@ Seir, cool man! 
But I would vary the the sizes a bit like you see in the "ref", as you can see it's not a straight line like you have modeled now. Bah, I'm bad at explaining stuff like this. Like if you see the ref from the side, the barrel sticks out a bit... That makes the shape nice.
Anyhow, keep it up! 
Quote from PogoPOh well that's a bit shit
Back to Karkand is a massive, themed expansion pack available a period of time after the base game, developed by a separate team here at DICE -- the same team that brought you Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. If you played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, you have a pretty good idea about the scope and ambition of our expansion packs. This is so much more than just four remixed maps.
If you pre-order Battlefield 3, you will be able to play Back to Karkand at no extra charge as soon as it is released, but it is not day one DLC and it is not on the base game disc. We think it’s a sweet deal, and it’s available to everyone everywhere. If you do not pre-order Battlefield 3, you can still buy Back to Karkand separately and play it as soon as it is released, the very same date as anyone who pre-ordered. In other words, there is no segmentation of the community when we launch the base game
Vietnam wasn't free as well... and people were fine with that. If you pre-order now you get a chance to get that free once it's released...
Fun fact: I'm the guy with the RPG in those screens 
In other news, I hope the blog post cools the internet a bit down.
Cool stuff, looking forward to it.
And as I wish for every project that finally seems to do something unique, I hope it's actually good!
Quote from HollowFair enough. I will make this my last post regarding the project. But it's a shame you guys didn't take so warmly to it, because it's got some brilliant talent involved. Yes, it looks like I'm trying lead you all down the rabbit hole, but a bit of patience on your part would have gone a long way. If you are unwilling to check back tonight, consider it and opportunity missed to become familiarised with Canvas
Sorry if I wasted your time.
So the cryptic stuff wasn't the announcement on a new mod? It's more content of this so called Canvas mod?
Dunno, just post it in the WIP section. I guess people will be more positive.
Also, what everyone else said. It only works if you know *something* from the start. I'll speak for myself here, I didn't know you, nor the team, nor the mod. All I saw was gibberish, for all we know it could've been a bot posting (happens once a week or something). If I were a fan of the mod and checked out your page regularly or we here at mapcore would've been introduced with it slightly before. Then perhaps we would've welcomed it more.
I hope you see the reason for our rather harsh replies but it seems a bit nonsensical. We love to see new content, but I guess you just introduced it a bit wrong in this regard 
Post the stuff in 12h in the WIP section, unless it's a finished mod, in that case Work Release.
Quote from Mr. HappyWhy is there no alice 1+2 on steam!I missed out on the first one, well, I watched my brother play alot of it. Really excited to get myself into this series of games!
Because it's probably gonna be released on Origin I suppose? It's an EA title after all.
Might get a release on steam as well though...?
Quote from SereniusThe mistake you made was your audience has to know you for this kind of tactic to build suspense. Otherwise it's just annoying.
This. I consider this spam. Random gibberish.
Quote from SereniusCan someone shed some light on what makes the SP campaign of CoD games any different than Battlefield games? Other than walls exploding and dust galore? Just trying to figure out how BF is almost the exact same game, but gets way more love than CoD.
CoD is over the top, like a B action movie of the 80-ies. Everything is scripted and on a rail, no freedom whatsoever. If you play it a second time, it will play out exactly the same. Can be fun sometimes though "epic" and such...
BF has a more realistic and (biased here) elegant design. Also, it has epic vehicle battles.
I like movement, recoil and etc everything that doesn't remind me of the arcady-ish gameplay of CoD in BF.
Destruction, it's cool and satisfying. Remember the scene of The Matrix with the pillars? Destruction IS cool.
BF is as much CoD as one fighting game is the other, or Forza is DIRT... Fans of the genre will notice the difference by a mile, for others... It's all the same. And recently, people seem to be fed up with the same-ishness of CoD every game, while BF does it differently. Albeit marginally if you're not familiar with shooters.
It's 2 different approaches + a lot of fanboyism. BF is good, but good enough for this hype? And does MW3 deserve to be trashed like this? Dunno, we'll see on release.
Quote from BungloI want the maps without pre-ordering and without buying dlc. Make it happen, Rick.
So you're basically already sure you want the game? Then just pre-order and get it free. Keyword is free here in case you didn't listen, it's free. My advice here is free as well, pre-order the game.
In other news, contact Lulzsec, they hack everything these days, even Bethesda. That's right indeed... 
But who knows, perhaps they'll leak the maps... for free, exactly!
Quote from instaIs that the new one? Has it been released???
Apparently it's only out next week 
I got it from the EAStore at work so I guess that's why I got it early... weird.
EDIT:
Just got home and:

Quote from Buddy
And his own verdict on the quality of the final product? "I play everything," he said. "The last time I had a really solid experience like this was Half-Life 2."
For real That's a bold statement. He's really doing his best to warn people that bad reviews don't necessarily mean it's a bad game (cos he knows it'll have shitty reviews).
Gonna be a surprise... we'll see next week.
Quote from GambiniDid anybody noticed that Insta´s puzzle is a shameless rip-off of Machinarium? I´m sorry for popping up the cherry but seeing the contest was about the cleverest idea about how to open a door and merely copying a script from other game isn´t exactly clever.
Suprise suprise... With all this media around, nothing is new and everything's been done before...
You can't play/watch or read everything that's ever invented you know. Most of your "cool and unique" ideas have already been done by other people.
I think it's a bit uncalled for that you make such accusations, you could've compared it and stated the similarities but you have no idea weather it's a rip-off or not. It only shows Machinarium wasn't that clever in the first place if other people come up with the same stuff.
And indeed Insta, play Machinarium if you like puzzles
Quote from D3adsDark City.
I liked that film!
Been searching for more mindfuck movies lately, saw Fight Club last night... I know, I know... A little embarrassing that I haven't seen it before, but it's just one of the many great movies that seem to have slipped of my "down to earth" radar 
Next up: 12 Monkeys.
Quote from NysuatroGood news
ps: Smiling all day hurts ...
August? Wasn't it September? Guess you wont be able to visit then?
We´ll talk!
Anyways... Big congrats man!!
So the rumors were true!
...The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will contain Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
...
...Both collections have been optimized and rebuilt for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with new user interfaces for the HD resolutions, redrawn art, brand new Trophies/Achievements, right analog stick and rumble support, and improved audio.
...
Yes, you read that right... xbox360 as well!
Looks awsome!
But yeah, the voice casting for Lara isn´t the greatest
Just signed a temporary contract until beginning of September to keep working here at Dice (not as an intern anymore but an erhm.. "real employee"). "Assistant Designer", fancy... my first real title
I´m... PSYCHED! And even that is an understatement!
Quote from EvertWho's movies, Kaufman's or Gondry's? Most stuff Kaufman is involved in is highly recomendable IMO
Kaufman indeed.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004 so it´s not new).
Good movie! Although it took a long time for me to actually like the characters Gonna check out some of his other movies, apparently they're good as well.
