Halloween Media Release!

Wow thats a good one, where did you get it from? The book of I'm to lame to think up anything new?

If you're going to be all over The Crysis engine, that's fine. But that doesn't mean the thousands if not millions of people still playing Source engine games are going to. Mods for Half Life 1 are even still popular because they're that good, not because the graphics are outdated by a good amount of years. Look at Counter Strike 1.6.

One of the reasons why the Source engine is popular and will still be popular is because of it's versitality. Not everyone has a powerful computer to run really high-end games like Crysis. Source can play on a lot of different systems. The more kind of computers a game can support, the more will play it simply because not everyone spends money on 1337 computer parts.

As for closed/open beta testing, you are wrong in this case. The first Brainbread started with only a small group of testers before it was released to the public. And guess what? People still play Brainbread. No one has forgotten about it, which is why BB:S is going on in the first place. It is better this way because a more polished version is more enjoyable than one riddled with bugs, and knowing players, they will be picky and get turned off by the game just because of glitches.

You obviously didn't respect anyone here enough to read what the BB:S developers themselves posted on that, and that is why SDW didn't waste his intelligence trying to talk to you. If all you have is bad things to say about the way things are being done, then get the hell out. You think you know more than anyone else here, but that really is not the case. You are contributing nothing but shit, and therefore are useless.

and yet you still didn't actually enlighten us with what experience you do have...

although I have to give you credit, I honestly thought you'd be a one post wonder,

having said that, you obviously didnt actually take the time to sit and read and think about what we developers posted back, especially my last post where I more or less guaranteed that the beta will be open to the entire public rather than closed, so really this is an entirely mute point anyway.

but still, regardless, at the end of the day, nothing will be released to anybody until we feel that its ready to be released, its absolutly pointless to release anything less than a playable and fun mod, unless we have at least 75-80% of what made the original mod great, then whatever we release is going to be a disappointment, and that will cost us more fans than having no beta release at all.

and besides, it's irrelevant what engine a mod is developed for, what matters is how suited the mod is to the engine, crysis is all about huge open spaces and good ai and shit, brainbread quite simply isn't, it's gameplay is best realised on the half life engine, plain and simple, and if your argument had any validity, well, every mod would be fucked before it even began, theres lots of engines coming out all the time, u3's, quake4's, stalkers, bioshocks to name a few, yet the majority of mods still continue on source engine... that alone should be enough to make you stop and think, hell, valve are still working on games for their engine, just look at orange box released only a few weeks ago.. if the bloody developers are still using the engine, then it's nowhere near dead or outdated.

and quite simply, if you don't like it, then you can go jump, if you don't like the way things are run, well.. go make your own mod and release it the way that you want and prove us wrong, but from your comments, i'm pretty sure you've never been a major part of any successful mod, so really you need to shut up and learn a thing or two first.

Hypocrit much?
