Definitely not going to see this mod before CnC 2. There has been no updates, no changes, and pretty much everyone has given up on it. Which is too bad, because 007 was great, and I feel like 008 would have been great too if it were ever finished. If this mod is not going to hit before Fall, could a moderator just let us know? A simple heads-up would be cool instead of yankin' our chains.

BLA BLA BLA....

What are you talking about no updates and changes? Dont you read Contra News Eng? Dont you track mod db? We have more updates than any zero hour mod. And you can expect beta testing version this year too...So no crying for nothing....CnC2 will be good in the beginning but you will give it up fast, since its not modable so you will have enough of few factions and units....

Here you go, links for you so you can read latest news:

Hey, I know you are doing the art for Contra 008, just wondering; Did you change the generals portraits? They freak me out in 007, really ugly and stuff.

Most likely generals pictures will look normal in 008. This means they wont be like in 007 "funny".

I love this, I'm looking forward to the release.

Is there just campaign and models and skins left to work on? Are all the fixes and balanceing from the "Contra 008 change log" topic finished?

Yes, changelog is done. But fixing and balancing continued under "hidden" section of this forum made only for project team. A year, and two years ago, here was only Creator project team member, and ofcourse boss of Contra. But, with time he got many help, many new project team members joined and because of that private section of this forum became more active. We passed beyond changelogs and continued our work.

Few models left to be improved, and few new models left to be finished for campaign. I think about 10 models are in work now.

Campaign is still under construction, its logical since they cant finish some map before new model is done so mappers can insert them. Also, we extended storyline with several surprises for players which wont be revealed in any update, but they need to be made too. Just because you cant see it, it does not means we are not making it.

But, most important, graphic and music adjustment left to be done. In particular, menu will be changed, game will become new light mechanism, new music...basically we are trying to make it unique as possible, and different than any other mod.

[dcesarec]

And ofcourse, anyone with good skills: photoshop texturing, 3d modelling, WB mapping, music composing, and available to work continuous on its task is welcome to help us and to speed up the progress!

i found a link to download contra 008 alpha 2 in rutracker is it safe to download it?

We did not released Alpha2 to public because it was not ready. Alpha2 is now almost one year old and has nothing to do with alpha3, and work after alpha3. Many things are changed since then, many problems are fixed. You wont be able to do anything with it. You cant play it with friend, ai is not working in this version. Half of the units presented are not in alpha2. It was testing version for project team. Its like its not Contra...its something....

Have patience....Beta will be released to public test, i think soon.

And keep in mind that everyone can post a fake torrent full of viruses.

Nothing serious, just the end of the world.

[Creator]

Ah, yet another one. If memory serves me well, it will be the 86th or 87th end. It was the time when I counted them.
