Commandos 2: Destination Paris

Mod review

Waaay, waaaaay too hard to be enjoyable. IMO harder than BEL or BCOD. The first two training missions I was like "Ok, it's tougher,a little bit strained, but I've read it's harder so it's okay". I went through them no prob and then it was time for the dreadnought, the third training mission. OMFG. I don't know who designed it, but he must be into SM. I'm fairly certain there is no way to do it properly, it's just quick load fest. Oh, and loads of broken english inbetween.
After an hour or two I gave up on it and skipped it. Skipped the next two as well, though they seemed more approachable. And the straw that broke the camels back was the first mission after the training ones, The Blank Of The Snow (or something like that, the one in Norway).
I don't know, maybe it's just me and people like gliding between 5 enemy sightlines just to get through the beginning, but for me it's just too much.
And too bad, apart from that, it looked really nice and I'm willing to bet that most of the rest are cool as well, plus the missions from the rest of the franchise.
But the difficulty level is simply legendary, I'm hoping for a simpler edition of this mod. Though I think I'll give it another try, cause I'm starving for new commandos games and this is as close as it gets.

Lost World: Origin

Mod review

One of the best mods ever made. Easily. Unquestionably. Incontrovertibly. Indisputably.
The biggest thing that it's missing is a proper english translation.
Aside from that, graphics are very uneven, most areas and objects look very good, but then along come things like Junkyard (DAYUM, DEM GROUND TEXTURES) or one of the military armors that bends physics and defies shadows.
Also, it could use more gear and maybe traders, it's a great sandbox mod, there just isn't enough gear to keep you interested for long, unless you're having fun just exploring, like me.

*Glorious maps
*Challenging gameplay
*Incredible atmoshere (Perfectly balanced, not omg,I be so sad like in Misery and also not, for lack of a more appropriate word, happy, a'la vanilla)
*Glorious maps and lots of them

Play it, don't be an idiot, even with the crappy and incomplete translation it's still worth your time.

P.S. I'd ditch the story, it's completely unnecessary.

Arsenal Overhaul 3

Mod review

Absolute genius,best weapons mod available now for COP,it easily rivals Shoker,despite being significantly simpler. But when it comes down to how satisfying is shooting,I'd have to say I preffer this mod to Shoker,the only ones I didn't like were Glocks,their animation is horrible,or rather way too slow,at least it seems that way to me. Anyways,that's my only complaint with this mod and maybe the lack of Glock 18.

Zone of Alienation mod

Mod review

Most probably the best SoC mod ever,only thing it could use is a few more weapons like APS,Glock 18 or OC-33 (subjective opinion,I love fully automatic handguns :D)
Also,it's WAAAY too easy to earn money by selling loaded mags and ammo. But **** that,the experience is great in general.

Shoker Weapon Mod

Mod review

Very strange mod,pretty sketchy,I've had a lot of difficulties getting it to run,but in the end,when it comes to gunplay,it's the best there is right now.
But the upgrades system for weapons is crappy IMO

L.E.G.E.N.D.A.R.Y.

Mod review

8+ would be more appropriate. Weapons seem to have the best balance in a soc mod ever,I absolutely love it,handling as well,it's a bit specific and took me a few mags to get a feel for it,but it's really great,at last weapons don't feel like .22 plinkers and at the same time they do not kill everyone in one shot to the leg,like in a lot of other mods (IMO it feels a lot more realistic and armor aren't meaningless). Also,I think it's the most well optimized mod I've seen yet,though it requires quite a bit of ram. But for that you get really good graphics,not astonishing,but really good (still,it's the best looking mod for SoC,at least from what I've seen thus far and I've seen quite a few). As of now,I miss only one feature,that is the stalker network. Other than that,it's an exceptionally well made mod and with the addition of network,it deserves an 11/10 at the very least.

EQ gunkatas

Mod review

Great mod,it's hard to use gunkatas efficently,but it gives you great satisfaction when you begin to do so
