You can haz:

You might want to drop the 2009, it’s not coming out this year dude.

Suuuuure :wink:

:hmph:

It’s not.

K you can say that :wink:

He knows more than a lot of people here know :stuck_out_tongue: His countdown has been changing all over the place :stuck_out_tongue:

It is surprising that I haven’t been on for a couple of days and only 2 new pages have been made compared to the like 10+ I have had to read before of people complaining. Keep up the good work forumers!

As for the obviously mentally lacking people who ask for media…READ THE FUCKING FAQ! You poke fun at the mods for saying “No” to those requests…and you know why??

“CAN WE HAVE SOME MORE MEDIA/UPDATES PLEASE?: The only people who can release media are the Dev’s, and they are not known for pandering to pestering. Please do not ask for media.”

Whatever the devs did have planned probably just got postponed to spite you :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol <3

Apologies Dillxn, but I have got to steal that bg for myself. It’s too awesome not to use. :smiley:

EDIT: Perfect resolution too.

Oh, no worries, mate. Made it for you guys :slight_smile: <3

Ah well in that case: Ty very much. :slight_smile: <3 backatcha.

I dare you to make it in 1920x1080 :3

I bet you I can! I’ll prove you wrong!
[COLOR=‘DeepSkyBlue’][edit] alright, beat ya!

I’d ask for 1400x1050, but I’ll just use the 1440x900 one. It’s pretty epicalzor.

Gasps

I needed a new background… My exploding citadel was getting old…

Annnyywayyy…

Well for one thing NO ONE here knows for sure how much effort is being put into the mod to release on time. After all the notification of a date was done over 12 months in advance! In that time there is NO ONE here that can say 100% that they gave 110% to get this mod released on time.

Infact by the comments made by the team on motivation and the release date would indicate a lack of effort on their part to release the mod on time until maybe the VERY end.

Lets not forget there are plenty of people in life that don’t follow through or never finish ANYTHING on time. Since we don’t know any of the developers it could be a majority is made up of these types of people, then again it may not.

I find it hard to believe that all the 1- 5 post posters that say “take your time”, “do it when you can we support you” as being legit and not possibly team members diverting attention from their failure to complete the project in the specified time. Then again these posts may be legit and some people don’t care when anything happens.

I don’t feel the OWE me anything, I am a lurker from time to time, because this mod has taken way too much time than would have been needed. But it’s THEIR mod and hobby, like I said they aren’t getting paid. But I DO feel they OWE the community they built and who supported them fanatically to try to give 110% and finish this project, and atleast some explanations on the delay and why.

As to comments about my “back then reply”, yes men were paid, but they also did this on ANYTHING they did, if they gave their word they KEPT it, if they said they would finish the garage before noon, they did everything they could to keep it. So money was NOT a factor back then, it was Honor and their Word. By giving a Date 1 year in advance is the same as giving their word that the project would be finished.

To those of us who believe in a person’s word and how it reflects on them, we see nothing in the team’s posts to indicate that they did everything that COULD be done to finish this mod on time, but instead still had motivational issues with team members or leaders to finish this project up.

IMO this reflects on their word, for those that believe such things are useless dribble, it will not matter to them nor would they understand. To the VAST majority who do lurk or do believe their word should NEVER be broken, will see how ALL the mod team have shamed themselves by not KEEPING their WORD.

For me I can wait, I WOULD love to play a better version of Halflife but after all it’s a darn game, but that still doesn’t DEFLECT the responsibility of them KEEPING their WORD. Nothing can change that, its done, they failed to keep it and they lost Face, whether they know it or not is immaterial. They only compound it by not giving an explanation on WHY they were delayed and lay blame where it may.

And to those posters who say take your time dont worry that you didnt keep your release date, could be fuelling LONGER delays from the mod team if they are the type of people who delay by nature. Most of the time people take that for agreement. Similar to Congress if people didnt complain they wouldnt get the point they did something wrong and would continue the same as always. People should be upset and should let them know it. Whether it will motivate them or not who cares, but telling them take your time WILL NOT motivate them to finish early. They are almost done, they dont need moral support anymore, they need motivation to finish the project.

no.
