Intro
Hey there! Welcome to this week's roundup of the YouTube, where we covered a mod reviving an old Battlefield favourite and a mod marrying the design principles of many classic shooters!
Monday - Playthrough - PlayFreeGO
Battlefield has seen many iterations, from blockbuster AAA game to free-to-play accessible warfare. Battlefield Play4Free was one of the more popular exports of the latter, and whilst it has since been closed by EA, PlayFreeGO is a mod for Battlefield 2 bringing back weapons, vehicles, maps, and more for a bit of nostalgia and a new experience all at once.
Potionomics, at its core, is a card game about marketing variously coloured brews to adventurers, but there's also a heart and wit to the game that makes you sympathise with more than the coin for each purchase. This is a journey worth experiencing, even as you stave off the stress of the job!
What happens when you take a modder who experienced all of the greats of the retro shooter genre, and then felt an intense desire to see them all collide? You get Bloodline for DOOM II, which hopes to marry the grittiness of the original DOOMs, the epic scale of Unreal, and the interconnected realism of Half-Life into one unified package.
That's all for this round-up. What do you think about the mods listed? Feel free to discuss below and check out the YouTube for more videos past, present, and future!
David plays BF2, nice. Hope you had fun with it.
Yep, I've covered a few BF2 mods in the past - played it when it first came out! Always love an excuse to come back to BF2 for a mod.
Then the BF2 Fans Moddb.com group is a must-follow! Every year there are unique modded events hosted by the community, lots of fun :)
