More screenshots of the gameplay will come soon, im just creating an episode in the comic.

Heres a preview of the story:
It begins in a cold, rainy, average November day in London, people are out Christmas shopping, there is a loud hum of voices and the occasional beep of a car horn. The odd homeless person here or there, everything is normal. Suddenly, a car smashes into Hamlins Toyshop and a dark shadow is cast over the shady streets of the city. Dogs begin to bark and gradually are silenced as electric blue rockets are sent hurtling to the ground from a strange looking flying object in the sky. People are screaming as their limbs are blown to pieces by these strange blue lights.

but im not sure whether to change this around a bit.

~UPDATE 18th Nov 04~New readme is now finished.

~UPDATE 19th Nov 04~New weapons menu finished: http://www.laughingllamas.com/members/KAMO/uploads/new%20weapon%20menu2.bmp

~UPDATE 19th Nov 04~Im not sure if anyone would like to see backpacks on their soldiers? as like, just a little added thing thatl look kewl. Im not quite sure how to do it but ill try if anyone wants it?

~UPDATE 19th Nov 04~ The mod is now finished, but im still making the maps and i am finishing off the second episode of the comic, only two episodes will be included in the mod, each episode has about 2/3 parts.
The other episodes will be put onto a website.

It's ok. The shading is too simple and some of the guns still look like the original guns

By making it more advanced and good-looking.
Use Photoshop to do that, if you have it.

It's OK, I like the effort you put into it, and all the planning I'm sure you've done. The only thing I would recommend it making the graphics just a bit better. Right now all the weapons look a bit dull (no offense). I suggest better shading and making them look a bit more like modern guns.

The gore is pretty nice for people who like exaggerated deaths :)

Good luck.

thx, yours is one of the few positive comments ive had about this mod, and im trying to improve the weapons right now, ive been flamed in my other topic, but im carrying on regardless coz ive put too much effort to quit now, it may not look like much, but alot has gone into this mod.

linkin park...nice

Better, it's improved and the extra gore is really appealing to a sadistic mofo like me. The weapons can still be improved though, with some shading and use of more subtle colors. Try mixing your own istead of using the ones that come premixed, cause they suk. Use different shades of gray too. Overall, much better than the last time I saw it.

BTW - I like the powerups and stuff, the icons are easy to see and portray the meaning well.

i know about the weapons shading lol, they look lame in screenshots, but they r good in the game but ill still try to improve them.

Well, you have definately make a BIG change to your mod, it is pretty good, not bad, but I suggest that you put a bit more attention to the detail of you of you interface weapons. More shading ... Gosteck looks awesome!
