it might be coming back....opinions

[bmgarcangel 0]

Hello,

Im sure most of you who’ve been around are well aware of the Korean Conflict mod that I had a while back. Im thinking right now of getting back into computer gaming with OFP, I still have tons of high quality models and low quality models that we built, including a B29 Super Fortress, and I was curious, do you think we should come back, The Forgotten War: Conflict in Korea mod? I am up to all idea’s from the ofp community about how the mod should be ran, if we should try and join some other mods, if we need a new mod leader, im up for all ideas, just shoot!

Ttyl,

Brandon

Ps. I ask pleas not to be rude or anything here, i'm asking for the best advice from the people from the community, you are the eyes and ears, you make everything happen in reality, I will base my decission upon your opinions. Thank you!

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

Damn, you should come back !!!

(or release your High Quality models)

[Tomislav 0]

who the hell votes the third one here and on ofp info?

just should really finish your addons and maybe make the revival.

anyway, good look on what you want to do ":thumbs up:"

Would be nice to see you guys back in action. It's a very interesting materia in my eyes

[CAPAIRMAN 0]

Flashpoint needs a mod for the forgotten war. Try to come back.

[bmgarcangel 0]

I'd like a new mod leader though in my stead for i might not have as much time to take control of the mod. Has the mood about the Korean war changed amongst the ofp community though?

not much has been said............. but like so many other MOD's, they have been started not to be finished.... one example being OPGWC

[Combat Chaplain 0]

I think maybe we've seen so many mod ideas spring up, release a few pics, get our hopes up, only to fade away and die.

How many WWI mod proposals have we seen?

Then again, the American Civil War died, came back as a new team, released a pack, and now look at the counts in their thread!

I think the Korean War has real potential for two reasons:  1)  The weapons are closer to what OFP originally featured.  The Civil War Mod has almost completely worked around that, but it wasn't easy.  And  2)  Korea is potentially brewing up in the real world, it may be more on people's minds.

Pics perk people's interest, released items even more.  If you don't feel you can lead the mod, I'd at least release some pics of what you have, it may spark some interest.  The B-29 is practically guaranteed to stir something up.  Perhaps you guys can do what Xelsis is doing in the WWII Pacific mod, release some unit packs instead of doing a full-blown mod like the Civil War Mod has turned out to be.

It just seems to me that text hardly graps people's attention, something visual is even better, a release better still.  And maybe even target something.  The Battle of the Chosin Reservoir is a great tale!

Maybe quit with the waste of time polls if you dont have much time and actually spend the time you do have and actually work on the mod.

The korean war is another interesting chapter in conventional warfare.

After WW2, korea was divided into 2 along the 38th parallel. However in 1950, rapacious commies, 90,000 Nkoeans + T-34 tanks decided to make a bid to swallow up the whole of korea, pushing the united nations forces way down south. But luckily for them, US had a Julius Ceasar- Macarthur - who not only gained back the 38th parallel, even managed to chase the commies back to China!

However, 250,000 chinese with soviet migs15 chased the US back to the 38th parallel. Macarther was all for it to give chase to the chinese and soviet forces, stomp out the commies once and for all, but unfortunately, Truman, a known commie softy, sacked Macarthur instead and negotiated for a truce in korea, inhold till today.

Controversies still rages and hold relevant to this day, on several 'what ifs'..........

Give yer best shot, bmgarcangel..all the best!

last time I saw the weapon models of Forgotten war, I thought that they were the best models I've seen! They really good looking and Korean war is easy to make, 'cause there is a lot of desert kind of places, not much trees and bushes. So not much lag when the whole chinese (volunteer ) army would attack...

I think. No, I wan't really badly for you to come back...!

[PainDealer 0]

we so need Korea stuff here! it's the war that really hasn't been covered that well. not much movies or games and we didn't much dig into the conflict during our history lessons back in school. if I knew how to make models, texture or make islands I'd be so glad to help you out but I just can't learn those things

@Snypa

desert? I'm so gonna find out right now cos my thoughts don't match with that.

[korax 4]

While I would like to see a Korean mod, I'd hate to see another mod struggle with no members and such, I think you should team up with another mod, maybe share your work.

[Placebo 29]

If you can get a team together I think you should try to get back to it, Korean war would be great in Opf

[Ironsight 1]

The Korean War would be great in OFP, you have to continue this

Yeah... Really sad story.

@bmgarcangel

i really liked your addons and screenshots! please try your best to come back guys!

[subfaction 0]

gets my vote, nice early jets and all the other bits!

mmmm.

[hellfish6 7]

To be frank, if you need to conduct a poll to find out if you should continue with a mod or not, it pretty much means you've given up already. Outside interest alone isn't enough to keep you and your team (if you have one) working. YOU have to want to build your mod because YOU will be doing the work. And if you need everyone to tell you to keep working on your mod, that says to me that you may as well not even bother.

That said, I'd love to see a Korean War mod, but if I'm going to play a mod I want it to have been built by people with the internal motivation to do it themselves and for themselves. If they're constantly unsure of themselves or their motivations, then that will be reflected in the end result of their efforts.

And so I voted "Don't even bother."

[CanadianTerror 0]

That sums it up pretty nicely.

[Billabong81 0]

I agree with Hellfish6. I also voted not to bother. BMG, you have a great skill with modelling, you should join an established mod and help them if they need addon makers. For example, I44 or WW2EC would suit you nicely as you have an intrest in this time frame .

[Victor_S. 0]

If your up for the work i say go for it. I think the korean war would be perfect for ofp.

[PainDealer 0]

I gotta disagree a bit with this. they already have many guys working. think about the unsung team for example. but I really hope you can get a team and finish what you've started!

[bmgarcangel 0]

Yeah, I worked bymyself begining around November 2003 with the 30 Caliber machine gun, then from there i progressed to making by myself and with little help in making the following:

Thats what i did from November of '03 to July of '04, when after going to a Civil Air Patrol Encampment at Ft. Lewis washington and begining my senior and final year in high school, i lost interest in all computer games and got deep into the social life which i'm still in. I'm scared to get out of it and back into this, but i'm willing to do it. I promised the community, i intend to keep that promise whether i continue on with it or i hand it off to someone else in the community.

First thing is first though, one of the #1 reason's i left the community and my mod rather quickly was mainly because I was not able to finish most of the tasks put on my hands without help, and that help i searched for but could not find or recieve because i didn't release anything or my attitude back then. Right now all i need is a few people, who have multiple talents.

At the moment i only have modeling talents, minor texture talents, and very minor cpp. skills. I don't have time to learn new skills without putting some of the things in my life aside.

Without those skills for a rather short amount of time provided by just a few people, I bet I can still get it all done but at a much longer date will it be done, yes....because i'm a very busy boy at hte moment and adding this to my plate will make my life even more bush, but adding even more to it will make it unbarrable.....

So in the end, i will continue with the mod starting very soon, but i ask for minor assistance from a rathe few number of people from the community for a short amount of time who have rather good experience in multiple areas of the ofp community.

Hellfish, thanks for the heads up, same with you hooahman, i respect and take to heart your critisim.

Well, if you didn't texture those weapons then who did? And if you texture those wepaons I saw last time, I think you have very good texturing skills.

C'mon people, is there any good .cpp writers to get this weapon pack to us...
