City Decedere Level 1 - Happening file

Good work guys. :D This mod needs more love XD.

I almost downloaded this the other day. Good thing I didn't, because I didn't realize this was a Crysis mod - Crysis being a game I don't have. Interested in seeing this come along, though.

Going to check this out now, i'm in need of some good horror.

Unfortunately I didn't get good horror :(

Ok, I just wrote up a nice big post explaining my thoughts on this but it seems I can't exceed 2000 characters ...urgh.

Overall, I thought this was downright annoying and the only horror I got out of this was the screaming, but that wasn't due to being disturbed by the screams or scared by them, it was purely because I was ANNOYED by the screams, I hate screams, just like everyone does, and when it's constant, you just want to shut the source of the screaming up, it's bloody annoying.

Too many monsters made it too predictable, and the fear factor was gone immediately, the sound quality was terrible, surround sound wasn't working too well with anything, and no it's not my speakers, it's just the mod, as surround sound works just fine in other crysis mods.

The voice acting was pretty good, it was natural, but something didn't feel right about it, like the voice didn't match the scene very well.

Overall, I was not immersed, everything about this was BAD IMO, and nothing about it was scary.

I also didn't like that we had to start the map by going to the console, and that we actually had to run the bat file rather than activating the mod, it's too much effort for the end user to play the demo. When people want to play a mod, they just want to whack the mod in the folder, go into the game, activate it, and play, not run a seperate bat file, select 32 or 64 bit, then have a whole bunch of annoying real time rendering information in the top right of the screen which they may not know how to get rid of and then finally have to type into the console.

One more thing was the readme should be in the main section of your zip file, not hidden away in the mod folder, I didn't know the readme was there until I looked back on this page.

Anyway, this needs a HEAP of work, as I said, I wrote a whole bunch before, with criticism, and suggestions, however I can't be bothered now as all that text wasn't allowed.

I should apologize for being a bit rude with my previous comment as I didn't add much to what you could do to improve the mod.
I think I was just very disappointed and frustrated.

I'll TRY and sum up some points.
With the ghosts, there are alot of them, which is fine, but not with the amount of damage they take.
To make this better, you could have 2 classes of ghosts, 1 which don't try to hurt you, but appear and disappear around you while coming at you, the other class would actually attack, so whilst their movements and so on are the same, the player has to be alert to watch out for the ones that will actually attack, so while the presence of the ghosts are constant while they are around, the player doesn't know when he will be endangered by them.
Of course instead of 2 classes, you could just make the 1 class, and give them an attack chance, like a random value which determines if they attack or just pester you (much less predictable).

You should also make ghosts into 1 shot kills or something, because i've had to shoot like mad to kill those ghosts, only to see them get back up lol, if you have more ghosts that die in 1 shot and turn into a cloud of fog when they're killed, it could add to the atmosphere and immersion.

I'll PM you with the rest, it seems even by covering 2 features I exceed the 2000 limit :P

this mod is mod there with bioshock and dead space, freakin scary, 2 thumbs u 5 starts.
