Seeing how I'm possibly the only person in the entire planet who was looking for something like this (since the game is pretty much dead and obscure), I'll chime in on my thoughts.

My specs were:

Win7 x64
i7 3610QM
Nvidia 660m 2GB

Game was pretty much maxed out through the .ini with 8xCSAA and I installed it through the CDDrive (on the C:/ drive) after applying the 1.3 patch. I ran it at 1920x1080. Constant 60fps and even with the tweak showing more of the gameworld, I saw no FPS fluctuations.

Needless to say, this mod essentially allows you to zoom the camera to a degree that makes it comfortable to play at 1080p. AKA, no more headaches, as it basically is a FoV tweak. From what I understand, this modification had to be applied to every map shipped with the game, which sounds like highly tedious work and I truly thank the author for taking the time doing this.

Installing it could not have been simpler, I used Desura and it looks like the author made sure that the client installed everything to the right folders, however I DO have some issues:

1. If installing thru Desura, you MUST launch it from a shortcut with this target: -mod "C:\Users\Din\Documents\Battle for Middle-earth mods\Sloakz Camera Mod\SLOAKZCAMERAMOD.big"

2. The mod still says v0.8 even though this is the 1.0 release, which may confuse some.

3. It is difficult to tell, but unlike the BFME2 widescreen fix, this hasn't set the camera angle down a notch so that its looking down at the battlefield at an angle. Arguable since I'm not sure of this, didn't make any comparison pictures.

4. The camera fix applies to the opening cinematic...for some reason. Unless it was done by mistake, it lets you know that the mod is running, but it pretty much makes the sequence look kind of retarded since the camera will continue to move above the tower.

Otherwise, fantastic work. I might chip back in when I'm done beating singleplayer. :)

Great mod, really made the traditional Half-life mechanics feel modern in-tune with the Horde-style systems we see in most shooters and stays fun throughout. Alot of balance problems though, most noticeably the AI-pathfinding which is so horrendous at finding players hiding in spots that its game-breaking at times. However with 4 players running around the map proper, its a blast.

Kudos to the author for this, if the RPG mechanics are expanded upon a bit to be more Diablo-like, I think there is something really special here.

9/10, the AI issues for games with less than 4 players keeps it from being one of the most unique HL mods this year. Gets my vote.

I tried the demo which doesn't seem to be on Desura. Sorry, but its like you guys didn't even care, I haven't seen a port this sloppy since Sonic Colours. I might buy it on the 360 since its obvious that was the lead platform that was intended for this game, because it was actually fun. Oh well, cheers.

Why is there a furry pic for SMOD.

Why should there ever be any mod that has such a pic for it's image gallery.

Not only do you fail at mods and just fail in general, now you actually broke the intelligence barrier and you have gone full retard.

Congrats goodsir, now GTFO of ModDB and never come back.

No download link? No summary? Nothing?

What a shame.

*Sheds a manly tear for D:FoM*

Loved this back when it was active.

Any updates on PezBot suppourt?

Same boat as CorporalHicks, don't want this to die! :)

Eagerly waiting for PeZBot suppourt. :)

Pezbot is awesome and if this mod could get Pezbot suppourt, it too will be awesome. There would be so much awesome in one mod that CoD4 would not be able to handle the awesome might of the awesomeness and it will cause a hybrid electrical surge in the computer that will force the awesomeness to overheat your CPU and cause the PC to explode awesomeness directly into your face and you will die a horrible death. But atleast you died in an awesome way.

TL;DR it would be awe- er, cool if this mod could get Pezbot suppourt. :D

Finally, I can see how pretty Doom 3 is without all those crap shadows. This mod sounds badass with a partner, splitscreen possible?

Hey everyone, popped in to see if I'm lucky enough to grab an invite. And maybe pop in my 2 cents.

I just happened to learn about Desura just now, and it sounds pretty damn badass. Sure, Steam is fine, but its limited in how it allows other content like mod support or f2p gaming to foster.

I don't see Desura as a direct competitor to Steam, actually, I see it as a companion. One holds some of the more mainstream games where the other promotes indie games and mods in ways that the other can't seem to do it as effectively.

I slowly learned to love digital distribution, having one client to handle all my files without having to tediously download all my indie games in a "Games" folder or something and hope that the download doesn't break. And what makes Desura great is that it seems to be more open to community contributions and ideas then say, the EA Download Manager.

Anyways, I wish the best of luck to you guys.

Epic!

I'm quite a fan of this mod, beated it today. I can go on about how non-linear and awesome it is, but I won't.

I simply need to ask this instead; Is it possible to play this mod as a headcrab in the Blue Shift/Opposing Force/Original Half Life maps? I tried switching to another map with no luck.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? The default mod levels were good but I still need my headcrab zombie fix!

Looks like Unreal Championship 2 except everything was replaced by UT3.

So, is it essentially a hyped-up UT3 thats free? Looks like it only has the weapons/vehicles that came with the UDK.

Doomero, you are just epic. Great work, this really does justice to Doom 3 and the older Doom games.

Thanks for the upload.

Hey, popped in to give out my support. I was skeptical at first, but I saw that you guys were really putting awesome effort in this mod and who wouldn't want a MW-like mod?

Also, you might want to be careful about the title. Activision legally owns the rights to the term "Modern Warfare" since 2008 within a gaming media (Which this mod is).

So I suggest just try to either be careful or change it for the sake of avoiding troubles in the future. I saw many a mod or two get shut down fast that way.

Goodluck, waiting for a release date!

-pokes-

You guys are still alive? Comon, just climb out of your graves for two seconds and give us a sign of life. :P

This looks like a giant turd.

But it is a turd full of awesome sauce and epic win.

Goodluck, I always wanted something like this before I got a high-end PC.

Its been awhile, any news?

I too believed that the information like size and multiplayer/singleplayer was helpful, even if it was just there for two seconds. Atleast its there for me to pause and look back at it.

Can you please explain EXACTLY what kind of static meshes did you change?

Maybe have some comparison screenshots to your mod and the normal unmounted UT3?

Hope this isn't riddled with bugs like other similar projects. ;)

So far, I really enjoy the game. It gets addictive to try to build the best base possible, but I have a few problems:

1. The 360 controller works but I can't zoom in with the rifle, rendering it inferior to the Mouse+Keyboard. You can argue that I should be using M+K, but sometimes I hook my laptop to a large TV and use a controller.

I tried changing the key bindings but with no luck.

2. The weapon models could look better, especially with the sniper rifle. I love the level design and the theme, but the guns fail in comparison to your surroundings.

3. Enemy weaknesses could be more obvious. In my first go, it felt unfair that I had to suffer from not knowing how to kill certain enemies, like the ones where you shoot the eyes.

4. Teleporting is annoying, even though sometimes it can be an advantage and would cater to more casual players, I'd rather have a health/regeneration system then having to be teleported when your busy fighting enemies, especially in a huge firefight. Very annoying.

5. This one is more of a feature request then a problem, but split screen would be greatly appreciated. Having a partner helping you fight off hordes of enemies would be nice plus, but no where means necessary. Especially when you are concentrating on one side of the field but the other is unguarded except for the buildings.

Thats all, thanks.

This is great, I hope more commands comes with the new releases.

Guys, keep in mind that if you pay something under 1.00 USD, they'll actually be LOSING money for transfer maintenance costs.

So don't be TOO cheap, kay? ;)

Is it possible for Shifter to work on Steam?

Thanks for the spoiler in the description, *******.

You know, some people may have appreciated it if you kept back the information about TNM for the few of us who were enjoying the mod.

Just saying.

Probably one of the few best mods available on CoD4, as most talented personnel head to Unreal or the Source engine.

This is really some quality work and I enjoyed the mod alot with my buddies. I hope you can continue this success. Cheers.
