<div class="IPBDescription">Long live rts mods</div>At this point there are only few RTS mods out there but hopefully there will be more in the future. The main ones out there are “Qwar2” the “Strogg War” for the quake engine and “Natural Selection” for Half-Life.
What sets these mods apart from all the other mods out there is because they take a brake
From the standard lets make the ultimate real weapons mod and says let see what we can do that’s new and different. They take the fun of controlling a squad of soldiers in a RTS
And combines them with the fun of running around 3D maps.
Allowing the players who normally only play RTS and players who aren’t really into FPS games to get to experiences the quake and Half-Life community in a new and fun way.
And also allows those players who are really into FPS and don’t play RTS games to get to experience what it is like to command a squad of men in a setting they are use to.
So not only do RTS mod add a new way to play a game but they also help bring together two communities those who like RTS games and those who like FPS games

    My thoughts exactly!
    I used to wonder why nobody made games that incorporated multiple styles like RTS and FPS...I once vowed to make such a game but then I realized that I now jack-diddlydoo about programming..:(
