<div class="IPBDescription">Hath Anyone Gotten Jiggy With This?</div>So <a href="http://www.thedecimation.com/" target="_blank">Revolt: The Decimation</a> just released their server and client files. I wouldn't expect any of <i>you</i> to know about it because the <i>mainstream mod media</i> (3M) has been ignoring it or censoring it or something, but it's apparently a game for pro1337 FPS players to blow each other up in. It's supposed to be all about skill; no luck or chance or any crap that would let get in the way for pure team fragmatches or capture the flag or whatever the heck the objectives are. I'd totally be testing it out but my computer runs Source games kind of like amputees run marathons. It's not much to look at (it's all about the gameplay) but these new YouTube tags are daaaaayum sexy, so:

There's more information in that website I linked above. So like, play it. Tell me if it's any good.

    Looks pretty slowpaced for a game that's supposed to meet the needs of high end gamers. Plus I really and wondering weather I'm going to agree on their definition of removing luck from the game... It sounds like counterstrike nerd propoganda "LOL, WE REMOVED ALL LUCK FROM PLAYING THIS GAME!". So if I shoot someone with a bad ping and I miss it was my lack of skill? Pretty lame.

    [edit] Reading through the manual really turned me off. It's a CS spinnoff IMO and the devs have very little clue as to game design. The weapons are all roughly clones of each other and there are very few abstract weapons. Like I already pointed out, this game is SLOW. It's all about twitch AFAICS. It may be a slightly better game then CS for competitive play due to the fact they removed the randomness from the recoil, but that's really the only redeeming feature I see...

    It's not like there can only be one. Obviously with iron sights and 8v8 team matches this is a different game than DMC.

    lol CS is old, newbie. no wait, this is not CS LOLOLOLOOLLOL

    or is it!? lolololololol

    lol from a trailer, off the main page; something like:

    WHEN EVIL SPREADS, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. FAST.
    THE EASTCOAST WAS ATTACKED (this is after europe completly has been "red'ed" out (or EVIL'ED OUT BY EVIL))
    NOW MILLIONS HAVE TO FIGHT TO EARN THEIR FREEDOMSS. FIGHT IN CITIES. DESERTED CITIES. HANDPICKED. GIVE WEAPONS TO THE PRISONERS OF WAR AND THEY WILL FIGHT, eachother, totally not the ones that make them play the game.
    FIGHT!
    POWERWEAPONS!
    DID I MENTION EVIL?
    ITS SPREADING THROUGH THE LAND OF FREEDOM.

    ps. EVIL STARTS IN EUROPE.
    AND THEN IT SPREADS.

    CUE VIETNAM FOOTAGE.

    Yeah that was pretty ridiculous. I have no idea what they're doing trying to put a story behind what is basically just a competetive team game. But hey, that's their decision <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Actually, I did know about this mod. I saw it a few weeks ago when it was posted on PHL's news. I thought it looked mildly amusing. I'll try it out.

    not much to say other than the title sounds like it was created by a Random Game Name Generator.

    The sequel will be:

    Revolt: The decimation : Revolutions extreme

    Or possibly:

    Revolt: The decimation II: Decimate harderer

    Planet Half-Life has actuall written a (gasp) <a href="http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Reviews.Detail&id=31" target="_blank">very competent review</a> of this mod, which has convinced me to try it out even though it'll probably just crash for no reason a few times before it starts working. It definitely sounds like my kind of game, at least.

    Lets me just squeeze the whole mod into a single sentence:

    "Fun for a while, but nothing outstanding."

    It is just another shooter and there is no outstanding graphics/gameplay element/setting/atmosphere/gameflow that calls you back in front of the PC.

    Did anyone else see the title and hope for a sequel to the RC cars game on the Dreamcast, ReVolt?



    *sigh* i wish I'd never parted with my DC...

    That looks just as bad as the music accompanying it. That shotgun model seems really familiar, looks like BrigadierWolf's shotgun or something from TS.

    Oh cool, the forums have a spell checker! Or is that FireFox?

    Only thing that caught my interest is the iron sights recoil realistically, almost makes me want to take the time to try it.

    Ya, that is cool, but it's hardly something I would expect to carry a title. That's just one minor feature.

    i dont know if its a bug or a feature, but if i i turn and shoot quickly afterwards, whether im using iron sights or not, the recoil is ridiculous and it makes my screen jump so crazily that i cant even tell where i am looking.

    So I went ahead an installed this and played for ~45 minutes. It's pretty freaking fun. The weapons/iron sights feel really awesome and the maps are super well designed, although they could probably be prettier. It's nice to be able to throw grenades or melee or switch weapons super fast and easy without messing around with buttons. It's not a super fast paced game, but the action is furious and everything just seems smooth. The weapons don't seem all that different from each other (except the pickups) but overall I had a lot of fun.
