Today it´s official - we changed! The former Half-Life 2 modification Pandora Forces will now be continued as a FarCry modification. There are various reasons for this decision, e.g. Crytek (developer of Farcry) assured us of a special support. Furthermore the FarCry-engine is much better for our project, that is based on jungle combat in the South American rain forest. In opposite to the Half-Life 2-engine, the FarCry-engine is able to produce huge outdoor-levels with a very close vegetation. In cause of this fact we decided to change the engine, because we want to have the best conditions for our project.
In addition we´re sure, that the ones, who want to play our mod will be glad too, because it will be releases befor the HL² release! In this way we´ll want to point to the announcement to our closed beta, which will be in April. The beta will proceed in different steps - the more steps, the more tsters will be allowed. After the closed beta there will be a public beta!
I'm trying to figure out if i want to use the word *cream dream* or jelousy.... hmmm
Great stuff... great chopper!
btw... hl2 is going to allow for great outdoor enviroments...(I've seen it in action, and read the reports) but hey! It'll be out quicker, and may be easyer with that engine... Power to ya!
