Black Sierra - Full Install - V0.21
Aug 29, 2009 Full Version 0 commentsThe full installation of Black Sierra Alpha v0.21. Readme included this time! Yay.
Set in modern times, Black Sierra is set upon a fictional mountain where its habitants have disappeared. Communication, trade, and signs of life from the communities stop after a group of miners break into a deep and complex cavern system where a group of carnivorous beasts resided in. Now set free, and with no reason to fear man. These beasts spread out, and prey upon the communities of the mountain. Weeks pass as missing persons reports increase before communications stop all together. Now after a Search and Rescue team goes missing suddenly, it is your squad's job to find them and extract them. However; after finding yourself in the mists of the S&R's remains, your objective clearly becomes to just make it down the mountain alive.
Black Sierra is a basic first person shooter at heart, but is being completely designed with cooperative gameplay in mind without going over the top. Teamwork is encourage greatly, yet it will never be forced upon anyone to require a team mate in order to win. Maps, pickups, monsters, weapons, and events are designed to be played with friends (or strangers if you have no friends), yet at the same time never requiring an AI team mate if you feel like playing alone.
Survival is carefully planted into the mix as your team runs low on ammunition for their high-grade weapons, and are forced to acquire civilian weapons, ranging from shotguns to hunting rifles. Slowly the chance of survival decreases as weapon reload time increase, less ammo is held per clip, and it's accuracy degrades. Pitting players with a choice of holding onto their beloved high-tech weapons, or snatching a low-grade one in order to have plenty of ammo.
Features:
5 Player Co-op: Play with up to 4 other players as you trench through the entire singleplayer style campaign. Team work is encourage through various features, such as being able to hand out ammo to team mates.
"Smart System": The "Smart" system is designed to give total replayability, it calculates and generates weapons, monsters, ammunition, and more depending on how many players are currently playing, and what their load outs are. Yet will also randomly generate them at the same time, keeping players on their toes at all times even the second time through as those precious weapon spawns some one always rushes for may produce nothing at all.
Scavenge and Survive: Starting with military-grade weapons, players are forced to take arms with civilian weapons as their ammo is decreased, search through the world in order to find weapons and ammo.
A New Breed of Monster: A fast and accurate shot is needed in order to survive, the beasts of Black Sierra aren't your usual dim-witted brutes that require 3 clips to put down. These monsters are quick, agile, and aggressive. The blend into their surrounding, and pounce upon their victims when they're least expecting it. Quick to take down, hard to hit is the idea. A new challenge awaits.

NICE mod !! and also the music. what is the name of it?? ^^
SFX_Music_VentActionLoop
Mark might have a better name for it.
ty
I'm not entirely sure if that's what he meant. What Kyben just gave you is of the music that plays in the vent room when the action starts. And it was custom made by our Sound Engineer Mark/MadMax.
If you're talking about the video on our page, that's Nirvana - You Know You're Right.
If there is some other kind of music you're talking about, you might have to be more specific :P
k ^^ that music thay are singing like . I will move away from here. and so on.
