My modding life mostly revolved around battlefield 2 and UT 2004 which was the best mods ever made for anything ever
- original tekkit and aether mod. The real og’s of minecraft modding, they hit a high so good Ive only ever been let down ever since. Dont forget to delete you META-INF folder!
- Killing floor 0, excessive headbob straight outta crysis ultra maximum sexual graphics videos on youtube
- red orchestra, again nothing has ever hit this high
- defense alliance 2, im surprised this never got a standalone like killing floor but i remember it being poggers
- forgotten hope 2, still probably the best ww2 game ever made with some actually fun bots that can air drop n shit
- AIX 2.0, its just silly
- project reality, its like squad but i can see things
- refreshing the cry of fear progress bar on moddb
- the tyrannids mod for dawn of war that took ages to release and was kinda mid when it came out but still was the biggest mod. Otherwise the remove unit cap and unit shadows was the natural mod pick for dawn of war
Those are the major ones I remember. Total conversion mods used to be the norm now mods barely even exist
Long war of the chosen for xcom, God I sank an embarrassing number of hours into the game just because of that mod.
I’ve been enjoying most Vintage Story mods, especially Expanded Foods/Cullinary Artillery. Though the amount of AI and vibe coding tolerated amongst VS mods is annoying with no required disclosures, so the game crashes semi often with all the mods I use now. There’s also no complete mod overhaul of the game because it’s sorta young and I’m pretty sure it originally started as a mod for minecraft in the first place (never played modded MC so idk).
Also been wanting to try Turyle WoW for a while, but haven’t started yet
Edit: forgot to say I used to play a ton of Battlefield 2 as well and I just checked in on project reality and they are STILL RELEASING UPDATES??? It’s been like 20 years holy hell
Yeah project reality is fully standalone and still running strong. Turtle WoW got shut down btw
TurtleWoW got shut down from the long running Blizzard lawsuit. Like last month. Sorry to say.
Fucking blizzard
So Twow is still available from Chinese servers, you just have to use a VPN outside of the U.S. to access it.
