What would you think of a Stalingrad Mod?

[Moseman872]

I've been wanting a fps game that focuses just on the battle of Stalingrad. From the start of the battle to Feb 3rd. From the Soviet assualts on the Volga to the final defeat.

Do you guys think that would be possible to do without taking up to much memory and still making the game enjoyable?
Thanks...

You want the whole battle of stalingrad to take place on the same map ?

 

[Berentzen]

no, i think he want about 6-8 maps who only play in stalingrad. a map with the whole city would be too big and it would need about 1000 players to make it enjoyabel. with 32 players you just walk around and find noone.

 

[UncleDrax]

If you are just doing maps and a few custom things.. no reason to think of it as a ful-blown mod..

Get the maps and release it as a MapPack!

I would most definately support this map pack.

 

[Berentzen]

sure a map pack with about this topic would be great, but not a map with the full size of stalingrad, that is totally stupid.you would need over 1000 and more players to make it playabel

You would need tens of thousands of players for a map that big... lol

But, hell yes, I always wanted to see more Stalingrad-centric maps. Most specifically a Mamaev-Kurgan Hill map . You could do some battles on the banks of the Volga, with boats bringing guys across under fire. You could make a Grain Silo map. A Tractor Factory map. Even the suburbs are possible for a map. There were also networks of underground tunnels and basements, if I remember what I've read correctly. Allllll kinds of possibilities with Stalingrad as a main focus. I say DO IT!

some sniper maps were good. maps were snipers can kill in a big range and cover a whole troop.

 

[Moseman872]

Just to clear things up a bit I didn't mean one giant map cause that would be stupid as ever. I meant as some other folks said maybe 6-8 maps of different places like the tractor factory and stuff.

I always like to learn stuff about battles and things through a media form I like, like video games.

BTW: do you guys know of any tutorials for the modding engine?

Thanks for the input.

 

[Capt.Marion]

for tutorials I would recommend blowing $20 and getting UT2k4 Editor's Choice of amazon.com and looking at the tuts included there. That is the only reason I can map. also, CONSULT THE WIKI- http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/

What version of Unreal editor is the RO Editor?

For the point of tutorials, ROEd is the same as Unreal Editor v3.

Fantastic. I would love to play a series of Stalingrad maps.

 

[DirtyGuio]

So its not a mod , just a map pack.

 

[lazlazlaz1]

although a single player mod where you play through the stalingrad campaign would be fun. who wants to improve the bots?

 

[Berentzen]

yeah single player would be great, even its not stalingrad. but with this "inteligent" bots..... no way

Would be nice to see more high quality maps of any kind honestly. Just as long as it has the detail of teh offical maps and fairly balanced gameplay. Would also like to see it so you can go in every building. But as long as that stuff is done im all for more maps. Just kinda sick of real low quality maps that people release.
