Have you guys ever playtested the campaign with REARM mod?
In the second to last level, where you would face Makran's flagship and acquire the Sajuuk. With this mod on, they have NINE Missile Battlecruisers clustered together near Makran's flagship, where you only got 2 Battlecruisers, plus the Supercarrier which barely count as one. Even with 5 fully upgraded Ion-Destoryers and a full group of 21 Ion Frigates, I could only bring down six of them before my entire fleet is wiped out.
It would be great if you guys design a campaign for the Kadeshi on how they came to be.
The part on how they decide to settle in the nebula instead of following the convoy ( maybe there's a possibility of conflict within the colony ) and makes improvements to their ship ( which starts from the prison ship they use ), overcoming challenges ( like intruders of the nebula and adaptation for the environment ) and eventually becoming a force to be reckoned with that even the mighty Taiidan dare not to disturb.
I'm sorry to say that, but this goes beyond unrealistic expectations. If I take aside that Kadeshi are as far from the main focus of this mod as it gets, that my favourite race are Vaygr and thus if ever making a campaign it would be a Vaygr one, you basically want me to:
-create several new maps, possibly recreate the HW1 era Kadeshi, create the Khar-Toba class ship and since the Taiidan played a big role in their history, at least a portion of the Taiidan race as well (again, HW1 era mind you, nothing in any way relevant to this whole game that is happening 115 years later). It would also require a few civilian vessels, as we've seen in the cutscene. And of course a solid storyline, dialogue and voice acting (and being very tallented in avoiding sounding cheesy and unprofessional, good luck with that) and of course most importantly a coder who can even do campaing scripting. Which I don't have.
Reading your message again I realized where the expectation lies. You said "you guys". It is true that the models for Kadeshi were made by Mololu (a creator of the PtV mod), that there are models and scripts by other tallented people, but this thing still has a team of one. And I can't do a campaign.
And if I'd allowed myself to be unrealistic and go for it (better not, campaign would stop everything else), it would have to be a three missions micro piece I would be enthusiastic for. Not a grand scheme that requires a load of additional assets this mod doesn't have and revolves around a race that doesn't interest me.
Have you played ArmA 2? Are you familiar with Operation Eagle Wing? Something like that. It has two missions but it's loaded with jaw dropping moments. That would be my campaing. Short but striking.
Hehe, sorry for being too hyper on the expectations there, just a nostalgic rush from playing HW 1 making me a bit blind on things :D
The one thing I like most about the Vagyr is their capital ship rocket volley, reminds me of a russian nuclear submarine.
Does multiplayer work with this mod? I have a couple of friends that might be interested in HW2 and this mod, but would it be possible to get a multiplayer game up with the mod? And what about between a modded and standard HW2?
Multiplayer technically does wotk, but there are some crashing issues that have yet to be resolved. Next version will be better in this manner. And sorry, you cannot play a modded and stantard version of a game together in one multiplayer session.
I more or less assumed it wouldn't work for obvious reasons. I was hoping the modded player would have all mods disabled if playing against non modded players, but it's not really an issue. I can just launch the game without the additional mod flags.
I'm sure you hear this a lot, but do you have an ETA on the next release, even if it is a very vague one?
Yeah.
I don't do even vague ones. I miss even the vague deadlines and then everyone's dissapointed.
Understandable. Kinda silly that people get disappointed though. I'd like to see them do better.
Aaah, yes I did notice a few of those. Still some great work going on though, Its by far the best HW2 mod ive ever played and tops any others(Including Complex).
