NEOTOKYO° Released

[Pikarya]

erik grant (originally made the ironsight system for insurgency) actually suggested they not use it in neotokyo. Mainly due to the a lot of limitations the source engine currently has on bobbing, movement, and freeplay on the gun WHILE shooting causing severe inaccuracies that should not be present.

If you play Insurgency, or know anyone that plays its often. You'll notice, or they will probably say the iron sights in the game range from slightly, to wayyyyy off. Especially with the M16/etc. While a lot of new players getting used to the game might think this is purposely intended, its actually a problem they can't fix.

While it is nice to have a short realism affect on shot in real life (causing temporary blind spots around the iron sight in certain distances). I can see why they really want to try to avoid it to focus on other things that severely need to be adjusted.

To be honest, with as much smack as I've heard in the past from the developers over how much they hate the source engine. I'm surprised they are still moving with it. (But I guess it sure beats the neotokyo mod they tried with UT2K4 by a million miles).

Ghost will be made so it cannot be thrown off the buildings of maps such as Rise/etc. by griefers or simple accidents.

haha... I actually used this. Only when I was last one on my team... holding the ghost. I would toss it down so the enemy team couldn´t find my recon.

the thing that i dont like is they dont have crosshair when shooting... you'd have to right click to aim which is lame...

Personally, in a more realistic setting of combat I can see why they chose to go that route.

But anyways, I personally never play with a crosshair. Even in TF2/DoD Source I purposely turn it off, same goes for viewmodels.

did they make teammates more visible yet?

No client patches have been released yet.

Pretty sure they stopped registrations for a bit because of problems with moderation and all the spamming/thread dupes going on in tech/suggestion forums.

I'll PM an admin if I get a chance. As for the the controller support, I'm not sure if the the Source SDK version they are currently using even supports it. Since it was only made possible in January of 2009 with TF2 as the guinea pig (360 controller support).

Spoiler: show

It's a fucking PC game. CoD was originally a pc game. MOUSE + KEYBOARD. CUSTOMIZE TO YOUR LIKING. FUCK.

Oh Gabe, you fat fuck.

As for the current state of the mod. The manpower they had has mostly now moved over to Valve (only 3 1/2 volunteer developers are still left from the original project team).
