thanks for the additional links...moley hoses looks great.

Sarge · 06-21-2004, 08:06 PM

I agree, its looking to be quite good.

Dick_Justice · 06-21-2004, 08:27 PM

Are those new ?

Because I just saw the full length E3 trailer in 800x600. Looks very impressive and you see some of the interface etc...

There were some new scenes. Does look good. I should really see if I can upload some screenies.

Edit: How do I make screenshots from a movie and where are they saved ?

r4g3d · 06-21-2004, 08:53 PM

Those movie are kinda old now, the frist link is 'rare' compared to the second.

What you mean Dick_Justice?

Dick_Justice · 06-22-2004, 10:12 AM

Well, I have the full length E3 movie on a DVD and there are some scenes not shown in the downloadable trailer.

Stuff like the new character creator and the new com-interface. I though people might be interested in seeing those.

Yet if I hit the "Print" button during the trailer and paste it into paint, I only get darkgreen. No pics...

Rexxie · 06-22-2004, 10:49 AM

That's cause its DirectX. However, if you use a program like say BSPlayer (my favourite) to view movies, you can just press P and it will save a snap of the frame.

urseus · 06-22-2004, 03:12 PM

HA cool. In that interview where somone asks "will all of the terrain be destructable?" they responded no because it radically reduces game enjoyability. Just like i was saying, they playtested it with fully destructable stuff and they were left with a flat piece of land and some rubble, because like children all gamers want to blow something up if it can be.

I should be emperor.

r4g3d · 06-22-2004, 04:14 PM

Dick, NvDVD (nVidia DVD) also works pretty good.

Deserter · 06-22-2004, 04:19 PM

is there anything wrong with trying to make everything explode?

r4g3d · 06-22-2004, 04:42 PM

yes....cos eventually there will be nothing left and therefore no more fun :P

grim reaper · 06-22-2004, 06:02 PM

bah, you could go diggin for gold or oil, or free hats.

They just said that to answer his question. Enjoying the game has nothing to do with it, we're not at the "completely destructable game" stage yet.

urseus · 06-23-2004, 09:00 AM

And im multiplayer, its a completly unattractive prospect.

Hey, I never said it wasn't cool! It's just that anyone who actually expected BF2 to be completely destructable is an idiot.

NavalLord · 06-23-2004, 08:35 PM

so this means that if someone runs into a bunker then you can shoot the bunker all day and the little guy inside will be safe
stuff should be destructable if someone is in or behind the object, such as a building or a wall

urseus · 06-24-2004, 08:28 AM

Theres a point where realism has to give way to fun. Destroying everything would reduce a maps playability and overall would ruin the way the mapper intended the map to flow.

I never see anyone complaining about how you can just press use and get into a plane, instead of having to open the canopy, sit in, buckle up, warm up the plane, go through level checks, wait for arms to be attached, wait for fuel to be pumped etc.

grim reaper · 06-24-2004, 12:36 PM

should be a server side option, the server can shooes what level of detruction they want.

Guru Imakuni · 06-24-2004, 03:09 PM

Agrghghg1!!!

Why don't you guys get it? Our computers couldn't handle something like that even if the game had completely destructable terrain! What you guys want is GeoMod technology and it sucked pretty bad.

Plus you would have half the people on the server launching explosive ordnance into the ground to make designs.

NavalLord, if you look at a game like America's Army you can shoot through doors and thinner materials.

I do think being able to take out bunkers would be interesting though, just so long as they can be repaired and not on a time limit like artillery bunkers in BF. Just get a wrench/blowtorch and repair.

urseus · 06-24-2004, 03:17 PM

Well maybe your computer couldnt handle it hehe....
