Crysis Mod: Obsidian Edge II: Theatre of War

Today we will officially announce Obsidian Edge II: Theatre of War. It is another chosen Crysis modification which will work with a pre-SDK and receives support from Crytek. Below you can find a description of the project itself:


"If it felt any more real, you'd bleed"

Obsidian Edge II: "Theatre of War" (working title) is the groundbreaking sequel to Obsidian Edge being created for Crytek's up coming first person shooter Crysis. With intense realism as well as new game features never before seen in a first person shooter - it will forever change the way you think a first person shooter should be played.

Get ready for edge-of-your-seat action - You will be required to lead assaults on enemy held positions, seek out and eliminate hostiles, perform coordinated missions, and fight for your own survival. In each case you will need to outfit your squad with the proper weapons and equipment, carefully plan your actions with your team, and then execute your plan in order to achieve the objective.

The world of Obsidian Edge is extremely unforgiving. Be ready to test your nerves, tactics and skill against opponents who are just as determined to eliminate you as you are to eliminate them. As your skills sharpen, so do theirs. As your strategy changes, so does theirs. As your teammates rush in, so do theirs. As you put them in your crosshairs, they do the same to you.

Are you ready for Obsidian Edge?

================================================== ==============

es wird jetzt bald, sobald die o2 website fertig ist, in bestimmten zeitabständen immer ein development update zur mod geben!

ich bin sehr gespannt, bei dem mod team, das wird der hammer 8)

gibt schon 2 interview faq´s mit dem oe2 team :wink:

interview @evogaming


interview @crysis-online

Hoffe mal das der Mod auch so gut wird wie der in BF2 der PoE2 Mod!
Der is einfach der Hammer schlecht hin und macht n heiden Spaß, und wir alle lieben ihn und daddeln ihn auch lieber als BF2 selbst, auch wenn wa da in der 4on4 spielen!

Hi Guys, Apologies for the English, Perhaps I should have pcp do the translations for me ;)
Some news from the OE2 team.

Following the re-launch of our website www.obsidianedge.net we are delighted to bring you the first of our monthly media releases: OE2 October Update which is also mirrored on Crytek’s Crymod The release primarily focuses on where Obsidian Edge came from and how we are going about the new release. Also it features the first of our finished models, including an M67 Fragmentation Grenade, an M84 Stun Grenade, an Mk.23 Mod 0 sidearm and the centre piece for this release, the Leopard 2A6 Battle Tank, which absolutely took my breath away.

Just in case you missed them you can also click here for our Q&A sessions with
Crysis Online & Evolution Gaming

Any and all feedback always welcome, either here or on our forums.
www.obsidianedge.net

Obsidian Edge 2 is one of two modifications selected by Crytek to receive access to the Crysis Pre-SDK and receive support from Crytek during development.

extrem geiles update von dem polishing weevhils teem, die render der waffen und des panzers sind unglablich detailliert, bin schon sehr gespannt auf das nächste update :wink:

auf www.crymod.com findet ihr auch die komplette media

Jaaa die Jungs sind spitze,

hm ich frag mich, machen die so gute Texturen oder gibt es hohe Polygrenzen :P

die polygongrenzen in crysis sind enorm hoch, zb, haben die fahrzeuge rund 65000 polygone, was man gut hier sehen kann:

http://www.dumpanimage.com/up/t2/200...exTekzYqYZ.jpg

genauso hat sich natürlich auch die texturgrösse deutlich verbessert, und in crysis wirst du keine 512 texturen mehr finden, da können wir uns alle auf was mächtig geniales gefasst machen :wink:

oh mein gott und ich hab mich geplagt unser schönes speedbike auf 30k herunterzubringen... jz kann ichs wieder removen *freu * *hehe* ^^

coole sache,... omg ich freu mich schon so aufs SDK *hach*

30k muss doch nicht zu wenig sein, wenn man gut moddeln kann, ausserdem kann man ja heute durch polybumb etc, noch ne menge mehr aus kleinen polygonzahlen machen, aber crytek will bei crysis halt einfach mal alles extrem haben 8)

ja dass is klar, aber wenn ich bedenke dass das Ausgangsmodell gute 379k hatte ... ises schon ein gigantischer qualiverlust, und da kommen 60k doch wie gerufen ;)

weiß man auch schon über die Waffen bescheid? welche Polygrenzen da sind?


Polybump... nun ja... klar.. nur muss man das erst lernen :twisted: Ich kanns noch nicht ^^

mmh, da hat man noch nichts zu gesagt, aber ich würde so für ne pistol 4k-5k schätzen, aufwendigere waffen halt mehr, aber wenn du ne mod machen willst, solltest du polybumb lernen, ist echt was richtig feines :wink:

so, nun aber langsam wieder OnTopic, dieser thread soll ja schliesslich um Obsidian Edge 2 handeln

Crysis-HQ 8)

Tnx Foofi :)

I plan to build a good SP Map. Maybe a MOD at later time. But as you said... time is a problem and to find others which can help/support you.

I can build good maps (I think ;)), import 3D Studio MAX models (static) and add extern textures to my maps BUT scripting and creating dynamic models (new monsters for example) is not my strengh.

In case that the Crysis editor is similar to the FarCry editor, I'll have more fun with maping than with playing :cool:. It was the same with FarCry ;).

HERE you can find two of my maps!

Leute ich denke wir dürfen uns in nächster Zeit auf großartiges Material von dem Mod freuen, habe diese comments auf Incrysis gefunden:

http://incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic...d=35313#p35313
http://incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic...d=35492#p35492

Besonders der zweite Post von Doc macht echt lust auf mehr, ich hoffe das Material wird wirklich in den nächsten Wochen veröffentlicht :)
http://incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic...d=35621#p35621

So Zweites großes Update
http://www.obsidianedge.net/index.ph...&id=85&Itemid=
;)

endlich ...

sieht doch schon recht fett aus, die render aus der ce1, aber hoffentlich verbessert sich noch die polyanzahl in der ce2, dass sieht noch recht arm aus, für crysis verhältnisse, aber daskommt sicher noch, die waffen und fahrzeug render waren ja auch schön detailliert, wenn sie dass beim environment auch hinkriegen, und die gametypes von der community gut angenommen werden, steht einem oft gespielten mod nichts mehr im wege.

auch cool zu hören, dass sie crysis beta testen, bin gespannt, wie der mp in der retail später laüft :)

nice update, keep up the good work

Ich denke es ist nur das SDK gemeint, nicht das Spiel selbst.

While it is a great honour to be selected to utilise the Crysis Pre-SDK, we also are effectively beta testing it for Crytek, so the going can often be slow.

oe is einfach geil!in fc wars schon der hammer und crysis wird bestimmt noch besser.

Correct guys, through our development we are beta testing the SDK/SB2/Engine, we are not officially testing the game (Crysis).

And yes, wait till you see these Environs in the CE2, thats where they really come to life 8)

When will you approximately release this stuff :?:

Keep it up!
You are doing great work :wink:

You mean the full release or new media images?

We are looking to release a couple of months after Crysis is launched.

We will be releasing more images as they become available, hopefully at 30 to 45 day intervals, along with more details on the new game modes.

I cant say for sure when we will be able to release the CE2 renders, but as soon as we can, trust me we wont be holding them back :P

Thanks for the praise, it means a lot to the guys to get feedback, bad feedback is great if its constructive, but we prefer good feedback! :lol:

slack-jaw, modeler von oe2 hat übrigens vor kurzem auch das team verlassen, schade zu hören, seine modelle waren immer erstklassig :?

Ah PD, you want to see what Manglord is up to... :twisted:

There has already been a sneak preview of reference shots and concept models from one of his maps. If you know and love his work, take a look back at our Q&As and the two media releases... its obvious now I've mentioned it ;)

Also we just recruited another well know mapper from the FC community... :P

InCrysis hat ein neues komplettes Q&A:

The Polishing Weevils, makers of Obsidian Edge 2 – an officially supported Crysis mod have kindly answered some questions regarding the development of their mod, the Sandbox tool and their relationship with Crytek.

Also released are two new renders by Stefan Morrell.

From your updates, it appears that the overall development of OE2 is progressing well. While we don’t have a concrete release date for Crysis, is it still you intention to deliver OE2 a few months after its official release?

Absolutely!
One of our biggest regrets was that OE1 released so long after Far Cry was launched. As a result a whole generation of players had already moved on, mostly never to return. By releasing within a few months of Crysis, we hope to give some time for people to enjoy Crysis in all its glory, and then be ready for something a little different (OE2).

You’ve announced a few different game types - is there is particular focus on a single game type that you see being a sort of unique crown performer? (…much like Power Struggle in Crysis)

While there is a trend in the industry at the moment to have a defining game mode, you are, to a degree, putting all your eggs in one basket. We feel that since so many game types have binding elements, producing a strong core mechanic and branching into varied game types still seams to be a worthwhile investment.

Each of the new/revised game modes are unique, each will have their own appeal. Almost all of them are designed to be E-Sports friendly. If you are looking for a comparison, with power struggle, then I suppose that it would have to be All Out War, which we will cover in detail in the coming months, but it is essentially a large scale battle where the control of key areas will provide realistic benefits to the team, that will promote some intriguing strategies. We really cannot wait to play this mode ourselves!

Can you elaborate more on why OE2 is considered a "consequential" form of game play? Can you detail a particular scenario where this would be vividly existent?

Well, in one scenario, imagine squad of 5 where player A is asked by the squad leader to cover your right flank. That player decides that covering the flank is boring, he wants to climb the hill behind so he can snipe the enemy and rack up a mountain, if you will excuse the pun, of kills. The consequence of his decision is that his team’s flank is unprotected and their position is overrun without any warning by an attack from that side. The team loses the round, the players will suffer a global scoring penalty because of the defeat. We have had long and detailed discussions to see if we can find a way to individually penalize the person responsible, and we are trying to get a fair balance, which only extensive play testing can validate.

In the reverse scenario, a team mate is wounded to the extent that they cannot move from the cover point they are in. The teams are finely balanced, but the wounded player is actually one of your best men. Three choices exist: (1) Ignore the player; (2) Administer first-aid only (Medic); (3) Transport the player back to the Field Hospital for full recovery. Through your medic initially performing first aid and then returning the player to the field hospital, he can receive sufficient treatment to rejoin the game in a more effective manner. As a result of the medical treatment, you are able to bring your full team skills to bear and win an unlikely victory. The team, the medic and the wounded soldier will receive positive recognition for their team and individual successes.

What sort of support is Crytek providing? To what degree will Crytek influence and shape the overall feel of the mod?

Crytek are providing technical advice for the new engine and some PR support through the mirroring of our updates on Crymod. While our primary contact is Alexander Marschal, Crytek’s Community Manager, we also have access to their modelers, coders and map makers. We hope in the long run to receive more assistance from EA Games, so far our liaison with them has been limited to being featured on their German Crysis Community site following our interview with www.CrysisNews.de

During discussions with respect to receiving this exclusive access to the Pre-SDK, Crytek described their vision for the Crysis MP games, and asked whether we could synergistically dovetail in to provide alternatives to them. With Obsidian Edge 1 as an example of our work, and through our already well advance Design Document, we were able to demonstrate a clear road map for the direction that OE2 would take. We are pleased to say that Crytek appear to have agreed with our feeling that we ticked the right boxes!

Without disclosing anything specific, how are you finding the Pre-SDK compares to the CryEngine Sandbox 1? Has the transition been a smooth one?

So far, the transition is going smoothly, as we have mentioned in the past, Crytek have been providing us with new revisions of the SDK as and when they have new functionality. Regular users of SB1 should have no difficulty in learning to use SB2.

Is there anything you would recommend to those developing non official Crysis Mods without the Pre-SDK tool and other key fundamental technical understandings so as not to waste development time?

Yes, but unfortunately not just yet...
We are going to be releasing an interview we have worked on with Crytek in the run up to GDC; we hope that will provide some clear guidance to teams not in our privileged position.

You’ve had some difficulties in the past with changeovers in the staff. How challenging has it been to recruit and manage such a range of staff members with such diverse skill sets?

It’s been challenging on occasions!
The need for staff changeovers was unfortunate but unavoidable, On a team this size (25+) you will eventually run into conflicts that need to be resolved. While some people are no longer part of the team, we wish them well and thank them for their contributions towards making Obsidian Edge so keenly anticipated by the Crysis community.

The recruiting process is more labour intensive than we envisaged!
Like a sporting franchise manager, you can imagine us starting off with a few transfer targets that we wanted on the team, and happily we managed to get most of them, even if we had to wait a while for some that were busy on other projects. Then there was the sheer weight of public applications that needed screening initially for quality. We are very conscious of the unique position we are in and while the Non-Disclosure-Agreement (NDA) that each individual has to sign protects Crytek and their IPR, each applicant was interviewed on several occasions to ensure that they were likely to add to the team on both professional and personal levels.

Are there opportunities for someone wanting to get involved with the development of OE2?

Well, the actual design has been pretty solid for almost a year now, but obviously it will remain flexible until we have sufficiently play tested Obsidian Edge 2. At this point we are still recruiting experienced animators and weapons modelers (portfolio required). Following the release of Crysis we may expand our team for closed beta testing ahead of public release.

Some Mods have become hugely popular due to their intuitive game play and mass market appeal. What sort of strategy are you taking to ensure that OE2 receives the true appreciation and fame that it deserves?

There has been a huge attention to detail applied at all stages of the design, residing on the Cryengine2, an amazing platform, Obsidian Edge 2 will be a unique game that satisfies the growing expectations of the modern gamer.

We know we are going to produce a game that will have long lasting appeal for us, and hopefully for the fans we have picked up along the way. Another aspect of our strategy is the aforementioned timing of the release. Where OE1 had about 100,000 downloads, we anticipate five to ten times as many downloads for OE2, which we hope will result in a much larger community of players. Will we achieve that critical mass that sees a game make the transition from the numbers that play Far Cry to the numbers that play BF2? We certainly hope so, and we are doing our best to get as much public recognition for Obsidian Edge 2 as possible ahead of the release. One area we have struggled in so far is catching the eye of the gaming press. We hope that as we release more details, and with a little help from our friends we will make it impossible for them to ignore us any longer.

Lastly, is there anything additional that you think may be of value to the wider audience out there?

Yes. Talk to us!
You know where to find us; www.ObsidianEdge.net or if you post in a thread that we have on your regular boards we will respond. While we have a vision and a design in place, we have and will continue to listen to the feedback we get from sites like inCrysis. As an example, we have developed the Defiance game type in direct response to public feedback; as little as 4 months ago, it wasn’t in our list of game modes. We like to hear what people are thinking!

Thanks for the opportunity to talk to the inCrysis community Matthew!

Kind Regards

The Polishing Weevils

He heh...
Almost there guys, update will be released in a few more days...
We hope you will like what we reveal...

Hi all,

Our May update has been released and includes a world exclusive; the first public view of our in game screen shots with the CryEngine2....

This one is only concept art, but it gives a flavour for the images you can find on our site www.ObsidianEdge.net

http://www.obsidianedge.net/images/r...01d752.jpg.jpg

Comments as always are appreciated

What an update, very nice :)
I like these three Screens most:

http://www.obsidianedge.net/images/r...ate_02h832.jpg


Like most of you, I have seen all of the videos and thought I knew what I was going to be experiencing. I was wrong. Everything you've seen so far cannot prepare you for the feel of being in this game. You think you know what it's going to feel like...you're wrong. It's overwhelming...I was literally stunned. It does not feel like any game ever made. Watching one player cap a sniper and then couldn't find the weapon in the underbrush...unbelievable.

Well, that really makes me impatient ^^

Topic Fix.

Zu OE gibts ein Update, habe grad ne Mail von Crytk erhalten, werde Material uploaden und dazu ne News schreiben.

Wow sieht klasse aus 8)

8O 8O Sieht ja Hammer fett aus :D :!:

Würde mich mal interessieren, ob das DX9 oder DX10 Screens sind :?:

das frage ich grad mal nach!

These are only DX9...

We cant let you see everything too soon ;)

Thanks for the good comments guys, it means a lot to the team!

Wow NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

@CuZ
Can't wait to see them in DX10 :cool:. REALLY GOOD screens :!:

Thanks guys, like Soroc said, we have had permanent silly grins on our faces lately! :lol:

These are only DX9...

I can't believe that this is dx9 :D (how awesome will this look in dx10? 8O)

As said before, very nice update, i am waiting for an ingame trailer :P

Allein schon anhand dieses Screenshot oben kann man doch schon sehr gut sehen, dass die vorherigen Vergleichsvideos "DX9_DX10 Hunter" und "DX9_DX10 Dschungelkampf" Verarschung sind.
Oder was meint ihr?

Mike wenn du wissen möchtest was wir dazu meinen und wieso wir es so meinen,schau dir diesen Thread an Dx9 vs Dx10
und lasst bitte dieses 1 jahr alte Video endlich mal ausser acht.



btt:
Also ,es kann doch nichts besseres für uns geben,als kurz nach Crysis release,so eine Bomben Mod.
Danke sehr

Die Screens sind alle sehr sexy - auch wenn man kein Crysis mögen sollte, sind solche Modifikationen auch ein Grund sich Crysis zuzulegen!

die screens zeigen eindrucksvoll was man mit der cryengine2 noch so machen kann ausser jungel levels! das dürfte bestimmt viele leute ansprechen, die mit palmen nix am hut haben wollen!

Ich kann kaum glauben, dass es "nur" eine Mod ist ^^

Yeah, you do really an excellent job :) I like it ;) Just go on mapping :P

Crysis Online hat ein paar neue Renderbilder (sind nicht aus der CE2)

Saw the rendering farm house a few days ago in Jericho,... And I just can say, i like your model more then that one :D

Hi Guys,
Summer media update is now available on www.ObsidianEdge.net
It includes a 46MB Download of hi res copies of the screenshots in the article

1.Habe ich beim release oder kurz nach release geschrieben(hier halte ich mir natürlich den Zeitraum offen :P)?
2.Die Jungs wurden nicht umsonst ausgewählt.Haben ein Team aus fast 30 erfahrenen Sandbox moddern!Die arbeiten schon im Profi Niveau!Schau dir doch mal ihre 3D artists und coder an!
3.Sie waren die ersten ,die den Pre-SDK bekommen haben!
4.Wir wissen doch garnicht wie weit sie schon sind?
5.Sind doch auch ein paar Ingame shots dabei!

Im struggling with the translations there, but yes, we will release shortly after Crysis (60-90 Days)

We have a track record from OE1 and the butchering of Far Cry in patch 1.4 ;)

We were the 1st independent team to be selected by Crytek for access to the Crysis PreSDK.

Our progress is dictated by the functionallity of the builds we receive from Crytek... We are not in a position to show in game footage yet, but as MikeM says, there are in engine screen caps.

Hope that helps, and since its over the page, for those wondering, the Summer update was released today!

@CuZ
I'll (or maybe foofi if he is faster) post a News when I'm at home (in 2 hours). BTW: Thanks for the information!

EDIT: News & Media files are Online now :).

@Deutsche/Germans
Versucht doch bitte in Englisch zu schreiben (in diesem Beitrag) soweit ihr das könnt. Das CuZ auch versteht was wir schreiben.

That is simply ingenious, many thanks for the information.
It´s great, that you are finished the mod in only 60-90 days after release.

I hope that you have many pics from directx 10 for us;-)

I´m very strained.

Danke Warpspeed!

Megaman, all of these shots are still only rendered in DX9, but when the time it right we will unwrap DX10 ones :razz:

really nice to read :-D CRYTEK itself is primary using DX9 in all demos

... btw. how many % of the gamers may use vista before SP1 ;-)

one more time bombastic screenshots...!

very good work guys!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, Im not getting Vista myself till after SP1...
@Foofi, notice we made sure we got another Greek guy just for you :razz:

Hi Guys,
As you may have seen from our home page, we are back in production again after our Crytek enforced hibernation. The delay has cost us in the availability of our Level designers and modellers/texture artists though.

If anyone at Crysis-HQ is interested in filling these roles, please get in touch on our website www.Obsidianedge.net

Look out for some exciting news in the coming weeks 8-)

Great news! I hope your mod will be comparable to Project Reality BF2-Mod.

Hello CuZ - good luck for the Team, i hope to see your Modification soon.

----------

@Admin, das wäre ne News wert. Es gibt hier ne menge Leute, die Modtechnisch was drauf haben.

@alle Modder - Die polishing weevils haben was drauf. Nutzt diese Chance - ein Versuch kostet nix - nur der skill zählt.

sieht verdammt gut und professionel aus!

Weiss man ungefähr wann man mit der Mod rechnen kann?

Alter Schwede, wie hast du das alles gemacht ?:grin:

Das ist mit Aurora, einer der besten Mods die ich bis jetzt gesehen habe !!

olé, die Mod lebt! Sichtbar! Sehr gut sieht das aus, wie gewohnt...seit damals...irgendwann...
Es gab schon gute Gründe, dass sie das Pre-SDK erhalten haben...hoffentlich kommen sie jetzt wieder voll in Fahrt.
Auf, ihr Pros, meldet euch bei ihnen und helft, die Mod schnell fertig zu stellen:cool:

Äääähh....olé, the mod has returned! Looks very good, just as good as we were used to it... years ago...
I hope the mod team has regained full energy and perhaps full modding speed;-)
Come on, skilled level designers of Crysis-HQ: Help this team to try and finish their project as soon as possible: I want to play:cool:

Klasse Bilder.
Das letzte auf der ersten Seite gefällt mir besonders.
Da kommt so eine schöne Mafiaatmosphäre auf8-)
