We'd like to announce the reformation, and redesign, of our site and forums. We're working on making it more user friendly to the casual surfer, and to make it appear much more aesthetically pleasing for the user. We're also working on streamlining the way that we work, and the order in which we work, setting new deadlines, and making the process of production less painless, and more enjoyable for those involved.
I'd also like to announce that we've added nearly 8 new members to the team, as we've steadily grown in size over the past month, and as a result, got more work done than we thought we would - something we're very glad for, as it gives us more to show you guys for this update bonanza.
We're also making the transistion to the Wars/Warhead engine, due to the recent release of the SDK, which allows us to utilise many of the optimizations, and changes that are present in Warhead that were not present in the original Crysis.
Weapons, and General Assets
Now, we've got several weapons that are being worked on, or have just been begun by the team. First up, we've got the Browning Hi-Power pistol. Holding 13 9mm rounds, this was the sidearm of choice throughout the coldwar period, and is still in use by the British Armed Forces. Modelled by James Miller.
Next, we have the Silenced Sterling. Possibly one of my personal favourites, as its such an unusual firearm in the modernday, but still extremely effective. Carrying 33 9mm rounds, it was capble of hitting targets accurately up to 100m away.For this asset, we had two different textures made by the team for it - both of which we display for you below. You can also watch the WiP firing animation, which is uploaded to youtube. Model by Ror-Shak. Texture by Ror-Shak, and Jason9Jason. Basic firing animation by Ror-Shak.

Next up, we have a selection of the grenades available for use by the player in Northern Ireland: 1983. M61 Frag Grenade, which was in use by the British Armed forces up until fairly recently, is still an effective fragmentation grenade. The Flashbang grenade is an excellent piece of kit, blinding and disorientating the victim - first developed in response to an SAS request in the early 60's, the humble flashbang is a deadly weapon in the right hands. The L50A1 smoke grenade was standard issue to British Army units stationed in Northern Ireland, and is still in use today by the Armed Forces. Low Poly models by gomgom50.
As our second to last piece, we give you the Watchtower. Surrounded by anti-RPG mesh, this was a common sight in Northern Ireland throughout the 70's and 80's, and one of the most iconic images of that period. Modelled by Donkluseckza. Textures by Duruk, and Serazhr.
And finally... The humble traffic cone. Commonly used to shield off areas for construction work, and for official purposes, this again was a rather common sight in Northern Ireland, and the UK, but somewhat less iconic than the watchtower shown above. Modelled by HollowIchigoBanki. Texture by Duruk.
