Fortress Forever Media Update

[Munro]

The highly anticipated modification Fortress Forever has released a huge media update on their site. You can view a couple of screenshots of their 'well' and 'cornfield' maps as well as some weapons. They have also completed their new 'civilian' model which remarkably looks just like Winston Churchill.[br]

Well looks a bit drab; both the colors and the architecture are very "meh." And I had hoped they'd leave out any references to HL2, but there's the Citadel in Cornfield. Civilian's a good-looking model, even though I personally don't feel like he fits--the only resemblance to the original civ is his clothing.

At least the RPG looks good.

Anybody wanna play Monster Rain?

I hate TFC. KFC is much better.

 

[Smigit]

the above 2 screen shots are rather drab but theres some nicer ones at the site trepid_jon linked too. Infact looking at those this looks alot more promising, up until now all the media I had seen looked very Q2 industrial indoors like and not to nice. Shaping up well but.

I have been playing TFC for about 6 years now, and to be honest the cornfield map is not what TFC is all about, we need futuristic arenas with strange shapes everywhere, not a CS map where u have to save some hostages from a farm...

 

[nutcrackr]

Ugh they made cornfield LOL
Not one of my favourite maps I must say, and why does it look like it's in HL2 world? Civi looks ok I guess, bit of a ponce.

Well looks good, is that fog or water? Rest looks good, how many maps are planned for release?

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Horaay, this project isn't dead.

 

[DelaZ]

Me likes

 

[Betelgeuze]

[TarX]

Looking good.

I think a lot of people would disagree with that given how popular cornfield was for TFC. TF = whatever you want it to be, that's the beauty of it -- there's something for everyone.

 

[CptStern]

the screens look more like HL than HL2. the characters especially

 

[Asuka]

Looking very good. Cant wait for this.

 

[puppy19]

you're crazy.

this look like hl1? i think not.

[CptStern]

more detail but still looks like hl to me ...mostly the characters. Look at churchill or even the sniper model

 

[PhAtfiSh]

Looking good to me, if you want something fancy à la CS:Source wait for Valve to release TF2. FF will be for the old school (well make not that old school) TFC players.

Cornfield does look a bit crap and the Citadel reference really shouldn't be there (it looks out of place), some of the architecture on Well looks a bit over done (the ramp room doorway).

But overall its looking great, i cant wait for the first public beta, and maybe doing some maps for it myself

 

[Mescalito]

CptStern@ maybe you should get new glasses? they are cheaper then new brains..

 

[Sui]

It looks nothing like HL, Stern

 

[CptStern]

I think it does


the head is too big, legs are too short, the torso is too short, the crotch is too low, the waist is too high up

 

[Mescalito]

here's a better one

it's from FF BTW.

 

[Ghroth]

i felt the same way about cornfield at first...

...but after i ran through the map, i can say that Zouave is more thoughtfull towards his design than you give him credit for

cornfield will be a brutal map that looks great...nuff said :imu:

 

[Dodo]

roflcopter! i love the fat guy !

-dodo

 

[Salamandra]

I think it does


the head is too big, legs are too short, the torso is too short, the crotch is too low, the waist is too high up

How the proportions are has nothing to do with if the model looks like it's from HL1 or HL2. It's still a high quality model.

 

[CptStern]

yes it does, ..TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE HL ..are you me? no, so shut up already sheesh

 

[Mescalito]

lol stubborn F@#$

 

[kaf11]

Sir Winston Churchill rocks.

 

[jet jaguar]

I can't wait to play this mod. I agree with the sentiment that they shouldn't make the levels look anything remotely like Half-Life 2. TFC has a style of it's own and it should stay that way...with better polycounts, improved textures, and physics.

 

[Captain M4d]

Well looks pretty cool. lol at the civilian. I like it, though.

 

[Dospac]

Can't we pay homage to Valve and HL2? It's a truibute, as is the civ model to Sir Churchill. :naughty:

 

[trepid_jon]

TFC has a style of it's own and it should stay that way...with better polycounts, improved textures, and physics.

The thing is, TFC didn't have any specific style. It was total anarchy when it came to the different styles TFC mappers would go with. Not only with the look of the maps, but with the gameplay as well; you could do whatever you wanted.

And that kind of variety is what we plan to achieve with the Fortress Forever maps.

 

[Cruor]

yes it does, ..TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE HL ..are you me? no, so shut up already sheesh

That is sort of the point I reckon, TFC has allways been a little cartoonish, thus the proportions that the characters have. To make a TFC remake (upgrade) realistic would have been blasphemy.

 

[GotGoose]

I better be able to conc jump in FF.
