It looks seriously b0rked - bits don't "bob" in sync in the video, which looked seriously annoying to me.

Something else interesting to point out here is that this was way before hit detection was fixed. During this video half of his bullets that connected were doing no damage, which was a big reason for all the dancing in the big fights. Before they figured out how to fix the problem they started compensating by increasing the damage of things until people were mostly satisfied with how long it took to kill someone. That's why the damage of almost everything is being brought down in 1.8.

Take a bit of your time and watch this all the way through. Forget the sub-par graphics and the occasional frame-drop, and just look at things like how the character moves, the way the HUD responds to movement, and how the weapons look as they fire.

Also take some time to listen to the sound of your character's movement, and the sound of the weapons and other aspects of the environment.

In the case of these elements, the love we profess is NOT just nostalgia. Look at this footage and tell me that many aspects of it aren't better than what we have now.

They really do need to give us the ability to hide under beds again...
Might help during the odd orbital or 2...

Edit: Apologies...A video of Outlast loaded up...

and only the attacking team has an mcc... the way it should be.

P.S. Please don't tell me that the warbarge had a graphic representation of the ground layout before you dropped as well.

HOLY............

So this is skirmish 1.0!! I've seen videos of previous builds but never this one. Now I understand what the frustration is about concerning what we have now. In all honesty I was going to glance through view the vid an chalk this thread up as more nostalgia but after seeing this, hearing it...hell I was amped by the soundtrack alone!

What happened how does this look like a more finished game than this build. it should be the opposite. What happened to the moving MCC's and those turrets, the HUD, the terminals, hell the atmospheric effects, effects in general. I've never seen those power cells in the city glow such a beautiful green like that (why not). I've seen some of those assets online but thought they would be added in later I had no idea that at one time they were already in the game an removed, CCP nailed some of this stuff already why the back track.

That map style is exactly what is missing from maps right now too many bowls not enough dynamic cover. An what happened to the floating health bars on allies currently you can run around corners and shoot at your team mates because it doesn't want to show who is who fast enough. If you took that build added some of the current additions, weapon updates an sound changes, sky maps, facilities, graphic updates, etc, this game would look alot different.

AAAAhhh! Those scorch marks! I forgot how useful they were for targeting where your bullets were impacting at a distance.

I remember being one of the first people to start dropping Remote Explosives next to the "Defense Terminals" bypassing the need to hack them altogether...
Points A and B were fully destructible! Then the 3 defense points would open up at the back of the map.



Uhmmm.... weelllll.....

It did, but only by virtue of it always being the same map. :3

There were two different outposts you could have at the other end of Craterlake, but Craterlake was the only map.

But boyo that map was big and fun like hell, not like lfatland what we have here, where everyone basicaly run for point..ehm..death.
In that one map was bigger variability, than on most of flatones what we have right now.

the music got really annoying, the graphics sucked (only because it was in beta), and i hate the announcer voice. i like it now because it is more futuristic. the old one reminds me of the voice i heard when i took those annoying FEMA certification courses.

i like the old assault rifle sounds and the old skirmish mode made alot more sense than the current one. and bring back the small blaster turret installations CCP. it makes no sense y they arent in the game. just about every FPS gam ehas its own version of anti-infantry turrets except this one, currently.

Yeah, it'd be nice to see more terrain variation than we have now.
