I am so going to buy one of these shirts someday... err, crap, their store isn't loading. Anyway, they have a Gearbox shirt in their company store that has the Op4 powerups across the front. Pretty neat

God, Op4CTF was great. I miss playing that. That was the last game I really played online, save for NS playtesting. Otherwise I generally stick with single player, LAN play, or bots.

Oddly enough, for having no one playing it, my Op4CTF maps are among the most downloaded from my site. Ranges from Tortuosity with 244 to Gauntlet at 340. And whoa, my download counters have skyrocketed... guess I haven't looked in a while. [addsig]

I get at least 50 or so downloads of Battleschool every week from my own website. I'm not sure who is playing it, but I'm glad someone is still downloading my stuff lol.

Yeah, I'm sure the grass in HL2 isn't actually individual sprites; it's probably sprites bound in a model, or generated as terrain detail like in UT2k4.

I think the hl2 grass works because they keep it very small. If you tried doing larger foliage like they have in Serious Sam or some UT2k4 maps like that, the rotation would become noticable and it would look horrendously bad.

KFS: please make Quake IV not suck. Doom 3 is a beautiful game engine, and I'd love someone to make a game for it, rather than a boring $50 tech demo *rolls eyes*

Day of Defeat has had bundles of model grass (basically the same idea) for a looong time.
