<div class="IPBDescription">help me find some good ones</div> Well, I finally bought UT2k4 and should receive it shortly. Now as a total noob of the game, is there anything you could suggest to me? ie. good mods or else?

I got Red Orchestra ready and I'm already drooling over the eon pictures, but what good mods are there and what are their websites? I'd prefer good working mods because I hear mods such as Neotokyo aren't exactly finished products.

Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think it has reached the point that I realy have to get ut2K4

    the number of mods that look like they will realy come out, and look good is just to many now.

    The Red Orchestra looks like any other WW2 mod out there, but Air Bucaneers looks like a breath of fresh air. Downloading now.

    hey guess why I just got it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It seems like Half-Life all again. Good game, but even greater considering the mods <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->



    Anyway, yeah RO seems like yet another WWII game, but Air Bucaneers looks like fun. Wee for ballon fights <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Does Alien Swarm have bot support (ie can I play it single-player)? I see Air Buccaneers does, but when I saw the trailer for Swarm ("OMG IT'S ALIEN BREED!!") I decided I <i>had</i> to have it. Trouble is that my poor little modem can't really handle anything more complicated than Half-Life.

    Also, anyone know of other decent single player-able mods for 2k4, and whether the excellent Marble Mania (Marble Madness with the UW engine) is still compatible with 2k4?

    That is kind of the whole point. It's multiplayer CO-OP against swarms of aliens and can be played SP. Though the AI is a bit dodgy and it isn't as fun playing it that way.

    Play it and you'll see the difference.

    Gamespy actually recently did a HUGE article on it- everything they say is right with it. I especially reccommend getting the community bonus pack, being its REALLY high quality stuff for free.

    Here's a link to the article:

    Troopers is pretty fun if you're into the whole star wars scene, but are sick of jedi games. Actually I'm not that in to Star Wars but i still think it's fun as hell.

    Basically storm troopers and rebels shooting the crap out of each other with laser guns.

    Yeah, I pretty much summed it up, now didn't I? Alien Swarm is nothing less than fantastic. Not only is it the most polished mod out there, it's also the most fun.

    Take the classic Alien Breed, add ut2k4's graphics, brilliantly scripted missions that requires loads of teamplay, a coop campaign and you have what I would call the best mod out there. For any game.

    Hell, if this game in a $49.99 box, I wouldn't hesitate buying it. It's that good. It's that complete.

    EDIT: As for Marble Mania. They're working on a ut2k4 version. it's virtually complete but needs a new GUI. Should be great fun once its out.

    I can't really add to what anyone else said, but I'd definitely also recommend Air Buccaneers as well. Sure, a few animations is missing here and there. and it's also a bit buggy. But it's definitely the most original mod I've seen in a while.

    Flying pirate ships? Ingenious!

    Definitely Alien Swarm is one of the best mods out there, for any game. Even if you don't think it would be your type of game, give it a go.

    My personal fav of all the mods so far is "Carball"- stupid, mindless, fun.
