I am wondering if B.W. is a mod and not just a weapon pack???

I don't like to think about it as "just a weapon pack", but for the most part, that's pretty much what it is.

The most highly-detailed, complex, and feature-rich weapon-pack I've ever seen.

Although the addition of the sprint mutator, awesome gore system, and other goodies might push it beyond "weapon pack" status for many.

BW is first and foremost a weapon pack. It works fine without the custom rules, but it does have other features that are awesome even without the kick-a** weapons. The weapons are so diferent from standard UT that it completely changes play.

A weapon pack is a modification,

By the way, I see you gave a lot of thought into creating a username.

BW is the ONLY way to play the tired Ut2004.

nothing wrong with a name, 1111. Maybe it's a binary form of the hexidecimal representation of his class average? Just kidding. Anyways, I think it should be noted that, as Ganome mentioned, it does drastically change the gameply of UT04. For example, you can grab a small shield and charge at a bot that's shooting a minigun at you and flak it to death. Can't do that when the bot has one of the automatic BW (Ballistic Weapons). Many people see imbalances, when it's really just a matter of changing your tactics (be more sneaky and less like Rambo).

it is a mod\WP

u can play with only the awesome guns, or with the awesome gore, gameplay changes, features, sprinting, etc..

its a way of life mannnnnnnnnnnn like far out

Its not a mod anymore, its a movement.

Nah, it's still a mod.

The only movement I can think of right now is when 2D fighting games make a comeback. Won't be surprised to see game studios make new ones.

Sorry... had to say that.. I know it's OT..

I'm waiting for sidescrollers to return.
Those games can make use of today's engine capabilities and create some interesting gameplay.

I wanted to go OT too.

i hope they bring back decent gameplay

I consider BW to be a modtator-pack, its a pack of mutators that modifies the gameplay

Then all mutators are modtators...

Hmm, good point. But not all mutators are packs, and not all mods are mutators, and I probably just made this topic more complicated than it needed to be.
