I just wanted to get some feedback from modders on what you thought of the info/shakeycam vid that came out of Gamescom this week. Any features you saw that you're looking forward to taking advantage of in your mod? What stuff did you like?
maybe some technical clarifications on things like mantling or the cover system and AI behaviour, are these all automatic features? or will mappers need to add volumes and such everywhere to tell the game what can happen where?
I would also like to know how the AI improvements will affect mappers. Will we have to litter cover nodes around each object (eg. Gears of War)?
I think modders will wait until more info is available before they make real decisions. Right now we don't even know for sure if vehicles will be in, or what content will be provided to use, or the other various systems in the game. Some indication on the overall map sizes might also be useful.
Xendance, there will probably be trees included, but you better stop being lazy and learn to make your own already. And that doesn't mean in the editor with BSP!
