Guaranteed hot and at your door in half an
hour, or your money back - ds
I declare today, OpFor News Day! Seriously, more OpFor stuff for y'all to digest: GameFan has posted 25 brand spankin' OpFor shots for your viewing pleasure. <whine mode>Why can't I have a copy to play yet?</whine mode>
|
I feel like Jan Brady sometimes. Lately, it's been "OpFor, OpFor, OpForrrrrr!" Anywho, seems that good ole PC.IGN has posted a ripe preview of OpFor, replete with screenshots. IMNSHO, the screenies don't reveal much, but what can you ask for for a free web site, eh?
|
For those of you familiar with Geoff Keighly's Gameslice, you know about the Gist List. This week's Gist List gives a "check" to OpFor. Plus, good old Geoff gives the following nice touch to the post:
If the press demo of Half Life: Opposing Force
is any indication of what we can expect in the full
retail version of the game, I've got five words for
you: Expansion Pack of the Year.
As two sagely fictional South Californians would be wont to say in just such a situation: "ehhhxcellent!"

For those of you who don't know ... I do a little mapping. It is safe to say I am fairly experienced. But I need a little help at my not so little mapping project. I need 2 mappers and 1 voice actor (must be an experienced Sound Artist). One mapper needs to be good with camera views (He needs to do the opening and ending maps, since they will have camera sequences) and the other should just be good at making normal SP HL levels. The voice actor has to be male and the closer your voice sounds to the HL Marines the better (if you can record your voice then alter it to sounds like the HL Marines then that's even better) I will be getting a web page up soon all about it. I don't want to release to much info. since if I don't get the needed help I will fold it. Email me if you are interested. BTW the name of it is called the Guthrie files. If you look around the begining of HL and listen you might be able to get a little info on Sgt. Robert Guthrie ...

A new TFC clan has opened up, ya ya, these are almost all the same message, and I don't like posting clan news, but, this is an all girl clan, they can have special treatment cause they aren't as big jerks as us fellas =) Clan |GRRL| is just starting up, so if your a genuine girl, and looking for a good clan to join, check out their webpage. Or if interested, contact |GRRL|MzErica directly.

What exactly is a T1 anyways?
Attention all server admins - If you would like to get more involved in the Half-Life server admin scene and share your knowledge with other admins, Command Center is looking for additional help at the site. Check out the Command Center News for additional information and contact Geronimo if interested. See Daryl I DID END the dumb blockquote
|
If you haven't guessed yet, the subject means "Yet Another Opposing Force Preview". Gamers' Central has become a part of the hype and posted a preview of OpFor in the wake of FRAG3. Dig it.

'Twould seem that good Master Pitchford (Randy P. to those who are on the dl...) has updated his .plan regarding this past weekend's Frag3 dealie in Dallas. A word to the Gearbox Faithful:
In any case, it won't be long now before the completed game is in your
hands. Half-Life: Opposing Force is coming!
Pretty please let it go gold today...!
|
Very cool stuff. It seems that Avault has posted a nice little Q&A with Randy P n' team at the FRAG3 event in Dallas. Check a bit of the sauce:
How many hours of gameplay are involved?
Playing from start to finish for someone who knows the game in and out, it usually takes
somewhere around five to eight hours to complete. For those first playing the game, we
predict 15 hours or more.
When will the game be available?
We finished up Release Candidate 4 this evening. We plan to test the new build
intensively this weekend, and the game should go gold Monday or Tuesday. We expect
the game to be in stores by Thanksgiving.

Hey hey! Happy Hallowe'en!!! I made this little graphic for you all to gawk at...  Thanks to 12PackAttack for the group photo, and the Clone brush to make them all headless, just to keep in the spirit of Hallowe'en, and yes, that's how I spell Hallowe'en! Now go dress up as a spy and terrorize your neighbours!

Half-Life Express has posted a brief Q&A with some o' the Valve staff regarding TF2. Dig a quote:
3) Is the pyro's flames more realistic? Maybe like kingpin's fire? (Could you send a
screenshot if you have one?)
We're working on a fully volumetric flamethrower, so the fire fills volumes correctly. This will
allow you to fire into small areas, like bunkers, and roast everyone inside.

I can't think of anything cool or funny to say =-( The Oxygen Tank has just released a strategy guide for Counter-Strike, the most popular user-made mod for Half-Life. The guide covers weapon categories, items, necessary teamplay tactics, and map specific
strategies for four common Counter-Strike maps: Mansion, Facility, Assault, and Siege.
|
The Jumbot is cool, that's all I am going to say
Just letting you know I've finally got around to updating the Jumbot Launcher. Version 0.5 is available for download here
|
Oh yeah Happy Halloween. If you are like me you love candy so you love Halloween The Lambda Arena mod is looking

Linux, thereby help making more people set up servers. If you're interested,
