i have been playing BS for a while now and i think the new update is great, but i wanna know whats gonna happen next, is there gonna be another update and when? or are they gonna concentrate on UT3 now?

I have not been around long but the impression i get is that they will stay mainly with 2k4 for a while maybe working in secret a little on ut3 as well before finally switching over.

I don't really know but this is the impression im getting

Welcome to tha forums

I'm guessing they might make BW for UT3, but they were talking about a TC mod...

If only you guys knew!

Ballistic Shit?
BW

guessing that was just a typo.

well i would know, but im not a moderator or anything here.....
so no telling what there next move will be.

Personally, I'm betting they're making a film. Or a Ballistic-weapons branded soft-drink, or chicken housing.

He knows too much...

Heh, that kidder, he kids! Heh, what a ki-

*mmf*

*grk*

*hhhkk*

There has been no update for Bioshock yet.

Oooh, burned.

Oh wait, I'm dead, aren't I? Terribly sorry.

Humour aside, I expect maybe one last update to address any issues people have uncovered in the new features of 2.1

But right now Runestorm is considering moving their efforts to a new game with better video quality. Many hope its UT3 but thats only a rumour. BW may also appear on Crysis which is a likely candidate. Again that is a rumour.

All free speech and journalism has been suppressed by the Runestorm secret police (Xavious) so until BW3 we dont know what they plan on doing.

Hey, what part of secret in secret police didn't you understand?!

Well, we are planning something big...
There may be some smaller stuff first.

We will considder UT3 and see if its capable of carrying BW...

If UT2 can, then surely UT3 can as well. It is just a question of if an UT3 port is a waste of time or not.

mmm....interesting...I wonder what it would taste like....

seriously...do a search, or browse the forums a bit, you'll get the idea of what's next...

yup, that's right, we're not saying

It will be good, and it will be more in the direction of RuneStorm's long term plans...but there may just be some small things here and there along the way

It would taste like POWERTHIRST!

It's a single player mod for 2004 based on the Project Archon universe, I'm calling it now.

That's the great thing about these forums; the RS team gives out just enough information to keep us all wildly guessing for months on end until they actually announce something

I'd guess that they're going to make a new game. There are already thirty-some weapons and there's a forum dedicated to weapon suggestions...

I moved the VCTF server to a new location so I should be able to Hang around with Ut2004 a bit...I will be running a Ut3 Warefare/VCTF server also...So I will still test any ut04 stuff you want me to.

lol bs, i play lots of mods so i get confused... but really, i want u guys to stick with UT2k4 for a while. u guys got me back into it and now im enjoying it more than ever cos of u...

Glad to hear it

the mod on ut2k4 will be around for a while still...will take time for the next release/project/mod/tc/game/softdrink

but can you tell us whats gonna be in the next update? i would like new guns and the upgrade system that every1 is talking about like putting scopes and bayonets on the ranger and stuff...

An upgrade system would be a hell of a lot of work. Think of all the modeling and animation involved. And why would they tell us anything? It'd spoil the surprise!

In the next update, I would love to see the Conflict gear system expanded to other gametypes. Gametype-specific gear would be a really nice touch, like maybe a power-node booster item that automatically heals nodes it's placed on, or some kind of device that temporarily disables power nodes or vehicles. Other than that, more general gear items would be great too, like healing items or speed/accuracy boosting things. Maybe an invisibility cloak for Predator-style conflict matches (Think, 1 invisible "Predator" with Skrith weapons, against the other team outfitted with human weapons. Naturally, one would carry a minigun, at least one has an M50, and another would have dual XK2s. Don't remember what the others would have though). It would also be cool if you code limits to how many of each item you could carry (for instance, you'd never need two cloaking devices or parachutes).


Other things I would like to see are real-time shadows and gore system improvements, like spawning the blood pool on severed limbs or heavily-damaged areas, or specialized ragdoll gibs that for cleaner dismemberments.


More Skrith weapons would be grand. A grenade-launcher type weapon would be neat too, as we're lacking in that department. A compound bow would be ridiculously awesome, but it'd probably be too much work.

great idea, ignore everyone else and make sure kaboods gets what he wants
then he eventually might run out of ideas!

Hey, just sayin'. It's probably not going to happen unless they've already been working on it for a while.

we can hope

it is tempting to just blurt out what is next, but then there's no supsense

you'll see soon enough

I know all about what Runestorm is planning for the future, It's all so obvious, really.

They plan on using a universal energy-to-mass converter to spawn an army of Malcoms from UT2004 with railgins, take over the world, and quantize the time-space continuum. It will be the end of calculus and a domination of discreet mathematics, which Runestorm will use to...

ARG, ME FACE IS GONNA BLOW UP WITH SUSPENCE

um... not really, in case any of u got worried but how soon are we gonna see?????

that question never works....
