Ok, I started this game a while ago, but then abandoned it. Now I am resurecting the idea, and so far it kicks ass. It is called Ghost Recon :TDS. TDS stands for top-down strike, not top down shooter. But it is a top down shooter. sorry, no screenies yet, but the graffics are pretty good, most are my originals, although some i found online. Basically, you play the game like the original ghost recon games, before graw and gr2 came out, but in a top down view. It has both fireteams (no charlie team, sorry), and pretty decent ai, although your qaud doesnt folle the player too well. For example of ai: enemies react to sound, dead bodies, have lines of sight, and take cover/run at you, like in the real gr games.
You also get to assign your squad different classes, ie sniper, rifleman, support, and demo. You cannot pick individually soldiers, though. It will probabally be the most realistic tds ever made with gm, ie you cant go rambo style through the levels, and you have to actaully put the reticle on the target and fire, not just point in their general direction. Other random features ive got so far: instant bullets, grenades, reticle expands/contratcs with player movement, ducking/standing, buildings with "see-thru" roofs, and finally the sound. the sound is AWESOME. I have gr for pc, and opened up the files, and took some .wavs straight from the game. Others i found online. The sound fx will probabally be the best feature of the game, even though they arent my own. ill have a demo soon, but my only drawbacks are: probabally large filesize since its unreg, it has tons o' sounds, and levels are HUGE (about 2000x2000). Post any comments, suggestions, or spam. Random word: shoe boxedit: and if anyone knows a good way to make a nice td snow effect with unreg gm6, please lt me know. thanks!edit 2x: i lied, ill have screenies tommarow (friday). i promise this time!edit 3x:i lied again. (oops, im lazy. working on a wip though, xpect one in about 5-7 bussiness days)
screenies only make it that much better heh
ill edit it tomarrow, i got to go to bed or ill be a ZOMBIE! (in school tomarrow ill be a zomibe cause ill be tired, not cause i died and arose from the dead.) good night 64d!
