Descent into Crysis, Part II

Post by Neo »

Has anyone here tried the VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicles in Crysis Warhead? The controls are just like Descent... I use the same config as I do in D and w00t ^_^ The graphics & netcode (maybe :P) are of course far better than D3. Plus the VTOL vehicle looks cooler IMO than a Pyro. :) Maybe we can just play in these. :P Probably need a bit more variety of weapons, though. =P

Not from what I recall, no. They're cool and fun to fly, but they're still not 6DoF. (I'm a big fan of the Crysis games, but the flight movement still doesn't quite match Descent-style.) :)

I suspect it wouldn't take much to make it 6dof in a mod though...

That was my thought Cap. If I knew more about coding, I'd tear into it and check it out. It's pretty open for community content.

The Mechwarrior mod is coming along nicely. ... now it if would get released. ;)

MMMMmmmm, Living Legends. *Drools*

I think I bought Half Life 1, Star Trek Armada, and BF1942 just for the mods. Looks like ill be picking up Crysis for the same reason pretty soon.

Crysis is cheap, so you're in luck. Just need to be able to run it (but if you have a computer less than about 1.5-2 years old it should be OK by default, hopefully).

MW:LL's gonna be great but, I wish I have Crysis (or enough space to install Crysis) but, I'm still waiting for the next Beta of AT1 to be put up on Mektek (version 2.3.0). (BTW, there's gonna be a Battletech mod for Battlefield 2142 called Battlemech Hangar)

Nope. I couldn't make a call on it, but I'd be surprised if it's that late.

oh, btw, just got through playing Crysis for the ooh.. 3rd time and you can do 360dof. There is a part about 2/3rds the way through where you \"float\" through a space ship. you can move just like you do in a pyro. The VTOL will not allow you to roll 360, only about 270... maybe a little less. Anyone on the Mech Mod forums might ask if 360dof is codeable.

Well, you can fly the VTOLs in MWLL upside down, so it's easy enough.

I'd rather make a no-bunnyhopping/prone spamming mod for Crysis =P

Seriously, though, I'm flattered (I think =P) but I know almost nothing about programming/modding and the like. You guys can do it. :D

I think you should make a new game, just make it 6DoF... and make the weapons and ship similar to Crysis =P Call it Ascent =P

MW would lose that fight. D has the advantage of moving in the air while MW can only jumjet. You could fly circles around a mech.

It'd turn into a laser fight, no doubt about it. Which is kind of boring.

x2 Sirius
With the proper 'powerups', the pyro would win.

It'd rock if we could have a thread be shared among other BB forums... like a MWbb forum.

o ^_^

I was thinking it might be made something like Battlefield 2142 where you have the mechs and the \"gunships\" that can fly around, and the mechs can (and will =P) attack the gunships with guns and EMP rockets... Except in BF2142, the mech wins, unless the gunship pilot is a noob and kamikazes the mech on the AA gunner's blind side. :P

There's already games that sort of have this already. Like unreal3. It has this big mech walker thing and diffrent kinds of ships.
