engine.

Yes, modding takes quite awhile. Especially because it takes a lot of time. As you have said, the community does do other things. Their job isn't to make the mod. I think the MAJOR problem is that so many people want to make seperate mods. Everyone wants to do their own thing. They don't realize that only having a few people working on a mod takes a huge amount of time. They get these great ideas and their first shots are good then they start to realize how much work it takes and they stop doing it. It would be so much better if people would all get together and work on a mod instead of trying to make their own. I am the project leader for a mohaa mod still in the works and the main problem is getting people that stay. That has always been the case too, hence why it takes soooo long to release a good amount of stuff.

Re: Expect first major Mods 2 years +

Ya i loved POE in some instances it is better than BF2.

That did take some time but not too long. Im guessing right around a year and a half after vietnam release.
