I'm pretty stunned with the effect. If only NS2 was here already !

I saw this yesterday... But sadly can't remember where.

Good stuff.

I like dynamic effects like this. It blends absolutely perfect with the world. Very good use of modern graphics technology.

Why snark works.

I think it could be a precursor to OP Force 2. :biggrin:

At least I'd like it to be.

Errr, what's Natural Selection got to do with Opposing Force?

Just the green growing stuff made me think of it. I liked Op4 best of all the mods ever made for HL.

Nothing more.

Wow, that looked damn impressive. :eek: NS is definitely a favorite, so will be really interesting to see how version 2 turns out.

Thanks for sharing Forceflow.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Yeah, I saw this yesterday.

In addition to being an atmospheric visual effect, having dynamic infestation gives us opportunities to develop some interesting game play elements. High on our list is having map entities which are triggered when an area becomes infested or uninfested. For example, you could have a computer console that shuts down when overrun by infestation and causes the lights in the room to go out. If the marines clear out the room and fight back the infestation, the system comes back online and the lights flicker on to fill the room. What about abilities and technology which only function when players are on their home turf?

That is the part that excites me most. I think this is going to make for some intense gameplay.

Thats a good point actually, I'd forgotten all about that infestation stuff in OP4 for some reason but this certainly seems like the sort of effect that could work well there too.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

I guess that means it's good.
