FIREARMS SOURCE! It'ssss Baaaaack

Recommended Posts

Some people here might remember the mod for HL1... many won't. It was a game that pretty much ended "dumb and gun" fps shooters for me.

Apparently they just went full release and are still balancing things, but when they work out the bugs it'll kick COD/MOH multi player's ass. For a free mod it can't be beat, although it still can't hold a candle to the ARMAverse.

I still remember way back when on the firearms forums, we all talked about a new game coming out called....OFP :) The discussions about the OPF demo alone were pages upon pages.

I wonder which team this is. Firearms has a really troubled development history. I think the original team was frustrated by someone that basically stole their name and started developing a parallel mod that was very much the same as the original. The Firearms team got no help from valve (which I think was grooming them in the same way that counterstrike and dod was groomed), so they sort of fragmented. They were working on a number of different things, and slowly plugging away at Firearms. I think one of the competing developments was called Firearms 2, I forget which is which though.

wikipedia knows :p

Oh yeah! I remember Firearms. Awesome! Will definitely give it a shot. Cool beans :D And here I thought I was the only one who'd ever played that!

Been playing for a few hours these past few days, and while it's a decent start, they have a long way to go to live up to the original goodness of FA in HL1. Perhaps they should start with the sound... oh god is it awful. And people complain about ArmA 2's sounds... FPDR

Still, the potential is there and it's already pretty fun.

Sweetness! Not really in to the twitchfps genre, but I remember loving Firearms back in the day - I think I was among the top ten ranked with the FAMAS for atleast six months :yay:
