NvidiaN Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Hi, My name is NvidiaN and I'm a part of a Half-Life 2 mod called JungleMist. Our site is http://www.junglemistmod.com if you'd like to check it out or #junglemist on gamesurge, I'll post a brief synopsis of our game in a moment. We're looking for a couple of mappers with some ideas that would fit into our game well. Description: JungleMist is an intense first person shooter mod for the HL2 game, which is placed throughout jungle area's throughout the world. Note: we aren't only going to have strict jungle maps. The most unique aspect of our mod is our statistics tracking system, entitled ANGEL. ANGEL tracks and logs all statistics from every server in the mod, and stores them in secure servers controlled by the mod. Statistics will accumulate and players are rewarded for it, with unique weapon upgrades, armor upgrades, etc. Ex: laser scopes, extended barrels, bigger mag's. The system was designed to reward players in the long run for playing the game, not having to regain experience every time you join another server. If you'd like to submit some previous works or future concepts, stop by our irc channel or email me at swatpro04@hotmail.com
NvidiaN Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Posted January 12, 2005 Oh boy! CS in the jungle! now i've played cs, and cs:s but i don't ever recall getting weapon upgrades after 3 months of play, just because i've accrued a certain number of experience points...
Duff-e Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Oh boy! CS in the jungle! man....posty......lay off the guy.....seriously why do you have to flame him
The Postman Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 look at the site. Same guns as CS, same realism feel, just happens to be in a jungle. Come on, I just wish people will vary up the guns a little at least is all. Oh boy! Another mp5! I hope it fires the same as the last 400 I'ved played with :-? I mean, good luck and all, but cripes, I'd kill for a little originality in the mod scene.

Kedhrin Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Modern Warfare = Modern Guns no way to avoid it, its nothing about originality kkkkkkkkkk thx die
Duff-e Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 OH NO, FARCRY HAD AN MP5 IT MUST BE BAD OH NO EVERY GAME THAT IS ACTUALLY TRYING FOR REALISM HAS AN MP5 BECAUSE WHY *gasp* BECAUSE ITS A REAL GUN THAT IS REALLY POPULAR USED BY REAL SPECIAL FORCES its overused for a good reason.....people dont have to be running around with fucking G36C for it to be a good mod
chuckybob Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 what seperates jm from cs is about 40 more weapons and a greater incline towards realism. the reason a lot of the weapons are the same is two-fold: 1) most of the similar weapons are very common in the world, or have a reputation for being good weapons (mp5, ak-47, barretta 92fs) 2) the less common weapons are renowned for their traits or the group that uses them and/or bring a different set of stats to the gameplay (bizon, svd, rpk-74). another thing that seperates jm from cs is the afformentioned ANGEL stats system. as far as i know, no fps in history has ever even attempted something like this. not to mention the ability to upgrade your weapons with LAMs, scopes, bayonets, grenade launchers, and an assortment of other attatchments. and i agree, theres a serious lack of originality in the mod scene and in the game industry, but fps's are (relatively) easy, and theres still room for innovation.
Schmung Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 theres room for variation, CS is basically shit where guns are concerned, people just say anything squad based with real guns is a ripoff regardless. Alas, the proble is, a lot of mods are. HI went too far one way for my tastes, what we really need is for someone to nail the point at which fun and realism converges and then give us exciting maps and varied weaponry.
The Postman Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 The stats thing actually sounds pretty neat.
NvidiaN Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Posted January 13, 2005 The stats thing actually sounds pretty neat. thanks if you want...go on our suggestions forum and suggest things to make it more original...we've all tried to add our own ideas as you'll see if you go on it btw, any mappers interested?
Algor Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 what seperates jm from cs is about 40 more weapons and a greater incline towards realism. That just scares me even more. I want to see mods that are original, very fun, and have extreme action. Usually mods that have modern real world weaponry and high levels of realism don't have any of those features.
