yea I think its fine as long as its free, which all mods are. this would make ALOT of people try out PS. it can only help SOE. BF1942 has so many more players then planetside.

It's for the less fortunates that don't own PS to test it out.

Ahh I was slightly wrong... It was Quake2: Generations:
http://www.planetquake.com/wirehead/generations/

Q2Gen released two major versions, the latter of which contained all four classes. However, shortly after release, the team contacted id Software about the mod. The news was not comforting. Q2Generations was, as it stood, illegal. The team had converted models, sounds, levels, and graphics from Wolf3D, Doom, and Quake over to the Q2 engine. These conversions were not allowed, since they were technically theft of id's intellectual property.

The team faced two options: replace all the illegal material in the game, or end the project. The Q2Gen team decided to close its doors soon after, and release the source to the public.

On the contrary people, if this mod sucks, then it will negatively affect PS. SOE would have to decide whether or not they would want to take the risk of getting negative publicity like this, and yes, people are stupid.

Even the people that hate it would be nudged to try PS. It's like Howard Stern. The average listener that likes him listens for X amount of hours, and the people that hate him listen even longer lol. I really think SOE would let him do it if he contacts them.

Squick, I played that mod during the Quake II era; it was actually rather good.

Quake2 was the ultimate for gaming for me... Downloading 50 meg mods on a 56k, downloading three meg maps... It all took so long, but the mods were SO good.

I can honestly say the best gaming experiences I have ever had were in Weapons Factory for Quake2 or Action Quake 2.

Q3F and Urban Terror were two great mods for Quake3, but they never really roped me in as much as the Q2 mods.

I figured out between Duke3D, Doom, Quake1, 2, 3, and all the mods for the quakes I played over 3,500 hours of FPS... That is almost half a year of straight game playing.
