Well, the title says it all.
Oh, for the admins, this does belong to the modding forum.

lol, if it was for the demo, I wouldn't have buy the game either, it ran once, then it made my computer crash anytime. And the only working time was quite catastrophic. they should have given act0 for demo, not the begining of act1. It was... well, really stupid.

[Pera]

I tried the demo and got the whole game later. I have to say that the demo sucks, it shows nothing about how the game really is.

Also the flight model seems a bit clumsy in the demo.

BTW Venom, what does this have to do with FS modding, explain?

I'm also less than impressed by:
the screen shots,
voice acting (from demo),
ship disign (just don't like the style of the ships),
plot,
gameplay,
backgrounds,
graphics,
ease of moddability,
and it's mission editor.

How can you be less than impressed by the plot judging by the demo?

Gameplay is always arguable, but I like newtonian style flying 10 times better than FS2:s flight model.

Voice acting is bad indeed, especially the main charecter(Cal)

I don't understand your complaint about it's graphics, it's not quite as good as FS2, but the engine has to model much larger areas than FS2:s. And IMHO IW2 Explosions are the best ones I've seen in space sims. Except Klingon Academy of course  

I haven't tried modding it very much, but when compared to FS2, almost any game is hard to mod. And a mission editor? IW2 has a mission editor, Huh?

 

[Fineus]

I have it, love it, etc...

[Zeronet]

Damn i just realised! I forgot to put my saves on my new comp ack! Damnit.

[Alikchi]

Yeah, I got it. Whaddya want?

[delta_7890]

I got it too.  Love that game.  Hmm...Venom must be planning some sort of mod...can't think of any other reason for him to start this thread.

They're planning it already, but I myself would love to see B5 total conversion for IW2.   But hey... it's also in progress... now, where the hell is POG!?

Hmm, maybe we should do HW>Iwar2 after we finish the FS one  

[phreak]

go ahead noone is stopping you.

? Iwar2 gfx are way better... design is a question of tastes, but the polycount is higher, colour count for maps is higher, there's bump mapping, support for lights, transparency, 2sided maps, self illuminated maps, animated objects, the engine is much more optimized etc
bob, honestly:
"ease of moddability, "
What the hell? the guys who already made ships for Iwar2 say it's easier than for FS2. There's no mission editor, right, but the scripting editor will be released soon, along with, yes! the SDK (FS2 SDK anyone???).
Your arguments are based on nothing.

Otherwise, yes, I plan to do a mod of some sort, so I just want to know how many guys already have it, or how many will have it when OtT is done. If there's two guys, it's not worthy for me.
