silent thunder

[spearhead 0]

my mod, silent thunder, for the last six months has been trying to make a rainbox six in the HL2 source engine. however, we have suffered from the low levels of intrest from the HL2 community (who only seem intrested in hl1 mods switched over to source) and the lack of ppl wanting to help. therefor weve decided to have a change of theme. we intend to become a mod network hosting several mods (mostly mods set up by us but we might take on some freelance mods, offer hosting ect..) for several different games. one mod we intend to set up is a falklands conflict mod in source, for this we wud be working closley with the operation flashpoint falklands mod. this is only an idea at the mo so i was wondering if you lot liked the idea?

Unfortunately other commitments prevent me from doing much modding these days so I can't offer any help. However, I would love to see a good mod of the Falklands conflict and HL2 just might be a very good engine to do it on. I've been surprised how little is being done with HL2 as well. It may be just that the more complex games become, the more time consuming they become to mod and people have to work for a living etc. Far Cry is a good case in point. For example, I can only begin to imagine the amount of time and effort it took to produce the fabulous Obsidian Edge mod - and that's without a SP component.

Anyway, good luck with it. I'm certainly hanging on to my copy of HL2 in the hope of some good mods coming out in the future.

I think Jack is probably right about how much time it takes to make a mod nowadays. People seem to expect more in mods and want them to look just like a retail product would. This is great but sometimes it feels like there is no room for the little guy making a single map or weapon skin who only gets his mod downloaded 50 times. But I guess that's for another topic. Good luck with the mod. It certainly sounds ambitious. Have you thought of trying to bring modders from different games together? It might be difficult but bringing gamers and modders together who commonly enjoy tactical military first person shooters for example would love to have a site where they can share work and contribute. This way you might also have a larger userbase. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, good luck!
