Hello everyone! Whether you celebrate Kwanzaa, Christmas or Hanukkah, we wish you and your family the best during this holiday season!
A lot of people have been wondering how things are going. As a little Holiday gift, we've decided to bring you some news on 2.3.
Many of you may already know that we're releasing 2.3 on SteamWorks. This will allow us many new features including automatic patching and Achievements. Some of the achievements we have planned for 2.3 are as follows:
I have never lost a melee! - Kill 100 enemies in hand to hand combat.
Survivalist - Win a round of Last Team Standing while still alive.
Parrot Kebab - Kill a parrot with your spear.
Blast Proof - Survive a keg explosion.
Lightning Rod - Get hit by three different specials within 10 seconds.
These are just a few of the many achievements we have planned, there are plenty more to be expected!
With 2.3's release, we're expecting to see an influx of newer players. As a result, we've decided we'll need to even things out between the new player and the advanced player. Though we still expect those who have a lot of experience to do well, we're making some combat changes and features to help new players get a feel for the game quicker. More information will be available on this in the future.
Now, no news post would be complete without some nice screenshots! Below we have, in order:
-The new territory in Desertruin, allowing more space to move around.
-New paths in Forgotten, making it easier to sneak in and out of enemy bases.
-Some preview shots of Pinegrove, which Gaz is working on.
-Some in-game shots of the Gestir weapons.
That's all for now! We'll be back in action after the holidays are over to bring you some more great stuff!
OH THANK GOD YES
Nice! always been a fan.
Looking good...
So hard to find bad things about this mod (YA SCURVY DOG!)
Happy Hannukah for all the Jewish out there! (And happy christmas for the christians =D).
Love this mod! Probably my favorite mod for HL2. =D Can't wait to play 2.3, guys.
There is plenty of win in this post. I'm glad to see modders take advantage of the Episode grasslands and forest content. It really looks great. I hope to see more Episode 2 forest content in HL2 mods.
WOOOT!!
YOU ARE NO MAN! :X
I liked the wacky fights on the two towers, but the fortress sure looks more impressive. I love all the maps for their great design and looks and PVK's 2 is definately the only mod/game I know, which has a working melee system, which isn't totally boring.
Still getting greater all the time.
it is one of the best animated mods for hl2 till now and i concern it to be one in the future :D
hang on guys
you´re work is great
Sweet update, maps are looking fantastic
