Basic realism minimod sometime after BF2 release?

EvilCookie · 06-04-2005, 01:46 PM

Hello PR team

Seeing as there are many realism fans in the BF2 community, I'm wondering if you guys would like to do a realism minimod. I ask this because I feel that once BF2 hits retail its going to be fun for the first couple of months. Though sooner or later the arcadiness gamestyle is going to take its toll on the fun factor for us. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in making a minimod that changes the basic weapon ballistics, ammo load outs, etc. You know, just a little teaser your fans can play around with so they do not have to wait 6-8 months before a full complete beta heads out with new vehicles, armies and the likes. Anyways, what do you guys on the team think? Same questions goes to the PR fans, voice your opinions.

Thanks.

Most people I knoe take the other route. Start with Arcade, and then get into realism. Happened to me and a bunch of friends, now we all like realism more than arcade by a ton.

An 'insta quick' kinda mod that is just a bunch of code tweaks would be nice.

Any devs want to chime in about this?

This question, as well as many presented in the past, use the dev tools as a lynchpin for the answer. It's very hard to provide a schedule or a definitive answer without having had a chance to experiment with the mod tools.

A mini-mod is a great idea to satiate the reality community's hunger for realism in BF2 (I'm right there with ya'), however, we would have to consider whether or not the time spent on developing a mini-mod will impact our overall workflow and schedule. If we release it, prior to the mod's first public release, would it properly reflect the final product?

There's quite a bit to consider, so at this point the best answer I can provide is a "We'll see." I am certain that once we are able to get our hands on the mod tools, we will be able to talk about your idea in greater detail.

I hope that sheds some light on the issue for you.

It did Dre. Thank you for your informative post. "We'll see" soon enough I suppose

To clarify on this position, our first release will be 0.1 which will include the British Military and many realism alterations. A minimod, although a good idea, will not be released for the reasons Dre mentioned above.

hope you guy will get a good balance between fun and good realism... many realistic ideas are cool but no practiable in a game, specially on a public server.

problem is that you need a public community, before you can enter the clancommunitys... which play with tactics...

is here a list with the realism feature of this mod? we try out some more realistiv ideas in OPK on BFV - was a desaster.

but good on BF2 is, that there are more realistiv feature, like running, ironsights.

i played bf2, and it´s less arcade then BF42/BFV.
