Announcing Iron Grip: The Oppression

[Azlan]

Iron Grip: The Oppression is an ambitious mix of sci-fi and fantasy utilizing FPS and RTS elements. The player will have the choice of controlling the Kathos Resistance or the Rahmos. The Resistance will be FPS style, fighting from inside buildings and streets in order to destroy the Rahmos' control points. The Rahmos will use the heavy vehicles you see below using an RTS interface controlled by a General(I assume this concept is similar to Natural Selection). The General can hire a Major (human player) to help him defeat the Kathos. [br]

the link isnt working


also there's some areas of the website that calls the mod "Iron grip", which is the correct name?

...ummm one last question ....cant tell from the site, is this a mp mod? ...the discription is a little confusing

How would the "General" even know that the Resistance fighters really are in FPS mode, if it wasn't multiplayer? What difference would it even make?
This looks like something to look forward to. Just the mention of "please give some information that indicates you are talented and serious about this" gives me a better impression than a lot of other mods.

Edit: All the pictures say Iron Grip as well.

That's...that's a bit rubbish. The idea sounds good though: induviduals against player-controlled AI.

I thought of this when I read the title

 

[NeoNight]

awww I was hoping for a marvel comics inspired mod lol

 

[Vinnie_NL]

I haven't heard of this mod but it looks fantastic. I love the surreal style of the vehicles (like the tank which is shown in the first post and the airships, like this beauty. I hope we can see some 3d models soon.

And let's have a talk about the story. I can't name another mod with a story which is so complete that it even includes the wildlife and the weather.

 

[mortey]

The mod looks like a lot of fun to me.


Those models look good too.

:cheers: , the photoshopped face onto the first screenie looks really hokey otherwise mod looks really neat

 

[dassbaba]

looks good, but will it last?

 

[Asuka]

That concept art looks sweet.

Looks like the "Empires" mod got some competition now.

This mod looks quite promising, I always wanted to play a game where I was playing a different game than everyone else. That aside, I'd love to play this hopefully it reaches completion.

I can't imagine how clans might play this game, seeing as one team has lots of humans and the other only 2. Aside from that, it looks very interesting (Finally, a war mod that chooses alternate reality! The only way to create a wargame funner than a WW2 wargame is to avoid reality, as WW2 is the only war with a sense of scale, importance and romantiscism that a good game thrives off. Just look at BF:V compared to BF:1942 - novelty vs fun).

probably take it in turns or something, for the clan thing?

I didn't mention this in my first post since I thought it would be obvious to everyone else anyway, but take a closer look at that first pic. Notice how everything looks ugly, isn't actual game material(except maybe the model on the right, but I doubt it) and that it's not just the face that's been pasted in? Like the gun, and the face behind the mask. I'm pretty sure that it's a joke.

naa they just having trouble modeling faces I'm guessing. And wanting to show stuff so comping things together ala the first pic.

 

[Sharrd]

You were joking, right?
Either way, I should clarify why it can't possibly be something they want to be taken seriously, since your message will no doubt cause confusion among people who, at times, have problems thinking for themselves. See the guy on the left's body? It's clipped off by a table or something. Check the gun he's "holding"; that's just as copy-pasted as the guy himself. And the guy on the right... It could be a very bad attempt, but I doubt it, considering the quality of the rest of their stuff.

 

[Ome Vince]

tnx guys

Hey guys, tnx for the responses , this mod is going to be finished for sure. We are working extremely hard to finish this stuff off for you guys.

@ Sharrd
just wanted to explain some stuff about the picture :

(its just a small temp-promo image )

The gun IS REAL
All the models are REAL
The whole scene is REAL
The only photoshopping is the face on the left, the explosions and the snowy shit.

The rest is all REAL 3d model, no pasting etc.
And there is no table nor clipping...
But indeed, its not a really brilliant picture :S, we are working on new promo images.

So what's up with half the torso being removed because there's some table-looking thing in the way, and the awkward way he's holding the gun? Anyway, I won't say that you're wrong about it being lots of in-game stuff, since after all, your team made it(the model on the right looks like it could use some more detail on the body, by the way). I just don't understand why you threw in that picture; in all honesty, it sucks, especially compared to the rest of the media available(except for the background. I thought that was something you had gotten from a movie).
So yes, fellow readers, I was wrong. But can you blame me? Also, I'd say that we still shouldn't judge the mod harshly because of that picture.
