Modding Wishlist

To see some of the game mechanics extended and the rpg aspect enhanced, I felt the storytelling of the campaign let down S2 but i am sure that a fan made mod could create their own world and story with ease.

I've only been at this for maybe a week, but the main reason I picked it up was for the RPG/gameplay aspects. I wasn't necessarily looking for a great storyline, but it hasn't exactly let me down yet. I think they did pretty darn well for the clue system they devised, and having seen nothing like it before I think it's innovative enough that if the story were lacking it wouldn't matter.

 

That said, you have a point; someone could take that ball and run with it, and spend some real time and effort on an exceptional storyline with the clue system's framework.

 

Also, that "landmates" discussion makes me wonder... is a mech-armor mod - and I'm talking about those GIANT humanoid mechs, the Robotech-type ones - even a remote possibility?...

don't know if anyones mentioned this yet, but a Mechwarrior mod would be AWESOME, especially considering the destructability of well-nigh everything in S2 and pre-existance of rockets and lasers and such. there could be, like, shrunken buildings and character models and everything and big mechs that you can hop in like PKs! yeah!

What I'd like so see, boring as it may sound, is a more realistic/historical squad. You know like a sargent and few privates as opposed to a group of specialist commandos. Something along the lines of "Band of Brothers" would be great. Even a "Saving Private Ryan" mod would be good. Another great touch would be to have the squad memebers have a great familiarity with the weapons that match their nationality at the start of the mod to encourage the player to stick with those weapons. As a matter of fact, I think I'll play my next campain with all soldiers and see how it goes.
