Mod of the Year

2004 Mod of the Year Results ARE IN!

Each year we see a flurry of 'Game of the Year' awards features. We have even seen some 'Mod of the Year' awards, however, they have often been small uneventful features, judged by a few biased reporters and limited to one game. Not anymore; 2004 marks the first year when the public who make and play the mods out there get to decide which are the best going round.

Two competitions will be run:

  1. Finding the best released mods from each genre (i.e. action, adventure, strategy, etc.)
  2. Finding the best mod designers, the talent within the community (ie. best models, website, animations, etc.)

The outcome will be interesting; will the next-generation mods on the next-generation engines prevail or will the old classics come through with the goods? Will the popular games with tons of mods win by masses of numbers, or will the games with a few mods fuelled by cult followings prove a force to be reckoned with? Well January 2005 has come and gone so the results are in!

Good job on the sponsorship.

Kinda ironic EA being a sponsor for a modding award thing when they have never released an SDK for any of their games. O_o

I guess $$$ will force EA to change, because A LOT users buy **PC** games that has modability because.. HEE!!.. you love mods and new more better maps!.

Looks "Star Wars Battlefield", the default maps are CRAP, designed for console limits, so on PC are absurd, withouth a SDK its imposible to generate good maps that fix that problem. So less people will buy this game, and will buy other guys game.

If EA not get that money, other company will grown with that money.

EA makes bad games, it really scares me that they are taking interest in the mod community, seeing as their main business strategy is to buy people and companies (or force them out of business) and use the name to sell a really crappy product, like the James Bond games.

They also have a human rights record almost as bad as Wal-Mart, so I would advise modders NOT to accept any job offers from Electronic Arts. If you do you may become very tired and very poor.
