A Patient Person

Thats Me!


That has to be one of the strangest series of screen names I've seen. But anyway

P.P.S. If your soooo bored with Contra 007, Try Remix escalation.


Hehe, yea, because remix is so nicely balanced. :rolleyes: It is insanely fun to play though, and progress is starting to move again (once I convince myself to learn to script AI).

Although, does anyone have a link to an AI scripting tutorial or something? Else, I'll trust my child-like instinct & "play" with it.

On the 5th of April 2011 Creator said "There is not much remaining." Does that mean the not much remaining in 1 more year? In 3 months my mate scripted and mapped the whole of san andreas. In cod2 1 guy made fantstic trailer in 1 week not 5 months like it took here. But fine I am still waiting.

I was not being rude I appreciate the work you do. But some things don't take that long. But whatever I will be waiting till 21st of December 2012 :D When the world ends :p

P.S Sorry for double post but as a guest I can't edit.

Not much remaining at the time until we discovered that there are more bugs with the Alpha than expected.

This mod was supposed to be awesome... was supposed since it will never come.
Sorry, but I've seen people doning far more complex mods in shorter time than this.
Either way Creator is lazy as hell or he has other things to do. Either way it's disrespectful not to inform on approx time of release of this mod for those who patiently wait.
Think about it practically, the longer people wait for this mod, the least there will be to play it eventually and your work will be wasted. I myself barely remebered there was some nice CnC mode named contra.
I guess it's up to you to decide wheather you should pull your shit together and finish the mod soon or stop working on it at all. If you will release it in second half of 2012, very little people will paly it. This dgme gets older and EA is already working on another CnC Generals. Rethink your idea.

Define more complex. I'm not aware of any other than Blitzkreig that goes for its own campaign. Blitzkreig is quite good and complex. Not sure I like it more because it may be too complex.

You could pay him. Money is always a nice incentive to work harder. Besides, the approx time of release, as with any mod, is "when it's done." There's no direct schedule to keep to, no deadlines to meet, no money riding on it, so it's far easier for mods and the like to fall on the back burner. It's like with any hobby: You don't spend as much time on it as you'd like because you have other things that need to be done. At least until you're rich or retired. To be fair, it's disrespectful to act entitled, believing others owe you their work for no compensation. So again, if you want to complain, you better be paying for this mod. Otherwise you lose absolutely nothing for waiting longer.

Think about it practically, the longer people wait for this mod, the least there will be to play it eventually and your work will be wasted.

If you will release it in second half of 2012, very little people will play it.


I've started to work on Remix. The ONLY reason I'm doing so is because my friends and I play it a lot. I don't care if anyone else plays it. I play it, as do my friends, and that's all that really matters. It's a pet project. Were all those people who play contra paying Creator for the privileged, you'd have a point. But as it is the number of people who follow the mod really is meaningless. And besides, to stop working on the mod would be to waste all the time and effort already put into it. Creator could just as easily keep the mod private for himself and friends, but instead chooses to share it. And you act as if he owes you something for being so generous.

Good mods take time and effort. Many good mods out there developed with FULL TEAM for 5-7 years.
Contra has ONLY ONE permanent developer - Creator - until after Contra 007.

Either way it's disrespectful not to inform on approx time of release of this mod for those who patiently wait.

If you said something like this on other mod forums, your post would be locked and you will surely receive a warning.
As Apoc said, we're working on this for free with our time. If you're unsatisfied, go play something else.
And those who patiently wait wouldn't say something like you did.

There are a lot of activities behind the scene, but you simply don't realize it. Blind yourself with impatience if you want.
It's fine if EA released a new C&C, which probably has no mod support (considering Frostbite Engine and DLC announcement).
Mod has kept C&C alive for years afterward. Cutting that off wouldn't make a new game a better one.

Creator is not lazy. He never stopped working on Contra. Don't wait for Contra and wait for Generals 2, if you don't like the mod and our work. We are not forcing you to play it or wait for it. And for your information, many people are playing Contra online every day, it is the most played C&C Generals ZH mod on Garena (every day 100+ players at once). We are trying to make 008 the best of all, that's why it's taking longer. You will probably change your mind after playing 008. Commenting like this does not help us with anything. Do not play Contra if you don't like it!

it will never come

If you think it will never come, why did you type all the stuff after it?

And one more time, if you don't like the progress, do not wait for 008, just go play another mod and don't annoy us.

Actually if Generals 2 is anything like Tiburium Twilight people wont even want to play it. theyll default to the better game, and the better mods.
This being the better one :)

You boy, are a person with no respect to the mod creator(s) of this wonderful and absolutely amazing mod. And you get what you give. If you think you can talk sh*t about people and that makes you sound cool, then you seriously need to grow up - fast! You are what we call in Sweden "an empty barrel, and empty barrels clatter the loudest". That means you're making loud sounds, but they don't mean anything!
