waiting in line,i pray for a decent uk/europe server
 
Sweet, cant wait to play. Looks like a Hl2 WOLF:et type game.
 
does anyone know how to change the mirrors at file cloud,i heard you could do it even if they dont show a list of available 1s?im on the washington dc 1 at the mo
 
thank god it started even though i was still 100 places in the queue,hopefully the pariah demo will finish downloading soon
 
My opinions based on playing on a server on my tod:

The map needs work (obviously, as it's a beta), the proportions of objects (such as counters, doors) is way out, you feel quite small. There is HL2 geometry in the map, which looks out of place because it's well made, and the map isn't as good quality.

HL2 and CS sounds (dunno if they will change them, maybe placeholders), deagle sounds pretty cool.

The hand model looks strange, the thumb doesn't sit right when holding a gun

The weapon models seem alright, have a hint of postal 2 about them.....

I don't know if the title of the map is meant to be ironic, because it's quite dark.

Yes, I know it's a beta, but it needs a lot of work (in my eyes)

I'll give my opinion on gameplay when I try it (there are plenty of servers by the way).
 
the recall on the weapons is crazy, really hard to shot, plus when you look at the map you can see where the ennemies are.... bug. reminds me of rainbow six a little, didnt have time to test all the guns, but I recon (even tho I didnt like it) this mod will do very well.
 
TORRENT

Seems quite fun. There's a bunch of 32 player server you really should try joining. ;)
 
Downloading for a laugh. Ho ho ho...


Anyway yeah, while I am here I suggest you lot download the zombie mod for HL2. Its pretty fun actually.... Just a bit of random info for ya :)

Which mod is this?
 
It's pretty good, although lags a lot (regardless of ping, suggesting dodgy netcode) but shows potential anyway.
 
Yeah, it wasn't too bad. not exactly fantastic though..

I'll check it out again a couple of updates down the line I reckon
 
just played it,quite enjoyable if it wasnt for the laggers,needs a bit of texture work tbh and the weapon sounds weren't the best but it was fun,kinda buggy,people stuck on stuff and when spectating every player shows up as 1 player,when you switch between them i mean,its just the same name,there were a few good gunfights particurly outside the restaurant,i was a american soldier and the coalition had us pinned down on our end of da street while we had them pinned down on theirs,recoil is a bit much at times

lots of servers too although only 4 or 5 were under 100 ping
 
would be nice to try, but im not going to register at any of those hosts, and im not going to wait 1 hour to dl 80 mb
:angry: :angry:

maybe get some real hosting for the mod in the US that dosnt require you to register just to dl
 
Downloading.

I'm excited as this seems to be the largest mod release so far.
 
MmMmMmmm... torrents are so fast when they're not overloaded :)

So what's the focus of this mod? Is it like slower movement tactical, or is it lame run around blasting around corners like CS/DoD?

slow paced,people tend to stick together very well,probably dont want to get lost,1 flaw is that enemy positions show up in realtime on your map so you can always know where they are
 
-Slower movement tactical, a lot slower then css and thats what I like about it.

-Weapons could use some work, not only the sound but also the textures and animations but I love them.

-The map is very good, good for tactics but it also could use some minor updates.

-HUD and menus and player models are perfect! Gameplay is very good, its seartenly not a css cloon!

-Pro site and release, easy installer and a lot of servers.

Grahics: 7/10
Sound: 6/10
Gameplay 8/10

I thought this at first too, but it is only for the Coin Toss round that decides who defends and who attacks. Everytime after that round you couldn't see the enemy on the radar.

I liked it, it was a nice take on a counterstrike theme using refreshing ideas. Hopefully they will get the damage tweaked a bit and the map steamlined a bit more. I loved the custom textures, even if they aren't the prettiest. At least they are a change from the HL2 post-invasion look.
 
does it have auto-respawn like in dod or does it have rounds like css?
 
Tactical? Not from what I experienced, but we probably have different definitions of 'tactical.'

It is pretty good for a first release. It's stable which is the main thing. Gameplay is good once you get used to it.

Could perhaps have included a second map. I'm an advocate for mods using their own custom content (textures, models, animations, sounds, etc.) as much as possible, but it seems there is very little of their own textures and none of their own sounds from what I heard. However, that can be overlooked considering how quickly their release came.

I wouldn't consider this as a 'total conversion' in the sense of fresh content, but it is more than just a mod of HL2. Has a lot of potential and time to improve.

azlan eh?didnt know about you,hello ;) ,is your name to do with the band?
 
I thought the mod was alot of fun. Great mod for such quick release. Sure it wasn´t the best graphics, sounds etc but gameplay was lots of fun.
Great work and I´m looking forward to see where this mod is headed !
 
pretty fun i must say. Sounds need a LOT of work. and a more intuitive explanation of whats happening. i spent the first 10 minutes trying to figure out what i was supposed to be doing. all in all a job well done. now to get CW:MP going :)
 
I can see this mod going somewhere, but it needs alot of work. :)
 
I got this error when I tried to "create a server" from the menu option

well i finaly got to dl it and installed it
first impression isn't very good
could not start a listen server, it crashed when selecting team
joined sever worked first try
sniper rifle bounces everwhere when aiming not stable and quite annoying
lighting makes the game too dark
couldnt join server, locked on spawn to the point that i had to reset my computer
uninstalled
not worth it
:cheers:
 
As a CS player of over 4 years I have to say, it's almost CS. Sure they've added a few innovative features but unless they steer clear of the Counter-Strike frame of mind, I won't be playing it :\
