Would you like to see a WW2 Eastern Front Mod?

[Gunter Severloh 4052]

There u go, the master speaks, TRoc will decide if it goes out or not.

anyways, i myself am awaiting the greatness of his mod to unfold even more like it was done for liberation 41-45.

[Relemar 10]

no ffs ww2 sucks, we bought arma to get away from it.

[GI-JoE 0]

Hey seems nice TRoc :)

[jojimbo 0]

Of course, cant wait for long. So just refer to some WIP screenshoots here

Yeah, seems lots of other games have used such topic and scenario regarding WW2, and none of them really do a nice job about it. Still expecting for some great job about it.

i would love to see an east front mod for ww2,but in those ww2 pics,OFPCAT has ripped I44 models from operation flashpoint,it's mostly NOT vilas work.

Hmm intressting jojimbo what exactly is you claming is stolen from ofp i44?

[Gunter Severloh 4052]

I can vouch for TRoc, He does his own work, the lib mod tanks that he added to the mod "outside" of the mod team was his work, i'd swear he got more tanks and stuff in the mod then the mod team themselves.

For arma 2 all his stuff was created by him, I think it would be easy to rip something then cough it up in no time, but i think Troc has a system down and knows how to model well enough to make his own thing.

if you look at all the ww2 games that have come out since medal of honor games, most of the games revolve around the west front or itlay, and partiall north africa.

The little east front you see as in call of duty, faces of war, and some other games is not enough to satisfy the massive scale that the Ostfront has to offer.

Not to knock I44 mod and Im all for it, and I'd play it anyday of the week, but i think DDAY is so overplayed. Ostfront brings another part of teh war we really havent seen a whole lot, Id like to add the finnish war into that spectrum to as we have never seen anything other than the Finmod for OFP.

lot of people will say WW2 in general is so over played, so my answer to that is then dont play it, if you dont like WW2 then ignore it, move on.

Nothing like dumb kids complaining about more WW2 when theres plenty of games out there they can go play.

I'd like to play an sandbox openeded WW2 simulated Wargame, 1st, and 3rd, with the terrain, buildings, destructable kind of like faces of war but on a larger scale.

enough said

Any war, in any period, done right, in the Arma engine, is interesting for me.

There has been many WW2 games over the years, but none with the freedom of BIs engine.(god I sound like a fanboy now).

And yes, I have played WW2 online and Red Orchestra. Great games both of them.

Good thing we won't be continuing on that for much longer then ;) (more information to follow in a little while)

As far as these "OFP ports" go, I don't see any connection with T_Roc, Jojimbo only put it in here because "Rudolf/OFPCAT" put "his" work in here too. To prevent any further cluttering of the thread, I'll use PM instead to send a comparison picture.

[HappyBrit 10]

It would be absolutly amazing, where would the map be? Kursk?

[Soldier of Anarchy 10]

Sorry to ask this , did T_ROC make the IS Stalin from OFP, the one that had extras, like russians yelling HUYAAAAA after firing the main gun? I remember his wonderful german armor packs. Just trying to piece together what came from who.....I downloaded all of this some time ago :)

I'm glad both ARMA & ARMA2 will have the chance at WW2 mods. People have to understand ,BIS's approach to war simulation is unique, it's not the run of the mill crap most videogame companies put out. This allows for totally new ways in playing war games/simulations from different periods.....hell, any period.

To simply right off any BIS engine WW2 mod as (OH NO! NOT ANOTHER WW2 GAME!) would be a mistake.

Thanks to all the people who toil for our enjoyment.

And yes, I'm hitting the vodka hard tonight....thank jebus for spell check ;)

Well,there is FDF mod for arma,though much smaller.And there is FWW2 - Finland At War 1939-1945 under development.Also FDF mod is coming for arma2 some day.But of course ,more mods is always the better.;)

[T_Roc 0]

The bigest problem right now for an release of my mod is the lack of an example soldier for to create an working one in game.

For the time being i using modified vilas in game but htis will change when we get something to work with.

[hamis 0]

Maybe you could ask above mentioned finns if they want to exchange some stuff with your mod?

[RUDOLF 9]

What I've been expecting from OFP time is that BIS could make something for WW2 scenario. Now if any patch for it could be done from them in the quality of ARMA2, you guys could imagine what it will mean for us... Oh,maybe just a dream only.

[th3flyboy 0]

short answer, yes

long answer: oh yes!

[NeMeSiS 11]

I would love to see a big Stalingrad.

[belgerot 33]

I don't know if BIS would take something like this into consideration, but it would be something new to see from them. Kind of like when FDF surprised everyone with their WWII expansion back in OFP.

i personally vote no unless we have a chance to play the Nazis. Its got boring from all that games through the years. We never had the chance to play the germans...

[Booga 10]

Because at the end of the day they lost, and no one wants to lose a game because of history :P However I would also like to play as ze Germans, I finally got to play as the British/Common Wealth in BF2's mod Forgotten Hope 2. So why not the Germans this time :)

Uhm... I seriously fail to see why a WW2 eastern front mod wouldnt allow you to play Germans, it would be so stupendously retarded it'd be beyond belief.

Obviously you're going to be able to play Germans or Russians... That's the whole point of an eastern scenario. Whether both sides has a campaign or something is of course a whole other matter.

[topas 1]

Voted 'I don't know' because it's hard not to think what has been written already...The theme itself seems a bit overdone etc..

But as DJH wisely mentioned -> the focus has been to narrow so far; unlike the eastern front.. It has not been given enough credit in any of the games; [well, Red Orchestra was a kind of exception]

If such mod shall be considered an interesting one it would need to cover:

a what if scenario:

or,

a less known part of the fightings... Maybe introduce a new faction for variety? - Yougoslavian or Polish underground or for example the Polish Army fighting in the East, which was the greatest regular military force fighting at the side of the Red Army and advanced alongside them for 1000 kilometers all way to Berlin ;)

I have plans and have already kind of started to recreate some units from that period - the one below is based on a 1960's TVseries :P

but is no way different from RL units as shown here or here

hum, because of the stupid anti-nazi fear spread in all the media?

[Murklor 10]

What "anti-nazi fear"? I havent seen any of this in games.

[belgerot 33]

Very nice to see Topas, I didn't think I would see 'Rudy' ever in a BIS game

I am guessing you are focusing mainly on the Polish Army in the East? It will be interesting to have an army other than the Soviets available on that side.

What I'm most interested in seeing is partisans from that region.

Who cares about the media, as if they don't distort things enough :p

Nazis? Most German soldiers were no nazis, and it's demeaning to say so.

Anyways, you would like Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad i suppose, you get to play as the German Army in a single player campaign there.
