Download link appears to be broken. I'm getting 410 - Gone error.

I seriously doubt it, try contacting valve to see if something went wrong.

Official Mirrors are up guys: Eternal-silence.net

You can also get it from out download page on ModDB

Well, bomb corvettes, capture subsystems, destroy enemy capital ship. It's rather hard to force people to do something even when you throw an objective in their face and tell them to do it, as many people would rather do their own thing and focus on combat. We'll see what we can do though.

Well there is a blood splatter when you hit an enemy, try and watch for it.

As for your X and Y configs,try creating your own private server and experimenting with the controls, sensitivity, and X Y configs. See what you enjoy and then try it out on a full server. The game was made to be primarily played with a mouse, so you shouldn't have too many difficulties. Keep in mind there is also a cut engines key which allows your ship to turn very quickly.

Gunships are forced to wait a few seconds before they take off, so chances are they have already waited for some people to get in. If you miss one, try escorting it to it's location, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

We've discussed launch tubes, and even tested a similar concept. however they didn't really do much, and then the problem of landing arises.

We had decided to go with IGN, once since they host our website, and 2 because they are the largest entertainment portal out there. Fileplanet therefore has a 1 day exclusive with the mod, we'll have it out to you on a decent mirror tomorrow.

Overall the experience with IGN hasn't been a good one, so most of us devs are dissatisfied with this as you guys are.

No, bots would be extremely complex for a mod such as this, and for a team our size it would simply be a lack of resources.

Yeah, we have a bunch on nice new screenshots on our site, dunno why Marc or Dan haven't uploaded them to ModDB yet...

Yeah you can, it actually doesn't even use the EP2 engine. However as long as you have source SDK base installed, you can play any HL2 mod, no matter what version of the engine it runs on.

Old screenshots are ooollllddddd, both of those scenes are not currently in the mod, especially the HUD on the infantry one.

It could be, depending on the skill of the players involved and if you don't mind playing without the normal frantic feeling the game provides. I do recommend having at least 3 people per team though.

Indeed, glad to see you enjoyed Eternal Silence.

Actually we released a video not too long ago featuring some in game footage as well as the HUD, it can be found here:

We aimed for a cinematic trailer this time, and that is what we delivered.

You heard wrong.. it's still NGM vs UTF (NGM = Neo-Galatic Militia)

3.0 features almost entirely new textures, as well as many new models, especially for ships. At any rate the whole mod is a great piece of eye candy and we aren't even using the orange box engine.

Sorry but no, why would we allow one player to be able to completely walk over an entire team except for the other super soldier? Every other player will be at an extreme disadvantage and therefore will probably just quit the game. Alternatively, some players will refuse to play unless they get to be the super soldier. Overall it will simply draw people away from the mod as it is not newbie friendly, and we don't want that.

You guys really need to update the news. Also, why aren't the rest of the dev team on here?

Depends, the current release is nearly a year old so it really only gets populated (usually no more than 10 players though) on weekends and at night, however around release the servers have always been packed for the following months
