too pissed off to put it in "pissed off today" thread...

Now for something a little more serious...

I'm surprised nobody here is complaining about game developers trying to kill the mod community. Seriously guys, COD4 had some awesome mods...and what does Activision do? Bring in Steam and get rid of dedicated servers...I now refuse to buy another cod game :P

Good news though. Unreal is still giving out the Unreal Development Kit for free! There may still be freedom from all these restrictions from the basement game designers.

...and yes I'm slowly trying to put something together with it.

^Always loved Unreal and their games... Im all for open source. The more people working on it, the better it will be..

yes, the "make something unreal" contests have done more for the gaming community than pretty much everything else combined. alien swarm? yep, came from that contest originally.

Unreal was an unreal game. Only recently got around to playing and completing Unreal 2. Playing Farcry at the moment. Got Farcry 2 ready for when I complete the 1st one. I'm always so far behind in gaming. But it does mean I get them cheap

aida is hot.

in all seriousness though, ut2k4 had me addicted for YEARS. mostly due to bonus content from private developers (non-official add-ons). i can see this becoming a less and less fruitful genre as companies cling to more and more draconian policies.
