Minos Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Stumbled upon this. Brings back so many memories. It's so sad to see the current situation of the modding community ( http://www.kifferstuebchen.de/index.php ... le&item=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dux Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Man, serious nostalgia trip there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazy Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah, that period from 2000-2003 was damn good stuff. I always get über nostalgic when I think back on hanging out for hours each day in #mapcore, almost daily playtesting fresh new maps and having an ocean of cool (and often kinda broken ) mods to check out. Good times~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 It's kinda like when rock and roll was invented or something cool like that Doom Quake Duke Nukem 3d Quake 2 Half-Life It will never happen again. The golden age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectroSheep Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am disappointed to have missed that period, I discovered Internet in 2007 only and I really wanted to share my maps before that (with cs1.6 is that I really start modding) That's cool I kow 80ù of those maps, love snowfacility, one of my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Is there a golden age of modding back in the Quake 2 days? I liked it when a mod could just be a cool idea and roll with default assets, rather than a "safe" idea with production values rivalling a commercial game for free.

dux Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Where everything takes 7 years to create! Needs 300000000ghz processors, tries to emulate realism and looks brown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evert Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I liked it when you didn't have executive producers and marketing managers in mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourences Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The 1999 - 2003 age was a fantastic time for all the major communities, after that it all went downhill I remember we had planetunreal (the planet sites!) with like 200 hosted mod and mapping websites, with an avalanche of community news and new releases every day. And you could actually cook up something outstanding all on your own without spending 40 months in 20 different programs. And if you did well you'd really be noticed, you'd get a set of reviews, map of the week/month/whatever awards, pop up on the news sites and so on... Nowadays the most you can get for making something cool is maybe a Like on Facebook... Not much left of all of it... Instead the whole thing expanded like crazy and then split up in a bilion small sub communities, dropped modding and got into indie games, and subsequently lost its original level design focus.
