well it's been 18 months since I started this thread and boy not much has changed except I got some more work done on finishing the mod (which is mainly a map I need to finish so we can release). I took Styx (which I posted here a long long time ago when it was done) and redesigned it slightly to work for our new game play. Sadly enough the old design didn't work as it was made for our alien game play which we scrapped about 2 years ago. After my work on changing and fixing the game play and game flow on Russia to fit well for the Off Limits game play I started work on Styx, which will be our vehicle based map, so we'll release with two maps Russia and Styx and see from there on what happens with the mod. I'm finally after all this time close to finishing the newer version of Styx which I pretty much redid from scratch and updated a lot of the art to be more up to date, and with the new Orange Box engine and lighting I could update a lot. I posted an update on my blog with some work in progress shots for those interested can look here: http://%7boption%7d
In that post I also posted 5 final screenshot of a finished area within the map (more will follow shortly).

I hope to finish this map somewhere in October, finalize and polish the remainder of Off Limits after that and release the bloody mod this year. It's been a long time overdue but we're close... ![]()
