Dear community,
In June we released a teaser shot of our unnamed map, which was further mentioned in our Q&A Answers as Codename: Area 3.
This map is being developed by level designer Matt "mjl86" Lefevere with the majority of assetts, environment art designed and created by Peter "pAldred" Aldred & Jason "midwinterdreams" Matthews.
We are very excited and proud to show you this level in its near completed state (90% developed with just Final playtests and Sound Assets to be plugged in).
All credits will follow.
Area 3
Scene Setting: It's early morning, deep in the forest of an American mountain range. The fog is dense, birds are singing, and there's a crisp chill in the air. The luxurious mansion, owned by one of the military's highest-ranking generals, seems deceptively peaceful from the outside. Inside, though, is another story.
Scenario: Mercenaries have taken the general and his family hostage for $2 million ransom. They demand to be paid immediately and threaten to execute the family otherwise. With no time for a lengthy negotiation process, the SWAT team is sent in to handle the situation. Their orders? Rescue the hostages by any means necessary. They pull their SWAT truck into the driveway and enter the lush courtyard, not knowing what to expect...

Recruiting:
- We are looking for an experienced flash developer to join our team, great knowledge of photoshop is also required. You'll be polishing up our UI menus, it would be desirable if you have Action Script 2.0 knowledge, but this is not essential!
cool
Looks great!
Shut up and take my money.
I remember this map, its turning out well every time.
"Haven" seems fitting considering its surrounded by trees, and an obscure mansion just sitting out in the middle of no where gives off that sense of insecurity.
Didnt know UE3 could do "god rays", or w8 are those faked ? (by faked i mean that they are not just.... Put there manualy)
I think they look niiice :>
udk can do god rays
UE3 can definitely do volumetric light scattering (The technical name for it)
No they are not fake, no editing, no photoshop! that an ingame screenshot
