Maybe we should really get a forum for "other games" which don't fit to the current sections to prevent all the non-halflife2 related threads...
Anyway, I have been to Crytek on Saturday, they develop "Farcry" of which some of you might have already heard of (if not, check http://www.farcrythegame.com ). Me and the 2 other guys in the Monkeystrike leadership were invited to present possible mod concepts for the game and to take a look at the editing tools and the game itself. Crytek wants selected modders to et familiar with the tools and the game even before the game ships, they also plan to support them in some parts of development, this may be a smart move to create a growing Farcry MOD community.
I'm quite impressed by the game's engine and look forward to the game. I'm curious if it will be able to compete with Stalker and Half-Life2.
Make sure to watch the videos on the site if you haven't already!
Oh, and "Narby" wasn't in the office that day, but I made the senior programmer send him "regards from mapcore"
