Firearms 2 - Big Media Update

[Evo]

The Firearms 2 team have just released a big media update with six new weapons fully modeled, textured and in-game. They have also revealed that the mod has been upgraded to the Orange Box SDK. A small selection of the new media can be seen below.

Head on over to the [url=http://www.firearms2mod.com/]Firearms 2 site[/url] for all the new media.

 

[Apocalypse89]

I remember there being a lot of drama surrounding this mod...something to do with a member performing a "hostile take over" of the mod and most of the team leaving to start anew.

Someone remind me, is this the "original" mod that got taken over or the "new" one being developed by the original team? I'm only going to support the latter.

I forget which one this is

 

[Stigmata]

A media update? On April 1st?

I can see the pixels.

 

[Apocalypse89]

I did a quick search...and found this:

http://www.firearmsmod.com/

So apparently Firearms 2 is the one that got "taken over". That's some nice media they got there, but there's no way I can support a mod with a past like this. So here's one player that won't be waiting for it.

 

[Pulse]

Politics aside, I loved the original HL version and will be keen to see how this turns out.

 

[Gargantou]

Apocalypse89, that's godawful, IMO HalfLife2.net should boycott the mod..

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Apocalypse89, that's godawful, IMO HalfLife2.net should boycott the mod..

Why? Because someone is using anothers IP? How many modifications in the game world are doing the same thing?

 

[Apocalypse89]

Most of those other modifications didn't forcibly and aggressively hijack the work of other hard-working modders.

 

[Gargantou]

Apocalypse89, exactly, and not only the work, we're talking entire WEBSITES..

Using another IP is one thing, hijacking said IPs forums and website and bannning all of the original team is another..

Sadly DiSTuRbEd seems like always more interested in trying to criticize my opinions etc than actually reading the article you linked to.

 

[Ennui]

Some of us DO boycott it, I wouldn't be caught dead posting FA2 news. I almost deleted this newspost but figured Evo could decide to if he wanted.

 

[Shinobi]

^^ ennui, did you get my messages about our news update (I submitted through the main page and pmmed you)?

I sent it a few days ago

 

[Ennui]

Oh yeah, I went to the FAS site and the update wasn't live yet =P and then I saw the site again later with the update on it but forgot to post, and now it's too late, apologies D:

 

[Shinobi]

oh well, the next one after this will have way more seks than the current one so I suppose it's all good, dont want to oversaturate

 

[Investigator]

So, http://www.firearms2mod.com/ are the bad guys
http://www.worldatwarmod.com/ are the good guys
Now i am asking myself, who is working on this one http://www.firearms-source.com./ ?

Just realized Shinobi's sig, which brings some light to the dark, but i am still interested wether the old FA team is now working on WaW or FAS.

 

[Shinobi]

worldatwarmod was a (now defunct) mod made by the original FA team after they moved on to source

 

[Betelgeuze]

Like I told them on moddb: change the name of the mod and the problem should be solved. Looks like they don?t care and stay ignorant.
Mods have a hard time to find players, who will play this thing after what they did?

 

[Evo]

Apologies if anyone is offended by this update, I myself got confused between which team was the 'good' one and, upon seeing new media went for the news. That is all.

 

[Shinobi]

screw the drama




it's all about the games and mods, no reason to make this halflife90201

 

[Investigator]

worldatwarmod was a (now defunct) mod

I am sad to hear this, they have some very fine media on their site. Lets hope this content doesnot get lost.

 

[Shinobi]

much of it is in FAS

 

[StardogChampion]

It looks like CS on the HL1 engine.

 

[highlander]

Damn taking over someones mod like that. that's f*cking shit. I'm glad hl2.net boycotts their news...

 

[Docm30]

I hate to sound rude, but those maps look pretty awful; they're all square and bland, and lacking detail.

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

Was I the only one who read "akimbo macios" instead of "akimo MAC 10s"?

 

[Intamin]

It looks like CS on the HL1 engine.

Haha, totally what I was thinking.

I'll pass, thanks.

 

[undertone]

if anyone gets confused. look at my sig.

 

[Majestic XII]

People beat me to the "looks like hl1" comments :/

 

[Ennui]

It does though... there is more to mapping than making level geometry and throwing basic textures on it, those shots are horrendously dull and uninspired.

 

[Apocalypse89]

Yeah, I said that "nice media" comment without even looking at the shots...they don't look too hot. It's like Counter-Strike: Source with uglier graphics.

 

[Shinobi]

.....

 

[Geogaddi]

Is it just me or does that look like a lot like CS_Italy?

 

[undertone]

Is it just me or does that look like a lot like CS_Italy?

it is because many of those textures can be found in that very map... and not in the hl2.cgf

funny how they steal things and don't mention it to anyone.

 

[Ennui]

Yeah, like their mod itself.

 

[xcellerate]

funny how they steal things and don't mention it to anyone.

they have listed on their site many times that they're using CS stuff, and they apologize for it, and eventually they'll have their own stuff...eventually.

 

[undertone]

i think that was us that said that. they're mounting their game off of hl2, while using CS and DOD resources. I think thats illegal.
