Although it wasn’t actually the first HER I made, it was the first one to be public released. HER stands for Hajas Extreme Realism, and it makes the game a much more realistic and fair version to play.
The idea came to me even before the launch, when I played the demo version as soon as it was released. Despite the incredible visuals, it was a game with extremely stupid and bad gameplay, nothing compared to what made the Medal of Honor franchise dominate the FPS market for so many years.
I managed to modify the demo version itself and released it unpretentiously just to show how I thought the gameplay balancing should be. And to my surprise, it had thousands of downloads quickly followed by many compliments, soon becoming Mod of the Week and Mod of the Month on several websites.
With the launch of the game and followed by the launch of HER Airborne, it only consecrated the sample that had been demonstrated in the demo version, winning over many players and fans, which encouraged me to publish HER Battlefield 2, which I had already been playing on my Home LAN for some time with enormous success.
The mod was so successful that I even maintained a website exclusively for it which remains online to this day, although most of the links no longer work and it is not responsive. Check the website here. It was with HER Airborne that I started to create my small army of friends passionate about FPS with realism, where most of them continue to play with me to this day.
In early 2008, the latest version of HER Airborne was released and I was then interviewed by Total Gaming Network about the mod and all the problems that led to the failure of such a promising game, and even a petition to ask for the removal of parachutes from the game, which is quite absurd because the game was called Airborne.
And as incredible as it may seem, the request was promptly accepted and they released a mode without parachutes in multiplayer, but in vain, since there was no one else playing.
Later that year I had the honor of participating in the highly regarded Bash and Slash Podcast at the time, where HER Airborne was also featured.
