[img]http://www.wesleytack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/OffLimitsBetaFP.jpg[/img] [quote] The first public beta of Off Limits is out. Servers are up and running! Download it and join the fun! You can download Off Limits through our ModDB downloads page or from Desura. It's a 290MB download and a 600MB install. I have set up 8 servers (4 US and 4 EU). I want to thank all hosts for helping me setting them up and giving us their services! If anyone wants to host their own server please let me know in PM so I can update the server list![/quote] [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/off-limits/news/off-limits-beta-released[/url] I was in the beta for it and it was really fun. I highly suggest checking it out.

This is late, it was released like about 3 days ago

News post was just approved, so I don't really care. :smile:

Watching that video on their Moddb page (which looks great, btw), the maps look very dull. The maps are fantastic, but the lighting is really bland and they have close to no atmosphere, really letting them down.

The beta got released a few days ago and all of the servers are dead. Found one player though and we shot each other a few times before getting bored. This mod is pretty fun and interesting with the shield grenades and weapon loadouts, but it seems to be DOA.

Pretty much. Poor decision by the devs for releasing it during the Steam sale.

I didnt find the mod very fun, and for 8 years of work they could have really worked on gameplay because its lacking.

Seems like the fun in this game is... Off Limits

apparently bullets all hit above your crosshair for some reason, and the assault rifle has like shotgun spread

Manged to play today with a couple of devs + others, got a 4v4 game going and I have to say the vehicles are fun. Mod is well made and runs relatively smooth, maps and models are all high quality. Note for some of you, you have to go ingame to see servers in the browser.

[QUOTE=Penis Colada;30911360]apparently bullets all hit above your crosshair for some reason, and the assault rifle has like shotgun spread[/QUOTE] Someone reported that too.

So It's just a template mod with some models and maps.

No, its a very polished first beta. Seriously, theres a handful of minor bugs, thats it. At the moment the game needs 4 players for the match to start, so waiting for players is a bit of an issue, mod needs a proper warm up round of some description.

[QUOTE=Penis Colada;30911360]apparently bullets all hit above your crosshair for some reason, and the assault rifle has like shotgun spread[/QUOTE] I experimented with all the firearms. Its just the assault rifles with the firing bug, the rest of the guns are fine. In terms of bugs the ones I found were just a mismatched icon for the Vanguard smg and the benelli nova animation freezes in the middle while still loading shells. The different animations for the full reload and a mid mag reload is a nice touch, and the maps look fairly nice, so considering it was made by two people its pretty good. The problem is, of course, the assault rifle bug and the fact that no one is playing it.

I played way back during the Alpha stages. It was basically a huge waste of time, whenever I pointed out problems or difficulties in the gameplay, the Devs blew me off and said "It's a mod that requires you to play a lot to be good", which is of course a vicious cycle for anyone who tries to join in. They spent way too long on effects and the content and didn't actually bother to try to make the gameplay fun for people who hadn't been playing for months+.

The banner looks nice atleast.
