Smod or Substance

[ríomhaire]

Simle, which do you prefer?
Substance for me.

 

[Useful Dave]

Substance, In my opinion it is more polished than S-Mod which is Fun..but not that high quality

 

[63]

Neither.

 

[NickOuellette]

Substance just seems like the end result of a bizarre phenomenon that makes all MGS fans want to turn EVERYTHING into MGS. SMod on the other hand is just plain hardcore

 

[Reginald]

Hmm... as this thread mentions it, where do you install SMod? Then I can tell you.

Edit: Done it. I accidentally downloaded just the update pack, 36a.

 

[Ghil]

I'm more of a substance fan for the same reason as Dave: it's more polished (in my opinion )

 

[CookieCuttah]

Smod, it's much more fun and cool. Substance I didn't like, the weapons are nothing new and it's just generally too overfilled with features that aren't that good. Smod is simple and fun, it wins in my opinion.

 

[Flyingdebris]

Gordon kick FTW!

 

[JNightshade]

Whoa, Reginald, there's an update!??

 

[Canadian Gunner]

Smod. You can't beat kicking a zombie in the face.

 

[Vagrant]

While the kick was ultra funky, a lot of the weapons in SMOD were useless and more than a bit poo. And it was just a weapon pack with slow-mo.

Substance actually brought some originality, good weapons, and some real design into it. Even if I didn't really like it.

 

[Canadian Gunner]

The whole random enemy spawning thing in Smod was pretty neat. It certainly made it more interesting. I wasn't big on the whole different characters thing in Substance.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Smod.
6char

 

[Mister Ataxia]

They're both equal in my opinion, although it's really how you like to play that counts.

Substance is good for those looking for new weapons, abilities, and more of a challenge than the original game. The multi-character thingy allowed for different tactics during various sections of the game as well; for example, going Rambo on a group of enemies with Liquid, or using stealth and picking them off with Snake.

At the same time, Smod was just plain crazy. Random enemy generators, random object launchers, a bunch of new console commands, and a ridiculous amount of weapons. Smacking unsuspecting citizens with a shovel is pure joy.

i like how smod totally changed how certain parts of the game played through. Like the part in water hazard where you end up having to use a dune buggy instead of an airboat and afterwords, go on foot

 

[Steven]

Smod has better weapons and it's harder then Substance.

 

[Shodan]

Yeah, thats what I think, also with Smod, you get the shovel!

Ohh hitting people with that shovel is good stress relief, and the one in Smod, is cool too, you can 'jab' people with it

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

They are practicly the same. They both add retarded weapons or weapons from other games, (PSP Weapon? What the hell?), they add more enemies everywhere, they reskin everything, they ported the houndeye/bullsquid from HL:Source, and added stupid new gameplay.

 

[Flyingdebris]

psp weapon is a joke off the tendency for psps to shoot out their cds in a projectile manner.

and no, they are not the same.

smod, if you actually play it serious and not just impulse 101 everything in, plays very uniquely especially if you enable certain cfg files that come with the mod. Gameplay is a lot more challenging especially if you run the hard.cfg. It introduces the ocassional shield weilding combine or super armored blue and red combine. Or even worse, red combine with shields. They also can carry more than just pistols, smgs, shotties, and pulse rifles. They can sometimes be seen with mp5s, ak47s, grease guns, and more, rebel allies can also carry these weapons. Also the combine elite recieve the crazy assasin attitude they deserve. They are now extra crazy fast, light green, and can leap.

Also smod has the monopoly on gibbing on the source engine. In their latest version there are hi poly realistic gib chunks, body twitching while corpses are on fire, blood diffusion in water, squirting effects, and if a sprout of blood hits a cieling, blood will drip downward from it.

smod also has the best bullet time as it will actually slow down the projectiles as well as the audio

oh and they give all fires dynamic light and introduced stalkers.

I love smod with every part of my body, including my peepee

just the other day i was playing smod and was in the part of nova prospekt near when you hear the angry breencast directed at the overwatch.

I was fighting some soldiers and imagine my surprise when i see the G-man charging me with one of those smod riot shields and a shotgun. He still had his briefcase. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was weird as hell.
