Compared to MOD I44

LOL ... ffs! Essential difference =
One is free, made by unpaid volunteers.
The other, is none of that.

Standalone pc game or not, they still have to update their game to fix things, no different then a mod.

According to this, then how many "mods" are around the world ?

Hello there

I love them both and would dearly love to see I44 in the IF engine.

Those who don't like the western front would simply not have to install it.

i44 has some features/improvements over IFL and vica versa.

I like the enhanced Tank combat of IFL but miss my Commonwealth troops and weapon resting from i44.

But, I will probably play i44 less as the community just isn't there in numbers as there is for IFL. But hopefully with the next i44 release numbers will jump again

Back when OFP was the only thing on your computer, I44 and Lib mod, as well as the FDF (ww2)
mod were great mods by some really dedicated people in the community, who are still with us. Lib mod was the shit back then.

Don't forget WWIIEC or Pacific Mod '45 (there was more WWII stuff, but i can't remember)

Your question is out of context, and isn't even relevent to what i said.

as i said

Standalone pc game or not, they still have to update their game to fix things, no different then a mod.

my point was no matter the form of DLC you use, it would still need to be updated.
Thats a general statement specific to content of a pc game or a mod, how many mods has no basis in the statement, were not looking at numbers,
were looking at a general principle of the application that applies to both mods an pc games.

Don't forget WWIIEC or Pacific Mod '45 (there was more WWII stuff, but i can't remember)

Definately those mods were cool too, but weren't as big or as completed as I44, LIB, FDF, dont forget b45 too,
then there were many addons of WW2 tanks, and small WW2 Inf packs.

What DLC`s ?

All games have patches, fixes, updates etc...
In this case are they mods ?

Don`t know how was my question out the context though.

[Archosaurusrev]

Iron Front is Eastern Front.
I44 is Europe.

Why won't you guys understand?

Archosaurusrev
I/we know that already, not what were talking about.

What DLC's? Downloadable content, buyable content whatever, the point I made was that whether you buy a game be it dvd,
or download it, or download a mod for a game you bought, the developer, modder still would have to patch it, upgrade, it ect,.

but then you go and say

According to this, then how many "mods" are around the world ?

and i said your out of context meaning that what does "how many" mods have to do with what i just said and that being the last post on the 1st page.
maybe you could explain what you meant by "how many mods are around the world" because you lost me, an as I said that statement is irrelevant,
cause were not talking about how many, I wouldn't i know how many, why would you even ask a question like that, what are you getting at by asking that.

Personally I dont really care, the point of the posted thread/topic is why should he get IF if theres already I44 mod, and as answered because IF is eastern front, and I44 is Normandy or western front, plus IF is a standalone PC game, which some and maybe alot dont know that IF of course a new name is actually Liberation mod 1941-45, except in this version being the game they are only on the period/year of 1944, which I dont know why, I mean the Ostfront started June 1941, so why is there a 3 year period missing?

The Germans still were fighting and started fighting the Russians since 41, so my real question is why is the year 1944 so important?
Because The Russians weren't in Germany, and didn't beat the Germans til 1945, so why is 44 so special?

Is there something indicated in the game, some particular battles that took place? that specify why 1944 is the main focus here?

How about Operation Bagration?

In 1944 Soviets had finally gained the initiative for good and were relatively even match on a tactical and strategic level versus the Germans. 1941 Red Army was weak and inexperienced and in 1945 Germans were virtually crushed on all fronts. Additionally, 1944 offers good range of powerful armored vehicles (King Tiger, JS2) and weapons (MG42, StGw 44). Any year during 1941-45 would be interesting, but if you'd have to pick one 1944 would probably be the best choice.

IF licensed the Arma II engine and presumably have a better ability to tweak, optimize and hopefully release some further creative powers on the game. Obviously this required some financial investment, so I don't fault them for wanting to make some money back. If this ends up being a sound business based on a product with elevated standards (not to take anything away from the incredible body of work done by for-the-love-of-it modders), I think everyone will benefit in the end.

Iron Front is Eastern Front.
I44 is Europe.

Why won't you guys understand?

Many non-Europeans think the Western Front was the only European theatre and the Americans took Berlin, that's why.
