Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

if you love doing your work, then there is no excuse for sub par achievement... if you cant put your best into it, i wouldnt bother otherwise even the time you save cutting corners is wasted in the long run... back to it brother!!!!

LOL! I am putting my back into it. To tell you the truth I am a mapper. I did the skin on the MUTT as my first skin ever of any kind. I am an infant at this skinning\ modelling\coding thing. Baby Steps. :)

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

I say great job! It isn't easy to make a mod, and all of you bashing their work is just unneccessary. You can't bash it till you have done it! You don't like it, get over to their forums and help out! AND IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF THEIR POSTS THEY SAY THESE ARE WORKS IN PROGRESS!!!! They are just letting the community in on what they are doing....so stop you whining and be happy we have another mod out there!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think EoD are doing a fantastic job, it truly does require a lot of skill and dedication to even get a mod of the ground. I will not judge the mod until it is released, until then I wish you EoD guys the best of luck and can't wait to give this mod a go!

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

I think they look fine, and they arent even done yet sooooooo. EOD you guys have always rocked our worlds and have never let us down. I loved ya in 1942 and I love ya now! Dont listen to people who talk graphics and other crap, the jeeps look great and nothing looks pasted on. Constructive critisism is fine and needed, but lay off guys! The mod is not out yet and you havent played it yet!

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

You're going to honestly tell me that everyone runs their games at max settings?
You're also going to tell me that you are going to sit there and look at/examine every single skin, model, map?

No, you're more likely to play the game, without giving a darn about wether or not skins look "high detail."

Never said anything of the sort. I said clearly that people typically base their download descisions on graphics. If the pictures they see are not enticing, they will pass.

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

Not everyone can skin as good as me :P Then again you can just look at our updates every week and see us getting better and better. You all must remember that this is EOD. It has had some of the best renders and skins in the community (yes even over 1918's). However, I kinda am dissappointed with this latest one. But hell, that kind of crap happens everyday. Now I know they are a bit slower in pumping out updates, but let's not whine about this latest one not up to par. Instead we should offer them our praise for getting their work done mateys!

Now, where are the clubs?

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

You all must remember that this is Forgotten Hope.

Its EoD :p

Im just hoping the Mod is fun to play, if not then well I might have something to complain about. The skin is just a tad blurry though, otherwise its pretty good.

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

I also think the skins look a little plain.

No, EoD has consistently had some of the WORST skins and models out of any large team modding the Battlefield series. Anyone remember the abortion that was the EoD BFV mod? They actually replaced already existing models and skins with their own lower quality ones. They used few of the new features available in BFV effectively, realistically they could have become the ForgottenHope of BFV, did they? No, because everyone (at least in the group of people I play with) was put off by the quality of the mod, it used to have fairly good gameplay in BF42, but somehow that disappeared in the BFV version, not even the models were improved. It's not like it's hard to improve over BFV's gameplay either.

I laugh when I think back to an argument I had with an ex-EoD skinner who was attempting to talk people into not buying BFV because it was crap and would have a way lower population of players than BF42 with EoD. He even denied the idea that being an Ex-EoD team member made him biased and unable to comment fairly on the quality of BFV (this was before the game was released too). Do you guys still have 14 year olds on your team?

While BFV _WAS_ crap, it still had a higher population of players than EoD for '42.

Overall the most disappointing thing about EoD has been the slow improvement in their models and skins, it seems that for every two steps they take forward, they take one back. They've had some interesting innovations over the years, but geez guys, fix your models eh?

Also to everyone saying that unless we're modellers we can't comment on the quality of screenshots, we don't have to be chefs to know that the soup sucks.

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

Those models are foul.. I won't be playing this mod... look like bfvietnam's graphics. Maybe its just they graphic cards but the least they could do is turn the graphics up for the pictures..

Are you kidding?, the good old EoD for BF42 was an example of well done graphic work for the other mod teams, in those early days of BF we were like babies learning in the moding kindergarden and the EoD screens astonished us and encouraged us to improve and reach that level of quality.

This said I think the EoD team must improve the stuff they are creating for BF2, it's lacking detail in models and skins. It's perfectly posible to create good gameplay with good graphics, those are not contradictory concepts. And if you show publicly screens I sugest you acept the feedback, even if is negative, and stop with the excuses "it's WIP", "I am moding for fun", "Can you do it better?" or "only gameplay is important", just acept it and go back to the drawing board to improve what public thinks need to be improved. Sorry for the rant but I loved the good old EoD and I really hope you will be able to recreate that great mod in the new engine.

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

Hmm, what exactly do people think is low-quality about these models? The jeep seems fine to me, and while the character models may be somewhat less detailed than the vanilla-BF2 models, I wouldn't call them terrible.

Sorry, just curious as to what exactly people are commenting on.

Re: Eve of Destruction Mod Update 4

EOD for 1942 was one of the top 5 mod I've played. Yeah the graphics aren't the best, but graphics only get you so far. For instance, POE for BFV LOOKED awesome, but the gameplay never blew me away. EOD for BF42 didn't look the best either, but the gameplay was unbelieveable.

Besides, it looks like the killer of these pics is the fact that the image was probably resized, and .jpg compression really made a mess. This pics on the EOD site are at 700 X 650, you really need a 1024 X 768 to get the full effect.

You're making a mod, not fighting a war.
