I just looked a the licensing and you could put adverts in the site / game or even charge for it from the looks of things. You just have to pay $99 and then pay royalties to epic?

Or did I read that completely wrong?

Anyone see Forge World? It looks freaking AWESOME! I mean, forge felt kinda rushed before but now they've added grid snapping, physics types, HUGE map area and model skins... I can't wait.

I've kinda become a pc gamer since a few months ago but this is something that will probably bring me back to the xbox, at least for a while.

For those who haven't seen:

DONT GO OUT TONIGHT!
Baby Can't you see?
What's hap'nin to you?

DONT GO OUT TONIGHT
Baby can't you see what is happening?

Just played through the Hard Rain campaign. Last two chapters were of pure excellence.


I came.
Discuss.

I've got 7 left for now, I'm sure the people who wanted it bad enough have it but if you guys want any then just say and uncle tiden will hook ya' up? ;D

[CLEAR.]

CLEAR.
Did everybody die? 3 day silences are full of suck.

Can we start making maps already? Is there actually anything we have to take into account while building or will we just be able to add things like anti-grab volumes later on? Players the same dimensions and all?

Looks like they listened. This game looks INCREDIBLE. The fact you can choose the type of stealth and sam actually moves like a DA:MP Spy. Shitzus, looks immense.

Anyone see xbox's 3d cam stuff? Amazing.

Anyone seen the video on the Xbox Spotlight? It looks soo good!

I'm glad you're a prototype big daddy and can still be agile and sneaky, the thought of being the massive ones isn't all that appealing. :)

I HAS IT! :D

MY HEART WAS BEATIN' SO HARD I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE.

Soo, after nearly being brought to tears on Blood Harvest's finale, I FINALLY did it! All my team-mates got absolutely smashed by the tank, and instead of being the good ol' friend to the guys I jumped straight into the back of the truck and left 'em all behind! ;D

Hopefully someone will understand what i'm talking about.

That is all.

Now it's 4am and I must leave thee.

</random tired post>

[Clear!]

Clear!

Forum revived. Two day silence? Srsly? :)

I was gonna put this in the other Bioshock thing but anyways...



Bioshock 2 trailers just released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4




Cannot wait!

...and not a single achievement to show for it.

God bless computer gaming.**
;D

That is all.

**I use the phrase 'god bless', oh-so very loosely

Okay, so you've handled my other two pretty well so I think you deserve another go! My graphics card has a DVI, VGA and a HDMI port for displays, but my tower also has its own VGA port (it was covered with a black tab when I got it). Now, I've got a few displays lying around the home but they all use VGA, i'm using the one of the graphics card and when I plug one into the tower it, as I expected, wasn't detected. Is it simply impossible to use it because it's not on my display, is there a fix or am I stuck buying a VGA-DVI adaptor? Because if it's the latter I might as well buy a matching 19" to go with my current.

On my new pc, I looked inside it (actually did that before I switched it on being the geek I am :P ) and saw it had only 1 HD so I was surprised when I saw the extra partition when it booted with 300GB free space and 0b taken... I've started installing all my games in there and CS3 but i'm just wondering if that's what it's for or i'm overwriting some kind of important partition? It's called Data (D:/).

Any takers?

OK, so aside from the presents I ask for each year my dad also goes out and gets me and my brother a "surpise" present. This year he went all out and got me a gaming pc which, according to "Can I run it?", can play most games at reccommended settings. So tommorow when the shops are back open i'm gonna go out an buy some new games for the pc. I'm not really a hardcore fan of any specific genre so i'll play most stuff, but what do you reccommend as an absolute _must_ have?

[What does it stand for?]

This is a renewed version of the PD idea I had a while ago, quite a few people said the PD was a good concept but, as usual by ubi, executed poorly. This comes in the form of a VISION instead and i've rebalanced it. Don't be too harsh because it's not somthing CT had and was in the game which soiled SC's good name. Read with an open mind! :P

Split into Q&A's for your ease of reading ;)


What does it stand for?
CRD Vision stands for Close Range Disruptance Vision

What does it do?
When CRD is flipped on the vision will overlay purple, just like any other vision. When any movement is detected nearby a shock is sent through the waves which pass across the vision. The faster the movement the more disturbance is caused. It can detect a spy moving much more effectively than the sound sensor as it has a slightly higher range and can detect a spy moving slower than the SD.

How does the spy know this vision is on?
The merc visor will turn purple and a high pitched (but pulsating so the user doesn't think the sound is broken) sound is emitted. This can be heard from outside the detection range of the vision.

What will count as movement?

• A Spy moving/falling
• A team-mate moving/falling
• A door opening
• Grenade, flares and other projectiles
• A spy pulling out a weapon (easy to mistake for other low level disturbances like a door).

Cons?
For starters, the sound it makes will mean spies will almost immediately know you are near, making this vision one for tracking spies general areas instead of chasing them down because they could just stop moving. Also, it picks up allot of excess disturbance such as doors, which will could be misinterpreted as spy movement. The merc is, for the most-part, blinded while using the vision and cannot have a torch on or another vision. The vision cannot be used while moving because the vision relays disturbance and not sound meaning that anything moving nearby, including yourself will set the thing off.

Why not just use the SD?
Firstly, the sound detector has a weaker radius and isn't as sensitive. CRD can pick up thing which usually do not make sound, such as a spy pulling out his gun or falling because it detects disturbances in the atmosphere around you.

What does it look like?
No disturbance detected

Low disturbance detected

High/Medium disturbance


So kind of like the Proxy Detector from DA?
Yup. Quite a few people liked the proxy from DA, and not just utter noobs. The idea itself was good, but the fact that turning it on had no disadvantages to the merc and only detected a spy made it too overpowered and ruined the fun of the hunt. CRD makes up for this by not giving any clear indication to distance (like DA's 3-ring system) or direction, the distubance in the air could be anything from an explosion to a door. It also keeps the PD's con of emitting a sound.

Discuss. If you're going to critic it just because it's somewhat related to the PD from DA then take it elsewhere.

;)

GO GO GO.  ;D

(Yes, we've done this before for fun but i'm bored)

e.g Kebab productions or Kebab in a Frvge. ;P

And not only that. Her arguments are pathetic, she's even resorted to pointing out misuse of phrases to distract from the real subject. Go to the SCC forums and check it out ^_^,
I was going to post that there but I get the feeling i'd be banned.

OK, I haven't played CT in ages now so bear with me here. I know that falling spies hurt mercs if the spies were concious, but did the spies have any effect if they had just been beserked off an edge or shot down from a rail?
Again, this may already be in CT but i'm just double checking because it would certainly be a nice-to-have feature :)
