KF like BB ?

[Acid]

Just wondering if any if the devs (yes, all 2-3 of em) have ever played BrainBread (HL Mod).
And also, will you be able to buy everything, or are you limited to carry one handgun, one melee weapon, and 2 main guns....or something like that....

There are no such things as "main guns" or "secondary guns" or any of that bullshit.

Each weapon has a "weight" value applied to it, and you cannot exceed a certain maximum weight. So you could carry a slew of lightweight weaponry. But if you tried to carry around two varieties of shotguns and a L.A.W you might have to sacrifice the L.A.W for something lighter.

RPG style works as well

ahh a good idea indeed.

oh oh oh i play bb!!! i luv that mod!!! i have completelly turned my bb into resident evil style...i got the models skins sounds and maps i even used some cs sounds and firearms sounds to make the weapons sound better...mainly seeing as my mp5 is a model of a silenced mp5 so i went and got the firearms mp5 silenced sound...but anyways bb is awesome but unfortunatly has limitations to it...ut2k4's engine has more power to it and allows the dev team more playing around and modding capabilities then hl1 does...but still BB IS AWESOME LOL!!!

I tried Brainbread and Killing Floor crushes it. I played the first release, so my impressions may be obsolete. The maps were too small, zombies too easy, and not really scary at all. Although, the new splattering zombie effects were cool. But the Half Life engine is getting ancient. The lack of ragdoll animations is beginning to feel strange for me.

Killing Floor, from what little we've seen, has a much better feel. The graphics and design, the whole look is very impressive. And it has a lot more going for it with the buy menu and whatnot.

For a good multiplayer coop vs. zombies in HL, search for Sven Coop servers running They Hunger. Great stuff.

Well i played BB for a while too, and the effort they put into the mod is evident but, (and not to plug Killing Floor) Brainbread lacks atmosphere because the Half life engine is just so old at this point, it is unable to create a tense atmosphere. And while the body part removal system is nice, it is also more or less useless considering that as you stated, there are no sorts of ragdolling on the zombies.

I think the main issue is, that the engine is just a real P.O.S

and another problem ive found with BB is...it often lags .. ALOT, anc considering the graphics, i found that pretty insulting


one of the main things we're combatting in KF right now, is making it run fast AND look awesome.

I mean, Invasion was never intended to support the kind of detail we're pushing on our zombies. Have you seen the UT2k4 invasion creatures? They're uber ugly for a REASON. Also, they do not use Ragdoll or environmental physics.

[Acid]

I dont think BB went for the scary atmosphere, more for the survival part. And in that they have succeded if you ask me. Yeah, the graphics suck, but hell I still play System Shock 2 and those graphics are horrid (but the atmosphere is more pointed towards horror-survival then again). Else, I haven't experienced any lag issues with BB O.o

For another coop vs zombie mod, try Zombie Panic. (Note that I didnt say it was good)

Anyways, the invasion monsters are from the very first Unreal. Was kinda surprised the first time I played invasion to see those bastards again.

brainbread is awesome...the newer stuff like version 1.2 is nice the levels are MUCH bigger more detailed etc etc as for no ragdoll...dont seem to bother me much...besides coop mods or games are few and far between these days...they are making a comeback like in GC2 but most games go for the boring dm,tdm,ctf crap...i also play system shock 2 with the rebirth addons its awesome me and my friend have lanned on that and beatin it like 4 or 5 times and its still the best ;D i saw a mod team making an system shock mod for hl2 which would freakin rule!!! cant remember where i saw it but i know it is out there somewhere...

[Acid]

I dont think I've ever finished SS2 in MP or SP.
Too scared.
Although I do enjoy playing a hacker.

[Saint]

lol i was psi core...my mind was my weapon > : ) and the psi ops thingy on my guys arm but details details how far did u get in ss2?

[Nupraptor]

Can't say I care for BrainBread at all. Maybe if it came out about 3-4 years ago.

There's also a "Dawn of the Dead" mod in progress for Half-Life 2, but it looks terrible, IMO. The mod makers completely don't understand zombies.

[Slinky]

I agree it's WAY too glossy. One thing that really bothers me is that since it's a CS mod, they have the buy thing going on already, and it's like... idunno. I feel like we've lost just that much of what we had. The point divvy system will make it more fun, though, I think. *grins*

rofl how did u know u meet shodan? walkthrough? lev 3 was annoying in order to get to chem lab u had to battle through entire level...it was kinda annoying also with all the cyborg female's running around (cant remember thier name's) i feel sorry for you for being a hacker though lol when u get really for into the game ur going to have probs...best advice i can say is get psi and get tier 5 desiple and then get the barrier or shield wall or whatever it is...that thing saved my ass more times then i can remember...also invisibility would be the next critical one...and ammo LOTS AND LOTS OF AMMO!!! i cant stress this enough lol...get a recycler and recycle everything u can find...books,cups magazine's,plants and anything else u can just to get as many nanites as possible and then hack the cheapest terminal u can find and buy nothing but ammo...then with psi get medical capabilities and vwolah u should have a much easier time later on...trust me lol ;D
