Let me preface this by saying I wish you and your team good luck with the mod. I hope I get to play it.

I'm amazed at the responses by TW in this thread. I remember a little project called "Ascension" started up by a bunch of people in the community (mostly lolren players) who released an alpha video very similar to this:

The similarities:
-Both teams had some skiing
-Both had bases
-Both had a disc launcher
-Both were not a far cry (lol) from what the original engine had to offer in terms of functionality and aesthetics
The differences:
-Crysis looks prettier
-Ascension had more concept art and 3d assets by this point
-Ascension had a larger following
-Ascension had engine access
My guess is you're all bitter in the mouth from anything connected in some way to GarageGames. I remember seeing the video where the dude was skiing in the Source engine shooting the stock machine gun and people were jizzing all over the place even though it had less than these two projects.
Now I'm not saying Ascension is better or worse, it just seems that you've all been blindsided by the pretty graphics of Crysis without looking at what has actually been completed here.
