Will we ever see the return of NUCLEAR WINTER?!

[Solidus Shane]

I feel like the game has been sturdied enough that they could always return it as another mode simply to entertain and maybe draw more people in. of course it'd have to be a big spectacle to let everybody know and they'd have to actually update and change some stuff, but it was fun when it came out. Especially with the series now drawing in people maybe they'd be interested for the ones that kinda just want a 30 minute time waster.

Just some thoughts rattling in the old head.

Why does this come up every couple weeks?

Depends on what happens between India and Pakistan.

You're assuming the code even still exists and it wouldn't have to be remade from scratch.

Bethesda is in the habit of cut-paste when it comes to this game (which can account for a lot of bugs). The server assets for NW were shifted to custom worlds, NW no longer exists. A lot of assets were purged as well during the legacy removal update.

Face it, it is gone for good. Those who had the desire (old Battle Cry staff) and talent (former Bethesda devs) have long since resigned Bethesda, and from accounts have no desire to ever return.

Because - ignoring cheaters - that mode was suprisingly fun, and that comes from someone who hates BR games. I think because its in the fallout universe i was able to enjoy it alot.

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't using my brain for a minute to remember that bethesda has been washed out for a couple years =/

Because there is a demand for it.

It's a disgrace how they massacred this game. Nuclear Winter - gone. Survival - gone. Now, I ain't much of a PVP person, so personally I'm not affected by these mods being gone, but I know that many people liked them, so in the end they quit F76 for good. But I am affected by devs pushing this game with every update into more and more easier mode, and with all those flowers, dumb magic and feminine stuff, it's a totally wrong direction for a Fallout game. Bethesda hopes that making F76 super easy and super dumb they will attract more players, but they only attract occasional tourists who quit very quickly anyway, without spending a dime in GLORIOUS Atomic Wallmart. Why is such a problem to give people a chance to play a different mode on let's say Normal difficulty?

Except there wasn't enough demand to keep it active. Not enough demand, not enough atom shop sales.

Business follows the money.

Part of their problem was not making it clear that your NW character was linked to your adventure mode account and there were items you could only get by playing NW. It took me a few months to realize that, and once I started playing I was hooked. Yeah there were a few "hackers", more like cheaters, like there are in all online shooters. But it wasn't enough to ruin it for me or I wouldn't have sunk all the hours I did into it. I'm no stranger to online shooters. I've been playing the best since Quake, Unreal, Counterstrike, Tribes, and Planetside. And Nuclear Winter was a good online shooter. It just needed some tweaks and some kind of anti-cheat measures.

We knew. We didn’t care.

If they reused the same code, then you would have the same problem of, no anti-cheat. So you would get Flying aimboting hackers, again. More Passive hacks, or exploits, of hiding under the map, or beyond the edge of the fire, and not taking fire damage people. Same problems with same code. Then, Nuclear Winter would die again.

So, with no flags for flying, i.e, not touching the ground for an extended amount of time, also, being under the map, also beyond the edge of the ring of fire, then. No. Why bring back this hacker fill mode?
