A huge thank you to our fans who supported DA team until this new release and of course special thanks to all DA Team members who worked hard to deliver a new experience!
Hmm this mod when i first heard about it seemed quite interesting, i imagened desert fought base wars, starship troopers style, but then i played it.
Kinda icky, REALLY bad skins, but hopefully they can turn it around.
Well at least its not as bad as Neo Cairo.
indeed, the UT engine was not up to the standards to support a squad of TeamMates (16max) and a horde of bots, so bot numbers where lowerd, i for one want more SS tropper action :) dont worry when we move this baby over to the new engine this is one of the things we have planned.
I just think alot of people are affraid to go near the SS engine due to the fact croteam are new kids on the block, the engine IS awsome for a first time developer.
Im just wondering what their next gen build will be like :o
