The proportions look way off in Nevada when compared to ut4_turnpike which will have a large impact on the dynamic of the map.

You should wait and try it first before suggesting it's bad.

Old classic maps like Abbey and Algiers has gone through considerable amount of changes in layout details over the years too.

most maps do, and a lot of changes are for the better, when done well! and from the video it looks like it's going to be a map worth waiting for!

Don't forget that the layout is exactly the same, so the gameplay will be exactly the same as well. The whole theme should have been remade due to copyrights issues we're all aware about.

Great job mate.

This is beautiful. I have no clue how you managed to do this in such a short time, but I guess it's called "skill" and "talent"

But I see some subtle changes in layout.


Elevation change in the "office".


Stairs on the right side of pic - another elevation change.


Red flag area changed a lot. Not only introduced elevation change, but there is very small and low wall there - it will stop powersliders.


Red flag area changed again - there is no "flat wall" next to it, like now -


This metal fence - that's what I'm talking about.

Blue Flag area:

The exits are not in the same line.

No elevation behind the corner:


I'm not saying, that those changes are bad, I'm saying, they are AWESOME.

The reason that Nevada exists is that NO ut4_ maps which are not owned by (Current) FS Members are being put in UrT HD (as official maps). The reasons are 2 fold.

1. We legally can't! Team FS (aka 0870760 B.C. Ltd) must own 100% of the assets / code and everything distributed. Under the terms of the new licence. We as "current" members of the team have special contracts that give the company ownership of our works in regard to Urban Terror HD development.

2. Because we don't want to add "copies" we are reinventing, something NOT done by other game companies. Dust CS and Dust 1.6 from COunter strike are straight copies, when so much could have been done to make them "the same but different". So we opted for the "Same but different" approach.

Unless we have written exclusive permission from the IP holder of a old ut4_ map giving Team FS the total rights and permissions to a map idea, we simply can not put it in UrT HD, that's the reality here!

and Nevada is so frigging cool!

Thank you for that! You forgot to mention, that you, as developers, are learning through years. You are doing you job better and better. So it's good to have fresh start and not clone mistakes you have done in the past. I bet that mappers who made maps for 4.1.1 and who are still mapping would do their maps in the different way now (experience + new skills acquired through time).

So thank you again for "same but different"!

Hey, I'm new here. :) (Sorry for my bad English <:)

Watching this video made me want to play UrT HD. I'm glad to see turnpike in new, fresh, HD version. And models of soldiers are just awesome.
Great job, FS! We can't wait for more :F!

We can see the scale of damage of weapons. Is it just temporary and will be re-balanced later? Or is it the final version of weapons power?

[MajkiFajki]

Devs said couple of times, that weapon specs are hard-coded into models - so time for specs will come, when all models are converted into MD5.
