COOOOLLL!!!!!!! I love that

That looks really neat I'm interested...(duh)

Screenshots look ugly as hell, don´t zoom them in, a good quality is appreciated

Other from that it looks nice till now, any weapon/gostek previews or just in game?

When you use a resolution greater than 1024x768, you can't see such tiny graphics without being zoomed

Anyway, I'm very happy with the DSR-1. I've managed to get it tweaked exactly how I wanted it: It can perform amazingly, but takes equally amazing skill to use. You can get a one-hit-kill with it, but only if you hit them perfectly in the head. Two shots to the torso are also lethal, as are three leg-shots. To balance it out, an average reload time with a 5-round clip ensure that it can't be abused. That plus a great visual style make it exactly what I wanted when I went to replace the Steyr Scout.

Your gosteks are very nice looking but can you post some un-zoomed pics?

Also, the mortar is a lot more useful now (though still a secondary weapon for a reason).

EDIT:

I've /finally/ found something good to do with the chainsaw. While the game forces my electrolaser to do a very high amount of damage, I've balanced it by giving it only a short amount of time to zap before having to do a quick reload. Comes with a flickering arc effect, a decent electricity sound (especially considering the engine limitations around the chainsaw), and even a smoke particle effect coming from the zapped area.

Wb Taehl, good to see you again ^^

Taehl · « **Reply #8 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:00:26 pm »

Hey! Good to see I'm not old and forgotten ^^

I'm gonna go sleep now. I wonder if anyone will figure out what my little project is... I'll try my damnedest to finish it before my new computer parts come in and I get distracted

Taehl you aer back!!!!!!!!!!!
And with so great news for now that mod is going to look even better than LW

I wanna swap that gun with my steyr!

I though the DSR-1 gold-plated dragoon barrel was the coolest DSR variant.

I was wrong. I love the DSR and you've done great justice to it. I really like it!

Taehl · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2009, 06:22:20 pm »

Thank you. I've only changed one pixel since I posted those shots, and that's the way it will stay. I hope you like the silenced firing sound I made for it as much as the graphics.

This time around, unlike LandWarrior 2.0, I wanted the weapons to be superb not only in a tactical way, but ALSO in twitch-fest tournament style. It's taken some tweaking, but now I can say that, unlike LW2.0, a 6-person match in DesertWind is fun and balanced (except the sniper rifle, obviously, but even it, with some careful use, can get you half as many kills as, say, someone with a shotgun (which is much better for a fast, tight match)). Those of you who liked my old mod shouldn't fear: I'm still working with the concept of making each weapon ideal for a specific situation, and weak in specific others, so that no one weapon is "best".

A teaser made from my latest round of balance playtests (with inane commentary)...

Pff, go figure I would get the background color wrong. Damn.

Don't take my recent lack of posts for inactivity - I've been too busy working on the mod!*

Looks awesome so far

I WANT IT

The laser\teaser looks epic...Wow finally a weapon that functions similar to the saw.

The PDEL-7 (the name I've given the electrolaser) actually ended up having a strange and wonderful mechanic: It has more range than the chainsaw, and if it doesn't kill the target (which it can do in an instant), it'll fling them disorientingly around. At the same time, if someone runs at you with the thing, you can actually get /inside/ their zap radius - and they'll be completely helpless as long as you can stay on top of them. So if you're attacked right as you've emptied your magazine, say, you aren't completely screwed - you still have a (difficult!) chance for some righteous ownage.

I've been attempting to hide as many rewards for skillful playing like this as I can.

All in all, I love it. Boogey Man is actually a threat now

Nice, tweaking up the good old boogies. But, haven't they always been a threat, i numbers?

Hmm... The MP7 seems... Not quite perfect to me. Any ideas what it needs?
