Firearms: Source January Media Update

Postby ad_hominem on Mon Jan 19, 2009 8:14 pm

The Firearms: Source team have pushed out another good looking update for their mod, including a complete overhaul of their website. Contained within the fresh design are some new weapons and maps that had yet to be released. However, that's not all they've got for us to look at:

Before I begin, we really do need weapon animators and skinners. The one piece of Firearms that is truly keeping us back from a timely release is artwork. Even though our current team is working hard on churning out the remaining content, it's just plain slow going. Do you want to help? If so, shoot me an email.

With that said, I'd like to introduce DysPatch's latest creation: The Source-engine conversion of ps_sandblast. But instead of being yet another boring desert map set in the Middle East, he's taken great pains to turn the dust and grit into a beautful, war-ravaged winter landscape. As a result of the change in scenery, we've renamed the map ps_snowstorm.

To see the rest of the update, enquire about helping out, and check out their new website, head on over.

This looks like it's going to be an interesting mod.
Keep it up.

I don't know much about the mods gameplay, but it looks nice. All the screenshots make it look like Counter-Strike, the weapon and players styles look very similar.

Any comments on the map? It's by one of your own 'lopers, and I am interested in what you think about it.

Here are some more screens:

I haven't been able to post screens here seeing as I have to wait for News Posts to present my work, but please let me know your honest opinion of the map.

is that because of the snow? or do you feel that there is a lack of props or what?

I like the map, but the color scheme feels like it's lacking. Perhaps making key parts of the map contrast with it's surroundings would add more interesting detail, along with helping beginners learn the game.
