More features, more realistic, both mods seems to be giving similar stuff, my question is - who does it better? And maybe i should consider redux too?

More info about New Dunia mod.

Try every mod you want!

New Dunia mod has the most unique and varied features, though it might be the toughest of all Far Cry 2 mods period.(A precaution)

Hope this help. 🙂

The way I see it each mod actually has it's own target audience, even if they aren't explicit about it. Full disclosure - I'm the author of Vanilla+.

Vanilla+ - The basis of my mod is to improve the base game but keep it feeling relatively the same. My target audience is those that enjoyed the vanilla game but want some key issues addressed. I have made different versions of Realism+, Chill+ and Insanity+ for those that want something a little bit extra but the whole thing is based on somewhat maintaining the unmodded experience.

Redux - The basis of this mod is realism and immersion and Hunter (the author) has done loads of tweaks to back this up. Combat is extra deadly, there's no auto reload, an auto-holster system, new ways of holding the weapons and I'm sure a lot more. The whole thing feels very different to the base game and the target audience is those that want realism/immersion as the priority.

New Dunia - The basis of this mod is wild experimentation. Danny (the author) has changed almost everything and added loads of brand new features. The result can be janky and buggy but if you've played Far Cry 2 a hundred times and simply want something very different then this is probably the way to go.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Thanks very much for for this clearly drawn comparison !

Though I'm hooked on Redux - I've heard nothing but good things about Vanilla+, and I have
to thank you for your considerate work and for your fine contribution here.

Please allow me to include your descriptive explanation above in a post to the FC2Crew.
It could be very helpful for anyone scanning the Mods forum in search of a more tailored
experience. - Should you wish that I include a link to your Vanilla+ mod I'd be grateful to
feature it there also. - Please post the link here if you do - or you can post freely to the
Crew if you prefer.

- Best Wishes -

I beg to differ.

I think your Realism+ are wayyy harder than said Redux.

You can see the difference in difficulty(Damage taken, how AI behave(ig. In New Dunia AI throws more grenades), how the weapon handles(In Redux all weapons got zero to a BB guns recoil...Realism?))

https://youtu.be/c8eflXZqcFY

Finished Redux in infamous difficulty like a breeze. If the difficulty is one of its merit, then there must be some misunderstanding.

Your never ending obsession with trying to dis Redux is as hilarious as ever. New Dunia 1, Redux 0? What kind of loser names a video like that?

It's really pathetic, dude. Try something realistic like:

Redux - MOTY, New Dunia - Banned for deranged behavior.

OP, I think vanilla + would be the way to go.

It doesn't really surprise me anymore after seeing some of his previous posts.

[[TW]Sergeant Beanbag]

OK both yall OWM/OWG. (or OWRG I presume.)

Whatever off topic content you want to leave here.

Anyway, Redux mod is still a very easy mod to me.
Nothing to right home about, really.

And it's maker "Hunter" and his followers spent so much time bullying other user than improving his own mod. Yeah that says a lot.

[thirdkeeper]

Let's see... Hunter gets mod of the year and you get axed for theft.
then can't plug your own unstable mess without knocking the others down.

There are no followers here, only comrads of intent. - You have none so you
imagine a cabal set against you, when it's just people reacting to your pathetic
envy.

Your side show antics do nothing for your credibility, they just chase any potential
fans away.

Self defeating. - Normally I'd just say "give it up!" - but I know it's a compulsion you
have absolutely no control over. You'll be whining about this for the rest of your life
or until some REAL trouble comes along; - You going to handle it the same way?

The painful truth that's on the table is - with Vanilla+ and Redux available who in
their right mind would bother with your glitchy mish-mash of stolen code?

You could easily make it right but chose not to.

It's not 'pride' but ego that vehemently goes o'er the falls.

Lurking at the corner of every post, It's him again, captain Redux! Off topic and speaks like a book as always. Keep it up.

Remind you, he's totally not a Redux follower. He is the Redux itself!

BTW, TLDR. OWG. ^w^

[thirdkeeper]

beyond weak. - had seven hours to come up with a reply and this is what you ended up
with? - Fell way below my lowest abysmal expectations. - At least in previous posts there
was some attempt to make sense. - This is about as cohesive as your garbage mod. 'How
to win friends and influence people' is not your forte'. In fact, the only impression you have
a hope of creating is minuscule and all negative.

Just one more question, and it's a really easy one:

Other than dumping your garbage mod and empty boasts and accusations here - what of
any value have you contributed to this forum?

[BigTinz]

I have become Redux, the destroyer of New Dunia.
