I've not been around for that long, so I never saw any WWII mods.

Cortex Command doesn't leave the theme that wide open though, it's not like ludum dare, you can't really give a theme like "Exploration" or "A day in the life of..." because it doesn't really give that broad of options.

I suppose you could do something like a total conversion for one of those themes but it's impractical.

Organic is a broad category but if you think about it, humans are organic, crabs are organic. It's not really anything that new.

If you gave a wide enough time-frame you could do a mission based competition like:

Lone-wolf

This could consist of a multitude of things, here are some I thought of that would fit:
Last-stand zombie defence (something most people would think therefore unless done right it's a crap)
Escaping a building/prison/etc
Infiltrating a building/prison/etc
Assassination

Though I suppose it would be too closed quarters for your liking again.

Already did that.
We also did ,iirc, Bombs, Crafts, Undead, Christmas, and some other ones that I forget.

I suggest a WW1 contest, experience the thrill of trench warfare in cortex command! Watch as you bum rush the other side and pray to god you dont get shredded by the opposing machinegun!

You know, it would be a good idea to keep track of those, besides the hall of fame. Easier to copy/paste if they're in a straight list.
So far we've done...

• Explosives
• Shields
• Pacifism
• Craft
• Booby Traps
• Total Conversions
• Undead
• Christmas (though it never completed)

How about a comedy competition? Anything that's funny, sarcastic or ironic. Most of Shook's pack would be an example.

This has so much potential it screams it. Not much for any Coming of God class things though.

Do want.

And I vote yes.

I fail to see how that is any different from the way CC is now. Plus we already have trenches, rifles, plenty of machine guns (even emplaced ones), and WW1 and 2 actors somewhere in the mod section. (no droppable sandbags though I really thought someone would have made individual sandbags you could throw down and pile up for cover by now)
We need something original, fresh, mind boggling, something that people will find amusing enough to actually keep in their CC folder for more than a few hours.

Why thank you. I've never felt so wanted *sniff*

So yeah, soviet pistol, sun tuba, zero div bomb, anything else.

Let us summarize WW1 and 2 real quick. People in trenches, shooting at each other. There, done. Oh, and WW2 had 2 very large bombs.
Not much that's special.

well yeah wwi was like that. ever heard of blitzkrieg?

Ok, sounds like people want MC6. I'll make the necessary arrangements.
I would consider a submission record of 5 people or more to be a decent turnout, so I hope we get that much.

See, this is why we should have spaced them out more.

Just sayin'

That's why it's a BROAD category. So people won't do humans or crabs. Obviously there'll be restrictions on things like that.

Mission based theme is good though, that's more than broad enough for some cool mods. I still vote for organic theme though. Sand worms, could you imagine? Or maybe not, hopefully everyone here is familiar with Dune otherwise you'll all be thinking of a dried up earth worm dead in the sand. Tremors would also be a good example.

Idk but for some reason when I was reading this topic I had an idea of doing a water gun fight in CC... weird.

Perhaps when my computer is fixed I'll struggle to make a mission.
