Well we are starting a brand new year so I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at some of our earliest concept work. The selection of videos detailed below are from the very beginning of the mod when it was just myself, working alone. These are merely concepts created before the SDK was released and as such do not represent the final quality of the mod in any way. However it is always good to sometimes reflect on the mods initial origins to see how far development has come. I hope you will enjoy taking a look back to the beginning of CryRecon with us.
PRECISION AIRSTRIKE
One of the many tactical support systems for CryRecon:NanoWarrior. This enables you to call in various strikes which are purchasable by the player with the token system. This simple example shows a basic airstrike. It can be called on any target in the map at any time the player chooses to do so. Other warheads and delivery platforms are detailed in later videos.
JAVELIN ANTI-ARMOR MISSILE SYSTEM
A demonstration of the Javelin Anti-Armor Missile launcher for CryRecon. This video details the Javelin's famous "Top-Attack" fire mode.
M249 SAW
A test of the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon that may feature in the mod (now replaced with the MK48 Mod1) for both the player and your support squad mate. Currently only demonstrating the 3rd person version.
VTOL UAV CYPHER II "DRAGONWARRIOR"
The UAV featured in CryRecon. It can be called by the player at any point or location to obtain an unimpeded view of the battlefield. As well as allowing the player to see through one of the two camera "eyes" of the UAV it also scan's the local area adding enemy positions to the players map.
AIRDROP SYSTEM
Allows the player to call in light vehicles and also medical/ammo supplies while on mission behind enemy lines. The airdrop is supplied by the C-17 Globemaster III.
CBU-87B CLUSTERBOMB
A short test of another munition type that is delivered via airstrike. The CBU-87B is a cluster bomb that deploys 202 collision detonated bomblets that disperse above the target delivering a devistating strike over a large area. Most sutiable for soft and light targets.
CBU-72 BLU-73B FAE (FUEL AIR EXPLOSIVE)
Yet another airstrike munition, this time delivered by the F117-A NightHawk. This warhead detonates above a target expelling a large cloud of fuel, this is then detonated mid air causing a massive pressure explosion capable of causing extensive damage to any target caught within the cloud. The video also demonstrates the Satellite GPS beacon system that is used to pinpoint targeting for the pilot.
OICW "AIRBURST" STYLE GRENADE TEST
A short demonstration of the OICW style "Airbursting" grenade. This video shows how a conventional grenade launcher is incapable of targeting enemies in cover. The system employs a laser range finder to obtain distance to target. A preset of either one or two meters can then be set to allow the grenade to detonate inside a room. The video shows the "window mode" in operation. The OICW is shortly to be implemented into CryRecon in the next update.
A lot of content shown off here, and a lot of it is very well done :D Great work guys.
holy cow, i think i just jizzed in my pants!, this rocks! the M249, the nighthawk! wow just awesome! the only thing i have a problwm with is the bomb at the first video, it dropped a little to slowly, just a little! but then agian nothing is perfect to me, but this stuff comes close, great job, u looking for any team members?
One thing to add on to the post above mine, just realized it, the muzzle flash on the M249 looks HUGE. Almost too huge.
It looks very good. Nice Effects and bomb drop-offs. :D
I remember this! You've come a long way, and these concepts were amazing!
Yeah, a lot of detailed additions to the engine and mod... well done...
Wow, an awesome display of devastating explosions! These concepts look and sound great, well done!
I agree with the above comments about the imperfections, even though they're works in progress. It'd be great to see these concepts polished in the end :)
Many many thanks for your feedback guys. All the particle effects are being customed made for each asset now and the systems are being moved over to being hard coded instead of flowgraphed. We hope to present a selection of these vastly improved versions very soon.
Oh man, do NOT let this die.
This honestly looks like it will surpass any commercial Ghost Recon game.
awsome news
really like the features
Great work Guys !
