April 26, 200718 yr in Firearms source forums here is the Bad news:( When x^18 and Issa approached me, the WaW Team Leader, about specifically using the name "Firearms" to make Firearms: Source, I literally responded with, "Meh. Whatever." At the time, World at War was (and still is) locked in an argument over the control of the Firearms name and legacy. The involvement of other parties and the course of the argument pretty much wiped out my or Ben's ability to be the definitive voice on how the Firearms name should be used. When x^18 and Issa came to me for approval, "Meh. Whatever." meant that I was practically powerless to even voice an opinion on the issue. As a result, FA:S is operating without official support from the WaW Team. We cannot officially claim that it is the sequel to FA. Nor can we claim that x^18 and Issa are the official heirs to the Firearms HL1 team. Due to the FA-related discourse that has existed outside of the WaW realm in the past year, we cannot explicitly support the team. But let me tell you this... they sure as heck have our "amiable approval." If I were able to choose or appoint successors to Firearms' legacy, I'd have chosen these two guys. Not only are x^18 and Issa talented, but they're good guys. (I should know. I tried to hire them for WaW on several occasions.) My WaW Team and I have often been criticized for not turning over FA to a dedicated group willing to Source it. The irony is that now that there is a team that I'd be willing to do that for... I can't. Having been approached by these guys and seen what they're capable of, I just wish that this had happened a year ago, as I would've gladly turned FA over to them (after some understandable grumbling about "whippersnappers" and such.) Furthermore, x^18 and Issa understand my precarious position and are eager to operate independently from WaW. But with a wink and a nod, we can all look at the main page and see how my fellow WaW team members have chipped in for this effort. Everyone feels good about this, and we wish the FA:S team luck. In closing, I must restate that the Firearms name is no longer mine to give. Nor is it Ben's. However, my team and I were greatly pleased by having our approval actively sought by x^18 and Issa, people who valued our input and our history. Barring FA:S update #2 consisting of them drowning puppies, they seem to be worthy people. Were it within my power to pick successors for FA, I'd pick them.
April 26, 200718 yr You do know this "news" is actually 9 months old, don't you? What is bad about this? Since this has been posted on the FA:S forums, several things have changed... x^18 has left FA:S, WaW is "temporarily" on hold, and the soap opera continues. It doesn't even matter what the game is called, as long as they actually release something for people to try it and see if they like it.
April 26, 200718 yr ROFL Don, your priceless That news was posted months ago. FA:S is fine, i think this thread needs to be closed.

April 26, 200718 yr What the hell? Srsly don, the more you post this false news and such about FAS, the more I don't understand you. That's the confusing part... This isn't false news, it's just old news, and not relevant when posted now with a topic like "Sad News Possible" This is equivalent to me posting something about "The Firearms team is no longer making FA1" I was trying to find out if there was something new, or there was any updated info to go along with this, but I couldn't find anything at all.

I had a hawaiian pizza for the first time in E.C.E. or so, and I threw it up outside the class. I never had it again.
April 26, 200718 yr I think Don is one of these people that always need to be the centre of attention and if they dont get their way, they lose it. Relax Don, the news is old, but not irrelevant, theres no need to go in the huff when someone corrects you.
