Really though, my expectations are SUPER HIGH. I think FF will easily replace my ex-obsession with ETF/Q3F. Plus, I just like the people here.

Also, to keep on topic of the update I'll point out something I noticed. I love how different each class looks. There is no way you can mistake them for anyother class from a distance and also your team colors seem to be very bright and vivid. Thank god!

I remember the first release of ETF, the team colors were very dark and some of the classes didn't have 'enough' team coloring present in their uniform. God that was crappy. Especially when sniping without zoom.

Basically, I love the vivid coloring of the classes. Great job!

Part of dr_nick, rebo and the skinners' jobs was to ensure that all classes were readily identifiable at nearly all view distances and I think they've definitely done a great job in that respect

Yeah, you're correct. Think of it as a "tiered" beta, where we start with a giving FF to a small number of people (heck, the dev team alone is a pretty decent sized group) and squash the bugs those folks find. Then we make the beta group bigger and bigger until we're ready to hand it out to everyone.

Looking good.

Just a concern, looking at the soldier jumping in the SD2 switch room... are the realism of actual actors(is that the right term? the actual characters/classes) going to look fine doing all that jumpy sort of bunnyhop action? the Soldier just looks a tad serious, and with the HL2 engine too(actors?!), just thought it'd be a good question?!(actors????????1)

I love the update. I kept saying a beta/release was coming soon but damn you, I'll be in Florida from the 7-14th. Blaaaaaaaaaah.

Will you invite people or will there be application forms of sorts?

o_shadow34721 · 07-17-2006, 12:27 AM

with this beta give mappers what they need to fully implement their maps?

i am really jealous of one of your textures.

o_ivaqual · 07-17-2006, 12:28 AM

which one is the coolest pic?

o_sobe green · 07-17-2006, 12:31 AM

I can't quite grasp how TFC on Source could be anything else other than FF. I'd swear it was all photoshop work if you had shown me this years and years ago. You guys never cease to amaze.

I want some of that Pyro baaad.

o_ivaqual · 07-17-2006, 12:32 AM

I'm going to swear freely and say holy shit I just love the style of the models.. They look GREAT. That sentry is badass, but the player models really take the cake.

the bunnyhopping soldier reminds me of how the hopping looked during the WON.NET TFC days. I like how they look swinging the legs and stuff, thats what made TFC funny.

o_angsta · 07-17-2006, 12:37 AM

OMG .. I guess I'll have to leave out one summer event to get the money I need for a new pc in time

... Not really...

Well....okay, I admit, im serious :P
