Looks more like Duke Nukem to me

You may have a point there.

***EDIT***
Ugh, too much muscles! Animating the Duke Nukem dude turned out to be harder than I imagined. Much harder. Slim characters are easy, you can twist them almost in any position you want and it'll look decent but this guy... the muscles go inside each other. The biceps are the main problem. It seems this guy won't be doing any barrelrolls like the other enemies (yes, they're quite agile, rolling and jumping around blasting your butt off).

That's why duke was best off being sprite-based!

A couple of WIP shots from a level I'm working on. You're on a moving train:

You start the level in a car in the back of the train and this is the first thing you see when climbing out.

If the enemies spot you and raise the alarm cars will start driving by the train. You could sneak the whole level and the cars wouldn't come, but sneaking all the way is extremely hard. Of course, you have silenced weapons to help you. The car in the picture has only the driver but each car will also have 1-3 additional guys shooting at you.

WHOA,MAN! THAT'S TERRIBLY AWESOME!!!I want to play that game as much as I want to by myself Unreal Tournament 3 And That's pretty Much!!!

Amm,just one question:
You say,the player starts in a car,does that mean that you can get in cars and driive them?

[Juutis]

No, I meant a railroad car. Sorry for misleading.

And thanks, man. Glad you like it.

[Trougedoor122]

nice screens, also i like the game alot

[metal_head]

Glad you like it.

Like it? LIKE IT?! I LOVE IT! and that,that you've scripted and modeled everything yourself...it's just awesome!

[Juutis]

Ooookay, glad you love it.

Just don't get too excited. I'd hate if you played the game and realized it's nowhere near as good as you thought.

[metal_head]

Well,actually I player the Nirhis demo,which is released and loved it,so I'm sure Nirhis will be awesome!Also I saw the screens.I think that's the best game Idea in the RF community for now!I dont'know,but I really like it best,I don't want to say that the other games suck,I just like this game most!I read everything about it,and I'm sure there will be loads of cool scripts!I'll be waiting for some new screens.

[Juutis]

Thanks for the support. Once again. That's what keeps little boys like me developing their games.

***EDIT***
Oh ya, forgot to say that the car and the driver are different pawns. Actually if you look closely the driver is the model I posted earlier. So it'll be possible to either shoot the whole car with a rocket launcher or just snipe the driver.

[metal_head]

So pawns can drive cars? Or I haven't understood you ight.Can they enter and get out of the cars?

[Juutis]

Weeeeeell, that depends... The blue car is a pawn that actually drives itself. The "driver" is another pawn who just sits there. The driver doesn't affect the car's movement in any way. The driver can tell the car to "die" when he is hit and the car will then play an animation and crash somewhere. The car also has its own health and it will kill all the pawns inside when it blows up. Also, the terrain by the railroad is completely flat so there's no need for physics for the car.

Can they enter and get out of the cars?

In Nirhis? No.
Could you make them able to do that? Yes. It's not easy though...

[metal_head]

That's cool,and what about the crashing?You said that cars "Crash somewhere" does'that mean that they get the nearest wall and drive straight up to the wall untill the car hits the wall or it's something else?
