Quote from Furyo

it costs too much money to maintain different assets and code bases for all.

^This.

If anyone has any MP feedback that isn't "lol stop the pirates" post away

The "auto aim" was only ever for gamepads, as soon as you used keyboard/mouse it disabled it.

A true sausage fest in every sense ;D.

Welcome to the Games Industry

To be fair, Ninja Theory turned me down for not having a Maths A-Level which wasn't even a requirement. I always found that odd when I had a Computer Science A Level instead.

Nice to see people are playing it before commenting

MERCS on the MegaDrive

Played some of it at work yesterday, won't be buying. Its Modern Warfare 2 with some new skins and xml weapon changes, plus it looks terrible. Local splitscreen looks sub HL2 quality.

I have a pair of IIYAMA ProLite E2472HD-B1 24" monitors at work, they are made of win.

Slackers?

Home lovers.

Slackers.

UK wise (England at least) there are a fair few studios that are doing OK depsite all the doom and gloom posted around, Crytek also has a studio here.

Over here at least the leads are equivalent to senior seniors. We have production managers/producers that deal with the paperwork. Whilst they may do more paperwork (which depends on department) than a senior, the majority of their day is still hands on.

That said being in the design department we do spend a lot of time in meetings/writing anyway

Leads lead Seniors

Nothing new.

This sums it up in 2 words. Its a "ticks the boxes" FPS.

I'm solely responsible for CryCore UK

Eurogamer Expo I'm guessing? Not sure what we had there, obviously SP demo, did they have the MP demo?

Crytek UK are looking for environment artists Send me a PM if interested.

Seems half of RTW are at Crytek UK this week for interviews..

I've been using GoDaddy's Unlimited hosting packages for a while now, no complaints and quick responses to any questions or queries I have. They were quite good value at the time but I haven't shopped around as other people pay for it now and its just a no profit favour to a few people.

Quote from Jetsetlemming

I was under the impression that Crytek in general was working on crysis 2, with porting duties on the guys who have actually worked on consoles before, the timesplitters guys.
