The site has the most amount of UT99, UT2k4, and UT3 maps on one site, and has probably the largest UT99 mod and skin archive on the net. They also have a lot of Unreal 1 maps and mods as well. There's a ton of stuff on there for anyone with a little bit of interest in Unreal.

I'm surprised nobody has ever made a UT99 mutator that simply replaces the UT99 minigun with the Unreal 1 minigun, preferably with the UT99 minigun's stats. The U1 minigun is cool as gently caress and deserves more time in the spotlight. The UT99 one is neat, but the U1 minigun takes it to a whole 'nother level. I could probably just tweak OldSkhool Amped so that it only replaces the UT Minigun, but it doesn't work if I'm in the mood to mess around with OldSkool's options. Having to undo all of my experimenting just so I could use only the U1 Minigun every time I mess with OldSkool would be a pain in the rear end. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Mar 25, 2014 |

So a guy on the ZDoom forums by the name of Kyle873 has made a pretty neat RPG mod for Doom (ZDoom forums thread here). I've been playing with it for the past few days, and I have to say it's pretty fun. It has support for Brutal Doom as well as DoomRL Arsenal (go here if you want to know what DoomRL Arsenal is all about). The only problem with it (if you could even call it a problem) is that the guy tweaks it fairly often, meaning lots of re-downloads if you want to fix a bug or see newly added features.

Are there any good weapon mods for UT2K4 other than Ballistic Weapons? I'm interested in trying some out, but there's barely any mods at all on that UTFiles that was just recently linked and none of them have any descriptions. I tried downloading "Enhanced Weapons" but it appears to change literally nothing when I turn on the mutator, so... I dunno, I don't wanna get burned again.

It's impractical as gently caress for deathmatches but the Blade Runner map is still my favorite UT2004 map ever purely because you can fly a police Spinner and go inside the Tyrell Corp. pyramid.

DH_acc is that, so I guess the _compile.bat file is to recompile the mod if you make changes to its source code. You probably don't need to run it.

Maybe Medal of Honor Allied Assault is old enough to be called "old school" at this point but god drat I can't remember the last FPS I've played that has gone to poo poo so quickly in the late game. It was a nice challenge all the way up to the 5th chapter where an entire level is about F5'ing until you figure out where some fucker is shooting at you because he's hiding on a roof behind a tree then F9'ing to take them out while minimizing damage (which you won't do because the enemies can shoot faster than you even while using the exact same weapons). I ended up cheating the rest of the chapter because I have no idea how the gently caress you're supposed to beat the giant escort mission legitimately. It's no wonder Call of Duty dominated so quickly. Even before they introduced regenerating health to the series the game gave you more options to stay alive than relying on enemies dropping canteens.

Try Medal of Honor: Airborne some time. It has maybe the worst combination of movement controls and weapon handling I've ever seen in a non-shareware FPS, and the final level ratches up to a whole new octave of awful that I wasn't entirely anticipating. If you do play MoA:A, remember at all times that CoD:MW was released the same month.

Yeah, MoH:AA was hyper popular when it came out on PC, even being actively played multiplayer and having some smaller mods developed for it. But when Call of Duty came, no one ever gave a gently caress about the series again. Airborne was miserable and way too arcadey for it's own good, and the less said about the reboot and Warfighter the better. Infinity Ward just found the right formula for military shooter. I played Allied Assault for a bit when it was rereleased on GOG and it aged badly. Snipers one-shotting you way too often and too much escort/follow me/stealth moments. RtCW still owns.

I don't understand how they screwed up the movement so badly. Unreal Engine 3 has solid movement; what the gently caress happened? Did someone on the development team decide to recreate a 90s-era shovelware FPS control system for the hell of it?

Really? I thought MoH Airborne had one of the best FPS cover systems I can remember and pretty much every aspect of it was way more fun than I expected. In particular the whole non linear aspect to the gameplay is something I really wish had caught on. That said, I did get it free in an Origin giveaway a while back, so I may have gone in with pretty low expectations.

I remember Pacific Assault's demo and how visually impressive the game was but Doom 3, Far Cry, and Half-Life 2 all came out within 6 months of each other and nobody could give less fucks. EA keeps trying to make Medal of Honor relevant again but they keep throwing their B teams at it.

I don't remember those issues with Airborne. Well, besides the last level being gently caress-off hard. I really liked that game. It was actually my favourite game in that 10th Anniversary pack. The best Allied Assault game was Breakthrough, but it had a lovely ending (not even a historical video! It just ended!), and Spearhead was so loving bad. And Pacific Assault had that hideously terrible flying bit. Holy poo poo, I liked a lot of that game, but that bit was so loving lovely that I just can't bring myself to replay the game. And, as noted, Allied Assault had Sniper Town.

Yodzilla posted:http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-03-27-3d-realms-responds-to-gearbox-suit I don't know how the Duke Nukem property has caused so much drama over the years, especially by people who claim to own the rights to publish it even when they clearly don't. A few pages ago I posted an article from 1996 when Sierra claimed they had the right to compile a bunch of Duke3D maps made by other people and sell it under the Duke3D trademark as if it were their own. No other franchise I can think of has generated so much legal interest while producing practically nothing of worth in 15 years (Manhattan Project was alright but I digress). At this point the Duke Nukem name has to be worth nothing. I would give the thing away. Then again I know nothing about business.

Not much, but mouldy aka Cyriak released episode 2 of "Going Down". It's worth a look. And for people who like weird relics of limited value, the original ZDCMP2 has resurfaced. The one that went into development hell and was abandoned nearly ten years ago. Ironically, it will not work right in current versions of ZDoom because it relied on something that was never intended to be a modding feature and that no longer exists. (Also, it will not work right because it's an unfinished mess, too.)

I really don't understand all the fuss over Duke Nukem now. I could understand people wanting to get Forever out, since a huge number of people would buy it just to say they bought it, until it started looking really bad anyway. But now, that's come out, and before that Duke Nukem had, what? Like two good games, 3 if you can ignore the beepy low techness of the first platformer. Is there really any brand value left? Nobody's going to buy anything now just because it's got Duke in it. And anything Duke does could just as easily be done with a new completely made up FPS Parody character.

Probably mostly because at some point you're like "why aren't we just using Duke?" when you get too close to it. Also DN3D is still fun to play, and surprisingly enjoyable as a topic for philosophical debate.

And the new one looks to be awesome as well. I guess my point is that just because a franchise is long gone and mostly-irrelevant to anybody who didn't grow up playing the games, doesn't mean that there isn't more you can do with the IP. A new Duke Nukem game could still pull in an audience provided the core game is any good. edit: Though on the other hand there'll never be another good Duke Nukem game so I guess you kind of have a point.

A new version of ECWolf is coming soon (sometime later this month), and will likely be distributed with some kind of digital re-release of the PC version of Super 3D Noah's Ark. Weird. The dude who makes Samsara released a mod for April Fools that promised to be about blowing tons of stuff up but was actually a weird experimental horror mod about randomization and uncertainty. ROTT2013 updated with a four-barreled shotgun. Its multiplayer is still dead outside of specific weekend events.
