There is red tape because it's a business. A business can't have their employees spouting off or making committments that the business isn't willing or able to keep :icon6:.jester! wrote:Question is, why is there all this red tape?
I'm not saying that I agree (at all), I'm just stating the most likely reason for the silence.jester! wrote:Even 5 years ago it was better. Besides I agree you cant have ppl spouting off info that should be kept quiet but 4 months? Come on man were all fan boys here but seriously.
IIRC, that was before Activision became such a big part of the picture.Foo wrote:Seemed to work alrite ten years ago.
That I think is one of, if not the, biggest problems. Did anyone play VtM: Bloodlines? So buggy and flawed the community was patching it and hacking the maps due to one error that required the use of console cheats to get past, and one of the devs admitted that unless Activision gave them the green light then they could do nothing to help.Tormentius wrote:IIRC, that was before Activision became such a big part of the picture.Foo wrote:Seemed to work alrite ten years ago.
There is a comment posted right here:jester! wrote:
If there was even a shred of "We are working on X" 95% of the bitching would be gone.
It's not a detailed description of whats being worked on but its the best we're going to get for now.

The QUAKE 4 Software Development Kit (SDK) and mod development tools are also now available at http://www.iddevnet.com. This site offers downloads, examples, documentation and other information for anyone interested in creating QUAKE 4 mods.
We are also working on a larger, required update that will address a broader range of reported issues in both multiplayer and single player.
If there isn't a detailed plan they probably have a reason for it. I don't like it any better than you do though.jester! wrote:Yeah I know Torm, I have little to do at work right now so I pretty much just run from Q4 site to Q4 site gathering news looking for replys from the devs.
Just seems like such a simple thing doesnt it, making a .plan or something, that would have a much greater return in the form of customer appreciation...
You really should try out the SP for Q4. It's the best part of the game out of the box.Quake 4 - Not even going to bother with SP, MP is good but could be better.
Dube created the crouch slide, very much on purpose. He envisioned level designers placing items in underpasses that would require crouching to reach--but if a player made use of the slide, said item could be obtained without losing strafe-jumping speed. I don't think any designers ended up placing items this way--rampjumping seemed to be the "favorite" new movement mechanic, as far as designers were concerned.Lenard wrote:They mentioned crouchsliding. Was it planned that way?
Yeah when I have a good enough computer I will but apparently I need a new gfx and sound card. :icon32:wviperw wrote:You really should try out the SP for Q4. It's the best part of the game out of the box.Quake 4 - Not even going to bother with SP, MP is good but could be better.
