I can give one good reason for no FA:S

FA 3.0

ALSO in 2010

-G

FA kills teenage lives.

FA kills everyone's lives.

Actually FA:R is doing pretty well, right now I'm testing a durandal "like" map for FA:R

And how dous FA:R play? Better than the normal FA?

It should be, they're still writing code, I've only seen the map so far. If you want to see the progress they've made check here:

If for no other reason it should be better than current FA the hitboxes are poly based on the HL2 engine which means a lot of issues regarding hit registration will be fixed.

ahh good ole poop. i should sign up and help em out.

Whoa... Nice sig paluch.But as far as FA:R goes, if people do start playing it, I'll definitely join up with that. But until then, I'll stay with the original FA until its final dying breath, Because the LAST thing I'd want to end up having to do, is go over to CS:S, or CS2 when it comes out. You all can say whatever you want about CS:S, bottom line is though, its still CS. Theres still the AWP and waiting after death. Majority of the time I spent when I used to play CS was waiting to respawn and saying "WTF?"Long Live Firearms.

well that's CS's gameplay. It makes you a bit more cautious and do things alot more in groups than running out solo. Because with a respawning system, all you have to worry about is deaths, while with CS's round system, you really have to worry about deaths and missing out on the rest of the round while other players have fun.

Once you get good at it or you play for a while, you don't mind it

there ARE the other dead people to chat to anyway

Yeah counter strike sucks.

Some servers added Pong that you could play when you died. :DCS2, It is always hard for me to imagine what they could even do. All I can thing is better graphics, a TOTAL distructible enviroment (being able to knock whole walls down); and that stuff takes a lot. I usally like it when they add more guns, like add another 10 guns to it.

thats cool to see that they already are making progress.$20 this comes out before FA 3.0

FA will always be better than any copy they try to make on the Source engine. You can not duplicate such a great game as this. It just can not be done. If I have an urge to play FA, I will load up the original. This is why I will not download it.

 

Enjoy FA now, and remember the times played. Let it die and look to the future.

 

-Edit: Sulsa from the FA Forums had a great way of thinking about it all-

Yes.

And I had a great response to that: "The team (whether or not they chose to) is abandoning a mod that's not dead. I see no problem claiming that which has been cast aside as garbage." Further more I've played on the HL2 engine and the movement is amazingly similiar to FA since they added sprint (the physics engine hasn't change much, why do you think the HL2 vehicles are still so buggy). Durandal is amazingly similiar on source (this is the HL2 engine, not a beta of FA:R).

My friend dose a great impression of his brother playing CS.He'll sit down and put his ands up, as if they were on a keyboard, and start ranting. 'Com on guyz!' 'Let's plant the bomb d00des' 'omg he took my awp'.

Whoa... Nice sig paluch.

I second that for sure, especially the part about Paluch's sig.

Dude since CCS had come out i have seen a ton of freshmeats. I think that CCS had reminded ppl how much it sucks and they are now looking for a new game. I think that if the clans will recruite new freshmeats then this game can servive. This game has been gowing a lot this past month. With FA source there is no limit to what fA:S can do.

born2kill that is exactly why DoL diedwe recruited about 10 freshmeats, none of them visited the forums. FA is dying, newcomers will have no impact.FA:R will probaly bring back some dedicated veterans, and maybe some new dedicated freshmeatspray FA:R will be good enough

Cast aside as garbage? I hardly see that. I doubt the FA team would spend so many hours creating the game and then cast it away as garbage. They are fixing it up for 3.0 and putting it to rest.

think of it more as putting in a shoebox and setting it in your cloest.

and what's CCS?

and what do you mean by With Fa Source there is no limit what fA:S (which I presume means FA source) can do.

sharp you just want it to die. Are they paying you?....I'm on to you buddy :|

Do I want it to die? No. But do I want people to let it die, yes.

 

I love FA as much as the next guy, perhaps a little more. I've been playing for a few years here and its been great.

FA 2.9 is not all that it can possibly be; 3.0 won't deal with some of the major issues that FA has (part of which is just the HL engine). As such it is incomplete, and since the community is still willingly to run with it, it isn't dead. Either way this team is placing it aside, I'm just picking it up.

Fix the sticky prone bug, hitbox issues, balance the weapons like they're supposed to be, beef up the sound effects on alot of guns (because they sound downright wimpy), and I'll give it a try.But the original FA..... it's been deleted from my drive never to return. I'll be on our CS:S server in the meantime kicking ass... when mine isn't getting kicked instead.
