Topic: The View

I'm sure, as anxious as I am.. I cannot wait til SS's... Can anyone tell me how the graphics.. or how the game looks will be like? For example lasers! Are they going to be really detailed? bright? the colors? (such as the tops flames of the towers.. where you see the flame, and the blue) - sorry if you dont know what i'm talking about... like the game Lego Starwars, the way the lightsabers were lit up! i LOVED it!

Also, have you guys thought about the Half-Life two engion for making games? Why you ask?

Pros -
1.) The graphics would be amazing! (hdr cool -- excellent for the shining of moons, or stars, or the sun)
2.) Head-to-head combat..
3.) There's a chance you could use the force (which everyone loves!! [seeming how there's the gravity gun])
4.) Physics, 100x better physics..
5.) Could actualy make money..!

Cons -
1.) Steam sucks the big one
2.) You'll never get heard (because steam sucks)
3.) that's all i can think off...

Have you ever tried mapping/coding with Source?  I've never coded but I've done some mapping with the Source SDK and some with the BF2 editor and they are lightyears apart.  The SDK is insanely more difficult.

Also, the Source engine just doesn't have the versatility of BF2.  For example, you cant run around, jump in a jet, kill a chopper, get shot wown by a stinger, get in a tank and be killed by an anti-tank guy in a boat.

Re: The View

the fights with a HL2-engine cannot be as big and I think vehicles are still not possible in online mode

Well, I remember playing on CS 1.6 awhile back, and there was this star wars map.. it was incredibly huge.. There were vehciles.. but as you know they are probably the worst attempt at making vehicles. Also, on CSS.. there's a command that an admin can do to put in the dune buggy and the fanboat from hl2.. Now i'm not sure if you can change those into real vehicles.. but my point is.. that this game is just a head-2-head combat.. like a map in Battlefront.. just without vehicles.. 

Remember de_tot? climb? de_dunes? those are really huge... espeacialy de_tot... Also the HL2 engion looks spectacular, and looks amazing.. now on the BF2.. they still look like blocks..  But I'm not saying to go making it (because i would much rather play it on here smile, more options and features)..

Re: The View

i am no dev but i can safely say the hl2 engine is wrong for a starwars game.  map size is one thing but the sheer amount of things going on in the server? NO WAY could hl2 handle it. especially space maps which will have fleets of xwings and ties.
