Im gonna bitch now

You know, ive noticed something that i find to be a rather bad trend in mods lately. All over the place there are mods right? Well, they all need help. Thats understandable, there arent enough people around that know how to do things. But for some outlandish reason mod leaders decide that having TONS of people on their team is always best. I saw one thats list numbered some like 25 people that they absoultely needed. It was ridiculous. Back in my day mod teams consisted of a coder, a couple mappers, a texture guy (usually one of the mappers doing a double shift) and if youre really lucky a sound guy. None of this webmaster bull****, nobody cares about the webpage. For all matters it could just be a white page with some screenshots every week or so. I think that mod developers have really lost the scope of what a mod is. Its not a thing to try and grab everyones attention with the biggest and best and most eye catching display of your half assed attempt at a CS clone. Its to make an enjoyable experience out of something that everyone has enjoyed to the end. Mods arent about getting loads of mappers, loads of coders, loads of website html monkeys and whatnot. It just seems to me that the whole Mod thing has become a passe buzz word that means alot less than it used to mean. Remember TF for the old Q1? Yeah, how big was that team? And how good did that mod do? how many people have ripped it off because its just so good? And then you look at these others (now, im not picking on any mods right here, theses are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head) like SAS or TO. How big are the teams? How much different are they from tons of other mods out there? i think that its a huge waste having loads of energy being spent on something that is, in the end, just going to be beat out by the next best clone. Its stupid where all the talent is going, mostly into mods that pretend to have new ideas, but are, in the end, just a spin on a played out concept. And then the truly original mods get thrown into the depths of obscurity because these other 'big time' ones are taking up all the space on the news pages because theyve got *ooh* 87 new screenshots of the same stupid item doing the same stupid things. I hate you all.

I think its ****ing ridiculous! There are too many of the big time mods trying to sap the community of all the talent. And nobody seems to notice that there happen to be much better ones out there, all they notice are the ones that have any kind of publicity, whether it be a brand name (DBUT or Sin2Ut or, to a lesser extent, PD2UT) or some cliched style (Strike Force, Tactical Ops, SAS, countless others) and its a joke. What ever happened to originality? i say we **** all these other jokers and do something that people (you heard me, 14 year old CS dweebs wont count as people. Youve got to kiss a girl before you can be up for personhood) will actually care about. Noone wants to see mounds of anti terrorist/terrorist mods anymore. They suck. So what if youve got the same 13 guns that everyone else has. Why not flex your brain muscle and make something up on your own?
eat my ass

yeah, why the hell are there so many mappers? not like half of them actually make maps that people play... its a sad sad world out there. Thank god ive got enough cigarettes to last the night

i just dont see the point of RL mods... why not just go outside and throw rocks at your neighbor? you know what i mean? Its so much more rewarding! Not to mention they cant kick you from the game or put you on an ignore List! Theyve got to listen to every last thing youve got to say.

are they homing peas?
