DESCRIPTION

The mod adds SuperSoldier classes (with complete RPGO integration options) in the game along with their iconic perks and equipment. The concepts are:

  • SPARTAN-II (Halo)
    Pros: Durable. Very strong battlefield presence.
    Cons: Not very efficient for a stealthy approach. Limited self-healing capability.
  • Nanosuit Operative (Crysis)
    Pros: Extremely versatile. Does not wear-out in the battlefield.
    Cons: Energy-dependent.
  • Ghost Operative (Starcraft)
    Pros: Superior cloaking. Very high single-shot damage and assassination potential. Psionics.
    Cons: Risky if not used properly. Cloak dependent. Slow fire-rate.
  • Ninja (Ninja Gaiden)
    Pros: Superior mobility and concealment. High damage and assassination potential. Psionics.
    Cons: Risky if not used properly. Dodge and concealment dependent. Mainly melee.
  • Cyborg (Metal Gear/Ghost in the Shell)
    Pros: Durable. Versatile. Fully augmented.
    Cons: Energy dependent with limited energy pool.
  • N7 Operative (Mass Effect)
    Pros: Many specializations to choose from, each one excels at a specific role with enough tools to deal damage and survive in the battlefield.
    Cons: Choosing one specialization will discard the rest of them.

The main goal is to keep the classes lore-friendly to their source. Balance is a "secondary" factor. That means that the classes are strong and each one offers a unique playstyle with different pros and cons.

A list of the added classes, abilities and equipment can be found here[docs.google.com].

This version requires RPGO. A non-RPGO version can be found here.

NOTE: The mod does not add appearances for the soldiers, only the gameplay features. If you want the appearances, check the recommended mods in Mod Suggestions or Q&A discussions.

Check the Mod Suggestions and the Q&A for more info about the mod.

*NOTE: The mod also adds some nation/flag customization options related to the available classes.

ACCESSIBILITY

By default, all classes are disabled. You can enable the ones you want manually or by downloading their "activation mods" here, in order to set their NumInDeck=1 and NumInForcedDeck=1.

If you want them as fully integrated RPGO specializations, subscribe to the "RPG Overhaul: SuperSoldiers Specialization Pack" here.
NOTE: You don’t need the activation mods if you use this.

Check the Mod Suggestions if you want to use other mods to better handle their availability.
