Most of the good mods from the last generation (CS, DoD, TFC, DotA, etc.) were less mods and more total conversions. And you don't need to mod a game to do that

Most of the good mods from the last generation (CS, DoD, TFC, DotA, etc.) were less mods and more total conversions. And you don't need to mod a game to do that these days. The Source engine is free. Unity is free. The Unreal engine is cheap. We have more tools for making fully-fledged games at our disposal than we ever had in the past.
- codexon 12y agoThis is false. Nearly 100% of the assets from Dota 1 came from Warcraft 3. I am not familiar with the other games to know how much original content there was, but I remember that both CS and TFC used a number of assets from the original. Source is not free. Saying Unity is free and Unreal is cheap completely ignores the cost of modeling.
