Oh no! the mapmaker forgot to make the parts destructables!
Meh, RF was a shoddy game, in the end. with all the hype it got it just didn't compare.

airyK · July 2003

No, Flayra and the dev team have no intentions to move ns to any other engine. The reason its on the half life engine is because of the amount of people that already have and play other mods on it. -- so whats the count now, 100 seperate threads on moving ns to a different engine? lol. i think it would be cool to move NS to the half life 2 engine, but only time will tell..

Iced_Eagle · July 2003

lets put it this way.... if NS doesnt go to Source engine........ then ill be forced to go to the moon and make NS for HL2 there... and taht would be cool to tunnel to the hive but think about those times when there is only 1 person left.... o man you would spend hours looking for him if he hid in the right spot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

no offence... but can you read?

he stated that it wasnt a plea to change or anything like that....

Iced_Eagle · July 2003

halo does do good with vehicles but so does HL2.... and with that the dev team can get closer to their goal of having Drop Ships in NS..... or so the interview said w/ Flayra about the future of NS

Stakhanov · July 2003

Any engine with ragdoll physics... just imagine the marines being charged by Onos fly on walls and bounce around...

I would love to see ns on doom3, with all the darkness. Would greatly add to the atmosphear. I don't know if it will be the same on hl2. But I can picture an onos just standing there, and u can only see his head because thats all that the light is shining on. Mwuahaha

just lower your gamma to where it should have been anyways, n00b <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

in all seriousness, it's pretty dark if you play it normal. I think you mean the shadows&such, since I don't think HL can handle that.

If it were on Doom 3 I might just soil myself when a skulk pops up from a floor grate and mauls me out of no where.

Not just the darkness but the shadow and light effects as well as a cool looking engine.

Insane · July 2003

The darkness and atmosphere doesn't usually depend on what engine it's on, guys. It could easily be more atmospheric on Source than on Doom 3, and it could be easily vice versa. It's the content that the mod team creates that makes it dark and gloomy or well lit and unintimidating.

But the better the effects are the better the atmosphere is, but with Source and Doom3 your pretty much correct. But I think It would be going a little far to say HL can have better atmosphere than such a far superior engine such as source or doom3 based on how much work was put into it. Atmosphere just isn't some engine's thing.

<offtopic rant>

Argh, what the f3ck is the point of these posts? Every other topic gets smarta$$ remarks or facts explained to the original posters that - HELLO - EVERYONE KNOWS ALREADY. And most of these have this irritating "Flayra this" and "Flayra that" and "Flayra said" tone. The most pointless ones are posts like these where the person replying has probably only read the thread topic and, as seen in this case, not even that too well.

People jump at anything, IMHO, just to get a chance to get all smart about something. And way too early/easily, I might add.

</offtopic rant>

Cheez1 · July 2003

Welly you see karrin, some people think a high post count makes you so uber-"elite" that they reply to anything they can, be it meaningfull or not.

Also just to be on topic, i honestly think HL is fine for NS. I'd take a player base of tens of thousands over flashy graphics anyday, and apparently so would a lot of people, hence why HL is still alive and well.

lyndak · July 2003

Indeed.

Blu3beret · July 2003

Kinda off topic, but has anyone released a decent mod for Red Faction? This engine has soo much potential, but i havent saw many people use it besides THQ.

Well anyways, I would have liked to see Natural Selection on the Quake 3 engine; why quake 3 you ask? because its the best my shoddy computer can handle <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> .

Maveric · July 2003

HL2 all the way.

with the ability to modify the terrain (to perhaps a greater extent than red faction) you could, instead of opening the door normally, WELD IT OPEN LIKE YOU SHOULD.

really, in a interview i read you could either use the gravity gun to knock down the door, use a flame thrower to burn it away (if its wood) use a grenade to blow it up or open it normally. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> there's also things like drapes and stuff that when you walk into them they move and such like walking into a real drape would. (there's even <i>dust</i> in the levels that are specified by the mapper... no more using entities with fade textures to simulate light beams i think. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> )

also a single-player mode would be possible since the HL2 AI is designed to figure out how best to help/hurt you. (no more running blindly into that auto-turret! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> ) ntm it handles outside areas nicely this time. ([you can be outside in a street, and get fair FPS from your machine. try that in HL and you die])

besides, im sure HL2 will completly stomp the HL mod scene 1.5 years after release. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

what about a Massively multiplayer FPS RTS NS?
