A Petition from the MP Community
Posted: Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:33 am
Speaking for the MP community playing the campaign mod, at least for those who post below that they agree, and assuming MP mods were not going to be enabled in the next patch:
The MP community requests some form of MP gameplay mods to be allowed, in some way, as soon as possible. We would very much appreciate it.
We know you've been planning on mod support at some point, but you've said it will take a lot of work to figure out an elaborate system for ensuring compatibility. We understand that, but think it would be more beneficial for the community to have something simple to work with in the meantime so we can fix our own problems.
It's been almost nine months since the game is released and we've had to deal with some serious gameplay issues this whole time, which we could have fixed in a matter of days with modding allowed. These issues couldn't be properly fixed for us in a patch, because we need to be able to try different things before we hit on something most of us like.
The MP community appears to have nearly doubled in size in the past three weeks. We've had at least 60 players in 100 battles in the five weeks since this campaign started, and there's no sign of it slowing down.
Obviously we like the game, or we wouldn't have stuck around so long, but it could be much better. The more the MP community is happy, the more it will grow, more people will buy the game and more will play it.
We have an auto-updating launcher which can be used for starting the game and ensuring that all players have the same version of the mod. We account for at least 95% of the MP that happens, and if anything went wrong we can fix the problem or stop using mods on the spot. It would be our own responsibility.
Thank you for reading this. Any players who agree with this request please post below:
