Good News and Bad News
Bad News first:-
Sad to say but our friends at Battlefield40k (BF40k) are closing shop after a lot of years work.
This means that the community is losing another great warhammer 40,000 mod.
The Good News :-
The up side is that Lionheart (Team Leader BF40k) has ask if we (UT40k) could merge our content
to produce a even better stand-alone game via the UDK game engine. With great joy I welcome
Lionheart with any of his team who is willing to come over.
The next few weeks we will be pushing to get some of the BF40k content into our UT40k build so you can see where
we stand and hopefully you will enjoy what we're doing and where we're going with the game.
I suppose this may be for the better since UT3 provides a better platform for anyone to play the game, and debatably a better engine.
A standalone 40k mod sounds good to me
a standalone? hell as long as its going to be a decent 40K FPS im up for it.
hopefully this mod will improve, and stop just being a joke albeit a fun one, but still a joke none the less.
this is no joke and never has been, a lot of people might slag the mod down but they don't realise how much work it takes for a very small team.
btw after 6 years we are still here making a game for you, the others are not.
Well, the fok team have made a lot more progress that you guys have.
They have a nice mod, but also a lot already set up for them. They can reuse a lot of the anims from DOW, and only have to worry about lower polygon 3rd person models.
Producing for an FPS is far more demanding.
You have to produce 1st and 3rd person models for all vehicles, weapons and infantry and think of LOD models and collision meshes.
Programming wise a lot more needs to be set up like the spawn menus from scratch on an engine like unreal. The two really can't compare.
This is genuine, and the transfer of assets from BF40K has begun. There are quite a large number of assets to be transferred.
Sweet. Hope you guys release soon :)
@zenarion, check the download page, we release a new build nearly every month ;)
