Resistance and Liberation Update

[soulescape]

Soldiers in that time period were not trained to operate a pistol with both hands. The pistol was also more of a last resort thing. It wasn't used as a tactical weapon as it is today. When a soldier fired the pistol, it was normally the kind of "blind fire" where you point and shoot by stretching out your arm.

meh its neat, not that grand. I hope it doesn't look better then dod source though.

I use to be like omokrone or who be it. Then I played BIA, and now if i get the chance to play some ww2 games all right.

I dunno if ive ever played a bad one. BF, BIA, a metal of honor or two, their all fun.

But has a right to say what he wants, and to be an asshole if he feels. Forums are for open expression. These forums in particular people will come in and rip mods for all kinds of reasons, he has a good point that ww2 is overdone, would be like someone announcing tommorrow their doing a zombie mod.

remember who all flamed the crap out of that mod , incomming source or whatever it was. 130 posts of shere destruction. If its ok to go after halo, its ok to go after ww2

FREEDOM BABY

That's not the point. He acted like a douche, as Ennui indicated.

Looks a bit CODish, but it's cool. I like COD

CoD looks too much like the original Second World War.

I DEMAND LASER RIFLES

Seriously though, WWII only had a certain amount of weapons, we can't keep on putting innovative stuff in forever

I acted like a douche aparently (means "shower" in my native language im confused ). I only said what I said because I myself study game design at uni and we would get a massive ass kicking for doing some WWII game, and when I see talented people making the most beautiful (and yet comon) static mesh I just think like saying to them "wtf are you doing, theres a million of those out there, you have the talent to nail all the other mods and get spoted by game companies and yet you d rather do something that everybody else does and go for the easy way", thats all, at the end of the day of course I find this mod really nice and well done, but I have played WWII games before and I just feel like I m looking for something fresh, and I m sure I m not the only one. hope that got things sorted.

I actually agree with a number of points there. After playing games for some 20 years, WW2 has become cliche'd, and isn't what I look for in a game anymore.

You only think it has no more potential left because most game companies DO take the easy way with WW2 and provide nothing new. But there is PLENTY of gameplay WW2 has to offer that no company has ever ventured into yet, and THIS mod is venturing a bit into that with their amount of realism. How dare you say they took the easy way out. That's quite an insult. :frown: I suggest you leave your harsh opinions to yourself unless you have some proper reasoning as to why you think WW2 is a dead genre. These people work hard to bring you a free mod and you go passing it off as scrap before you even play it!

I know of 2 other large games coming that are set in WW2 that offer original gameplay aspects.

Its not that your opinion is wrong omikron... its how you said it. Especially in your second post (which is a double post btw). You were being utterly sarcastic and rude to the modders who deserve much more respect than that. And a douche is a turd (from a horse i think).

 

[soulescape]

Pretty off topic.

Many of the developers are facisnated by WW2 and are developing the mod as a tribute and dedication. Sure WW2 has been done before, but so has pretty much everything else. As you are studying "game design" (good lucking getting a career in that field) you should be aware of this.

Take a look at this game - http://int.games.1c***/faces_of_war/
If you played their previous product (Soldiers of WW2), you'd know that it was pretty innovative. The destruction and physics in that game were fantastic. Now they're taking it a few steps further in the sequel.

There is also "The Pacific War" mini series being produced from the creators of Band of Brothers. A theater that hasn't been severly touched on, but is still WW2.

WW2 will always be a part of our history, and will always be a part of video games and its history. Medal of Honor proved this, then Call of Duty re-proved this. We will continue to see WW2 games every now and then as technology grows. Imagine in a few years a game engine that can handle real-time geometry deformation and simulate realistic liquid flow, wind, even more advanced physics, and hair. We'll see WW2 arise again and open up even more new opportunities. So give a little love to the WW2 side, even if it's already been done before.

P.S. Omikron, did you get your name from the game "Omikron: The Nomad Soul"? I liked that game, and bought it upon release.

Cheers

 

[omikron]

good post.
yeah I got it from that game.

 

[polyguns]

hehe, douche kinda means shower in my language too. my lord im suprised noone has had alot of fun with that yet

one thing about ww2 games, is a crapload of content is made OVER AND OVER AND OVER, whereas it would be nice to see more origional content made. While gameplay is a great point, it would imo be a bit better nowadays to apply all that gameplay work into some new genre

 

[omikron]

polyguns, which mod do you work for again ? your name rings a bell.

 

[Solaris]

OMG there changing the colour from 465747363 to 465747362 and they were doing sooo well!!!

On a serious note, this mod seriously looks hardcore, this is what I want, I'd pay 30quid this, it looks ownage.!!!

 

[Linear]

Awesome!

Looks like a solid mod, can't wait to see what is different about this WW2 mod, aside from the others. But anyways good work.

 

[polyguns]
