Favourite/Best Mods .....

[zinzan]

Ok I'm going to open a can of worms here

I want recommendations for the best mods for CMBN & CF & MG. Must be compatible with 3.0.

Let argument commence

[sburke]

I'll try to avoid the totally subjective sounds ones

CMBN - Tanks a Lot's buildings.

CMBN and CMFI

Mord and DC's unit portraits

CMRT

what can I say, Umlaut's industrial destruction

[Holman]

Aris' vehicles. All of them.

Vin's Animated Text.

[Rambler]

The only mods not compatible with versions 2.0 and up are the uniform mods made prior to the release of 2.0 (upload date prior to DEC 2012). Everything else will work fine. The only other mods that may not fully work with 3.0 are the UI mods, since some UI stuff changed in 3.0. They'll work for the most part, though.

Many thanks for these quick replies.

- Rambler - Good to hear this

- Martyr - Already decided on these but THANKS as this got me to the Combined DL for Aris Vehicles ( http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/mods-aris-and-other-popular-mods-combined-into-easy-to-download-packs.17477/ )

Vein's flames.

Simplest, smallest, but makes a HUGE difference.

I also very much prefer ( I think they're MikeyD's ) the red-splodge casualty marker rather than the stock skull&crossbones. Also a very small mod.

Marco's UI mods - predominantly his weapon pics, but his compass makes life so much easier.

I also very much prefer ( I think they're MikeyD's ) the red-splodge casualty marker rather than the stock skull&crossbones.

There's also a version that removes the death crosses completely. That's the one I use.

[Fenris]

From memory some environmental ones in addition to those above... there's another Rambler one (I think it is) that sets the tabletop surrounding the map to the same colour as grass. I find this helps a lot for some reason. There's also one that fixes the visual distortion you get from the ploughed field texture when you zoom out. I also like Marco+JuJu UI for silhouettes and SS dot pattern on the UI. Finally Aris/Fuser's horizons are nice.

Vein's flames.

Simplest, smallest, but makes a HUGE difference.

<snipped>

as well as Veins explosions, flames, skies, muzzle flashes, and tracers.

[Tempestzzzz]

Okay my Favorite-only one I'm choosing (though I have a lot)

Juju UI MOD for FI and Normandy.

But a MUST HAVE is my very own FORCE CHOICE screen. Which you can download here.

I just mix things up like sound files and find the best for me.I almost have more fun doing that than playing the game.

[Macisle]

If I could only use one mod, it would be Veins_V3_special_effects_CMx2. That covers everything--including great hit decals. That is a MUST have.

For uniforms...

I use Veins RTGermans V2 (works fine) mixed with ezGermanGear and Benparks German Foliage Helmets. I also use the Kriegsmarine Uniforms mod and EZ_SS_Uniforms.

For the CW forces, I use Veins various fantastic mods. For the Amis, I use EZs Uniforms.

For vehicles, I've got all of the Aris mods.

For the UI, I used Juju's.

For buildings, I use Tanksalots.

For Terrain, I use some of Aris and other's mods, but I've gone back to stock green for the grass and foliage.

For sounds, I use a large mix. Mord's Immersive American, the RO stuff for all, some of Oddball_8's (the screams, man!), some of Waclaw's, and others... too many to sort out these days. I don't like the big reverb most mods put on weapons, so many of my weapon sounds are stock. Artillery is modded (Waclaw or Oddball's?), though.

Oh, and EZ's surrender flag is cool.

There are a few others...
