New Concept art plus Oct 21 build info ut3

[Flitterkill]

1) http://www.beyondunreal.com/content/articles/206_1.php

 

Ton of concept art (player models, maps)

 

2) If you missed it, a post or two down in the forums here has a Torlan 2 2+ minute play though

 

 

3) German folks got a shindig from Midway the other day

 

Played a still beta version, but slightly newer than the beta demo released.

 

* hitbox resized (smaller) especially in the head area

* camera height unchanged

* better visibility of models with full post processing

* wrong spawntime of items due to delayed map start is fixed

* weapon throw not available (according to midway it will be in the final game)

* piped switch weapon not available (according to midway it will be in the final game)

* In general the players think rather highly of the new ORB system (at least one top-notch ONS-player was among the players) as it makes for a less rush-centered game and offeres a whole new set of startegical options

* The user interface doesn't seem to have changed much, a few submenues added, but besides that nothing seems to have changed.

* Mouse sense still only setable to full numbers via UI.

* Scoreobard now shows kills and death

A map without vehicles, rather small

One team tries to lower a bridge because it gets a huge tactical advantage (great

tank position) the other team tries to prevent just that
