The IOM seems to be getting a lot of stuff people have wanted for a long time, so uh:

What's going to happen going forward in regards to things Tripwire could/should add that IOM already does?



IOM has or may have soon:

More weapons including molotovs and a proper AT nade for Ger.

Better skins

Better sounds

Better explosions

Shrapnel

Better gore

Death moans

Detachable bayonets

Cape thingy



(It also has a bunch of stuff which changes the gameplay balance but I'm leaving that out.)



The stuff I listed could all be done by Tripwire and added (but I don't think they have the time given some of them were suggested years ago) or the non gameplay stuff from the IOM could be directly integrated to the game.



Much like maps and vehicles (sort of :() already are added from the community this could be another oppurtinity to improve the game while not taking up all the time that TW could be using for something else.



This also has the benifit of given the "straight upgrade" bits of the IOM to everyone while reserving the gameplay "I don't know if everyone will like it" bits for the mod.
