"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

You may - but the Vasudan wielding a simple pistol (which is more like an big-UZI compared to a human hand) would shoot you in the fave multiple times by the time you brought the aimsight to bear.

When facing Shivans though,...you'll need firepower - badly need it. The trick would be being the first to fire - maybe someone will have to be the bait from the team. (Alien 3 anyone? :devil: )

are you kidding? the that gun is interfaced with that eye thingy. All you would need to do is point your hand and shoot. Were thinkin FPS here. THis would probably turn out to be a regular health/armor system like half life and red faction....

True to that. But, we arent looking for an AUG here, just something sort of like it. Got any ideas guys? As soon as I get my old computer fixed and running again, I'm installing those half life 2 tools and getting my thing down because I really want to get this started... :lol:

Well I don't have any of the material on me, but off the top of my head the weapons from FS:FPS (set during the V-T war) included:

Terran
Ammunition Based (Caseless Collapsed Shell Uranium for the bullets, I forgot what was the caliber but Plasma had it written down, all of the ammunition was universal and could be used in every gun)
Automatic Pistol (Inaccurate automatic primary fire, accurate semi automatic alternate fire)
Heavy Assault Rifle (the one seen in the Hallfight Cutscene. Fully automatic, one idea being bounced around was a "replay" feature where secondary fires a TAG and the bullets redirect to the TAG bullet, sort of like the weapon in The 5th Element)

Energy Based (Uses Deuterium fuel cells to power the reactor)
GTW-X Banshee Rifle (A very large, cumbersome weapon, when fired it creates a high pitched shriek which can deafen civilians and those not using hearing protection, it effectively acts like a rocket launcher in most games)


Vasudan- Basically weapons designed for multiple use including melee as Vasudans are naturally strong and powered armor strengthens them even more so. Mainly designed for long range and short range combat only, with a definately lack of medium range weapons.
Ammunition Based
Sniper Staff (A very accurate rifle, as well as a sturdy bludgeoning melee weapon)

Energy Based
"Punch Daggers" (Similar to Katars, these daggers can be used for a melee attack or can be used for a raw short range energy discharge)

That's pretty much all I can remember at the moment. I know that quite a few more weapons were worked out.

Well then, I guess we will have to incorporate all of that into or MOD now wont we? Good work.

It seems he has "not had time to do it" and its at 0%. Then again, I'm not buying Doom 3. And personally, the community doesnt have the power to run Doom 3 unless your machine is high-end. 9700 or better, are the recommendations.

But then, we'll have a MOD for HL2 now then. That way we have a large community of people to try it out. Also, its bad-computer friendly.

The question is, WILL it be compatable or not? Doom 3 is really intense looking, however, I think that we should be a little more responsive and try it from scratch. He might have missed something that we didnt. After all, we have that 5000X3000 picture thats extremely detailed of the Shivans, and also the Terrans and their weapons. Good stuff, if you ask me.

I'd like to try my luck at it first with the HL2 editor, and then if I make no progess we can ask if he still has the models available and if he could give them to us. It might be compatable, it might not.

Well if someone's already making a FS FPS using D3, even if they won't be working on it for a while, then it'd be better staying with the HL2 engine anyway - that way there's a FS FPS for low end computers and high end computers. I'm interested in both anyway. And again, Doom 3 does not require a 9700. It can run on a Geforce 2 MX, as I said before.

 
Freespace 2: First Person Shooter
Well basically they wont be able to see it as it was meant to be seen. Meaning, the graphics would suck when viewing it on a GeForce2 MX. That's why if we use Half Life 2 then the engine will be able to tolerate the models on low-end computers. But, I am not reverting from Half Life 2 to Doom 3. I dont have its editor, but I have the HL2 editor, and I plan to use it to its extent. Drew said its very easy to understand and use.
