First Look: Black Widow

[hal]

Well, we've posted about Black Widow one other time, but we'll count this as our first full look at it, mmkay?

Black Widow is a team-based multiplayer mod built off Unreal technology. Taking place in a post-apocalyptic European setting, BW will strike a balance between realistic and arcade style gameplay, while pushing the envelope of mod design. Our core team has developed internally playable builds, and the project is 30% complete. Public releases to follow.

The team is currently looking for qualified individuals (with examples of work, please) to assist with the mod. If you are interested contact franklin_beans@planetunreal.com. Include links to your work.
