International Online Soccer (that's football to you UK chaps) Source has just released their first beta version. Beta 1.0 is available from various mirrors on their website.[br]

Where the hell did this come from?!

The HL1 version was pretty cool.

Just downloaded.

I prefer releases like this: development announcement > quiet work time > release out of nowhere. No hype, no broken hearts, no empty promises.

I don't like soccer, or even sports for that matter, but I second 6Three's sentiments. I think I might give it a spin just because of that.

 

[Intamin]

Any thoughts on it yet?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Wow...unexpected. I'm a big fan of football games I play Pro Evo religiously so I'll try this out, downloading now.

 

[Nabobalis]

Downloading now. I played the original was a bit rough will see how this works out.

Agreed. I caught this at PlanetHalfLife today, not sure if it's been posted here yet or not.

It's not bad for an initial release. I'd like to see more mods release a working beta as a work in progress, and let the game grow from there. Staring at renders year after year doesn't mean much to me anymore.

Feels extremely similar to the original version, just much shinier. Anfield looks great I must say, the players could do with some work though. Plays a little juddery, with some craziness. Definitely a steep learning curve, very difficult to put together passing moves or shoot accurately. Some people I played with seemed exceptionally good. Not bad for beta, shows promise but for now I'm not going to rush back to it

wait... isn't there already a few servers on cs:s that have this kind of thing? How is this different?

I just played on a soccer server a few weeks ago.

That mod looks cool as hell, I'm checking it out.

Played the mod for a bit online and I have to say its actually kinda fun.

 

[Pesmerga]

Have to say it was quite enjoyable. I just got done scoring on my own team, making about 14 fouls, and about 100 passes. I just love to pass.

In any case, the math behind the mod is quite sound. I felt things worked as they should have, and the overall game seemed quite balanced. The art isn't anything to talk about other than that it servers its purpose- although there was a constant in and out bloom effect caused by a buggy HDR.

The game itself was fun, even when I was sucking terribly. Of course, the fundamental problem of all games is the players themselves, especially when it's a team game. No one stuck to their positions, instead they flocked to the ball like pigeons to a piece of bread someone tossed out on the beach. The slide tackle seems to do nothing, but I may be wrong. Everything else works and for a first release, it's extremely decent.

 

[Pulse]

Very glitchy mod, I managed to some how glitch the throw-in animation so that I could move around the field and of course players would bounce off of me due to the 'force-field' to keep them at a distance... easiest goal yet

Pretty fun though, wouldn't say it had infinite replay value as of yet.

glitchy physics at times but thats ok for an early beta... I did see one of my team mates run for the bull and jump in a way that he landed on directly the ball which seemed to rebound him about 40 feet in the air...

I loved this for HL1. I only just got the email from them today.

There was nothing better than using that HL wav player thingy when you scored.
