Very nice shots, but I really dislike HDR. It burns everything up, as if the player's eyes were a video camera with "dream mode" on. Nothing like what you see in real life... at all.
It makes the game beautiful, but in a strange, artsy-looking way, like a movie with an interesting style. Any...
The dolphin-diving combat is awesome :) You must do it yourself if you want to win. Makes you feel very maneuverable, like you can throw your body-weight around, and increases accuracy, making it a groovy aspect of combat.

Back to DoD, is it a game about territory, or flags, or squads, or...
I would like the opinion of a regular Battlefield2 player. I find it difficult to take these opinions seriously, because I'm basing my decision on buying this on its comparison to BF2, which I play regularly.
Let me clarify. In infantry combat you always carry a side-arm. At least if you want to live.
Well, my point being, that if giving the rifle class a pistol would unbalance the game, then it sounds like something might be wrong with the pistol. I mean, let's face the bottom line: the rifleman...
Are all you guys using AMD chipsets?
Or dual-channel? I'm also using AMD (nForce2 chipset) and dual-channel, and I crash a lot.
Maybe I should make a specs poll, to figure out if there are patterns among people who crash.
I just wanted to give a heads up for people who get this error... Are you mixing RAM? My brother was getting this error all the time until he un-mixed his RAM (which was DDR 400 and DDR 333 until he removed one).
I too get the error semi-frequently (like once every hour or two of gameplay)...
Alright, I completely sealed off the visibility through the apartment building (and turned off all vis groups except Solids, so I could make certain), and adjusted the Hint brushes to what I thought would be much better sealing positions, but the engine is still sees right through it and draws...
As a final online test for this map, there's gonna be a team battle Sunday night at 8 pm Pacific time, 11 pm Eastern time, at "House of Red" (24.215.39.198), courtesy of Mike Brown.
All are invited. Bring your best video card (at least 6600 equivalent, or med settings) and some friends, and...
Hey Physicles, thanks for going in-depth.
[answer to last question:] Yeah, I'm not through makign maps, but I'm done with HL2 (Im not a big CS fan, and there's nothing else worthwhile for me right now).
I'm going through the map right now with that advice in mind, and I did realize by...
I don't think it's difficult to get bots to use the Gravity Gun. It's easier than getting them to pick up items off the ground, because all they have to do is "shoot" the item in order to suck it into their GravGun, then "shoot" again at a target.
The only major problem I could see is getting...
I really do think it could be a lot different, and with a better (or at least very different) feel to it than CSS.
CSS has a lot of solid gameplay power, with solid weapons, etc. Just throw in a gravity guns, moveable blockades, Combine, Rebels, and some other new stuff to make the game...
This is the final release candidate, fully compiled (unlike the previous tests which were "fast" compiles), and I REALLY need it tested online this time, so I can release it.
I shaved off about 80 physics and ammo items, so netplay should be back down to about Lockdown level.
Please test...
