Common Units in generals mods.

smurfbizkit · 10-20-2003, 06:11 PM

Ra2 had the horrible "prism trooper", along with a slew of other overused ideas in mods. What about Generals? I was just reading a topic here...and I realized that I must have seen a dozen or so abrams tank models for the game. Nearly all of them sticking to the same cartoony format to get them to fit in with generals. Now, this isn't nearly as annoying as units like the "prism trooper" but...it is definitely overused. Any other comments on overused ideas/units?

Whose topic might that have been?

The Abrams isn't too overused. All the n00b mods have that one tor2308 (or whatever) made, but mine and his seem to be the only ones, and only one of them is Generals style. So I don't know where you've seen multiple Abrams models. Although they get stuck in every mod.

As for overused stuff:

Abrams (That one by tor is every mod)
Apache (That one by tor is every mod)
Reenabling carpet bombing/terror cell/mig strike
Most of the models on CNCReneclips
Original Crusader is around a ton too

Edit: I just ran a search for Abrams Tanks. Fed11 made one several months ago, but it never was circulated

I think alasz got em all, hehe.

noooooo, there have to be more of 'em...

I don't think there are. Its not like RA2 where any idiot can make a voxel in 10 min. Most people think out what they're going to make, or d/l other ppls stuff.

I definitely agree with you. I'd like to see less cartoony styled units and more realism. I've pretty much seen enough tanks made for the game... I haven't seen anyone making ships so i think thats the only part of generals yet to be exploited

The thing I don't like is how people go for all the realistic unit names and models. But go for the cartoony skins.

:cry:

People need to make more originoal units all the standard stuff gets boring after awhile.

Its hard to be original when everythings already been done before.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

I have a BILLION mod ideas that no one has done for cnc yet...most very original. I am sure others have ideas like this as well. There are plenty of things left for people to do...you just have to think "outside the box".
