Ah, that is wonderful! I am really looking forward to playing this! By the way, is it easy to add SP to this? I know that this was not planned for the first release, but I whole-heartedly hope to see it's implementation in the near future  :D .

Also, I already saw your amazing Webley M. IV. However to me, the only real Webley is the Mk. VI variant. If it is not too complicated, may I ask for it's addition to the game  :-\ ?

IIRC we decided on the Webley MKIV due to commonality.  We could however easily implement the MkVI in the future though. :P

I agree too, the MkIV was limited standard for the British in WW2.

For SP, well, you need to learn lots of Flowgraph in its SDK, I'm only a beginner at it. I hate coding! ;D

WW2 in CryEngine3

Dat Lighting


From a history/military standpoint: While the lights on in the house look awesome and sexy, aren't there usually blackout rules in effect in a war zone? Just to keep bombers etc from pinpointing locations?

I had the same thought, but then remembered Mudra is helping them out with accuracy/research, so I immediately assumed I'm wrong :)

Well, I think it is just a render to show most things that they have developed (e.g. statics, vehicles etc).

If the lights were out, then you couldn't see much of the map at all. ;)

From Maniche:

Quote
We've used lights a few different places, yes, to highlight certain areas a bit better.

When it comes to lights inside housing etc., it purely for the looks and to give the viewer a sense of definition (shadows, how light bounces etc.), and is therefore not entirely representable for the end-product.

Maniche

I hope that answers your questions. :)

Oh my God the detail they put into each weapon, backline or not. Amazing work :)

P.S. would love to see this in FH :P
