How Unreal Tournament mods created a wave of successful indie studios

The mod scene that gave us everything from Killing Floor to Alien Swarm to Sanctum. Alan Wilson, vice president of Tripwire Interactive, tells me his studio probably wouldn’t exist without the Make Something Unreal Tournament that Nvidia and Epic Games hosted in the early 2000s. "I’d say it’s 99 percent certain," he says. In 2003 he and his roughly 60-person team were the rock stars of the Unreal Tournament modding scene, having successfully and breathtakingly transformed sci-fi arena shooter Unreal Tournament 2003 into Red Orchestra, the brutally realistic shooter set in World War II’s Eastern Front. Is it possible everyone…

SWBF2 REVIEW: BIG CHANGES NEEDED

Reddit's giving EA the business over Star Wars Battlefront II's loot crate and progression system So what can be done to make it better? Developers have already responded by changing the unlock cost of the heroes in Battlefront II, but is more action required?: https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/bat... Does the game really need abilities in its crate system? Why not just cosmetics? What else could be changed? Discuss. Star Wars Battlefront II arrives soon (November 17th, or the 14th with a deluxe edition). It's available to play as a trial with EA / Origin Access, which is how I'm playing it here. Source:…

RS2 New Map:

AGAIN SOME GREAT NEW MAPS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE POWERBITS GAMETEAM MIXED SERVER: SLEDGEHAMMER Mode:SUPREMMACY Version: v1 History:The year 1968 saw major developments in the Vietnam War. The military operations started with an attack on a US base by the Vietnam People's Army (NVA) and the Viet Cong on January 1, ending a truce declared by the Pope and agreed upon by all sides. At the end of January, the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong launched the Tet Offensive. Although militarily the operation was a failure for the Vietnamese communists, for them it was a propaganda victory, as on the home front the American public were shocked by the images they…

BF1:Maori Soldiers Added in Turning Tides DLC

DICE is adding Maori soldiers to Battlefield 1 in the form of the "British" Faction's scout class. The Maori are the native peoples of New Zealand and contributed thousands of soldiers to fight in World War I. Hundreds of them made the ultimate sacrifice. As fighters, the Maori were known for their tenacity and bravery in battle. DICE is paying tribute to the Maori by apparently modeling the scout character after them in the upcoming Battlefield 1 Turning Tides expansion / DLC. What are your thoughts? Tell me in the comments.

Why Are the “ANZACS” in Battlefield 1’s New Turning Tides Maps “British Forces?”

Footage here is from the Battlefield 1 Community Test Environment (CTE) and is an unfinished work in progress. Are the ANZACs on the new Battlefield 1 maps Cape Helles and Achi Baba actually ANZACs? Technically they're classified as "British Forces," but why is this? It turns out there's probably a pretty simple reason why DICE is running with the "British Forces" moniker for the faction on the Community Test Environment. It turns out there's a few legal hoops to jump through before you can use the word ANZAC commercially. If you want to read the stipulations on the law, you…
