Here, Have a Mod

Warsow is delicious quakeworld speed with some wall-jumping-for-n00bs tricks glued on. The latter gimmick is kind of like t-ball: everybody gets a hit. ;-)

Great fun ricocheting around some very good level design. Downside--weapons look, sound and feel a little dorky.

I almost want to get UT just to play Hollow Moon.

I am not that bothered if anyone answers, because I am going to google it now anyway, but WHAT THE FUCK IS GARRY'S MOD?

The name makes it sound shit, and since I haven't bothered to find out about it before, I've stayed clear.

It's rather a nondescript name, so I don't understand why everyone is expected to know about it. All I know is that it's called Garry's mod and is therefore probably made or led by someone named Garry.


...oh, it's for playing about with physics. OK. Suppose it's better than another CTF, TF or CS rip off mod :)

Great mod for Thief 2.

It's around 600mb and there's cinematics and voice acting + new weapons like ice arrows and confusion arrows.

This mod for Operation Flashpoint caught my eye a few weeks ago:

Dinosaurs in Operation Flashpoint. I consider the game an FPS in the way you consider Tribes and Battlefield FPS games, but one with great depth and amazing scale still unbeaten, which is what makes this mod special. The dinosaurs are as large as they should be.

The OPF modding community has been around since the game was released and is extremely strong and dedicated, and just plain awesome. Extremely wellproduced material out there, created by a good and as far as I know dramaless world of gamers.

(insert screenshot of a raptor standing on top of a T80 tank here)

I'd post the web site for the mod I've been working on, Empires, but the site got hacked today by a spammer who used an exploit in one of our php scripts to send out spam for penis enlargement pills.

Anyone remember a mod for Quake 3 that featured mecha combat? Can't remember the name but I quite liked it. Well done. Anyway, I would love to see mecha in a Quake4/Doom 3 engine mod.

Tremulous was made by someone who played Gloom, a mod for Quake 2. It is based on that and was in development long before Natural Selection was...just to clarify.

Natural Selection, however, claims they were not influenced by either of these mods, and is completely original. In fact, if you mention the word "Gloom" on the NS boards, you instantly get banned. Doesn't matter in what context you say it.

Tremulous isn't Linux only. Timbo (it's coder) and I work on a triple platform version of quake 3 (http://www.icculus.org/quake3/).

(site is a bit out-dated, but thats because were busy making the mod :) )

http://dystopia-game.com

Our initial 1 map "demo" release was made a month ago.

Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

The player will be immersed in action packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and implants, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal we're making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

Heh, good timing :)
