Comment on Motive Studio To Work On Battlefield As Iron Man Game Hits 'Major Internal Milestone'
dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 8 months agoHarsh Doorstop looks like it will be a fun homage to those old modded Counter-Strike 1.6 servers
Yeah except Operation Harsh Doorstop and the underlying Unreal Engine can take mods wayyy farther than modded Counter Strike ever could as it has vehicles and support for large maps :) . Hopefully the impact will be more like how Battlefield 2 mods were pretty much the only place innovation was happening in the multiplayer vehicle shooter genre for years and years.
I did enjoy the weird Counter Strike servers, I got so bored of playing de_dust over and over and over again that I would always seek out the weirdest servers I could find just because it was fun to see new shit lol. I don’t think Operation Harsh Doorstop is going to blow up like Counter Strike did obviously but I do think that small niche communities of players who like certain kinds of vehicle based multiplayer shooters will absolutely form, and it will be those smaller games that rocket the genre forward into a new era.
