Hi everyone,
I was browsing the mod forums and I began thinking - if there are so many of us who feel that RO2 was not what the ROOST fans wanted, why don't we make a mod for ourselves ? What I'm imagining is a total repackaging of RO2 from the base game. We could:
> Collaborate on designing one, and only one, realism mode. Making sure it is compatible with all game types.
> Remove character/weapon progression, historically inaccurate weapons
> Redesign splash screens / some menu items to get rid of the "action" flavor. (that opening splash of the elite german soldier with a bayonetted mkb42 makes me shudder - how about some riflemen in a realistic setting, without the flashy graphic design?)
> Try to find the best of both worlds - try and bring RO2 back to the historically accurate, tactical, and hardcore game ROOST was, while keeping some of the new features (like the cover system).
> We could add features/content as we see fit, but more or less this mod tries to strengthen the game's core.
I was thinking we could call the mod: "Red Orchestra: Stalingrad 42-43" .. maybe we could even get it as a mod on Steam ?
I know there's already alot of debate as to what RO2 should be. I guess all i'm proposing is that, if TWI wants to make their game - why don't we make our own ?
