Does the Mod make the game Unbalanced?
Sunday, September 9, 2007
About the Mod
C&C Retarded is my attempt at creating the best gaming experience possible in CNC3. I like to use my ability to understand the code behind the game to manipulate it to the way I see as being the most fun. For me I don't care what I do to a game, as long as in the end it is the most fun experience possible.
The name C&C Retarded came from my old mod, Zero Hour Retarded. The reason I choose to put the word retarded in its title was to make a point. Well actually a couple of points. One, I don't care if you don't like the mod. Two, you can never judge a book by its cover. And Three, I want to redefine what retarded means, I want my mod to be so good people will use the adjective retarded as synonyms to words like awesome or excellent. (It was also a little bit of me wanting to mock to the mod Zero Hour Reborn)
