Does BBS allow mods to use content of other mods? Or what does BBS do?

If thats the case why not borrow Operation Peacekeepers Huey? I heard talking about it being anice addition to PR. http://www.opkmod.de/

Black Sand Studio, BSS, not BBS
And i thank that's what it is, they share and give content between the 10 (i think) mods in it now

OPK should merge with PR. Why make mods that will never get popular? This is no offense to OPK but the BF2 mod community is too small to support many mods especially ones that are similar to each other.

Agreed. German army + Serbia + PR realism = Glory

You could then mix and match. Germany vs China, UK vs Serbs etc... would be kinda cool.

Plus i really love their models and especially the ironsights, they are beatiful. It would attract so many players. The whole of Germany infact. :razz:

mmm...MG3 in PR......mmmmmmmm.......

It's all a pipe dream for now. I'd like to say that it's clear that the PR gameplay is a winning formula, new content would attract alot of players. Once the gameplay is properly polished after a couple of releases, things like this should be seriously considered.

Heh, that would be awesome. I say once we get 1.0 PR, we go to different mods 1 by 1 and PR-ify them! OPK PR, CQB PR (Japan), FH2 PR, yummy, i'm making myself too excited for something... dare i say it, that will never happen

The OPK Huey is a gorgeous model, as are all the OPK assets imo.

But it's the wrong kinda Huey for the USMC. They stopped using single engine Huey's a long time ago.

Someone really needs to PR'ify NAW Tourney Mod. They have arty-smoke barrages that look like nuclear bombs, and they do actually have nuclear bombs.

Yeah, I don't think the Huey OPK uses is the current one that the USMC uses today.

In any case, I'd love to see OPK's MG3 for the MEC as an alternate on some maps, or perhaps a stationary gun emplacement.

Just because of their know-how, think if the POE guys merged with PR.

Guys why do you want all mods to merge with Pr, in any case all mods are diferent, when you say merge FH2 with PR, that would be pointles, FH2 is a ww2 realism mod, not modern day. The thing is each mod has there own special quality so what makes you think they will not do well, alot fo the mods in the works now have been around since bf42, or bfv. EOD has been around since bf42, same wiht FH2, POE was bfv along with OPK, so their old comunity might take over. And when most are part of BSS, they are practically all merged in a way by working together and doing stuff for each other team.

"Guys why do you want all mods to merge with Pr"


i downloaded poe2 last night decided to give it a shot. #1 mod db.... how many people are playing? 12... biggest server is 8 people.

PR is the opposite, its rare to see the game without a few servers in the high 50's, then a handful in the 20-40's

these modders are putting so much time in to something that most likely wont be played, but if say, their models are added in to PR, they will be.

sure some things like FH2 + PR wouldnt make sense (and would NEVER happen) adding modern day models/armies/whatever to PR would both get their stuff seen/appreciated, aswell as adding TONS of content to PR

think of how amazing it would be if PR had 2 more armies and the maps and vehicles to boot? it would add a ton of variety

- So far, the following teams are on board: Battlegroup Frontlines, US Intervention, Project Reality, Eve of Destruction, BF Korea, Conspiracy of Nod, and Operation Peacekeeper. , I got this off their site, under the black sand studio post...

I couldn't agree more. PR + OPK is great, I like even more the idea of PR + OPK +
POE... but I think's very unlikely.

I think it is pretty possible to add opkcontent,because they said that they are indeed part of black sand studio...if you do not believe read the article titled black sand studios on their page.

Guys... merging mods isn't a common practice. PoE2 & PR merging? You have a better chance of winning the lotto than hoping on that. Both mods have their own visons, concepts and such on how the game should play. You really think all that realism is going to appeal to the PoE players? You think 1 man tanks will fly with PR?

Judging by player numbers little about POE appeals to POE players.

Let's not slag the work of other modders on these forums pls. PoE is a tremendous achievement in many ways and I hate slagging the work of modders and particularly don't like it coming from within our community.
