Yep, that's right. I've made my mind right after Strategy-x (the old website host) screwed things up, but certainly it was going to happen, sooner or later. Maybe it just gave everything it had...
But, when I think about everything this mod made to me, I feel quite happy about it. I'm sure that almost no one had the oportunity to see the mod growing like me, but anyway, it was amazing.
From the first release (3rd, May 2002), which was just a buggy pack of 3 weapons which would just screw up the game and brutally kill your frames... it turned out to be a great mod.
I mean, I really had fun with it... making it, without any knowledge. And I hope some people could have fun with it, too.
When I stop to think about the time I spent in it, the huge work I had to do everything, and see the final result, I can't blame for a thing. It's just great. I'm sure it could be much better, but... I don't know.
There're tons of things which just this mod have... the aiming system (where an invisible line would help the angle of the fired projectiles, so they'd really go where you were aiming), original items/effects/features... the menu, where you could customise almost everything... oh well, so many things.
I must say that I really enjoy reading the reviews @ modsquad, even the ones from older versions (yeah, AW Beta 1 too, hehe)...
It was just great... now, it's time to move on. I'm trying to find a game to make a new mod (based on something more concrete, so I would never limit it to a simple weapons mod). Just keep checking this profile: Maverick Hunters - I might change its name and content, at the right moment.
Again, thanks to everyone that played it, told me nice things (and... not-so-nice things as well), I just hope you all could have as much fun as I had with it. It's just for fun, right?
I might update the description later, with a few links where you can find the reviews I'm talking about... and other things. Later, thanks for your attention.
Sad time, but it was coming for a while. :( I'll still host the file for ya Darkness, so set it as the download link if you have it, if not PM me. :)
*sigh*....such a shame....
But your choice is your choice, and we'll stand by you for that.
Good luck with your new up-and-coming!
Nooooooooooo!!! 'tis gone. :(

Hi Darkness, and every one who had a part in the Alpha, it's Phayd here!
I'm saddened to hear that the beast that was going to be AW-X has stopped, but nothing can last forever, and when I read this I have to say, I will miss it, but at the very least I have the AW-X Alpha, and I know I made my contributions, so every time I pick up the Vampire Totem, I shoot someone in the crotch getting that CROTCH SHOT message, and see the messages that I sujested, I will smile, and think I helped with that!
I'll miss it!
