If RS is of high enough quality, it will be further polished and released as an official addon. Kind of like Counter Strike and Red Orchestra was... both started as mods, but both went retail.

I don't get why some people think they are entitled to a product just because it's a mod. Modders spend A LOT of time on their mods, sometimes to the point where they have to quit their real jobs. Is it not their choice to charge whatever they want for it? If you don't want to pay - don't buy it.
The idea that something should be free just because it's based on something else is just ridiculous. It's great that some modders want to work for free, just don't expect that every modder will.

no. but i dont see it being any better than DH though and that was free. we'll see though.
also considering you can find RO2 for $20, im curious as to what the mod price would be; $2.99?
Whatever happened to doing something because you enjoyed it? I enjoyed mapping and modding for CS, i would never ask anyone to pay me for my work.
which is why i wont buy a glorified mod.
But hey, its a capitalistic world, do what you like. I was just throwing out my 0.02cents

Well, I don't want to get paid for this mod, but I did have an idea for a mod that I wanted to make and sell it as an add-on. The reason I wanted to do that was because I wanted to actually hire mappers, since I'm a programmer. Finding mappers that are willing to put the time and effort it takes to make professional maps is really hard and I would like to release 6-7 maps for this expansion. This kind of a project would require some capital to really have an efficient and short project time, while still delivering top notch quality. I'm not about to throw money away on a project, so the idea that I can sell a possible expansion for a game now assures me that I can invest my money into possibly making something that people might enjoy. If you don't want to purchase a possible expansion that I have planned later on, then don't purchase it. But that's what's great about the market, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it.

I'd add two point to your list:
- weapon change (between main gun and grenade/side arm) should be longer. Currently when you see player character from 3rd person you notice how unnaturally fast it is.
- weapon picking (from the ground) - also WAY too fast.

Because it will most likely be illegal.
If it uses assets from TWI it can't be sold unless TWI gives permission. Likewise, even it was entirely independent of RO2, they'll still have to pay to use the UE3 engine.

i will support good projects with some money, if it helps. but i will not buy any kind of mod. thats not the base of making mods.

This post just gave me wood.
This is what RO2 should have been (for the most part, medic class and a few other ideas are no good but on the whole, excellent)

Not sure whether this has been mentioned yet, but I don't like being able to sprint, stop and aim with perfect stability in half a second, even with rifles.
This is defiantly something that need to be corrected to improve RO2

Really liking the ideas in the mod here! I may buy a server just to run it and try to bring in a crowd to it. Plz keep us posted.
More ideas:
*Make MG barrels last longer.
*Give MG gunners less ammo to start.
*Make teammates give less ammo to Mgers (say, 50 round belt), or create a new class of men to give ammo, but a substanial amount (250rd belt), noone else. Either is perhaps, viable.
Rationale:
*1Increased effects of covering and suppressing fire means more MG rounds down range. Thus expended barrels quicker. This of course, was the entire point of german tactics. IRL, the MG34 could last a little longer than a 250rd belt. It seems 5-8 round bursts heat up a little quick in RO2. The best way to do this would be to highly reward bursts of 0-8 rounds with much less barrel impact, and to reward cool down a little more. Nothing too drastic, just enough to ensure COMPETENT MGers don't get stuck with two destroyed barrels for doing their job, well. Perhaps if long bursts over 15 rounds could be extremely punished, as well, this would ensure only competent MGers can take advantage of this.
*2Give MG gunners less ammo. This would mean the MG would have to rely more on the team being near enough to resupply.
*3 Similar idea here as 2. Let riflemen resupply less or NO ammo. I say less because I don't know how you can edit class and loadouts. EITHER way It would require people to work as an MG team to keep MGs running!
If the MGer starts with, say, 1 250rd belt, and a 50 round belt (300rds, all a man can feasibly carry of 7,92, on top of the MG, extra barrel, field gear), perhaps add a new class of (2)MG-Sch

So many modders rightfully lost interest in this game... might be another case here.
Shame? Maybe.

I'm one of them.
I was in the planning phase for a mod taking place exclusively in an accurately recreated Fallujah during 2004. complete with asymmetrical warfare, combined arms with LAV's and first hand knowledge applied (my brother was a marine rifleman in fallujah, and was willing to help).
with player counts at around 1000 four weeks into launch, i began to think otherwise...

I haven't completely lost interest. The issue right now is that I am working on an iPhone game and that is taking up some time. However, I have some free time coming up next week, I may get back into this seeing as maps are starting to come out, and we can finally compile.
