Shirow over at hl.net has posted a follow up to his CS clone article... Here's the normal snip:
Honestly, every single mod article in the world takes a random number and multiplies it by 4 and gets the current about of [insert theme here] mods.. There's no way in hell 60 CT mods are being produced.. And even so, what should be considered 'in production'? Just a plan and a site? Hmm.Shadow
THANK GOD U POSTED THAT... but now i pray for u.. for u will be spammed by hundreds of lamers...however u speak the truth EXACTLY!!! right from QTF (wich i played/still play) all the way up till CS Clones who copy almost exactly EVERY GUN THAT IS IN CS... actually i want to see a good old fashion deathmatch mod.. not TEAMBASED like every single mod is now... i mean even AHL DM is a good breath from the drowning CS Clones... i guess that CS is par... cause evey other mod gets compared to it... graphics wise it is good.... but i mean come on... half the reason FA doesnt have a big a following is cause of the graphics.. i hung out in that room from before the mod was released.... and gradually lamers complaining about graphics ROLLED IN.. i mean OMG.. tons of tons of them....
Well, pretty much as soon as ANY mod gets released, the lamers descend.. its a fact of life. Personally, Firearms didn't do much for me, but it was a nice breath of fresh air from all the CS clones - at least they tried to do something new.
