Ah, back again so soon? I told you we'd be making updates more frequently. :)
Today's post is our official showcase of Airwolf's ps_forest. But before I get into that too much, I want to post something that I've been meaning to hit on for a few months and just keep forgetting about - and that would be the interview the current Firearms: Half-Life Team Leader did with our art lead, Shinobi, and I. Actually, it's a little more than an interview; it's an interview with a lot of extra information and a few screenshots. He took a lot of time out of his day putting this together and I'd be doing his efforts a disservice if I didn't make a link for our fans to read. Firearms: Source, Anatomy of a Mod.
Alright, back to Forest. This map has come a long way since the version I first played when Airwolf and the other Incursion (formerly Firearms: Revival) team members merged with us. In fact, this is probably one of the prettiest outdoor maps I can recall playing on the Source engine, ever. And unlike most other outdoor maps in existance, Airwolf's map has actual concealment - and lots of it - without forcing major framerate hits onto people with low end computers. All of this, from the incredible aesthetics and skybox, to the over 100 different varieties of trees and bushes and even the buildings in the map, are 100% Firearms: Source - nothing is taken from anything done by Valve.
