Zanzibar Weekly Update 7

Stefander · Post by **Stefander** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:04 pm

Shallow update this week, but that's not because the content isn't tasty. It's just that we've made great efforts at the geometry (Farsight really did a great job at roughing out the entire BSP) and we aren't allowed to show you guys yet (since this update is info only, next week a screen) and we're just as sorry as you guys not to be able to show you guys some footage of the new Zanzibar.

One great thing we do wish to announce is that NiTrOuSoXiDe and his team have merged with our Zanzibar-team. So no more "omfg this un is betta" "noez diz un is betta", but 1 map which is going to be awesome. They already started on Zanzibar, so we're already way further than we were last week (only the sniper building and the base).

So, so far for this short update, consider it as the silence before the storm...

That's true, we help them with their tags and they help us with our tags...

This is exactly the kind of questions that we don't like... We'll set a release date when we're sure we're going to make it...

Yeah guys just let the Zanzibar team take their time. I think I speak for all modders when I say when you rush your mod will suck. Take your time, guys. I'd rather have a nice zanzibar with halo 2 weapons, then have an assault rifle with a poorly made scope.

We have the Battle Rifle in-game as we speak (including the incredible FP-animations JamesD made), and all I can say is that it looks uber-sweet.
