Hi all :)
Well, as a couple of you are probably vaguely aware, I'm working on a weapon mutator package at the moment. Basically most of the major grunt work is done now and I'm just polishing things up and adding a few other little extras to it, so I thought it was about time I pimped the package a bit :D
Info on what's included:
Every weapon has been changed/ replaced. The weapons are all very powerful, but I've also spent a considerable amount of time testing them and balancing everything nicely too (Super Weapons are currently being left at default but I may change them yet).
Some new skins for a few of the weapons (to distinguish them a bit):
Assault Rifle, Minigun, Rocket Launcher and Lightning Gun.
Lots of new weapon firing effects and eye candy.
4 Adrenaline Combo moves.
2 slight variants on the Adrenaline pickup (for those of you who actually use the stuff ;) ) including a different skin.
4 additional mutators (all of which are incredibly useful with the more powerful weaponry):
Health replacer that replaces all standard health pickups with the big keg.
Shield replacer - does the same but Super shield obviously.
Mini-Udamage pickups relpacing the mini health pickups (the minihealth is more or less useless with my weapons; miniudamage is lots of fun). Effects only last for 15 seconds instead of 30 though.
Super Ammo Regen - regenerates 5 ammo per second; very useful (due to high rate of fire on the weapons). The weapons are usable without this mut though, but it's more fun not having to worry about ammo :D
And a possible 5th addition to the mutators that I'm working on at the moment.
The game is very playable with my weapons on all game types except Bombing Run (high-powered weapons + not being able to shoot while carrying the ball = death :lol: ). Invasion is incredibly fun.
And lastly for the moment, a nice link to a taster movie I made:
LINKAGE (9mb zip) (http://www.ultimatewarzone.com/downloads/weapons_mov.zip)
Movie is in divx .avi format so you'll need the codec to play it.
And yes I was playing like crap - it's difficult playing properly when you need to fit all the weapons into a 45second movie :lol:
The package will be released soon (2 weeks!!! lol), once I've finished ironing out a few bugs and tweaking it. Until then, enjoy the movie :D
EDIT: Forgot to mention the movie format.
