Scaleable engine = MUCH less need for massive under-the-hood power.  

So breathe easy, friend. :)




And is anyone else strangely mesmirized by the water exploding as the bullets hit it?  it just seems to add so damn much to the entire effect.  Jebus i can't wait!

This particular video can be seen from a much better perspective in the huge video that's linked in this (http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=70726) thread.

That wouldn't be realistic since most of the CS-players don't have a brain  ;)  :p

hmm... good point... :(

Has anyone ever played Soldiers of Fortune? The idea of the head gibbing off reminds me of what you can do to the corpses with your weapons... chop off an arm with a knife, sever a leg, put deep slash marks into their chest, etc. All the really fun stuff that I like *coughINTERACTIVITYcough* <3

Well it would appear there is a setting like that.

I mean I'm sure in the full video the saw-blade cuts a zombie in half.

But I could be wrong.

Grenades + ragdolls = fun. Gore and blood and severed limbs are optional.

see i know that the blades cut zombies in half ( obviously ) im talkin about with guns tho , in real life you dont just have clean wounds like that when shot by 20+ rounds :p

SoF was sick. If you played that game only because of it's violence, you are to be pitied.





















What the hell am I saying? w00t, another head blown away with the desert eagle ^_^.

SOF was good fun for all! Especiallly shooting the guy pissing in the beginning  ollllllll, but yeah the 600mb version of this is much better, it has good sound and much more, I think its 25minutes long ^_^......  I think its only available at fileplanet though... I suggest dling in the morning, less wait time.

Postal 2 > SoF

Postal 2, even just the demo itself, is insanely and sadistically fun. I'd spend hours dumping gasoline around and on people to torch them (I'm a major fire freak) If you're wondering how I could play the demo for long periods of time, theres something you can type into console in the demo that removes the 7 minute time limit, although I forget exactly what.

Anyway, the CounterStrike: Source video was very cool, I've grown tired of the same old pre-made death animations (which remain even in the XBox version of CS, and I assume they are in Condition Zero as well). The ragdoll deaths are definitely very cool.

Yeah they are but they manage to give the impression of ragdoll physics in CZ.

SOF II you can blow the head straight off, it's coolest when you do it point blank with the shottie <3
