We think that's pretty much not true at all.

They added some new screenshots of the new zombie models but it was the level design shots that impressed me the most, very atmospheric and aparently the game is very close to release. 

Who does Neil Manke have doing the maps for him? 

from Raven, that's for sure 

 

Looks fun, and I don't care what anyone says, I always enjoyed the Neil Manke Quake maps. :-� 

Quake and Quake II, esp. Coconut Monkey and Slaughter Ship were fun maps to play. Both Half Life series, They Hunger and the more conventionally Half-Life like one were kind of boring. 

was probably my favoite manke map and probably in my top 10 or 12 levels of 1997. It had a good mix of solid classic q1 progression with quakec gimmicks, and the aesthetics, while simplistic, were actually about on par with other levels at that era. His first soldier of fortune map for quake2 was also pretty good, actually, and hit the curve at the right time for quake2 build standards. 

nevermind, soldier of fortune was for quake1. I think i'm mixing memories of that map with the sequel he made for Q2. 

Neil Manke is perfectly suited to work at Raven.

For The Record, I'm Just Shitstirring

Perfectly understandable, a little schadenfreude is good for the soul, but I bet you find yourself on the recieving end of people shitstirring more than your fair share of the time. 

great looking shots Zwiffle.

yeah soldier of fortune episode two was his first q2 map, and I still like that one. 

yeah, I usually don't blame them because I know I'm recieving what I give.

except inertia. screw that guy! 

I see what you did there. :D

Zwif: looking better and better dude, looking forward to playing it when I have net access at home again. 

Needs more monkeywrench.

Also, worth quitting your job over.

Overall reminds me bit of Aliens + HL2, heh. 

Oh, really nice screenshots ! Good work ! 

When I look closely I realize those are the same old crappy Q3Base textures, but the lighting just kind of smooths all that over.

More ammo for my lighting > alles theory. :)
