Any of you guys tried out the demo yet?

I dont have COD4 for PC but I am enjoying watching the building process of this map. Good luck with it.

Xbox Live: sarge mat

PSN: sargemat

Steam: sargemat

There is a space on my XBL tag. I am on Live the most of the time but I will be on PSN for some Killzone 2 closer to the time and I am always up for L4D on steam.

Thanks man. Working on that now.

I just noticed one or two of the spawn points are in a bad place. Will need to fix that too.

Great news for our games Industry in the UK, with the Government not really doing much to help it grow. Really looking forward to seeing what Crytek UK will be working on.

Hey.

I am thinking about putting out a final version soon so I thought it would be a good idea to post some new screenshots and a new beta to get a last push for feedback. Still a few things I want to fix but, let me know what you think.

Thanks

I really enjoyed it, controls did not bother me but it did take a bit to get to grips with. Regardless I think it’s going to take a lot to top it this year.

Three Battlefield games this year! It’s going to be a good one.

Really looking forward to all three of them. Hope to get in the heroes beta soon.

This look better? I turned up the brightness a good bit. But i think it might need more still. Adding a few more details to this area too.

Thanks.

Yea it’s going to require a bit of trial and error to see what works best there light wise.

Time for a few more screenshots:

I replaced those two spiky things with something that fits in a bit better. There is also an amour pick up on the second one.

Two light sources added here. I didn't think it looked good just coming from the jump pad and weapon spawn.

Some roots added here. What do you think? I think it adds a bit more detail to the path. One or two more on up a bit.

I wish they would do away with scores all together. Get sick of people arguing over them.

Halo is a great game BTW.

I should say I mean control wise.

As sad as it would be to see it not on PC anymore if it played like Halo Wars, it will be good.

I wish MS would make up there minds what they want to do with PC. Its all about games for windows live and the next thing the head of GFW Live gets layed off and one of there major studios is closeing down. Sure smaller ones are coming out of that but.....

I agree.

But at least two new studio are starting up out of this Ensemble Online to cover Halo Wars DLC and other things, as well as another studio not sure if they will be under MS too. I am hopeing one of them will work on a new AOE.

As I said in the Dawn of War topic I have been playing (the demo that is) so I can preview it for an Xbox fan site. I am just stunned at how good it is, all the little Halo details are in there and it works very well as an RTS. It will most likely be my main multiplayer game for a long time to come.

The cut scenes are CGI movie quality and that’s no joke, I can't believe they put so much effort into them. It’s clear they looked at all the books etc to make sure it all fits in with the cannon and ads a lot to it. Although you can only play as the UNSC and convent, both sides are very different and there are also the human rebels as AI hostiles on the maps and the flood who are not in the demo.

The only thing is missing is space battles. But it stands up to any PC RTS in my opinion. The special powers are very interesting too.

Quote from Erratic

So, that pretty much makes 2 of us around these parts

Speaking of Halo Wars I just got early demo access so I can do a preview for an Xbox fan site I write for.

Thanks alex.

I fixed the blocking issue so the camera should not be able to get out now. There are still some issues around the edge where the blocking is not 100% yet though. You can't get out but you can go through the wall a bit in one or two places.

Some people have suggested the waterfall might look better if I break it down more so I might try out a few different ideas to see how the look.

Beta 2 is now up for people who have the game: http://files.filefront.com/Waterfall+Be ... einfo.html

Thanks

I am really enjoying it but then again I only ever played the demo of COH's so I might think differently if I was really into it. Only problem is it’s out Feb19th and Halo Wars is out on the 28th. And buying any new Halo game is a legal and moral requirement for me.
