Hmm, I was browsing the internet and suddently I see a UT2003 9-11 mod.

9-11 Survivor is a game mod based on the Unreal Game engine. The retail version of Unreal Tournament 2003 will be required to play this mod

Because it happends to the almighty good USA? We all play WW2 games. that was was 10.0000 times worser then the 9-11 attacks... I don't know why it should be tasteless... there are plenty of worser things in mind then the 9-11 attacks...

There are plenty of people that want to play this mod.. gosh I want to play the smart survivors that all jumped out of the winodws :bounce: :dork:

i agree with what are you trying to say, i personally dont want to play this mod, not because i am morally opposed to it, it just looks really damn boring. im not anti-american, i like (laughing at) dub-ya, but he really does seem like a pupet sometimes. 9/11 is awful thing that happened, but at least the americans arent trying to pretend it never happened, like the germans are with WWII
 
It is tasteless because it happened 2 years ago. WW2 didn't affect our generation, we don't remember anything, most people don't care. I live in California and I don't really care about 9/11, but some people do, so I don't see ANY point in this kind of mod so soon.
 
isnt there supposed to be a waiting peroid after a tragic event before your allowed to make money off it? i think its 36 years or something...
 
I agree with Reak. It happend too recently to not be considered tasteless. That image of a player falling from the building is disturbing. Not to mention, this game has no replayability. We know how the game ends, and there weren't too many ways out of the building. How could this mod possibly be entertaining?

The first I thought when I saw it live was "they had it coming"... I am as much against US politics as I can be :)

But, its still tasteless. Would anyone here want to play a game with SOF2 dismemberment system, where you play an Iraqi guerilla soldier on a quest to kill occupying american soldiers and blow them up/slice their throats/shoot their arms and legs of? Hey it actually sounds like a good game!! Maybe you can rescue Saddam from an enemy elite force attack!! :x
 
i don't see how this can relate to ww2 games. are there games where you play a concentration camp jew who has to try and survive the random executions and gas chambers? it's the same thing as this. this isn't armed combatants fighting it out, this is civilians being driven to the slaughter. are we going to see video games where the player is an afghani or iraqi civilian who tries to dodge allied bombs? I think not. civilian casualties are the worst part of war and I think it is completely tasteless that it's being glorified in this manner.
 
festivalman is right. Officially declared wars are very different than horrific terrorists attacks on civilians.
 
Comparing this to WW2 battles is idiotic. WW2 had one group vs another. This mod would be people vs... a building that's about to fall/has fallen. Like another post said, how about a concentration camp mod! That's just along the same lines.
 
In this mod you don't play the 'bad guy' but the 'good guy'. Trying to survive :)

I do care about 9-11 but it was so far away from my room... I just say that there are plenty of people want to play this surviving mod :)
 
I live near Chicago, and I remember being scared shitless of a plane going through one of our towers.

I don't dwell on it though. I wouldn't play the mod, not because I find it offensive, but because it sounds lame anyway.
 
you people are offened to easily, our generation is full of a bunch of offended liberal pussies, who will sue the opposing baseball team that "ran up the score" on your lame ass 5yr old liitle league team, "there are no winners!", oh **** you! ITS JUST A GAME NO HARM NO FOUL, and for what its worth i was there, yes it was scary, but more people die from the flue each yr, would a flue mod offended you? And the means of death dont make a diff with me, they're STILL DEAD. RELAX people, too ****in politicaly correct poeple, oh i have a BLACK friend, yah i said black and not african american, im sorry i offended all you guilty white people, relax. Thats all i have to say, its out of control, you people are offended to easy, and when you are it makes you uncomfortable so you have to change it, did you know more kids are going to yoga now, because little league poses too much preasure of winning, jesus, the coming generation is going to be awful. I hate people.
 
I think that the concentration camp example is entirely accurate. Tasteless mods like this give video games and gamers a bad name.
If I remember correctly, a Columnbine mod was made by some guy a few years back for HL1 and all it did was cause an uproar.

To the people supporting this mod:
If you or your family were murdered, would you want to see some lonely nerd re-creating the event as a game for fun? I wouldn't.
 
Can i borrow your half-a-month-old-thread-dredging tool please ;)
 
A HL2 9/11 survival mod would actually work alot better i'd think...

Better physics, facial animations, and you could make it a single player mod rather than multi. (if it is a multiplayer sorry i didnt read too much about it)

I think a HL2 mod would make it much more emotional... you could make it to commemerate that day and remember it.. maybe even ... live it again...

and then you could add like.. cutscenes where its like when you're going down the stairs, the screen flashes white and it shows a news broadcast of the disaster or something like that with the HL2 monitor thing...

its a good idea and i dont see why people would not like it?... unless you were playing the kamikazee then yeah... im sure thered be some objections to that..

Well, good luck
 
I'd play it because im interested, but for alot of people its a touchy subject

If you did make it, just expect to get a few e-mails along the lines of "This is not funny, it is not a game, my dad died on the 9-11 attacks."
 
Personally, I do think it's kinda tasteless - this is too close for some people to handle. And it's NOT the same as having a WW2 game. The equivalent would be having a Dresden/Blitz mod and that WOULD be tasteless, not to mention not particularly good gameplay. Max Payne had a level that was intense with a restaurant burning down and that was kind of intense but I wouldn't bother basing an entire mod around it.
