I like to drive vehicles on FPS games, but I fear is very hard to imposible to crappy to code vehicles in HL engine. So maybe you can change the tank in the logo by something similar the Counter-Strike logo.
Its somewhat dirty to show vehicles as some people may download this with a not-correct asumption and end playing another (But really well done and atractive) new CS clone, aka, tactical urban warfare.
Other than the logo abuse, looks like a very atractive mod. Good work!
Indeed sweet:)
I had not thought of that the tank might lead people to believe they can drive them ingame. Yes, it is nearly impossible to have decent driveable vehicles on the HL1 engine.
Thanks for the other comments:)
