My name is cam, and i support this Mod =P

How about at least dropping a hint on what your mod is about. At least the scenario would be nice to know...

206thmodding · 01-19-2005, 02:33 PM

well there are a few mods that are hinting to what it is about if you are interested in working on a highly realistic and very modern mod then here you go. It's not "futuristic" but it's not current day either.

Guru Imakuni · 01-19-2005, 03:19 PM

So what do you actually have done so far?

The idea?

cam · 01-19-2005, 05:12 PM

We are trying to keep it under raps, we have all been playing mods sense 1942 came out, and maybe im the only one but i always hated it when crappy mods came out that had the promise of a good mod, yet not enough time or effort was put into them to make them fun.

So we are trying to keep ours kinda under wraps so that 1. no one steals our idea or anything like that, and 2. we dont want to get anyone's hopes up for a release soon after the game is out, we are thinking of a lot of work being done to this mod to make it the best it can be.

But saying that, ill say its based on the near future, its not a desert combat run off, nor a mod like any other that is out right now. We will not use many vehicles or weapons that are currently behind use, but we will use some. Also, our mod hopes to capture the feeling of an actual war. We are working on a map storyline, along with a mod storyline so that when loading and playing a map you feel like you are part of the army and know what you are fighting for. I know it sounds kinda cheesy now, however we have a very inteligent staff, with a great imagination, nothing with be farfetched, and most of the things you see in our mod will be seen in 15 - 20 years.

You are going to need more to draw people in. I understand your point of view but no one is going to pay much attention. You're going to eventually need a site --> http://dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html use promo code "777" and it knocks the Crazy Domain Insane package down to like $11 for a year. That's like getting free hosting for the price of a domain. I've used them and they're good. It ends this month or February so I'd sign up now even if you don't have a site up for a bit.

cam · 01-19-2005, 07:01 PM

Thanks for that link we will look into a totally seperate site. However for now we have our www.206th.com website. We use the forums for now for mod information, modding, research, textures, everything. We are looking into getting a site, though.

Dont know if your kidding or not on the D-Day New York but im going to have to say no to that. We are trying to make this as realistic as possible (scenario wise) ... if you want some more info though, private message me

DanTesla1 · 01-19-2005, 07:55 PM

Sounds good. I'm a pretty good mapper, although with BF2, it may be different. He he, bet u guys don't remember me...

206thmodding · 01-19-2005, 10:15 PM

I remember you very well. If you want to join up that's cool. The mapping section will not start until the tools (probably BC2 i'd imagine) comes out. But go ahead and send us an email and a few pics of what you've done and projects you've been on. Thanks

Yeah. I"m not interested in joining a clan at the moment, but you're the guys who only use engineers. It was quite the scene. El Alamein, i believe the map was. Anyway, i'll keep my eyes open for BC2. Can't wait.

EDIT: Is Kurtis*W* still with you? Man, he was awsome. If he's still around, tell him to get on Xfire once in awhile. I want to talk to him.

cam · 01-19-2005, 11:28 PM

haha maybe all engineers for that map... did we win? lol..

You should try and join our mod team atleast, we need another good mapper. And Kurtis hasnt been around for a long time

How is that not realistic? I think that would be awsome.. too bad

Caslon · 01-20-2005, 11:35 AM

BF2 isn't even out yet.

Before every new game release, lamers who can't shoot worth a shit are always
promoting messing with a good thing.

Guru Imakuni · 01-20-2005, 07:07 PM

That's exactly why we're holding our breath, Caslon... It isn't anything yet.

Here's an idea. If you guys are making everything on your own and not using any of BF2's art assets then make it for the BF2 demo so anyone can play it.

It may even connect to people with the full game depening on how picky content checks are (eg. it won't work if it scans the BF2 directory for filesizes). Only problem would be manually adding in BF2 patches for the mod that would update the BF2 demo so it could still connect to the full game.

I don't remeber who won.

YOu remember grim? That's a shame about kurt, tho. He was a great player.

206thmodding · 01-20-2005, 08:28 PM

Battlefield did this cool thing of announcing some specifics for the modders who want to start stuff they can. Such as Polycounts, classes, even vehicles and weapons. so we know what's happening. + the engine will be the same in most basic respects allowing experianced people to tweak thier abilities.

And uh Caslon. Don't talk trash man. Quit being a d.

cam · 01-21-2005, 04:50 PM

Hang on, we arnt noobs, we are guys who wanted to make a mod for bf2 and want to get started making research, moddles and sounds before it comes out so we can have a headstart for our mod.

And, im not a stat person, however when you say i cant shoot im going to defend myself:

and if you dont like that stat site then heres bftracks

http://www.bftracks.com/appl/bft/Player/view/3568019

we are promoting a mod that we think people would enjoy, we arnt trying to create a piece of crap noob game. We will be playing bf2 competetivly however it is always fun to have different versions of a game to keep it interesting longer.
