You just gotta look past the titles. Ive been content playing the Forgotten Hope mod for the battlefield 1942 engine for a while now, and it will soon have a version out for Battlefield 2, which will be nice to swap between with something like Project Reality. There are people out there who actually care about gameplay more than what the annoying lowest common denominator wants. Sure the graphics arent quite as good as say Crysis, but it looks good enough, and with 64 players, these games can be intense.

Some BF2 mods for those who havent looked:
WWII as it's meant to be played (coming soon)...

Battlefield Pirates mod for Battlefield 1942 was fun when it lasted. I would like to see some of its action elements in this MMOG. I can't wait for BF2 mod port.

I bought UT2004 recently on DVD because of Alien Swarm and Red Orchestra mods. I didn't care about its regular UT2004 game. The playable demo didn't impressed me except the pretty graphics. The mods were the big stars for me.

I bought BF1942 for its game mostly, but I was surprised to see mods coming out like Forgotten Hope, Battlefield Pirates, Desert Combat, Galactic Conquest, etc.

I hope the same is for DOOM 3 for mod support. I would love to see Aliens-type of game with DOOM 3 engine and with co-operative play. How about System Shock 2 type of game? I loved that game! It was scary.

I sold Quake 3 Arena a few days ago and uninstalled Half-Life a few months ago because it was time to leave their engines and their mods.

also don't forget battlefield pirates - it's the funnest battlefield mod i've played - better than desert combat and better than stunts... sabre's and muskets and sloops and galleons and KOMODO DRAGONS! ;) (and no i'm not affiliated with the mod'ers)
