So, when will the first REAL mod be released

[BRODIEMAN2k4]

When do you think the first REAL mod will be released. Yes i know theres a few mods, but there pretty much all "Fool around with the physics" or something that doesnt really change the game that much.

So when do you think? 3 months? 6 months? a year?

Within the next month or two....

 

[frusion]

give it some time they will come out

 

[ralfyboy]

too many threads about this. just be patient. do want some "OK" mod now? or an awesome almost valve developed quality mod?

i rather have the latter and wait half a year

I've been in the hl2 mod comm. for a while. Many mods for HL2 have an enormous production value, they're pretty much on the level of commercial titles. That's why it's taking a while

 

[Ennui]

Well, I expect too see early public betas within the next month or two, full releases of good mods in 3-4 months, and excellent mods before the year is over.

The process of mods for a game is like this, we're only in the first stages of the mod scene for HL2. First only small changes are released, but as time passes, more and more advanced things and mods are being released. It does not happen over a night, it'll happen so slowly and progressively you won't know when a "REAL" mod is released.

Don't expect the big professional announced mods to come out anytime soon.

I'll second that, way too many people are picturing SC's appearance within weeks, or the logic-defying release of any number of impressive-looking modifications.

Besides, define "real"- you could argue that the initial releases of all manner of mods (as Harij pointed out, they tend to be used for basic tests) don't classify as real, even if they're made public for experimentation purposes.

Excuse me, but what is a mod and what does it do?

Counter Strike is a mod and it earns you lots and lots of green

 

[jacksel92]

I dont know much

And I suppose you were born with the knowledge, DarkStar?
We all have to learn at some point.

A mod is a modification - a new, unofficial game based on the mechanics of another game. Counter-Strike is a mod for the original Half-Life, for example. I'm sure someone else can explain it far better than me.

Yo chill dude. I wasn't making fun of him AT ALL, I was just expressing a measured amount of exasperation and amusment.

Jesus.....

Mod = Modification. Counter-Strike is a mod of Half-Life, it uses the HL engine. CS: Source uses Half-Life 2's engine dubbed source.

I can't believe you didn't know that assuming you use Steam.

 

[TeckBlade]

Well it won't be very long before public beta for SC2 becuz look they're probably already done with the SP maps becuz they're working on their own and they have the Gordon model now. SC2 will be one of the first released mods becuz it is HL2 with co-op multiplayer. Heck, we got a real MP mod just now (Racer).

 

[xcellerate]

all i want is a mod that is equivalent to how addictive tfc was to hl1

 

[Pesmerga]

You can't just poop out a mod in 3 months. Everyone's still experimenting with the engine, understanding its limits.

 

[Kitfox]

Valve gave the impression that Source has "Limitless Potential..."

I heard the guy's from the City13 mod said that they're mod will be released in about 6-8 months! Hope some other mods come out sooner.
