Devs should just focus on mod stability and custom game tools
Seriously, ISMC is still better weapons wise than the actual game after almost a decade. Mods add longevity to the game, but the fact that amount of effort you need to put in just to host a server that isn’t reliable is crazy. Why am I writing lines of code to initiate mods in a game that came out in 2018? This is some early 2000’s dial up BS.
The lack of local play options is hilarious, and sad. Seriously if NWI had focused on custom scenario editing and mods UI, like a “Halo Forge” type deal they probably wouldn’t have all gotten laid off…it’s a shame every subsequent dev team basically dropped the ball the same way.
No one gives a fuck about waiting half a decade for weapons/gear that’s already in a mod that’s years old. Just improve mod stability. You should be able to just run mods on local play no issue, or at least tweak game settings in some regard.
The game is so old at this point, just copy past ISMC junk into the game, if people don’t like it they can just stop playing since that’s what the majority of players already did.
This goes for stuff like the Star Wars mod as well, if the game was actually stable it could’ve been a FPS Roblox but instead they think weird ass cosmetics and new red dots are the way forward lmao.
