I guess my previous post just gave you different terms for the same things you mentioned so this time I'll mention that to my knowledge czg's function is as a level designer and not scripter.
czg: since I answered instead of you, you should have some time left for finishing that q1 map during the holidays! https://homedrive.home.nl/gimli/publiek/fitz06.jpg
Hell, someone's bats lost ways! looks pretty good, although it looks like someone took a chunk out of the left side of it's face. ;)

Does anyone know of any good WW1 shooters? Looking at these colour photos(!) from World War One made me think that a game set in that area could satisfy some of the war gamer crowd while freeing us from fighting Nazis. WWII is where it's AT. I don't think the fighting tactics (ie stand around in holes in the ground and let bombs fall on you) employed in WWI would make for very good gameplay (unless the game wildly diverged from WWI, in which case, hey let's make a WWII game, they sell really well right now).
I hope games with nazis never stop! also, nazis have single-pane windows in their houses. that's why bambuz's great great grandfather enlisted in the Polwiegish army and singlehandedly liberated Polway. He shared what was left with the people of Polway, and it fed every family for forty days and forty nights because of the miraculous bounty of Polweigish rations brought on by the economic savings of the might double-paned Polweigish window.
Nazi's are no fun if they aren't doing occult/future-tech stuff. Nazi's are also fun because they are the last true evil lately, rather like orcs, but without being smelly and bad looking.
Hitler was a vegetarian. Nazi Germany had progressive animal and nature protection laws. This is all irrelevant though since Nazi Germany is like Morgoth - totally and purely evil all by itself and without any reasons or dimensions. I understand if people feel like that -they were pretty fucked up and did lots of evil things.
And to Lun: sorry, I was half trying to just help, half just irritating you. :) Also: The Poles and English don't have double-pane glasses and thus they freeze in the winter or consume big amounts of coal. Also2: The English don't have cold and hot water mixing to warm water in the same tap, so you either burn or freeze or have to mix it in the sink, which is awkward. Also3: Norway used to be quite backwards but now they're rich with oil money. They must have doublepanes, and had probably those already way back since it's quite cold there. Czg, Fjoggis or that weight lifting absolutist medical student mapper can fill you on this. Did it for neg!ke, but maybe some of you would like to read the Quake shareware review from the Powerplay (german...) too:

DECIDED TO POST GREAT ASSES INSTEAD:
william shakespeare DRAMA bambuz THRILLER vinyl records TRAGEDY beyonce knowles THRILLER eeyore COMEDY chris steele MUSICAL jesus christ HORROR/SPLATTER coca cola inc FOREIGN That cover artwork is a shameless plagiarisation of a classic Games Workshop painting. At least the face and pose are.
http://www.fred-katrin.de/warhamm/volume1/jim_burns_dark_angels.jpg Before clicking, I can guess the one, a marine sarge in a small squad, can't remember the chapter but would guess dark angels...
I did actually make that guess before even mousing over the link. I award myself A PRIZE.
Since you work for a company making a WWII game (albeit not your typical type) you are automatically biased. :)
That's just it: the whole problem would be solved if there actually were atypical WWII games (or a game) released. Maybe not the whole problem, but at least it could help.
thanks.
i have read this kind of articles, too, back then. sure, quake was not all that innovative, but it definately was the most important pc game, at least in the field of fps. what really pissed me off at that time (not in this article) were comparisons to utter crap games, like "uh no auto-map in quake... this was sooo much better in duke nukem" and so on... but who can blame those jerks, they just didn't know better, playing their dumb interactive movie adventures all the time... :P anyway, i'm only looking for these "quake is..." advertisements. its pages in your magazine look very good (unlike mine), so you should make it a poster to hang in your rooms - which would be quite natural for someone running a quake site, anyway. ;) Since you work for a company making a WWII game (albeit not your typical type) you are automatically biased.
Says who? is not exactly one of the "realistic" fps corridor shooters under my crosshairs actually, since there is loads of fun occult stuff in there and it never felt based on WW2 that closely. RTCW seemed a lot more like Indy Jones style Nazi fighting than anything.
If Lun was working on "The Men who are Brothers of the Call of the Medal of Duty who have Valour in Arms 6" then I might say he could have some bias, but Erm, I suppose I should have said "Raven is working on the next Wolfenstein game ffs."
That Lun is working on the next Wolfenstein was just an assumption, since he was working on the now released Quake 4, and recently another Wolfenstein game, which will presumably use the same (or similar) tech was anounced to be in development at Raven. I have no idea what Lunaran is working on to be perfectly honest. I suppose you bhave a bunch of other projects going on at Raven that he could be on, or perhaps he was hired as the vending machine repairman. Sorry.
