Do you like playing mods?

[kamikazee]

I like most of the mods (havent played powerball) but the rest I did.
Can’t wait for PoP tbh.

I do want to see it, but they just keep us waiting… What I do not considder as ‘respect to their fanbase’.

Patience my friend.
If you are a modder you will know how hard it is to make a total conversion and also that you only want to release something that is worth releasing.

Heh. Ever seen their teaser videos dating years back? They must have a huge level of ‘quality control’ there…
I do agree it takes time to make something big, but due to their amount of people and resources it’s astonishing they don’t get it done up to a certain point…

Only pure ETPro is acceptable to me.

[squadjot]

if ET, its etpro -only-!

[Florisjuh]

I think there are just a few mods which match the quality of ET, which are True Combat Elite and Enemy Territory Fortress. Mods like FalckonET seem to be new, but gameplay is usually the same as with normal ET, not to mention FalckonET has some crappy bugs (Well it is still beta…)
Mods like ETPRO and ETPUB make the game a lot more fun to play, while you don’t get the feeling you’re playing an entirely different game, and they dont really waste gameplay in a negative way.

I think playing in a 30 players etpub server is just as fun as playing in a 16 slot etpro stopwatch server, altrough you play the game entirely different.

I don’t care about the mod - I just play ET.
But mods, new maps and skinpacks etc. give ET more diversity, which make a great game even better.

About FalckonET: I’m closely watching this mod, even trying to contribute something and I can say the gameplay changes a bit by changing the weapon handling. (See recoil, iron sights and gun sway)
Jaquboss allso got rid of the irritating “knife-kick”-bug, so version 0.4.5 can be played for a longer time.

Hmm. I’ve been really isolating myself from mods. 95% of my time as an ET player has been with ETPro. I’ve accidently tried Shrub, which I hated, and that’s it. I’d quit ET after a couple of months if it hadn’t been for ETPro.

I only play on ETPub servers that have limitations placed on medics (can’t pick up their own medpacks, etc). I almost quit ET because of the constant abuse of the overpowered Medic class. Medics vs Medics or getting slaughtered because I wasn’t a medic just got old. We might as well call the non-modded version RTCW:Medic Territory.

[Nail]

not saying this applies to you Lt. but alot of people I’ve heard complaining about medic armies play on 40 - 60 player etpub servers (used to be shrub), on a server that size, there’s always going to be lots of medics, lots of field ops, 2 engineers and the rest pf soldiers and sco’s. I just try stick to severs with 20 or less player limit, seems to work for most part

Hah, the really funny thing about the self pack limit means it requires more medics. A medic who can’t heal himself dies quickly, so now you need 2 medics in any group that actually wants to be effective.

There are sane ways to nerf medics, but that isn’t one. Of course, if people didn’t insist on playing mega-long campaigns with XP save, the medics wouldn’t be much of a problem.

As far for the topic, I prefer either basic ET (usually etpro, but etpub without the silly stuff turned on is OK) or a mod which has a specific gameplay vision behind it (it could be a TC like ETF or TC:E, or something like OLTL RTCW), not just a bunch of random features someone thought would be “fun”

I dislike most sound / skin packs. For the most part, they don’t fit that well with the original content, and don’t add anything to gameplay. Sound packs that are supposed to be funny tend to get annoying real quick. Of course, there are exceptions… like the dancing daisy mine flags!!!

[Lt_Jones]

I only play on 20 or smaller servers. It’s when the entire enemy team (minus one or two fields ops) goes medic so they can medpack themselves after every firefight. Other classes already have the disadvantage of lower max health vs medics.

[Nail]

had 2 good real life lol’s in this game:
1: first time I played Northpole with xmas hats
2: played on a server that had pot leaves for mine markers, saw a goup of team mates standing around one while flamer tried to light it :lol:

[CyburK]

yeah the medic is a little bit overpowerd but dont forget there is a panzer out there
those extremes in the game force you to play as a team and make ET the fun that it is.

besides i like to play etpro the most. the other ones seem not too inovative better or more usefull to me.

hrrhr yeah xmas heats are funny but suck in game cause everyone looks the same on the first look.

[Lt_Jones]

I’ve come across some servers with lamer admins that disable panzers. Try going against a team of rambo medics without panzers.
