[QUOTE=TheTalon;30699928]Might be a nice feature to include all sorts of ground type vehicles. Bradleys, Tanks, with increased sight range. But all optional when you start a game. So you can choose just to have Jeeps... or nothing at all. Might be worth toying around with to see how it works Also, I flattened the heightmap and made the entire map flat, and while that eliminates the line of sight deal, it takes away from gameplay quite a bit. Firefights that take place at the very edge of everyone's range, no cover other than hard cover. Kind of fun but at the same time it has its own little downside Do the soldiers have textures at all? I was wanting to try my hand at editing them a bit[/QUOTE] IIRC the soldiers are made of voxels.
A while ago I collected and created a TON of callsigns/nicknames at last count the number was 100 something. I emptied the first names file and then replaced all the last names with the callsigns. So instead of trying to remember the guy's name who just died you just remember their callsign. And there are so many I've only ever seen the same name twice in one game.
I have thought of an easy fix for the line of sight issue. It would look better than having a faint line, in my opinion. I will demonstrate this idea using my amazing Paint skills.

Nice, posted them in the comments section of the blog.
It would be interesting if you needed LOS to see enemies as well. So, in the above picture, you wouldn't even see the guy on the other side of the hill. However, if you see someone before they go behind a hill or whatever, instead of them instantly disappearing once they're out of your sight, they slowly fade from vision over the course of a few seconds. That way, you wouldn't have guys flickering in and out of view. Would open up the stealth/infiltration game a lot more.

Not a big fan of the artstyle but the gameplay mechanics and concept are certainly original, at least to me.
I find myself shooting at the ground EVERYTIME.
I think a LOS system would be stupid.

Posted the thread link in the blog comments section. It would be nice if pasi noticed and started posting here just like the PZ devs did.
[QUOTE=zeldar;30688277]Salmon, you should apply.[/QUOTE] I did it, I sent him a message basically asking if I could help with the game. I'll keep you guys posted as to what happens.

I like that snow mod but it makes it impossible to see if your shots are hitting terrain and whatnot.[/QUOTE] There's a texture for the bullets that can be edited.
How can you take screenshots in the game? Also, took over the whole hospital with just one ally. Bitches have got to learn how to fear the name of Jesus Johnson with his sidekick, Keith Gomez.

I took the entire Airport single-handed. Where is my fucking medal? [editline]26th June 2011[/editline] Also there were 12 Greys there waiting.
I managed to sneak up on a Green and shanked the shit out of him. Then his twelve buddies all turned around at the same time and shot me to death.

This could work well with a commander and squad system similar to in BF2, where the commander can order artillery, and put waypoints on the map for each squad telling them where to attack or defend, and if you're in a squad, you spawn on your leader.
This is gonna be just like "Ace of Spades".
[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;30718113]This is gonna be just like "Ace of Spades".[/QUOTE] How can it be Ace of Spades if it isn't fps?
[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;30718113]This is gonna be just like "Ace of Spades".[/QUOTE] It'd be great if you were to explain what that means
the model works and I do fancy the artstyle but my complaint is that the movement controls are ankward, only 8 directions to move in an option for moving where the cursor points would be nice wait fuck that all I have a joystick! [editline]26th June 2011[/editline] brb /k/ might like this esp after their game was scrapped.
By "Like "Ace of Spades" i meant. It will be hyped, applauded and featured on Gaming magazine websites. After then it will go down, people will start forgetting and the majority will stop playing. As it usually happens.
Except the dev for this clearly plans on adding more updates in the very near future, but although if you like being skeptical that's fine too..
[QUOTE=zeldar;30719872]Except the dev for this clearly plans on adding more updates in the very near future, but although if you like being skeptical that's fine too..[/QUOTE] It's how it mostly happens. :smith: I wish it wasn't true either.

I can't seem to kill anybody. I just can't aim, any tips?
Needs tanks and jeeps...
