So has anyone played the Republic Commando 2 mod by Veamon Studios?

If so, what are your thoughts on it?

Link to it Here for those who haven't seen it:

I haven't played it, but it looks great! I actually heard a rumor that the real RC2 was cancelled. If it was cancelled... , but it's just a rumor. I should probably reinstall RC, since I just love Earth based stuff!

I thought RC2 was always a rumor in and of itself?

Republic Commando 2 was never in development...

The mod looks pretty good, but their site is awful. It's a huge eyesore.

I agree. A lot.

Oh jeez, please don't remind me of this.. Don't get it unless you like 10+ trando elites bum-rushing you. At once. Also, the gameplay was horrible for me. Took me forever to get halfway through the first level. This is just my opinion, feel free to try it at your own risk though, because you gotta reinstall Republic Commando to get rid of it.

I don't have the original RC, and I'm not terribly familiar with its story, but the "story" it looks like they put together for this sounds like poorly-written fanfiction.

...and it being, in fact, fan fiction I guess means it is poorly-written fanfiction.

As poorly written as the storyline is, you have to respect the amount of work put into this project. It's a lot harder modding RC than SWBFII, so it took lots of time, hard work, and determination to get it done, and I have to say, If you are a good RC player, this will be a really good practice for you, and if you aren't as gifted, then you should make sure to take the timg to go through training.

I disagree. While there's some stuff that's unique to RC, in the end it's just the Unreal engine, which has tons of tutorials and has a user-friendly interface.

It's apples and oranges to say one is easier than the other. I certainly respect the amount of work, but he didn't work any harder than say Mav and I or any other modders with their big mods for another game.

Here here!

I use to play the mod its worth the download, fun mod especially since the lack of SWRC mods.

Yeah, thats the biggest reason I can think of

There was one other mod that had its own Campaign but was still in alpha/beta. It wasn't released on any SWRC modding site but was on the developers own site along with other mods from other games. I only came across it from going to modder to modder sites. I can't remember the name of it ATM but it was really neat though short and it launched through its own shortcut kinda like the SWJA games. It also didn't require a backup of any files because it didn't overwrite any and had new menu and loading screens. SWRC2 and this one mod were the only two I ever found with a new Campaign and the only interesting mods for SWRC considering all the rest are just mod maps and skins.

drat, they just reorganized the site, and the link is gone. Does somebody still have the link to the download website?

The mod?

yah
