HaJ video

[Hugo.B]

Would it be reasonable to expect a HaJ gameplay video before the game itself is released?
Because I guess that if a picture is worth 1000 words, and a video is recorded @ 30fps and is 1 minute long, that video would be worth 1,800,000 words.
It could save you an awful lot of typing.:biggrin:

There was one video I made back in the days of the earliest alpha. It was a counter attack against the British Airborne trying to capture the Radar site. Sound was crap (was done in fraps) but the video was ok.

We took a decision not to release it as we had a lot of borrowed/placeholder content in it plus we figured people would rip it apart like vultures around a carcass. Sadly people judge games on looks and as this was very early on in development it wasn't that polished.

In short - we didn't want to feed the trolls.

Bungie has been showing some pre-alpha footage of Halo 3, just write in big bold letters that its not polished and that it was work in progress. The only problem with that is that some people will still not read it.

[Arturo]

Yeah, just have patience let them release a decent video.

[Pierog]

we'll make a video right before we're ready to release.

------------ALPHA | BETA ------------------
----------+-------+--------------------------+
---INDIE: | ALPHA | BETA, really means beta! |
----------+-------+--------------------------+
---COMM: | BETA | like final; virtually bugless. |
----------+-------+--------------------------+

"INDIE" :Means mod.s, Open Source, anything other than commercial.
"COMM" : For profit.

[mXed]

[fess]

The forums have never been busy, granted it's particularly quiet atm... and besides spamming away at the forums isn't gonna get the mod out any quicker :D

[zone trooper]

I can wait for the mod, I just would like to see some more people posting more topics, it just makes the forum that more intersting.

[Hugo.B]

Yep, Believe me zonetrooper, everyone is still here, and still checks out the site, but most people are particularly busy right now, and can spare precious little time.

Particularly busy doesn't even begin to describe it :icon_lmao:

I just turned in the last assignment this year ...
four school days left .. then onto preparing for the finals ..

[zone trooper]

I've got my first GCSE exam next week, then its PE exam the next day. I finish school on May 25th but my last exam is on June 14th 2007. Then its 2 months of just plain awesome summer, then its 23rd August and I get my GCSE results back, if I pass 5 of them, 3 of them must be english, maths and science then I can go to the Colleage I want to. I've already got 1 GCSE already which is ICT and I got "B" in it :D.

Anyways, enought talk about exams and school, I'm looking forward to some more screenshots of some maps etc for thsi mod or even a gameplay video.

You make me feel rather guilty: I'm homeschooled, and so theoretically should have have the most spare time...
But I'm still not up to scratch with Hammer, XSI etc. yet.
