To date I have never released any mods to the public. I have made loads of mods and mutators for Unreal Tournament (not 2k3) but never seriously made any changes to RA2 apart from messing around on missions by giving GI's the Mayan Prism shot (haven't we all?! :lol: )
Now I have decided I am at least going to TRY to make a proper mod by adding all my ideas together. So far I have no story line but I don't think it's necessarily needed. I just want to add new things to RA2 so here goes...
NOTE: I do NOT have Yuri's Revenge.
NOTE2: Don't neccesarily worry about damage and ROF. I'll balance things out
NOTE3: I know some of these may seem overpowered but I will most likely add new tech levels.
1. Apocalypse Seige Tank
The Apoc can be deployed to give it stronger armour and slightly better firepower.
2. Tesla Storm Tank
This baby will DEFINITELY need stolen allied technology at the least!!!! When it's mobile it's a regular Russian tesla tank but when it's deployed and charged by several Tesla Troopers it can unleash a single thunderbolt every so often from a relatively safe distance. Obviously it will have a MASSIVE ROF and it will cost a fortune.
3. Tesla Drones
Same as a regular terror drone but is not parasitic. Instead it carries a weak tesla core and fire short range bolts at nearby enemies. Low damage but at a low price too.
4. Flak Miner
We have the war miner to gun down infantry and light vehicles but why not protect the miner from air assaults? The Flak miner carries a low damage Anti-Air only Flak Cannon to keep unwanted flies away.
5. Prism Grenadiers
As the name suggests: Guys with grenades the explode with lots of nice lights! The prism shards will not be too strong but powerful enough to keep a small group of conscripts away with just one of these.
6. Aegis Bombers
Using a system similar to the Medusa rockets on board the Aegis Cruisers these war planes are designed for high speed and maximum damage. Especially handy for weakening tank rushes these planes fire a series of 6 high-homing, low-damage missiles (5 of these = 1 harrier bomb) at a target in quick succession (similar to a hornet)
7. Shrapnel Sniper (needs a better name, I know!)
This sniper is equipped with a very expensive rifle that uses specially designed fragmentation sniper bullets. When the bullet hits a target there is a chance that the units around it will take upto 50% damage too. Ineffective against armor and comes with a price.
8. Storm Generator
This is an extension to the weather control device. It is a defensive structure that has quite a long range (slightly more than grand cannon) but a big ROF and requires quite a bit of power. It will control the weather and command a thuderbolt to strike the poor little tanks that think they can get close!
This is what I have so far. Some units are obviously country based and others aren't. I'm working on coming up with more ideas. Some of the above may not even be possible and I am useless with graphics so I will be using online resources until a miracle happens and I can make one myself OR someone gives me a hand. I'm not taking offers for graphics at the moment though. Let's just see if I can put more of the difficult coding together!
I will appreciate any feed back or ideas that you guys have.
