Rise
Crysis mod | TBD
Crysis TC influenced by the Tribes series of games. Made by people who love Tribes, this project aims to bring the best elements of the Tribes games and expand upon them in a full-blown multiplayer mod for Crysis.
What will you see in this mod?
Expect very high freedom of movement – every player has the ability to move frictionless across the terrain (‘skiing’), and every player has a jetpack to propel himself into the skies.
Expect large outdoor environments – multiplayer maps that stretch for several miles, yet can be travelled by a skilled player within a very short amount of time.
Expect team based online gameplay – because gravity is no longer an issue, Capture the Flag and other team-based gamemodes gain a completely new dimension.
Expect Tribal weaponry – the best weapons from the tribes series will make an appearance. Discs will fly.
Expect three different armour types – light armour for extreme speed, heavy armour for extreme protection, and medium armour for the best of both worlds. Every armour will have different weapon carrying capabilities and movement characteristics.
Expect a large scale of base equipment – inventory stations to re-equip yourself, turrets to defend yourself, and deployable equipment to serve you in the field.

Latest News: Recent query response

Hi all.
Well it has been a while since the last update, so apologies for that.
We have changed the format of the Project Rise site slightly now and moved over to a Blog system rather than News. This is open to a few key members of Waking Hour to post into so expect to see some of the inner workings being mentioned there.
This news update is to mainly respond to a few queries that have cropped up recently.
Namely vehicles in Rise, comparisons to the Tribes games and Beta testing.
Firstly, I'll go into the Tribes comparison aspect:
A lot of members of this team come from various backgrounds, and most are experienced with the Tribes games, so this opened a lot of windows. We sat down and analyzed what was cool about the different Tribes games and what wasn't, what worked and what didn't. Based on that we came up with a game plan for Rise, built all of those features, and right now we're going through a play test - adjust - play test cycle. If something proves to work well we're keeping it, if it doesn't work it goes back in the grinder to see why.
Due to real life, this doesn't always progress as fast as we'd ideally like, but so far its proven invaluable to us. I really enjoy playing Rise right now, and I can't wait until you guys can, too.
Obvious direct comparisons will of course be drawn to Tribes 1, 2, 3, and the perception of Rise will lean more towards one of the Tribes games than another. However this is not the designed intention for Rise. We aim to pay homage to Tribes whilst bringing something fresh to the table, and hope that our efforts will be rewarded by you guys having a lot of fun playing Rise.
We are not remaking any of the Tribes games.
Vehicles in Rise:
With regard to incorporating vehicles: this is an area which seems to divide people into loving or hating them.
We are not discounting the idea of vehicles totally at the moment, and have some ideas which could work really rather well, however we don't intend to revisit this aspect, and reach a decision until a much later development stage.
Beta Testing:
Thank you for your e-mails about participating in the Beta.
We aren't currently taking requests for this though, and have no mechanism in place to record the current ones.
Once we announce the Beta, you can re-submit your request and we'll take it from there.

I really hope this mod will be more like Tribes 1. Tribes 2 and 3 were simply too slow and too easy.
But judging from the movie (light armor skiing speed), its still slower than T1, which would mean I could play T2 or T3 instead. :(
Oh well...
Also I hope they still change the explosions. They simply dont fit to such scifi weapons.
yeah make a vhicle at least 2 ppl to operate and it looks like a spider fast and agily
This looks incredible. The Crysis engine looks really perfect for the tribes type of gameplay, though I don't know about how well my computer could handle those huge(and beautiful) maps in the trailer.
No vehicles? Are you serious? Without vehicles, it's not Tribes. There's no balance issue to this either. Just don't make them moronic FPS-standard vehicles, where the retard driving is also allowed to drop bombs, fire the tank, etc. It worked great in Tribes 2, making the powerful vehicles REQUIRE at least two people to operate.
I really tire of these stupid games that have tanks and the like where two people can use them, but the second guy only uses the gooby machine gun on top. That's stupid, that's not how tanks work, and that's horrible balance. One guy drives, one guy guns. Let them talk together with a vehicle-based VOIP and it's good fun all around.
Yes, without vehicles it's not Tribes - we're heavily influenced by Tribes, but obviously we're not trying to port the game to a new engine. We're trying to keep it simple for our short-term goals. Once the basics are fun, we can start expanding it.
We've decided to leave vehicles out of the first stage because they require alot of development time and have a huge potential to ruin the experience. They can be very cool if balanced right, but we want to spend our time on making the player to player gameplay fun first.
disagree. Tribes is fundamentally jetpack and skiing functionality.
wise decision, IMHO. Good call.
Although, I do wonder if the netcode for multiplayer Crysis can handle a game with lots of high-speed players lobbing projectiles at each other..? How does it fare?
Is the initial plan to get working bots in your mod?
All the same, good luck to you. I'll be watching your progress with great interest. The gameplay of Tribes has so much untapped potential, it'd be a shame to waste it. Just don't go ruining it all with the addition of grapples!
This mod is COOL :D
Wow... now Crysis interests me... please don't give up the development !
"Bon courage" (because I did not find the traduction on google X-D ) from France.
Yep, Vengeance kind of suckt.
I'm looking forward to this mod =)
