Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

If mods want a ranking system i will be very angry this is what people want to also get away from!ranks = hacks = tards

the game should be fun and enjoyed not a exploiters haven

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

Let me quickly clearup some things that are slightly misunderstood.

The meeting was an initiative of ABR. As with Patch 1.3 a lot of doors were closed for ABR, and we decided to get in contact with DICE asap.

Since ABR Stands or Falls with the Greenlight on ABR from dice, i decided to invite members of the biggest mods to participate, and in case my project ends, they might benefit from this meeting.

Surprised as i was, DICE responded to my question, and the meeting was setup in a VERY short notice.

While i invited most of the the mod-teams, no steady date and time were set for the meeting.

Although all MODS, except POE responded to my call, not every mod-team could participate due to different timezones, and real life issues.

With this meeting, i was hoping to get the both the MOD teams, and DICE closer together, as a result of patch 1.3 and all the problems around that patch.

The meeting was a good step forward and enlighting, for both parties, and a more reasons for team ABR to keep on working on the best Alternative Ranking System in the world.

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

Thats great news for ABR and the Mod teams. Even though a couple MODs might not have been there ATM, it doesnt really matter. The world of bf2 MODs doesnt rest on one or two different teams, and the ones who missed it can catch up at any time, or stay uninvovled, it wont stop progress.

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

Well my biggest worry (as a fan not a modder), having problems with different gamemodes in one maplist, has probably been adressed if the PR team was there.

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

We weren't invited either But It makes sense that they only want a few teams there...

Actually, this would be an issue for several teams. You might be surprised out how many great game modes come out with several different MODs.

The important thing to remember about MODs and ranking systems is that servers wont be blackmailed into using "official servers", lol.

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

I think the main thng they need to get done is real ranking for these mods. Otherwise a lot of people wont play. Not including me, I dont care about rankings.

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

Re: Dice Meets With Mod Teams

Sorry to sound so critical, but my bet is that EA/DICE will make the MOD teams pay to have their own 'stats' server.

No one would ever go for that, it wont happen plain and simple. If there is a simple an effecient way to keep stats and such, then they will do it for the players who care.

There certainly wont be a ranking system that entitles you to weapons and stuff like that. Just for fun and for reference.

Well as far as I know PR is the only released mod that offers different gamemodes all in one package. I know most mods have similar features under development.
