This game needs Classic Mode to be official.

Seriously. Better performance(I maintained over 120FPS in a game with 18 peple, versus 34-40 on a normal server, with next to now visual quality loss...what the hell?)

Also, Exo-suits are a poor replacement for heavy armor, really, I love them.

The HMG was just...so awesome...

Gorges building stuff...Marines having gear dropped by Comm and not bought...it was awesome.


Think about it; Red Orchestra 2 released an update that had a "Classic" mode, more like Red Orchestra 1.

Can't be that tough, the fan made version is 80% there. With you guys polishing it off and making it Official...be great. It was just a funner style; everyone in the game, old NS1 players and new players who never tried NS1 said that playing as an Alien felt really cool now, and vice versa, people as Marines felt like they weren't walking meat sacks. There was POWER! to the classes, they felt strong.

Also...omnom nom devour!

Just saying, include it as a mod when you create a server

"Classic" A little box you can tick.

It'd boost sales, please old fans, and I can't see how it'd hurt the game except give choice.

    I'm still reeling from the preposterous arrogance of this thread's title.

    Yeah i know. idk why they blacklist mods at all. I dont remember any game ever doing that. Counter strike lists modded servers by default. Why would UWE filter out anything by default. The default should show all servers. Then UWE can let the user set there filters how they want them. I will never understand charlie cleveland.

    I think NS2 isn't as fun as NS1 yet, but I don't think giving up is the answer. Honestly, I stopped playing Unreal Tournament and TF2 (and to a lesser extent NS1) because of the ridiculous popularity of mod servers. It's not a big problem when a game is really popular, but when it starts to wane, you fracture the community too much.

    Killing Floor

    Killing Floor also had a level system, with unlockables and such.

    I remember they had custom maps where you could infinitely kill enemies without threat to yourself for leveling up. That is why the system was in place.

    I used them, because the grind in Killing Floor is stupid. I hate any FPS that makes me GRIND to unlock gear / be effective.

    "There is a MOD for that" I love to say that, but I can see a new MOD making classic mode. It is just a matter of time.

    Well what about RO:OST?
  • TrueVeritasTrueVeritas Join Date: 2006-10-20 Member: 58082Members
    yes please

    though i still think if we want to play ns1 we should just go play ns1. the graphical update just isn't worth it since you lose performance and all the polish from 3.2.
  • sushia11sushia11 Join Date: 2012-10-12 Member: 162112Members
    I wouldn't mind mods like this. I agree this would help please the community. Although, if you wanted a classic experience you could just load up NS1... Heh, maybe there isn't anyone playing anymore. I think it's okay.

    Just as long as it doesn't "fracture" the community so much that I have to favorite the servers still running vanilla. TF2 had so many modded servers it was crazy.

    Official releases of gamemodes shouldn't make any difference at all, if they did then the integrated distribution and visibility of mods isn't working as intended.

    Modded gamemodes shouldn't be implemented officially. UWE should instead increase awareness of the modded servers through the server browser, which apparently they're doing already. (Hint: Modded checkbox that auto disables is terrible).
