Tiberian Eclipse is no longer a Battlefield 2142 modification. Our efforts are focused on Crysis and over the course of the next few weeks are site will be updated accordingly to reflect the port. Also along with this, our content already posted (and about to be) will be upgraded accordingly to Crysis' capabilities. This includes detail in models and increased texture resolutions We have a lot of work ahead of us and we are pretty excited about getting this show on the road. So, without further delay, let's get to the content. The following content is the last of our Pre-Crysis work that we are showing off to prove that we are working behind the scenes.

First up we have our first work by our new texture artist Sirnaut. In our opinion he definitely did a great job getting a sleek design going. We plan on dirtying it up a little bit (but not too much) to give it a more battle worn look to it.

Next we have the GDI Texture done by Three9. His intentions for this was to make him appear a more heavily armored class and heavier than the NOD counterpart. Because this texture was not finished before we decided to port, a lot of it is still a work in progress and the final texture for Crysis will be better defined.

We also have the updated version of GDI's new HammerHead VTOL Fighter (replacement for the Orca fighter). The new VTOL engine design is hopefully similar in design to the Orca Fighter and will be recognized as so, I also added a tail mounted rotatable engine. Once complete, Sirnaut will get straight to work on the texture for it.

The NOD Obelisk has also been started and is a current WIP. Although there really isn't much to it yet (and once again started before we decided to port) and will also increase in detail soon enough.

Our newly accepted 3D artist Dio has also almost completed the Stealth Tank. Once we get the final renders we will update this post with his work, and I'm sure all of you NOD fans will enjoy what he cooked up.

And once again as a disclaimer, all content (including those just posted) will be updated in detail for Crysis. This includes detail in models, increased texture resolution, specular maps, normal maps, and more!

at first i was like meh.. a mod for 2142. I wasn't very excited. And thats odd because I love 2142.. its an amazing game but it does have its drawbacks. The net code, the lack of support, and the difficult modding.. i just didnt see me playing it.

But now, CRYSIS! thats a good game. I have allot of experience with sandbox and crytek.. your in good hands. Having played the beta already and tinkerd with the engine I have to say... winner.

cant wait for the mod.

Good to see you guys move to crysis. Can't wait for a playable TS modification.

I'm glad you guys are taking liberties and flexing some creative muscle with this mod. Copy-paste mods of old games are fine, but taking the story in your own direction is very interesting. :D
