They used a vastly modified Quake 3 engine for the first CoD. he second one was a vastly modified version of that and the one in CoD4 is again a vastly modified version of the one from CoD2. Saying CoD4 runs on a modified Quake 3 engine is like saying Half-life 2 would run on a modified version of Quake 2.

We'll see, I have to get it off the ground first.

Btw, Yoshi what's going to be the name of this mod? I don't think you could name Rainbow Six because of copyright.

I'm not planning a full rip off of rainbow 6 (I do want some creative leeway you know).

id like to help, but im a complete nub when it comes to the ut engine
if you can, i would suggest the crytek engine, since the playerbase is relatively equal for both games, and the graphics are better on crysis ,and by the time this mod gets released, 95% of pcs can play in in some way

i can offer some ideas:)

-no crosshairs, free aim, 3D ironsights
-slight free aim in ironsights
-mostly small maps
-hitscan, no ballistics, since itll take too long and the maps are small
-penetration (like cod4)
-a first person cover system
-single player?
-let noise be a factor(like americas army, but not that exaggerated)
-slow weapon switch (not like RO)
-mantling, and absolutley no jumping
-movement speed is 'just right' imo no games done this before, there all to slow or too fast (realsim wise, ro is a little too slow, insmod:p is way too fast)
i know that all of these have been done before, but still

i can help out with PR if u want

You nublet Yoshi is the master of the PR :p

I would say Unreal 3.0 engine because I am personally biased (due to this awesome game which uses Unreal Technology) and also nearly every action game that will be released in the near future is powerd by the UE 3.0 that means more people will be attracted by this engine.
Crysis can only offer shiny graphics.
Judging from the playerbase probably modding for HL2 would be the best and you can find a few more pro arguments for the Source engine but also one big contra argument.: NO !!!

See, I have the same impression about UE3. Judging from the few games I played so far it seems to be little more than a prettier UE2.5.

CryEngine has more natural environments (although this is admittedly unimportant for a R6-urban setting- type of game), better physics and projectile weapons out of the box (iirc).

But yeah, for a game similar game to Raven Shield, UE3 should do it. Afterall the R6 games run on that engine already.

I don't think this project will take off sadly :(

Uh there is no project, hes just asking if anyone would be interested in starting up a new mod. Yoshi apparently has lots of experience with these things so I wouldn't doom him to failure before he has even begun!
