The End of Rise of Kobol

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

We have some sad news today coming from the team behind the Rise of Kobol (http://riseofkobol.com/index.php) mod. Here's what they had to say:

It is a sad day on Kobol my friends. The interest in RoK has dwindled amongst the community and the DEV team. It is Rise of Kobol’s time to close the doors and become the mod people debate years from now if it was a myth or real. The only true as possible Zero G mod on the BF2 engine, or on any Battlefield game to release thus far.

The website will close in one week from today or sooner.

For those saddened by the news should hold out hope. The content for RoK might be used for a possible sister mod for RoK on BF2142, so keep an eye out for its possible appearance.

By Your Command,
The Rise of Kobol Development Team

While it's sad to see the mod shutdown, hopefully we will see something for Battlefield 2142.

[ikito]

that sucks.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

never like to see a good mod go down, very sad

and i dont give 2 fks if i have 2nd post

[LexLuther]

:( I hope they make a BF2142 version.

[kiff]

really, what a shame. I was looking forward to playing it

[RedDot]

Live suxt... but this mod didn't!

[Fullforce]

Aww, shame. I really enjoyed playing the mod. Even if I did suck hugely at it.

[Eidelon]

damn

but figured this would happen when lex left

[b` m3ow]

Never heard of this MOD

[Doctor Venture]

This mod has some great gameplay and potential.
I was very happy when they released a playable version, and I was looking forward to the next version.
This mod has squad distance teleportation, awesome flying physics, that was just amazing to master.
My hat goes off in honor of the devs behind this great game, that was in my book, the first true total conversion mod to get downloaded for BF2.

[Desertfox]

wait, this was released? when? I missed it?

And, sad to see am od close down but lol at the title "the END of the RISE"

[Hornetnest]

That was a good mod. I enjoyed playing it a lot. sad to see it go:cry:

[commanderk]

Worry not my friends! I am with the "Rise of Kobol Syndicate" [RoKs],and have been involed with this mod from the early forum days.This mod is continuing with part, RoK dev-team and new dev-members as well,and we are moving to BF2142! Just a new name and storyline.....We would like to thank Lex Luthar, for the begining of a great mod, and this new sister/offspring mod will live on!!! BUT! We must never forget the BF BSG founder,Lex! Please visit http://roks.lordsofclantribe.com/ as this will be the official website and forums for now....Please feel free to register there and participate in the forums section.......So Say We All.......

[SneakyPete67]

Was looking forward to the space MOD...Damn sorry to see it fade away. You guys should melt into the MOD community and bring your talent to us! Your great!

[commanderk]

Well thank you,but we are not fading away, we are just porting over to a better sci-fi mod friendly game......http://roks.lordsofclantribe.com/

[F50Grunt]

This is too bad, this was one mod that I was really looking forward to...

[18Zulukiller]

What a downer this was one of the mods ive been following for a long time and been waiting on i even played the alpha a bit. Really sad thing is i dont think ive got any intentions of buying bf2142 so ill never get to play a BSG mod ever :(

[kysterama]

I'm a massive fan of the new BSG series so I'm sad to see this fine mod port to 2142. I too won't be touching 2142 with a ten foot pole so I guess I'll miss out :(

[Sir. Xan]

Ugh. It was the only mod I really looked forward to. Sad to see it porting to 2142, which I won't buy.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

i think they need to edit the news now as its starting up in 2142 AND NOT FADING AWAY!

[imported_jerryhopper]

sad indeed, especially how this went down....
i hear some very disturbing rumours about this 'death' of this mod for bf2.
and im intending to make this a topic for my next talkshow

but dont cry!,
there is a bright side to the story... the real modder never gives up.

[commanderk]

So say we all.......

[imported_jerryhopper]

edit : deleted post due to screwup! - correct info will follow...

[Doctor Venture]

Lord knows you are the word of truth and integrity, I would think no one wants to know the internal situations that occured with this mod.

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

Making a mod, especially one that really stretches the boundaries, is no simple task.

I hope you guys are able to pick up for 2142, or maybe join some of the other teams and share your talents. No reason why the public shouldnt get to check out some of your work, one way or the other.

Best of luck, keep on moving forward.:cool:

[commanderk]

Thank you! We are BF2142 bound and will live on.....We are not dead! Stay tunned.......

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

Thank you! We are BF2142 bound and will live on.....We are not dead! Stay tunned.......

Thats great to hear man!! The 2142 team is making some changes that will obviously give your MOD more options. Just like First Strike, it makes perfect sense. GOod Luck, I will be playing it when its done.:cool:

[lmimmfn]

Sad news for BF2, but great to hear it will live on in an diferent form in BF2142

[imported_Calaros]

Sad to see it's being cancelled for now, that was a mod I was looking forward to. Although its great that it's moving over to 2142 rather than fading completely :D (I never will understand why the hell so many people are refusing to buy 2142.)

[JohnM]

A lot of people refuse to buy 2142 and the various booster packs because they see BF2 vanilla as broken and refuse to buy more of the same till BF2 is 'fixed/patched' to their satisfaction.

[Vivisection]

I know some of the Dev's and it's not Dead. For what I gathered the Mod is moving to the BF2142 engine and creating a new story. I see this as a cool thing that it isn't dead.

And to Jerry Hopper, you don't know anything & stop pretending to know anything about other peoples business. I know some girls at school like you and they piss everyone off.

[18Zulukiller]

@Vivisection its dead for bf2 though and thats the problem im proberly not going to buy bf2142 untill bf2 works better. BF2 is a brilliant game but i cant be bothered going through all the crap i have with bf2 with bf2142 as its virtually the same engine just tweaked a bit.

[Vivisection]

You're right, for BF2 it is dead, but for playing the 2142 its true home is that game and I'm sure the remaining devs will due it great justice.

[takiwa]

any reason my post was deleted?

[jimbob]

^^^^ its been going on a bit lately. Somone's having a bad week and is relieving themself with the delete button :laugh:

[commanderk]

It`s official! Basttlestar 2142 is a go! The domain is www.battlestar2142.com and will be up in a few hours,but just in case,lets say tomorrow......and we will be running Rise of Kobol, build 9.0...So as soon as that game server is up,I will pass along the ftp info.....We figured that we might as well release the old and start the new BSG!

[svensmokavich]

[commanderk]

Ok! If there is anyone who is willing to host an FTP server for downloading the RoK 9.0 build,please let me know by PM`ing me at: http://roks.lordsofclantribe.com/

[DiseasedKidDK]

Never heard of this MOD

You've never heard of it??? I mean i haven't played it myself, cuz my crappy computer always crashes when i try to, but the ingame video looked really attractrive! R.I.P. RoK

[Infidel_52]

I don't have a FTP server, but I do have a premium filecloud account if you're desperate.

[commanderk]

Sounds good...We are putting the finishing touches on the last build now,so I will let you know....Thanks again!

[commanderk]

Battlestar 2142 has an update.... We are continuing the mod for BF2 and soon will be working on BF2142 as well. Our zero-G system is working perfectly, the viper and raider have also received an overhaul in the flight dynamics. So,if you decided not to buy BF2142,no worries! The BF2 version of this mod will continue.We are looking at a release to the public very soon! We are also in need of some new talent to add to the dev team...Skinners/modelers/texture artists/sound artists/ and proficiant poeple on photoshop. Please visit: http://battlestar2142.com for more info.
