A statement from an Insurgency dev team member (and a PR player)

[TT]engineer · Post by **[TT]engineer** » 2008-01-31 11:44

First off, #2 is NOT bad for a BF2 mod. In fact, I thought Empires was going to be #2 simply because it's a HL2 mod. I'd say PR earned it's place if it can beat Empires.

Secondly, why the hate? Yes, we "beat" you in what boils down into a "player's choice" e-penis contest. That doesn't mean we're out to shut down PR or anything, it just shows that there's more HL2 players than BF2 players on average.

Yes, 2.0 didn't turn out well, which is why 2.1 is aiming at totally fixing the gameplay fowlups 2.0 caused. But posting reflex "lol ins fag on internets lol" posts are totally counter-productive to actually HELPING us make a BETTER mod, and it makes your community look bad. And then the "DERK UH DUHR" inter-forum flame wars will eventually start, and it all goes downhill from there. We'll both look like shit, lose players and get bad press. You DON'T want that, trust me.

Finally, when you pulled into my garage, was there a sign on the front of my house that said "Dead Insurgent Storage"?

Thanks,

hey, congrats on your 1st place in MOTY

I dont think you have said any devs state your mod is ****, all we have stated is the same as you, more HL2 players play/try mods than BF2 players.

I do wish everyone would stop mod bashing, we get bashed by vbf2, our community bashes vbf2, CS, and any other game/mod thats not like PR, and ye it really doesn't get any one anywhere... theres no war between mod teams as some of you may think

I aint played v2 of INS but in your first release I did post lots of feedback on your forums guys, just that to play your mod I would have to install HL2 / steam again, get all the updates etc which takes for ever soo think I'll just stick to PR as your mod wasn't quite for me but was still good

So ye guys, please stop bashing mods, lots of hard work has been put into all of them, you guys dont like it when some one bashes PR so plz dont bash other mods

Firstly, congratualtions on the MOD DB result! I personally have never played INS for HL2. Too much like CS: S for me and I never liked CS tbh, but having seen screenshots, the work you guys have done sure looks well

Secondly....what are you on about?

You will find that no one from the PR Team has said a bad word against the Inurgency mod. I certainly haven't seen any. "Dead Insurgent Storage"? You have lost me completely now

Never said the PR devs bashed INS, it's what i'd call the "short bus commandos" on both sides that instigate the stuff.

I havn't played the latest versions of ins for the same reason as rhino

But when I tested it I really liked it, I really like infantry combat so for me the mod was great. And I really don't like when ppl "hate" other mods and games just beacuse they are not like there favorit game(s).

i play INS from time to time.. what i like best about Ins is the CQB.. pr is so much bigger with combined arms etc.. and thats a gametype which suits me better, but for cqb INS is very good!

Well, after viewing your first post here in this thread, and comparing it to eggman's congratulatory post on the INS forums, I'd say your post was in quite a different manner. I personally find this post quite arrogent, especially upon seeing you saying the same on the INS forums and your own team members replying rebutting your thoughts.

I'm locking this, and suggesting that if you want to whinge, PM me or a red tagged team member.
