wow krusty, is anything good in your world?

You may or may not be new here. Don't know if you're the TexasTC in-game or a different one. Regardless, months on end of the same map, the same situation, the same team being gangbanged into a corner, the same lopsided annoying gameplay. Hell we've only had the map in LWO now for less than a week and I'm already sick of it. Can you imagine almost a year of the same old maps? Folks are crying out for new maps and we've ONLY just now got some new ones in rotation from the last terrain update.

Looking at the screenshot Denholm posted, it looks like this will be a major revision. I love the way it looks, but you know this is going to limit us to ndisles or whichever default map HTC updates, and no other maps will work with the new terrain system.

I just want them to put a lot of effort into ONE update, then leave the terrain for a while. Until the day comes when updating or creating new maps is less painful than pulling teeth, we just can't re-do the maps we have to keep up with the graphics updates.

This screenshot is just a rough-in of our working test version so take it for what it is. The current terrains will not be made obsolete by this update although they will need some additional work to look their best.

Krusty, Krusty. Looks like that will not be happening. ;)

HTC is just updating terrains so they can implement really long runways for a certain really big plane.  :D

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Krusty, isn't happy, unless he has something to bi+ch about. :furious   You know how oldtimers get when you change things on them.   We'll hear stories for hours, about how things were different "back in the day", :furious and how "you  newbies just don't understand", :furious eventually he'll talk himself out and forget what he was originally complaining about.  :frown:
