Greetings everyone, and welcome to Falcon Squad (soon to be subtitled)… a little project I've been working on for about a month now.
Falcon Squad is a top down shooter which, when finished, will hopefully include a pretty fulfilling, story-driven campaign mode, a training area, and statistics tracking via Reflect. Right now though, it's only got multiplayer modes, which I am very happy with so far.Screenshots

Oh.

This is waaay better than conflict online to me 10/10
Oh, forgot to say…Pwnage. Nice job, man. All your games seem to amaze me…
Dude, the effects in this were simple beautiful. It ran extremely smooth on my computer too. I think I should put more time into my stuff….. who knows… you might have competition. =P
There was an error but I forgot to copy-paste it :( I think it was in obj_multiplayer something. I think it was left press event something or other.
How come it takes a friggin' age to kill someone? I was blasting people with my shotgun for like 10 minutes!I've uploaded a new version that addresses many of the issues you guys were having… enjoy!
How the hell do you make those graphics?
Biggoron - try leading them a little more… lag can make a huge difference, and if you're getting a lot of latency, try shooting more towards where people are going to be, and less where they are.
Hmm… Not that I'm critisizing your work, but wouldn't it make more sense if, instead of sending the message to create the bullets, it sent a damage message when you do damage on your side and sends the damage to the other side?
I don't really understand internet stuff, so I hope that made sense ^_^
