  • Job ~~

    I want to say that if YOU do a good job i don't think it matters how good the game is.After all you will have you're portfolio and that has to count for something.

    Wouldn't it?

    Sure, your individual skills count a lot, however having worked on big titles makes you stand out. Companies like to hire people from other big companies/competitors to adapt their knowledge and experience. It makes a difference if you worked on Half-Life 2 or Deer Hunter....but yea, in the end it also comes down to what exactly you have done in the project (and for how long).

    What daytime is that level set at? I'm seeing a little bit of orange at the horizon, so if you want to make it dusk/dawn, you should emphasize it and tweak it a little more. If you're going for complete daylight, props for that, but I think the level lacks some ambience. So working on the lighting wouldn't hurt in my opinion. Especially since this is assault, CTs raiding the warehouse at dawn/night, this kind of thing.

    Also I don't see any trees, I think they would really enhance the scene (the hills are completely empty).

    Oh, and somehow that roof texture of the warehouse is really distracting, at least on the screenshot, maybe you can find a better one.

    Overall looking good though, keep it up!

    Yea I agree, that's probably the way it should work. However I wouldn't like to see "the most recent" thread or thread with "most replies", because some stuff isn't very good, maybe just controversial or off-topic, so either we should use a rate system (best rated threads go to the frontpage, downside: threads might be old by the time they make it to the fp) or admins/moderators pick the most interesting threads for the frontpage (downside: the threads still have to be "put" on the frontpage by some person).

    I think the later method is the best though, it ensures quality and it's no big deal to click 2 buttons to display it on the fp when you read the forums anyway.

  • Your best Battlefield 2 moment so far...

    I love dogfights in jets. One time I actually had a wingman from my team, we were both hunting the same hostile jet, which looked really impressive because we flew so close to each other...and eventually we also crashed into each other before we could shoot the opponent fighter down

    It was cool anyway

    Agreed

    Something else that also comes to mind, is that in this thread we all glorify ourselves by calling us the elitest and coolest bad asses on the planet (except me ofc, im nub). But almost no work is presented because those of us that actually are bad assed pro's cant show their work (except maybe once a year) because its for a game that's coming out soon... As more and more of Mapcore gets jobs, less and less hard-core pro shit is WIP'd here

    Quoted for truth. This generation of mapcorians seems to consist of people who are working in the industry by now and thus cannot present their work due to NDAs, people who wrap up their stuff for applications these days and the freaks who just rant and don't create any content themselves (I love you guys ). Simply put: We need new souls!

    IRC channel is around 50, though that beats #dod with their 25. I guess since the forums are here, more people go here instead of to IRC. Growth is good, now someone needs to work on the front page ...

    I can't connect to Gamesurge anymore out of some reason that's why I mostly hang around here, I have to do some research on this hmm....

    I agree about the frontpage, what can we do about it? Maybe frequent updates with editing news, or industry news, or both? Or just an article every one in a while? I wouldn't mind some new faces at all. Let's try to think of something.

    About the newbie friendliness: You should never be harsh when criticising someone's work, but you should be honest. Which we are, we got the high standards but maybe we need to work on how to help people with that sometimes.

    After all you should be able to take it when you post here though. Want core? Get core
