Your saying DOD represents them better? Please, you cant even fire correctly in DOD with the Garand, makin it a slow piece of shit in that game, which in real life, it is not. Who payed you to say this? Some RTCW employee who is pissed cuz that game is outta the picture?

This game is flat out bad. The Single Player was going great until "You are alone, infiltrate this, then exfiltrate". Last time I checked, 2015, Rambo was NOT in World War 2. Omaha was the lone bright spot, but that was short lived. I give Single Player a C just for Omaha.

Multi-Player...worst MP I have ever seen. Netcode is horrific, maps are nice, but netcode ruins the multi player experience. There is NO teamwork, just DM.

Omaha is probably the biggest let down in years. The map is ruined by allowing snipers on Omaha. There is no point to defend the beach, just defend the guns, which is not the experience you want. All the maps seem good, but yet again, netcode and DM ruin it.
Grade: F

Graphics: Nice, but there is better. The GI's look like they don't have eyes. B+

Models: Most of the gun models look good, but they are too small. DoD portrays them better. Grade is a B.

Sound: They nailed the Kar 98k head on, everything else from then on went down the shitter. Explosions are very well done. MG42 is horribly done though. C is the grade.

Overall: Major disappointment. I expected a small amount of realims, not Serious Sam in WW2. Not that Sam is bad, I just expect hoardes of enemies from Sam, and I get them.

2015 dropped the ball, and in a BIG way.

Overall: D, not even worth a warez download.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Technically that is true. However, with a mod of a game that people have to download online popularity = goodness.

CS is popular because people can go to the store and buy it.

BS. It was HUGE before you could buy it in stores as a stand along game. It was the most played online FPS before you could buy it in stores and it still is the most played online FPS by a long shot.

A good amount of those same people wouldn't go out trolling for other mods to compare it to. You can tell this by CS players acting like CS was the first mod ever.

Very true they wouldn't. However, I have played a number of realism mods and so far they aren't as FUN as CS for me. Apparently thousands of people agree. Even the mods that are just copies of CS for other engines are barely comparable. Don't forget, one of the key things that makes CS great is the limits of the Half-life engine. They couldn't make large maps so they didn't. This kept the game fast paced and exciting. Multiplayer online games and mods that have too large of maps just can't compare. Even CS can't compare to its old self because the newer engine updates have made for maps that are larger and more complex, thus actually making the game a little less fun.

I want to enjoy this game but I fear this will turn into a CS crowd (kind of already has) and be filled with a lot of idiots and cheaters.

Every online game is full of idiots and cheaters. Not quite sure why you are worried about that.

There's a bunch of mods out there guys and not just for HL.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, but who has the time to track down them all and invest the time to learn to play them all well when you already have one or two great mods that you can find and master just by looking for what is currently most popular.

I am looking forward to seeing some good MOHAA mods. I am just sorry they chose the very aged Q3 engine for this game. It really limits the potential of mods for this game.
