The V2 Thread

leb, you talking to me? i think your mod sounds cool, hey at least your innovative. im just joking about the cheating part. by the way i bought cod 2 today. its great if you like single mission shooters, but sucks if you like playing multipl;eyer. i had to plug it. its good though, very good. it'd be cool if this can have an expansion, if theres already one in production- killer,be good ifit allows more of a diversity of the tech and weapons that were used in ww2. i was reading in another thred about kamikazes- thats cool. actually having to research radar would be cool also. tres cool.

Nah, Leb was talking about the person crying cheater.

What this guy believes is that its impossible to improve upon a game after its been released. So guys stop modding because he says so If fact, lets roll it back to version 1.005

What I find funny is that he actually thinks this. That we can't, though our experience with the game, find ways to improve upon the release version. He doesn't understand that companies can't spend forever playtesting a game. They have to push it out the door sooner or latter saying "its good enough." How he can refer to balance like its perfect and shouldn't be tampered with shows his lack of understanding game design. The fact is that after a game is released and has had many more man hours invested in it, balance issues begin to show up that were not discovered during beta testing. Of coarse a game can and should be tamperred with after its been released. Most great wargames continue to be tweaked for years. I have followed Avalon Hill's Third Reich for many years. Through Advanced and now World at War(no relation) which is the latest revision. Players are always finding ways to improve this game. To condemn others for attempting to improve a game shows your total lack of understanding of how things are done in the game community.

Do you think that 2by3 has got a monopoly on good ideas? That if it doesn't come from them it stinks? If you hate what I have done to the game so much then don't play my mod. In fact I guess you will refuse to play the lastest patch too. Because its got some of my ideas in it. The latest patch is using x2 rather than x3 for US production after Japan declars war, and they have finally beefed up Spain which I had done in "Strait Deal." You see, modding ideas can flow back in the other direction and become official. We modders are not twisting the game and wasting everyones time as you so kindly put it. You call it sacrilage when a modder makes a small tweak but its totally OK when it comes from 2by3. Get a brain! Where do you think 2by3 is getting their ideas from? They are listening to us on the Forum. Yes us. So we are shaping the game. Accept it.

Ya I'm referring to mdh1204. Read his posts under my thread Franco's Alliance 2.0Beta. I think you'll agree with me thats hes pretty rude. Never had I gotten such nasty comments for my mod before. Others who had a small disagreement were more civil about it. Its like I insulted him by just making it. So if you read them then come back to this thread and read his new ones, you'll see a pattern and understand what he's saying between the lines in this thread. He thinks I'm cheating in some way because I took away the rough terrain in two places. He doesn't seem to understand the effect freezing Spain has.

Lebatron,
this is too good to be true. Remember i emailed you regarding the downloading of your mod cause i didnt know what to do? Well i played that clown mhd1204 two games. i was allies he was axis. he quit both games after recieving my spring 40 turns. he inferred that i was cheating or something and that i modded the files and put a stamp time thing on it and some protocol thing and then said im a theif and i wanted to hack into his computer; to get what? his subscription to I NEED A LIFE CLUB. this guy is a critic cause he cant mod, yet he wishes he could, so he bashes the successful works of others. he cant play, but he thinks he can. get this one he thinks the unfreezing of russia thru prussia is a cheat its in the game you idiot. if you move the inf out of their you activate russia regardless i f i attack. game 1 scenario spring 40 i get his completed turn. hes left my destoyer from the benelux untouched, he left his sub in the midatlantic untouched, he doesnt repair anything in western france, deploys the Iti fleet with out air cover in med., doesnt deploy the fleet or transports in the baltic, uses up more than 120 supplies first turn not fixing anything i could see, doesnt have an arty in western france leaves the militia and supplie sin sardinia, trie sto take malta, and dumps troops in africa. i respond by deploying 2 destroyers to his sub(dmgd), most of my navy to the med. take control of the med isolating his guys in africa and take ethipopa with the inf from egypt and move him back. i used up 58 supply and had 2 left. he accused me of doing something goofy so ghe sent me a new game file, with pretty much the same results after i completed the turn. then he accused me of thinking he was an idiot becuase i obviously altered the game somehow to get the edge. no pal i didnt think your an idiot up untill that point, now i think oyutr a big idiot who obviously cant play this game very well at all. you seem to have lots to say about everything evryubody else posts. do you talk to yourself, if not maybe you should start cause then youd always hear the answers your looking for. oh yeah the best part is when he responded to me advising him the second game about how to not leave yourself open for early activations of the states and russia and he ignorantly said he has been playing strategy game ssince he was 9 and now hes 40. i guess the game syou played didnt come with subs, cause you left that sub in the atlantic both games, did you think it was invisible or invincible?

[Fallshirmjager]

hey mdh1204,
why dont you play harrybanana or jan sorenson if your the soldat or generalfeildmarschall you think you are? better yet go play the othe rstrategy gamesyour so purportedly good at cause you suck at this one, and blow too.

[JanSorensen]

Guys, please ALL of you - stop bashing each other on a personal level. Its gone well and beyond overboard and I dont think its doing any of us any good at all. So, lets just stop right now. That includes NOT replying to what I said here by claiming your innocense because that would only include more indirect flaming - but simply stopping. Enough is enough - lets stop scaring people away by being petty fools.

[Daykeras]

I agree with Jan. We're small enough as it is. Let's just be nice and get along. If we don't agree, we don't agree. Leave it at that
