RuneStorm is proud to launch a new website dedicated to the community for the modding of Ballistic Weapons.
The new website http://www.bwcommunity.com is to allow the modding community the freedom to mod and continue with Ballistic Weapons, based on the Unreal Tournament 2004 game.

BWCommunity is being run by some of the current RuneStorm community members, with backing from RuneStorm. The devs from RuneStorm will keep an eye on the site and provide some help, advice, tips and some tutorials along the way. The new site will also provide support for the current BW version.

This is being done, to ensure that Ballistic Weapons still lives on for those who wish to stick with UT2k4, and frees up the main site and devs for the current and future projects.

This will bring about some changes to the current RuneStorm forums over the next few weeks.

Head on over to www.bwcommunity.com and check it out.

After a great deal of work, our first chracter ever to be released is now available for download. 'Hel' for UT3, is based on the Norse 'Hel'. Here are a couple pics, and of course the download. Hel features custom physics, materials and of course custom 1st person arms.

And as i'm sure many have guessed, the Thor Lightning Gun, Pitbull Shotgun and new character have been entered into the Make Something Unreal Contest. We're confident that our work will be appreciated by the judges and community alike!

So thank you to all who have helped us out by testing, reporting and for all the feedpback through the past and through our latest ventures!

The Pitbull has been released!

Download Now!

The 'Pitbull' shotgun is a classic, close range weapon, easily capable of dispatching enemies in close quarters. Use primary fire's dangerous single fire mode, or the deadly, double shot secondary fire mode to obliterate an enemy at close range. The Shotgun replaces all Flak Cannons by default by means of a mutator. The Shotgun also works with the Thor Lightning Gun.

Enjoy!

It is soon, but we have released V1.1 of the Thor Lightning Gun. We fixed a few multiplayer issues involving effects and anims.

On top of that, we have another pic of our soon to be released Shotgun. Enjoy!

I'm sure everyone has seen the screenshots posted recently, and now it's time for the enigma to be released publically.
The "Thor" Mk17 Lightning Gun is a devastating weapon, capable of searing opponents with a deadly stream of lightning, or hurling them around like leaves in a storm!

The Thor will replace all Shock Rifles by means of a mutator.

This is our first venture into the new Unreal Engine 3, and we are very pleased with it so far! This is the first of many things RS will be working on.

Go and get it from the downloads now.

RuneStorm will not be continuing development of Ballistic Weapons on UT2K4.
The current release, v2.1 is officially the final version. Unless there are any catastrophic bugs we do not yet know about , development for BW UT2k4 has officially been ceased by RuneStorm.
However, this does not nessecarily mean BW will stop developing.
We will be 'opening up' BW to the community.
A BW community website is in the works, and we will have the website ready for the community shortly.

As development for BW: UT2k4 has officially been ceased, we will be allowing community fans and members, to further develop BW if they wish. The new website will be available soon, and fans can post ideas and support queries there. All community members may release whatever they wish for BW, including patches, new weapons, gametypes, etc. We plan on publishing a variety of resources to aid modders including SDKs and tutorials.

RuneStorm is also pleased to announce that we will be entering content in Epic's "Make Something Unreal" contest. We've been working very hard to develop 1st class modifications, that we believe will take us far.

Here is also a pic of our next weapon..


Beyond that, we are developing a much bigger project, but more on that later on...
