Contra is a freeware modification for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour real-time strategy game and one of the first mods for this game. It adds many new units as well as numerous new upgrades, new general's powers and buildings. It also adds new sounds, maps, bug fixes, enhanced graphics, and other effects, as well as three new generals.
Here is a sneak peek at what to expect for the Campaign. Made in Adobe After Effects CS5 by me (lil tasman). All briefings will look like this, but respective color tint by what faction you are.
Woah that looks so professional
Thanks! I tried for a satellite effect like in COD 4 Briefings.
"Searching for GLA" is a bit cheesy though, maybe something like "Scanning for hostiles" or "Gathering Intelligence". Something like that would be a bit cooler in my opinion. But otherwise great job! :D
scanning for possible enemy locations?
Changes made. Changed it to "Scanning for Hostiles". Thanks for feedback guys.
scanning for benelovent biological and mechanical entities
perhaps a scanner effect like on sonars or rippling circles. and a font change would be nice, it seems out of place in comparison to the rest of the graphics
the scanner reticle should also be moving around rapidly and there should be grid lines in the map so it may look like CoD4. and yeah scanning for hostiles (scanning for hostile activity would be somewhat fitting), hostile activity detected should be the text appearing there. and the font should look more digital than type written.
there were grid lines.. didnt you see them??
This is not Saudi Arabia. This is Oman.
En.wikipedia.org
Fixed. Next time I render it will be fine.
Made in After Effects? Using Google Earth for world? And adding a grid? And ofcourse a lot more :O!
But dude... This one is very... Very... Nice!
It's not Google Earth, Google Earth was too low resolution. I used other satellite images off of the internet.
+1 Karma
at the end he used the twitch plug :D
And in the beginning too.
Where are the Optical Flares! >:[!
Love that plug-in...
Заставка хорошая и карта намного лучше Шеллмэпки. Буду надеяться что и остальные миссии будут качественные.
very nice!
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare briefing parody?
Btw... Where is the voice :(
I knew i forgot something! Being added in now.
no wonder why it is taking so long :D it must of token a long time to do all this.
Programs... ^^, coull'd be done in... I think... If you know how it must... Arround, nah... Idk, 1/3 hours?
Yes, but i only did 30 minutes a day because I must keep up with other parts of Contra
Dude that was awesome! keep it up!
Btw, how many missions are you guys planning? 5-7 each?
Very good, add a few more sound fxs with the dialog box pop-up would be better.
I see a caption "Anal For A" at the video preview. It's funny.
"A" found... Start mission...
Ahahahaha... you don't see the rest of text there lol. "Analyzing for Attack. Lol
This, is, AWESOME!!!!
I can't wait til you guys are finished. I am so geeked!!! Awesome job!
new missions?
Yes, new Campaign for GLA, USA and China.
or maybe for every faction 4 or 5 missions hahah no that is to mutch work
i think
their is an island in this region maybe you can put the mission in it or any other
You should add some sound effects !
Try to add some sound brief... :)
BTW nice briefing..Like CoD 4
this is super fantastic man!
i think you need to use briefing combination from COD4 and MW2. Maybe that will be awesome
BTW, nice video. Keep up the good work
Woah guys, you should see it now! I've completely re-vamped the UI, text boxes, fonts, maps... well, everything! I'll re-upload here when it is done: It makes this version look like child's play!
Yes. Be patient guys. Tasman is doing his best to bring you the best.
Did you decide to use the normal Genereals soundtrack or do you still want me to create an original soundtrack for this briefing?
This is a USA Mission 1 Intro in Contra 008??
