    Well I'd more then love to preach my mantra about 'Games based on old wars are retarded stop making them' this at least sounds somewhat unique.

    However, I can almost guarentee that gameplay will die. It'll come down to say, one guy going 'over the top', bunnyhopping mady along the edge of the battlefield, into your trench, and use every cheap tactic he can and kill 6 of you all by himself.

    You reviewed the mod's leader?

    I'm curious yet at the same time, I feel sorry for him.

    I hope for his self esteem's sake you gave him high marks. :P

    Look awesome, the focus could be on surviving and skilled perception (aiming) more then ramboing like other WW FPS' currently out.

    The WW FPS I'm going to start playing a ton is Red Orchestra for the UT2004 engine... it looks incredible.

    I'm as fast as a cheetah.. No, <i>faster</i> than a cheetah. Faster than a speeding bullet! By the way, I'm going to war.

    Mel Gibson: Hey buddy.

    Blondie: Hey.

    *Gallipoli*

    Officer: Blondie, take this message, you're the fastest guy from here to seven feet left of us.

    Blondie: Okay.

    Mel Gibson: <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Blondie: Oh, let mel gibson take it.

    Mel Gibson: Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's SuperWallace!

    Officer: It's time to run at the enemy MG's, screaming.

    Brass: Wait, maybe this isn't such a good idea. Oh well, more tea!

    Mel Gibson: Wait! Wait! You're not supposed to blow the whistle, we're in the clear!

    Officer: *blows whistle*

    Blondie: Look how fast I can run!

    Audience: Can you run faster than a speeding bullet?

    Blondie: Probably not, especially seeing how I'm actually running <i>at</i> the bullets.

    Blondie: *gets hit by bullet* Ow.

    Director: Freeze frame... Now! That's a wrap.

    Eediot: Okay, now to ruin the plot and ending of another film.

    Uhhh....ehhh....

    *head explodes*

    Hey, Fabio needs a part in the movie!
  • RyoOhkiRyoOhki Join Date: 2003-01-26 Member: 12789Members
    Was that movie "Gallipoli"? 'Cause I've seen it but I don't recall Mel Gibson in it.

    The irony is that the officer who ordered the final attack portrayed in the movie was actually Australian, not British.

    And I'm just not sure what it is about WWI. I really can't put my finger on it; I can read up on Nazi concentration camps and jungle nightmares in Vietnam without batting an eyelid, but I go to peices trying to study WWI.

    Referring to the original topic, I hope the sniper class isnt *too* special. From memory of my history work, weren't 'snipers' just good marksmen who would go around individually, hide themselves, and pick off enemy soldiers?

    Edit: I mean, they didn't have special weapons most of the time, just normal rifles, but they were a good shot with them...

    With Half-Life 2 coming so soon, I feel it's a little late in the day for the creation of full-blown Half-Life mods.

    The "sniperish" class is quite limited, <a href='http://thetrenches.net/' target='_blank'>http://thetrenches.net/</a> is the website, and I have seen screenshots of the current build, and the teamwork demonstrated there is nothing like you guys mention, infact it's really concentrated on teamplay, except with reinforcement times, trust me, you won't be bunny hopping past trenches and getting shot, in fact most times you shouldn't be getting out of the trench anyway <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->
