Antstafer's Enhanced Gameplay & Graphics Mod

Mod review by Knight45 Agree Disagree

After playing the mod for a while, the whole new difficulty is not really good. Somethings I have noticed:
-Teammate AI is not as good compared to the enemy AI. Seems there is something going on where the enemy AI always has some sort of edge against the real player's team (artificial difficulty of some sorts). For example, their lowest ranked player is 7-19, while mine is 0-25 (None of the enemy has 0 kills or anything below 7. My team has majority of kills ranging from 0-6 on average with large amounts of deaths). Even with me capturing command posts (or at-least trying) and getting around 170 kills, this was not enough to come close to a victory. However, after playing without the mod this seems to be a vanilla game issue. It would be great if the developers of the mod can try to fix this because with the new gameplay implemented, the game is more unbearable
-Turrets just kill people at all ranges easily (my team is too disabled to know how to use them like the other team it seems. This makes Bespin very difficult because when you spawn at the middle you get spawned killed, trying to get in a ship gets you gunned down by either the turrets, ship, or a sniper. Your only option is the push in the middle and hope a turret does not one tap you or get rushed by five solders while you team is in the back getting spawn killed)
-Some of the newer crosshairs are not good
-Screenshake when near a blaster impact is as annoying as Battlefront 2 Ultimate Commander
-Teammates fairly often friendly fire causing you to fall down and stumble everytime you have friendly fire disabled or they end up killing themselves
-Framerate drops below 60 often around enemies leading to choppy gameplay
-Teammates and enemy vehicles sometimes remain unoccupied during the entire battle session
-Teammates and enemies sometimes do not capture command posts (teammates stay outside of the enemy's command post areas while the enemies just stay and defend). They will only progress if there is very little from the opposition left (this also happened when the AI refuses to occupy vehicles)
-With all the fixes the mod provides, it would be nice if the sensitivity was improved in some way (it is way too fast even on 0 with 700 DPI)
-Idle animations look awkward with the new assets for humanoids (there are clear signs of deformations because of them. Perhaps port over the Battlefront II animations like some other mods have done or use some custom animations)
-Rebel soldiers could use assets in similar quality to the Storm Troopers (Rebels look out of place in terms of quality)
-Audio stutters often
-Would be nice if the hitboxes on the basic turret was adjusted like Battlefront 2 (seems you can only hit them from the sides. If the turret is facing you, it seems impossible to him them from the front with a headshot even though their head is sticking out). This would make going against them more bearable because they usually just one hit kill you
-Some regular maps only have Wookies to fight in GCW
I originally had the mod at a lower score, but after playing the game without the mod, I can see why many people prefer Battlefront 2 over Battlefront 1 and noticed some of the biggest faults I mentioned were issues from the vanilla game. Battlefront 1 has less features and has horrible artificial difficulty where even if you do really good, you will still lose the game (I do not remember this difficulty problem on retail). Proof is just how poorly my teammates always perform in comparison to the enemy. Another example of this is how the enemy team rushes to capture command posts and my team just gets distracted by seeing them and targets them without progressing that much. This issue is more noticeable with the mod installed. With all that said, I give the mod itself a 5 because of the higher quality assets, fixes, and some new sound effects (EA weapon firing sounds are very weak compared to the originals though). I feel this mod would have been much better if it was for Battlefront 2 because of the issues I mentioned above do hold this mod back if you ask me. Moving all the way to another command post just to get one shot by an enemy is just tedious. I cannot really recommend this mod for everyone though because this new gameplay does not really work with the game's AI without overhauling how the AI behaves or removing the artificial difficulty. The weapons damage is good, but with the movement being fairly slow and janky, teammates being braindead and the above, it does not play well with the fast time to kill. I also noticed I can win often if I just sit in vehicles all the time until there is like 40 enemies, which is fairly boring and not how I would like to play the game.

MARROW

Mod review by Forest_Boy Agree Disagree

This is easily some the finest of the finest map-work I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing and recommend ANY fan of blood or old school shooters in general to try this!

Half-Life: ESCAPE

Mod review by C.S.Madisun Agree Disagree

(This review is for Escape 2.0)

While I thought this was a decent return to Black Mesa and an interesting revisiting of the original Escape mods, I also felt it was dragged down quite a bit by three major issues:
- A lack of ammunition
- A lack of health
- Too many enemies

Any one of these would be an annoyance, but when combined they can result in a wildly fluctuating difficulty curve. The fact you never get a crowbar means there's no easy way to take out the lesser enemies (headcrabs & zombies), and when the mod frequently doesn't give you enough ammo to deal with all the enemies - especially early on - it leaves you rather frustrated.

The mod also has tons of Vorts pop up throughout its rather lengthy runtime - often so many that you're GOING to get hurt unless you constantly quick-save/load - and given you don't really get any armour, that makes you especially vulnerable. I played on Normal and had a rather miserable time.

It's especially frustrating because the maps themselves are actually really good! They're well designed, have good layouts and (aside from the odd bit of annoying trigger placement) were fun to make my way through. It's a real shame I couldn't enjoy them so much because the combat was so badly balanced.

Overall, if you're going to play this I REALLY recommend you do so on Easy, because otherwise the overly challenging combat is going to ruin what's otherwise a pretty great mod.

(And also, if you're not going to let us wear an HEV suit, don't tease us by letting us come into contact with several throughout the mod! That's just MEAN.)

Global War English Translation Repack

Mod review by Gleb_AA-Gun Agree Disagree

Absolutely the best freeplay mod out there, absolute faction war and a lot of unique looks all around, could use some more models to make more unique for certain factions/weapons but in general, the absolute best I played!

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp

Game review by feillyne Agree (1) Disagree

A cool remake with one fatal flaw: it is possible to share your maps only with your friends and not random users, there is no sharing system similar to Super Mario Maker 2's or anything like that in place...

DoctorX Call of The Zone

Mod review by Zonelost Agree Disagree

Greatest freeplay mod to date. The atmosphere is very much akin to the one of the original trio of games and the quests are structured so delicately the way they play out often feels scripted, like a piece of a greater story you make yourself.

Thanks, Doc.

The Real War Escalates MOD

Mod review by emiliogarciac Agree Disagree

yeah, as other people said, this mod feels like someone just did not try and see what works, it just random BS, by all account i should put a one but the only reason i ain't doing it is by the offchance the devs maybe think of making the AI not an absolute cheatfest

Dark case V.3

Mod review may contain spoilers by gesemertsidis Agree Disagree

A masterpiece. From the lightning to the horrors, to the chases, to everything.

The only thing I missed was a fast-paced ending, since it felt a bit stale and quick.

Overall I really enjoyed it. Kudos!

Amadeus

Mod review may contain spoilers by gesemertsidis Agree Disagree

What can I say about this story... Magneficent! It is creative, the no-sound monsters are great, the chase in the end -oh my god!

It was really quiet at start, but I always felt watched. Really great.

The only negative was the light environment, but I don't really care as long as I had so much fun.

Simulacrum

Mod review by gesemertsidis Agree Disagree

One of the most original and creative custom stories out there. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the story, the puzzles and the horror that it provided.

The only negative is that in order to solve the puzzles you have to spend a lot of time, since there is no help by notes or mementos to do something.

Overall a great experience!
