[VIDEO!] Expansion Pack - DF: Orbit
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:47 pm
A quick fly-around in one of the maps I created for Dogfight mode, which you should be experiencing in just over a week or so.
Dogfight is an aircraft-combat based mode for Multiplayer, various new maps and adapted old ones provide you with large open areas, tight valleys and low bridges. Most interesting is the 'Lucky Dip' weapon spawn system. Having Lucky Dip mode on means that all weapon crates are swapped out for randomised ones, meaning you won't know whats in the box until you grab it! Lucky dip mode off returns weapon crates to the standard BZ2-deathmatch style spawning system.
There are currently around 8 maps. Rogue takes you underground into Core's failing defense grid which fires off at random. Get caught in a laser-grid and you're toast. Orbit takes you out of the Earth's atmosphere to a small asteroid field, showered with flaming destructive meteorites.
'Orbit' was my attempt at creating a realistic and reliable space environment in BZ2's engine. I feel I did quite well...
Watch here in 720p for best results!
