  • cool, this should be fun
  • Holy crap!

    Progress!
  • Wow, that looks much more promising than other Tribes projects that I've seen. I'm excited to see how it goes!
  • Its amazing how one or two guys doing this as a hobbie can conceptualize something so kickass, and yet a whole company that owns the IP cant even come close.
  • This is a mod, not a standalone game.
  • Mods are very popular in multiplayer. In fact, that's what makes PC gaming one of the best ways to game is the mods. You can completely redesign a game how you like.

  • Yes but it makes splits the game and each mod has fewer and fewer players.
    You know one of the most popular online games of all time + several others in the top 10 all started off as mods right? They just need to be well made, balanced, and promoted.




    Answer: Counter-Strike, Team Fortress (all of them), etc


    edit: You even started a CS1.6 thread and still say "mods are not popular in multiplayer" ::)
  • even garrys mod is pretty huge now
  • pretty sure cs1.6 has more players online at any one time than any other game ... in history
  • theres a couple of successful ones yes but compare it to the quadrillions of mp mods that have none or barely any players left playing.

    i think robertom has got a point, how many people are gonna get quake wars just to play an mp mod? How many remainging quake wars players are gonna install and play? If it were a standalone indie game it could be put on gametrailers.com and get some real attention but its not, its a mod for an old game and i doubt itll be much easier to advertize it than T2.
    Not trying to talk it down, i hope theres gonna be lots of players and i sure wanna try it.

    Well ,i hope then that this will get as big as other mods...
    Let me rephrase this :
    Mods of not so popular games are not popular in multiplayer
    Half life was and is a great game and of course everyone checked for the latest mods

    Last time i checked etqw on gametracker there were 93 servers and 500 players online .This is not that much in comparation with other fps's.



    I like this mod beacause the modders actually keep people updated with all this great work and they try to do it every month !
    Bigger community than ours so far :)
  • The Time is Now


    The development of the Tribal Wars Mod for Enemy Territory - Quake Wars has been concluded. We're now prepared to accept testers for a brief phase of multi-player testing. We're looking specifically for players who are still actively playing Starsiege Tribes and we've determined that hosting a small Tribes 1 tournament is a fair means of determining who will get entry into the beta test.
