N.o.R.S.u

ROFLMAO (I hardly ever use that "word" ) that first Hl2 video was so damn funny, heh even the crowd laughed . I hope there will be lots of places where you can use physics against your enemies. And the best of all, you can still make all maps in WorldCraft (or Hammer editor as it's now), no need to learn using fancy new editors . Can't wait for that game.

Looks like you have to register to IGN to download something , well anyway here's additional link to Doom3 trailer. *edit* Well d'oh the link is down

The "orange beta" that has working doors has waaay too many polys, around 6000 . I would like to see that greenish Mi-26 updated with BAS' scripts and with easier handling.

I know there's always fighting in Chechnya, but with full scale war I ment heavy bombardments, tank assaults etc. And sadly you're right about the news coverage from Chechnya. There's probably several reasons for that though, too dangereous to go in and report something, they are not allowed, lack of interest and so on...

Probably older, just compare their faces, voice & behaving.

Well this has been discussed many times shortly after Resistance was released. And the answer is that those effects are just edited to screenshot .

I would really like to see one universal USE key. For example in Deus Ex you had this one key and you could select different objects, use buttons etc. with it (a box appeared around the "target"). So when you want to get in tank as gunner, you would just need to use gunner's hatch to do this. Same would go for cars, choppers, planes, doors etc. Of course there should be that reticle thingy to tell player which object is selected, just like in Deus Ex. /edit\ some typos

Well yes that's ingame, demonstrating the "orange level". It means testing level without any proper textures but with all triggers, monsters etc.

Well the online previews have begun , http://www.planethalflife.com/half-life2/

Sniff... so beautiful

Yes sometimes teamwork is there but usually not , depends quite a lot of the server. Yesterday I was trying the new DoD, map was dod_chemille and I used MP-44. I had another MP-44 soldier moving next to me and we captured almost the whole map together , just pushing forward all the time and gunning down about 15 Allies on our way . It was almost fully a CQB map so MP-44 worked really good. I wish I had it recorded .

BIS' BRDM is command versio, so it looks a bit different than the one with turret... But yes a version with BIS' textures would be awesome .

Looking great. Though that sniper could have more of those bushes around him, not just on his back . And a Dragunov with some camo on it like in TOW's M21 pack would be nice.

Thanks for the icon , now I can replace the DoD icon I used . Some generals with those long greatcoats for Germans would be great (I own a greatcoat and they are damn kewl ).

I made new rescaled & textured BMPs for FDF mod, they are in Finnish camo scheme. I will probably release them in basic BIS colours soon, depends of course have much time I have...

I have the Tiger problem also, I'm sure all have it, Tiger was just an extra that was a bit rushed (well quite a lot actually). Though I don't have any other of those bugs you posted.

Scripts are in mission named SiegePrizzi, you can get it from here. And here's how to use the scripts: 1. Copy the scripts to your mission folder 2. Give name to both gunner and asst. gunner, for example 30calgunner and 30calasst 3. Create two triggers. Into first trigger's condition line put alive 30calgunner and to activation line [30calgunner] exec "deploy_30calUnit.sqs" 4. And to second trigger put alive 30calasst to condition line and [30calasst] exec "deploy_30calTripodUnit.sqs" to activation line This how it works for me (tested in multiplayer also). And if you want to use MG-42, just use mg42 in triggers rather than 30cal, example: [mg42gunner] exec "deploy_mg42Unit.sqs"

To make it realistic the soldiers sitting on the armor will only be alble to do so when the commander and driver are in the turned out position as the turret is fixed in all axis. If the crew TURNS IN it will automatically throw off the passangers. Also if the tank is targeted by any threat the same will happen.<span id='postcolor'> A bit stupid question but, will the soldiers sitting on the tank immediately eject if the crew turns in? That would be quite fatal if the tank is moving .

Looking great, how about making a static DShK also .
