"Outstanding" Mods

xheadshotmastax · Post by **xheadshotmastax** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:01 am

Soooo im just telling my opinion so the creators of the map i call below,dont take that as a offence.

How do fun mods like this ( http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=48457 ) do immedatly get moved into the outstanding forum and kinda this one ( http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=44537) wich even had a 5 Stars review by Tural ( http://www.halomods.com/site2/geeklog-1 ... 4122529675 ) on the halomods main page do not get moved there.

IMO there are alot of other Mods of various other creators that deserve the outstanding forum as well, if this soccer mod deserves it.
Is there still something like "fairness" on this site?

Well, I guess that's actually more laziness on the staff's side. However, I can't be at fault, considering I've no idea what makes a good Halo 2 mod. You'll have to get on to TheTyckoMan or someone.

We should be able to vote for the mods wich could go to "Outstanding" Mods

We are currently compiling a list of outstanding mods to move in to that section.

Paraiso was good but it wasnt really "outstanding" you didnt really try anything "new" i agree that outstanding mods is somewhat biased but i think it should be reserved for mods that are revolutionary, brand new things, stuff that has never even been attemtped before. Nightwinder 2 was good as well but it also did not have anything "revolutionary" in it. i understand your grief and see how this is unfair but if it were up to me (and it's not) there wouldnt be anything new in there until Halo 3.

No offense to you headshot, but I don't think people who complain about their mod not being in the outstanding mods forum should get their's placed there.

i injected over 50 sounds for all weapons, and the grunt death/pain sound was new, since people all the time had trouble getting a custom UDLG ( unit dialouge ) to work.
ive released the information with the mod.
i think getting new pain/death sounds for the singleplayer bipeds to work was brand new either with this mod i setted custom sounds to a standart.
but yeah everyone has its own opinion about it.
good that you understand how i mean it, deathbysn00sn00

either i do understand what you mean by a revolutionary mod. But things like that wont probably happen anymore since almost "everything" has been done now.

i do understand what you mean, if i wanted i couldve also made this post over a friends account wich wouldve been silly in my opinion. so i rather use my account for sharing what i think.

Headshot, you've made some truly outstanding mods (no pun intended) and I'm surprised many of them haven't been moved.

Paraiso kicked serious ass. I say it's worthy of Outstanding.

Maybe that's a good reason why it's not. I'd love to hear how you would classify Outstanding Halo 2 mods when Halo 3 comes out.

deathbysn00sn00 · Post by **deathbysn00sn00** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:23 pm

the introduction of new things to the game, something "outstanding" that changes the way we all mod. you don't have to agree but my opinion is just as valuable as yours.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:32 pm

I think you misunderstood the meaning of my post. Anyways, Outstanding mods are not classified solely by innovation.

"Outstanding" doesn't mean something new; rather, it means that something STANDS OUT (hence the name OutStanding). To have a mod entered in the "Outstanding" area, I feel you just need to do something that makes your mod stand out, and in a good way. A skin, for instance, is and always will be a skin; however, Greennc has several in there. Has he done anything groundbreaking or revolutionary? Sure! He skinned a heck of a lot better than the rest of us. That's all it should take.

you took the words out of my mouth, this is what i have been trying to say in so many words and Parasio is good just nothing outstanding, it's got a decent skin some vehicles injected, yes it has new sounds but it's really not that amazing. but to each their own.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:24 pm

You're blatantly contradicting yourself. You just got done saying Outstanding is something that changes the way we all mod, now you're saying that innovation has nothing to do with being an Outstanding mod.

Personally, I think Paraiso was one of the best mods that I've seen here. It looks like ALOT of work was put into that, and It was just flat out fun to play.

it can be both i never blatantly contradicted myself.

on another note how does the forums biggest troll become "staff" wtf?!

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:59 pm

A better question would be why are you instigating conflicts with the staff? Just because you don't like what I say doesn't make me a "troll." That last statement was borderline flaming, I suggest avoiding those types of comments.

Those statements are contradictory.

I love this thread. deathbinoobs, give it up. The Paraiso I don't really like, but it seems it might deserver to be oustanding. I think he added a Spectre, or whatever, and I don't think many people have done that before. Anyways, the soccer mod's not great. And the guy who wrote this said Paraiso is only sorta.
