Wet, half naked college boys swinging on a rope.And I thought you had to pay to see that on the internet.

LOL:D

WoW, 4k km! When I have drown a few hundred, then I consider that as a lot...

I hope the gas cheap down there;)

I really agree here. Your other photos were so nice and then there just came this disgusting picture with so little taste:/

Looks cool, but a bit messed up. Seems like that you need a more consistent theme.

im gonna startsome ohyer shit yomottow.. proly.. anyone have any ideas i can use for a "scene",,,, ? using 3dsmax and some texess?

A high-tech arabic desert city.

I think it looks way to professional to be a fake. It would for sure be a revolution if one of the next-gen consoles support VR.

Looks cool enough to me. Space marines vs. monsters might not be original, but I care more about the actual gameplay.

We are now releasing the fgd to the public so that everybody can begin their SoW2 mapping.

Looks nice indeed, but I love the UT engine:) I agree with most people here. The map needs more details and the terrain needs to be much bigger.

Seems like a wise purchase to me. Reality and Unreal3 are among the best of their class.

if those are my model they were designed to look good in a redish lighting.. now they look very green.

If you are talking about the models in SoW_Khefren, then yep, it is your models:)

this mod could be interesting maybe. if the gameplay was more about stealth tactics in massive open enviorments... like finding sand colored people in sand with a high powered rifle.

The environments in SoW2 will be more massive and open than in SoW1.

Cut the real time warfare shit, its boring; Rather make it more in style of the concept weapons (the ones with clothing), nomad style. I think it would atleast make it abit special, and not just a "cs clone" in pure sand environments.

Thx the the idea, I agree. We are actually working on cutting the real time warfare shit for SoW2. In SoW1 the teams were very bland, but in SoW2 they will far more different. One of the teams will have this nomad stile that you are talking about. The other team will be high tech and polished:) This should seperate our mod from all the CS clones.

I would go if E3 was closer to DK...

Site

We are current in the proces of migrating all content on the site to a CMS system utilizing the forum. This allows for us to easily update the site without having to mess with ftp, html, etc. Furthermore it also gives more people on the team the oppurtunity to edit and update the site.

As you can see we have added a bar so that you can go through all the old news easily. On the forum we have added a warning system so that we easily can administrate the users.

The new URLs are:

Homepage: http://www.sandsofwar.net

Forum: http://www.sandsofwar.net/forum

We have updated the jobs page, which can be found here:

http://www.sandsofwar.net/index.php?page=jobs

It now contains all the information you need if you are thinking of applying for a position on the Sands of War team. We have also added the number of open positions. We are currently recruiting positions for all areas on the team, so please apply if you have any experience in game development(mapping, coding, texturing, modelling, etc.)

We do also have Developer Journals now. You will get to hear a lot of insider detail, which don't make it to the frontpage. You can also learn a bunch about how we work and what we work on.

Concept art

This week we are showcasing some special concept art. The weapons below are not just concepts, they are actually modelled in 3d! Concept sketches like these make it much easier to see what the weapon looks like. Furthermore it is also much faster to do the model, as the concepts are already in 3d.

Both of the weapons are for CoDe. The first one is the sniper for the Recon and the last is the Vulcan for the Commando.

About what?

There are not really anything serious left to discuss in this thread and therefore you should not reply to it anymore. I browse and moderate many forums each day, so I prefer not reading through all kind of meaningless stuff.

Would be fun to try:) Are you up for it Strat?

Here is an ingame shot of the map I posted yesterday:
