Default EBgames.com to sell SeaWolves addon to SHIII

Please tell me this is not that same software from X something or other(it states 'Take 2 Interactive'?!?:hmm:

The screenshots look horrible for it and I see nothing from them that looks any better than what I already have.

SHIII 1.4B + GW

Here's the link at EBgames.com

By the way, I bet they appreciate that you just gave them free publicity...

Hmm Grey Wolves or SeaWolves+14.99 cost...


[Sarcasm] Man this a really hard choice[/sarcasm]


Man I cant believe these <bleep> are making money off modifying a game, if people did that for Rome:Total War they woulda been sued

I feel the same as many of the people here, why buy when you can get it free from this great community..i dont care if they had ubisoft's permission or not i know it's ubi's game but ubi did'nt make these mods the modders did so they should of asked for THEIR permission..i know if they asked me for my permission for something i would of told them to take a long walk off a short pier with concrete boots.

Every piece of text and code inside the files that came with SHIII is UBI´s. We can mod them, but without UBI´s permission to do so, something like X1 can take them and sell them. Hell, take could even take the whole TGW mod and make cover art for it and put to shelves. They have permission to mod the files, we dont.

I'm sorry but that is just plain wrong IMO we ( the modding community ) put the hard work in, plus we ( as modders ) are keeping a game alive that could of died ages ago. Yet we are constantly releasing mods FOR FREE , both the NYGM and GW teams are releasing big mods that almost change the entire game, both teams are getting posts relating to people coming back to play SH3 due to these two said mods. but it's the modding community as a whole ( not just NYGM, GW ) that is keeping this game fresh and enjoyable to play.

The flightsim, trainsim and the racing (just started) community has been doing this for ages so it is no suprise that it has come here... good, bad or otherwise it was bound to happen as people will always look for a way to make a buck

@Pants: The only game I know, that really cares about the community is IL2. Oleg Maddox regularily visits the forums and gives info of the new patches etc.

It is wrong, but this is how the world works. Money, money, money.

I bought and enjoyed the expansion pack to COD.

The screen shots look pretty nice to me, along with:

- New campaign script, new missions, new sounds & graphics;

- Fixes to DD hydrophones;

- Roughly sixty new cities, including ports & industry;

- Naval & airbase locations in Europe, North America, Britain and the Pacific region;

- New objects including ships, search lights, bunkers, minefields & air defenses;

- Enhancements to sub interior and exterior;

- Stationary ships in harbors & harbor patrols;

- Historical activity such as Dunkirk, Dieppe & D-Day;

- New radio messages;

- Escorts out of hazardous harbors;

- Maps showing French harbors and the PTO grid;

- 22 single missions and four multiplayer missions;

- Tutorial for Fire a Spread and Attacking a Convoy;
- & more.

I'd pay 15 bucks (or less once it's out for awhile) for it.

Same here...

Save your money and download the mods for free.

Everything that shegeek72 lists from the add-on can be downloaded for free.
That and the NYGM and GW mods are far superior in quality and contain pretty much everything in that list in 1 big mod plus more that is not in that add-on.
