    Lots of things probably contribute to the long development time needed, people are getting better at making gun models though :P

    If you can model a weapon, son you've got yourself a mod!

            I think some game engines are harder to mod for than others, and depends how far away from the original game they are straying away from.

            For DC, just taking a guess here, the hardest work probably came in the form of modeling and animation. The physics were already there for everything but the helos, all you had to do was look at what was already being used in the tanks/jets/jeeps and apply those ideas with a bit more oomph. A mod/game like Tactical Ops for UT took a bit of time because they were literally coding stuff that was not native to the engine (reloading, clips, buy/sell menu, c4 disarm, ladders etc).

            In BF42, if you made a new tank, you could look at the Tiger for example, and have a rough idea of what you needed to do. But if you wanted to make a landmine that only exploded when the enemy was on it and just certain vehicles and not go off at all if it was a friendly, you were shit out of luck. The engine for BF42 was/is pretty limiting compared to HL/UT/Quake and there is/was only so much you could do. In BF2 though, that is all going to change because of the Python scripting.

              I'm not sure what you mean. I see tons of mods come out for HL2 after like 7-8 months. Only thing is most are not so popular. So the mods are out there its just the great addicting ideas have not been made, maybe?

              DC addicted me cause of the modern warfare.

              For Bf2 I will most likely become addicted to a WW2 mod or another mod with more vehicles :p

                    I could probably see a year as a more realistic timeline, but you never know. The expectation for detailed models, effects, gameplay, physics, sound and other candy grows alot more with every game that is released and every mod that is developed on those platforms. Those very expectations alone, could easily increase the time to produce a good mod. The game engines only get more complex every time.

                      The biggest prob I see with the mods is the individule selfishness about content (its my tank model I made & nobdy can use unless I say so) so most mod elements have to be done from scratch because nobody & I meen NOBODY will share there mod stuff.

                        I thought some mods were saying they'd be done in a matter of months. I can't wait 2 years for FH, DC(2), or Red Crucible...

                          it won't be too long before some good mods come out BFV was out for just a few months and there were already dozens of mods available matter of fact the game isn't yet 2 years old and there has to be at least 1000 mods for it ranging from mini mods to total conversions

                          I'm looking forward to PoE2 and a few others but right now i wish i could see some custom maps on ranked servers or dice releasing a new mappack with the next patch

                            What are you talking about? The only total conversion mods for BFV were PoE and that WW2 mod. And even those were technically not even half way done.
