Modification of Video Games Great or Horrible
By Evan Campbell
If you are sitting in front of your favorite PC game and find it boring, why not upgrade? Two games that I play with modifications, Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Star Wars Empire at War, are a blast. If you have played any Call of Duty or Medal of Honor games, they are pretty fun too, but the same thing day after day gets boring. To make i tf more fun, you might try to upgrade to something new instead of that M-1 Rifle, or Thompson Machinegun. Some modifications can be found on the Internet to give you a SAW, Squad Automatic Weapon, or the M-16. Imagine if your GI had those weapons in World War II. If you are tired of the same levels, gamers out there have made new maps that give you a Tank instead of a Jeep or an army of Tanks instead of that one lousy Jeep. The downside is that not many people know about the modifications.
However, they are easy to get. Simply type in your favorite PC game title with “mod” at the end, and presto! You have a websites that have all the modifications available. One that is common is FileFront.com. Of course, then you need to know how to attach the mods to your game. It’s simple: download the mod, go to your game data file, and place the mod into it. But before you just simply start downloading the modifications, read what they offer and also read how much memory they take up. Also, make sure your parents agree first. However, some might ask, do these modifications ruin or increase the entertaining part of the game play? The only way to find out is to get them and play the new, improved game.
