[MOD] Casus Belli Beta Released

[Kolga]

Introduction
Casus Belli scenario takes place in the world of Crysis, but is a realistic-like mod. Dont expect to find any futuristic weapon, nanosuit or Aliens on this mod.
The background of Casus Belli offers various battlefields such as Russia, Europe, Middle East and also North America in CB maps. I am sure you will like the countryside map "No bravery 1", nicely surrounded by corn fields, rivers, forests . But if you prefer industrial area, well, we have for you "No bravery 2" and its large factories. Be sure that we will enhance the feeling of a world in conflict in our maps by including many different areas like deserts, harbors, forests... Casus Belli will offer you urban maps with nice streets battles and building by building fights.
All these maps contain a large amount of exclusive assets like new buildings, new static vehicles, various city and house furnitures. Numerous custom textures are also included to change radically the universe of crysis and offer you a new gaming experience.
We also made some of the Crysis solo maps available for multiplaying, like River and Valley.
Besides, the new class system which changes the skin of the character depending on its class, the skinned hand and the random time of day make Crysis gameplay a more true to life experience.

Current Status
Casus Belli is largely inspired to battlefield series, and try to purpose a comparable experience on Cryengine2.
To do so, we totally removed the nanosuit and the health regeneration system, fixed a few exploits (like the jump exploit), and clearly oriented the game towards a battlefield-like experience. So far, the game play mix large maps for infantry and vehicules fights at 32 players, and little sized maps (10-16 players) for fights in the purest infantry tradition (perfect for e-sports)!
Weapons are plenty more efficient, assaults are quick and brutal, and long range fights take a new dimension.
You will find 4 different class systems (recon, assault, sniper, saper), a squad system, a new flag system (the energy increases once you've captured the flag) and many features that will allow a faster and tenser gameplay. The system of " prestige points" has been kept, but adapted for the new gameplay.


Implemented features (Done):

• new maps (seven maps actually) with new ambience. Most of theses maps have been set for infantry oriented gameplay.

Ich persönlich finde das sich das alles echt geil anhört.
Auch die ersten Screens sehen gut aus. Das kann eine sehr sher gute Mod werden wenn sie es alles auch umsetzten.

Auch das mit den Charaktern usw. ist sehr cool.


HINWEIS:
Dies soll ein Diskussions und Sammelthread werden.

Jo habs schon auf Crymod entdeckt

sieht echt Hammer aus, vorallem, weil ich schon 3-4 Jahre lang BF gezockt habe und es mich immerweider freut wenn so ein Mod auf die CryEngine2 gemacht wird

Echt der Wahnsinn, das neue Manü ist echt geil, die Szenarien von der Map und die Waffen sind auch echt der blanke Wahnsinn

Auch das der Nanosuit komplett weg ist, ist auch ein richtiger Unterschied ... normale Soldaten fighten sich in Crysis und man ist da einer selber....ist echt nice...glaub sogar der erste Mod der wo sowas aufbaut und das mit richtig viel Potenzial

Was soll man dazu sagen, wie es ausschaut sind die balb fertig^^

Battlefield Crysis is coming on the earth^^

Das wird echt ne Abwechslung^^

Naja was sollste dazu sagen? HAMMER

Naja bald fertig ist gut. Laut Crymod DataBase haben se 40% der Mod fertig.
Wenn sie sich ran halten schaffen sie evtl. dieses jahr noch nen RLS, aber leiber net drängeln, soll ja super werden.

(MWLL soll aber so wie es aussieht im Winter kommen [die hatten aber Pre-SDK von daher])

Ja....die Maps sehen schon aus als würden die noch an Design und so fehlen....also ich denke mal das die GameRules für die Multiplayerphase alles schon fertig ist...

es fehlt eigentlich denke ich mir nur an der Balance von den Maps und so...

Alles andere, sprich die Programmierarbeiten haben die ja schon fertig...

Was mich positiv überrascht ist die Models der Waffen...mal schauen was dann besser aussehen wird....CrysisStandardWaffen oder die, von den Mod bzw. welche mehr bringen

Sonst will keiner die Mod näher betrachten oder noch bischen diskutieren über die Mod?

[Pat21]

Sieht alles sehr vielversprechend aus.
Hoffe, dass die fertig gemacht wird.
