How long until Terrain Control mode is made available?

[Virt]

I think, for the good of maintaining the playerbase, and increasing our ability to attract new players, we need to move on from team deathmatch real soon.

As always, I appreciate the difficulty of the coding challenge, and the erstwhile efforts of the developers who bring us the joy that is MWLL.

Anyway, it would be great if the devs could give us some general indication of expected availability...?

Thanks.

Current target: sometime in September - subject to maps completion.

Thanks KingLeer, I really appreciate you taking us into your confidence.   

And I promise not to bug you about it before, during or even after September!

So then the approximate target for 0.4.0 is Sept/Oct? Just wondering, I have freinds that are waiting to get into it and they have Wars already and don't want to buy Vanilla Crysis.

Good question.  Wondering if the TC release will be part of 0.4.0 or another 0.3.x release.

Extrapolation: TC itself is (as good as) finished, and you only want to ship more/better maps with it?

Bad news then.  As per the devs, the port to Crysis Wars is on hold for an indeterminable length of time.  Don't hold your breath for that, I wouldn't expect it this year, from the cues I've picked up.

It may be that the maps for TC are TC specific.

Maps for TC are specific; SA/ToS maps cannot be used with TC unless they have had some specific modifications made.  Beyond that, TC maps need to have much more careful consideration to combat flow and base location than SA do.  As a general rule, they tend to have a larger playable area as well.

This is not true.  Toth has been working on the Wars port for the last few weeks and has made solid progress.  There are some issues with the Dedicated Server portion of the port, but it's just a matter of getting debug interpretted and making the necessary adjustments.  The code differences between Crysis and Crysis Wars are minimal (for the most part) which has implications both in allowing the port to be relatively simple, and in suggesting that any improvements in performance incurred will be minor.  The plus side is... and we are still just TALKING about this, is that parallel support for Crysis/Crysis Wars may not be that difficult.  Whether it is in the best interests of the project as a whole is another discussion that will happen internally.

Lots of good info here. On my internal scale TC outweighs everything else like elephant to mouse. The ability to quickly integrate user maps is fairly important though.

When it's done

Great news! : )  I am looking to TC much more than anything else though.

[Toth]

TC isn't really about code at this point, its mostly assets and maps. That takes time, and there is no way we're going to rush that.

Thanks for the info guys.
