Americas Army killer mod

[EL Swine]

Hi guys.

This might have been brought up before?
Anyway. I was until I found RO an avid fan of AA, but the last patch was a curse.

Tripwire has done magic with the unreal engine compaird to the multi Million $$ sponsored US army development team.

I love RO so much more than AA and I'm sertain that most AA players would Love to play a modern type of FPS under the wings of RO.
There are no modding going on in AA right now, altough they've said they will support it in the future, but most if not all of this new user created content must be aproved by the Army developers.
I was thinking that, a modern type of warfare mod could help to attract players from the AA community, witch is, I think, second only to CS in size.

RO is basicaly an AA player's wet dream come true.
So why not give it a shot and see if we perhaps in the prosses of it can help Tripwire to attract some new customers.
It would of coerce in any case be a fun mod for this community too.

I love soldier sims, its not important to me what year it represents, allthough I do preffer the slow phase the old rifles and tanks.
By the time we are finsihed with a mod like this, many other RO player would probably like to try something new and "modern" for a change.

I can do all the sound modding for this mod.

Give it some tought

Not sure there are the resources do something like this within the community atm, there are already like 4 mods going on, with like 1 animator rofl.

I think this would be cool as well, but to do it you would need to bring some people on aboard outside the community.

I don't think this would be as hard as it seems because the Unreal SDK is fairly well known, and that's basically the RO SDK. So if you can find people in AA community and convert them to RO to help you out on this you could get it going .

But remember this would be a lot harder in scope than the mods going on atm, because you would have to build two sides that are totally different, and can't really bum off the german/russian equipment that already exists.

i liked AA also before i knew RO, but toward the end when i stopped playing it, it got real *****y with that stupid punkbuster crap, if you stopped playing for 2 weeks, you knew that you would go through hell to get the game to work again.

you got major hackers, and teamkillers running around in that game... not sure if i want them here also

I think you should take a look at Project Reality for BF2 instead - it's soo cool and you see a lot of teamwork on most of the servers:

Yea if done right it would great and i'd defiantly play it but as other have said we have 4 mods in the making allready.

 

[Murphy]

Maybe there are already a few mods for AA in the making that could be ported over to RO. At least the models (players, weapons, map-objects), textures (skins), BSP in levels and sounds should work.

Psst... you do know Ramm worked on America's Army many years ago?

 

[Jono]

Da Da Da Daaa


Or for those of you who can't make music from words just play V in morse code....You'll find it horribly alike beethovens..fifth, was it?

 

[EL Swine]

I just checked the status on AA and read that.
America

As for playing BF2.. No thanks, its "Suuuki" to play as infantry.

I was not talking about BF2, I said Project Reality ...it's nothing like vanilla BF2!

Sabu, one of our level designers, also used to work for AA

 

[DirtyRat]

I really dont see that an RO mod set in modern times would work when you have other excellent realistic shooters like ArmA and AA to choose from.

The mods currently being made for RO are in WW2 because we know the people who enjoy RO will most definately enjoy the same gameplay but with different theatres of war, weapons, armies etc. So its an easier sell...

Also I agree with Makhno the project reality mod for BF2 is very nice, its just a shame EA dont support these mod teams by allowing them to be ranked like their own servers, if they did - the mod teams and mappers would get much more publicity

 

[Yoshiro]

I on the other hand could see a modern take on the RO systems working well, however I think most of the people who are into modding have allready picked one or more of the teams making mods currently in development.

The argument that a modern type of mod for RO is to no use, since there are already other good games in the same genre, is not valid, if it was then we wouldn't have RO would we.

AA is good but not very mod friendly, it’s also very much one sided so to say.
ArmA is not so great any more, but I’m sure it will be better with time.
BF2 is impressive, I watched a few clips of the Project reality mod, and it really looks great.

It’s easier for us to make something that "looks" like AA than anything that resembles BF2 & ArmA.

What are AA players complaining about the most? AI and laughable vehicle physics.
Well Ramm might not be as smart as his real counterpart either, but he’s a rocket scientist compared to the imbeciles they call AI in Americas Army.

AA got 8million members and its using the same engine as RO but RO does it better where it matters the most, so think about it.

I personally think that RO is an Americas Army player's wet dream come true.
Maybe not for all but am sure it would be for quite many.

I was thinking a mod with a 70s 80s early 90s theme, infantry with tank and artillery support.
Why not try to make a “Bridge Crossing” look alike. Just an idea ;-)

I'll make the bullets CRACK and not swiiiish by your head

 

[EL Swine]

Just poping in to say i'm still very much in favour of making this mod
Oh and don't forget, even the devs like the idea

RO is king.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

AA killer mods are being released everyday as AA just plainly sucks!

 

[SiC-Disaster]

i want the dutch army with Diemaco C7's

 

[Bluehawk]

It would be cool if AA could let you set your nationality so my camo wouldn't look retarded anymore and my m249 would change its name to C9.

 

[SgtH3nry3]

I heard from a reliable source, that the former Infiltration development team might start developing a modern-warfare mod once the UE3 version of RO is released.

But I haven't heard anything from themselves.

Shame they didn't already start with the current RO version.
