StarCry : Reloaded

Mod review

I love Stargate, and I believe that a lot of hard work went into creating this MOD to copy as much as possible. I've been looking forward to this MOD for well over a year.... and now that I've finally salivated as much as I could awaiting the download, I have to say that I'm very dissappointed. From the confusing split file launch, to the plagued graphical glitches, this MOD has many issues that should have been corrected from the git-go. Just to start off with: the no auto-reload, a big pet peave for those jumping into the game and into an immediate fight. Plus, no way-points, and inaccurate/incoherent/incomprehensible mission direction, will leave you wandering the field, exploring, back tracking, re-examining every little nook and cranny, and still without a clue of what you're supposed to do to advance the storyline. Too many times are the controls forcibly removed from the player and auto-driven, (Just play the first 5 minutes) instead of allowing the player to activate the next step on their own. The lack of actual audio dialog makes it extremely difficult to play, as the words are flying at the bottom of the screen while you're in the middle of doing something else that needs your attention. This really leaves the player confused, looking up and down on the screen constantly (I know it gave me a headache!) and unable to, again, read a detailed mission direction as to what to do, because you were doing something else, unable to read, and left wandering the map for 30 minutes figuring out the next step.
ASIDE from all this, the MOD has many numerous qualities. The almost exact replica of Stargate Command, for all those 'Gaters out there, is definitly a welcome treat. It is very satisfying to be able to walk into the SGC, well, no, It's DAMN satisfying to be be able to walk into SGC.
I gave this MOD a 5/10, and previously agreed to bump it up if issues were resolved, but have reduced it to 1/10 due to blantantly obvious new accounts being created to give a 10/10
