"The people that want to play all the really cool mods but have no desire to learn the trade (the leaches), are totally willing to neglect any old game and follow the new super-cool engine mods for the new super-cool games. They'll get bored once they realize that serious modding is a multi-year investment and move on to the next super-cool engine and hoping some super-cool mod team (but of course, not their lazy ***) will make a super-cool professional grade mod in a month."

From the internet..

Well I can't even be bothered listing them. Just do a search for "40K", "Imperium", "Warhammer". That should give you a rough idea of how many people pick up something, play with it, then drop it shortly thereafter. Hell, read the comments on this page.

"There is no contract, no need to actually finish."

So, as you said.

"SHUT THE **** UP YOU STUPID NOOB."

I'll end with something moppop said.

"I'm saying you can already mod THOUSANDS OF GAMES, so why is BF3 so ******* important? Why not help people finish their own lazy mods and not get excited for the next super-cool engine."

@madcat1030
If you're making a mod for yourself or just to pass the time, then why put it up online?
I've seen a few mods around here. "We'll make the next feature if we get X fans". X fans later.. "We'll make the next feature if we get X more fans". X more fans later.. Oh look, they up and left.
Or.. "THIS MOD IS COMING SOON!! FAVOURITE AND TELL EVERYONE!!!11!"
Soon comes and goes, months later, you see the same person on a different page with the same line.

To be brutally honest, the majority of modders on here are incompetent or lazy, and "sad" is no excuse.
"Some people might be sad, but most of us have lives, jobs, and families."

Starting and not finishing a project simply smacks of a lack of self discipline. Unfortunately most people are too full of themselves to work at something, so they upload a few files, start the publicity, then drop out a month later.

I'd hate to see what your output at work is if you can't even keep going on something you're really excited on.

moppop had a point though. "Modding started for fun when people DIDN'T get tools handed to them on a silver platter"

Remember when.. You may all be too young, but modding a game wasn't "Here's a button, click this to make a mod", it was "pull the game down to the source, mess with it, figure out what variable changed what, figure out what the art links are to, how to unpack them, how to pack your own, where the sound links to, how to convert your file to the file the game uses, packing it all together, watching as it dies horribly. Pulling out each and every link till you found the fking typo that stopped the compiler working, then watching your creation spawn".

You know, back when modding required some intelligence, and the only mods that were around were polished, because the only people modding were the ones who wanted to mod. Not the ones who wanted people on the internet to like them for a few seconds so they announced another W40K mod.

Dark and menacing? Really? Aww, and here I was looking forward to trippy.

Although the posted screenshots still look sweet!

Why do all the 40K mods die? Why?!

Torrent link is down. :( I'll attempt a download asap though.
Question.. How does it cope with Steam and VAC? Some mods trigger a ban. So have to ask. :P
