We've got a lot of surprises this time around, and while this won't be a three day media release like last time, we've got just as much content.
First off, we noticed last time that a lot of people were disappointed to not see any new weapons. We thought it over, and I'm sure you're all going to love it. Now, rather than spoil the surprise of this new weapon, we decided to just give you a small hint now and then. So, without further adieu, here's the first hint:
Pretty sweet eh? No? Well, here's one more hint:
You've only heard about this weapon until now, and it kicks the ass of everyone and everything in the near vicinity, INCLUDING YOU!
We've decided to give you all one more hint, to spark some thinking.
The weapon has a kill everything button.
That's right. As always, we've got plenty of new screenshots for you, showing off our maps, materials, models, and even particles. I'm just flying to my death with excitement!
Here's 14 fresh screenshots, straight from City 17.
HOLY **** STICKS! THAT IS ******* AMAZING! and the new weapon sounds very intresting, i love the use of lighting. great update and great job!
I'm glad you like it.
Not related to any game or mod, isn't there a problem lol ?
Yeah, the ModDB admins are on it.
That lighting system reminds me very much of one in i think fallout, I can' remember. But i remember all the crap in the air in some game.
Yes! Looking frickin fantastic man! Beautifully refined, crisply lit, loving it. God damn it...here was me thinking I had an advantage because I'm in australia, and yet I'm still unsure on what the new weapon could be. I thought portals for a split second as well, but it doesn't really count as a weapon. Ok, let's get this straight, do you mean counter as in to counteract, or counter as in counting?
Wonderful update anyhow!
Bit of both. Either will help you.
Hmm that must be the leak in my imaginations but the main question i would like to ask is counter for what ??
If I told you, I'd be telling you the answer.
I believe it's a flamethrower or a similar weapon. When he says Australians have a counter to it he's referring to TF2 and the sniper's Jarate.
Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up. Haven't gotten around to TF2 so I was out of the loop on that one. Curious to see more clues.
Has nothing to do with TF2, but Australians.
I didn't sign the NDA, which I probably should, but I don't want to spoil the surprise of what the new weapon is, except "Holy ****." Na-na-na.
I like it all!
i Like it very much!
And it looks pretty good ;o)
Great Job!
Oooh... the new smoke effect on the muzzle flashes looks very promising just remember that there's no smoke without fire.
I beg to differ.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is all i was saying more like screaming as i viewed the screens, the maps are insane!!! any chanse i could contribute?
At the moment we're pretty good, but thanks!
Okey... i think.... THIS IS AWESOME!!! AND THE NEW GUN LOOKS VERY INTERESTING...
waiting for moar... YAY!!
interesting....but what makes this different to hl2?
Looks great.
personaly i think the weapon is a toilet
You win
My edit time was over so here we continue australia instead of africa , maybe the australia temparature is like the ray temparature (COUNTER counts the heat) that would explain the blue particles instead of those shiny , redishyelowwhite.
Oh, a little warm.
Or the weapon does not exist and it was a joke , the particle is of an building explosion and the other hints dont have to do something wit it , if you accept me that it was a joke i will be not angry. (posting bad rating because i thinked about the "GUN" is no way to get rid of this comment)
I meaned that you speak about the gun heat so its a ION cannon ??
It is a biological weapon?
Nope
Love the screen of the broken floor with the arm chair teetering on the edge.
Will you implement parallax mapping?
Nope
nice looking mapping there, keep it up :D
OH GOD WHAT'S THE WEAPON
Is it nanobots. Swarming through the air. It could be.
Nope
On the c17_city_day_02b0044.1.jpg screenshot, how did you do that lighting? It's gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on great work guys.
Nice Pictures, but i can't see very good because they're a bit dark -.-
But nice weapon Model ;-)
I would love a weapon that shoots fire. but as its shooting its ammo away the alternate fire of an ice beam is charged. and visa versa. so the weapon absorbes heat energy for latter use but has a maximum copacity.
A flame thrower could be possible.
"One more hint!

OWW SHI- That will be interesting.. and destructive :D
Is it the new egon gun???
