Not a single Unreal Tournament single-player campaign? Weak.
For WW2 fans, Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2 is another one you shouldn’t miss out on.
Turns out, picking just 20 mods > very hard
Personally I *highly* enjoyed the fan-made expansion to Thief 2. I’m a bit surprised it isn’t here, but maybe it’s considered much more than a mod.
So, we are pretty narrow FPS lovers here, aren’t we?
Would have liked to see a Total War mod (Europa Barbarorum or maybe Third Age) instead of, say, Dystopia or The Cassandra Project. Just my two cents.
Not listing Fall For Heaven II for Civ IV == FAIL
Warren and Sana: Y’know, comments like that aren’t in any way productive. We picked 20 mods we liked. Tell us you like Fall of Heaven II or whatever, but don’t be a dick about it.
d.: Not at all. Again, we picked our 20 favourite mods. I like to think there’s a pretty broad spread there, even if a majority involve action of some sort.
