BF2 and CSS resemblance?

CyberGhost

is it me or do those 2 games really look alike?

I watched a Danish demo yesterday, where soldiers run, and the way soldiers look and move, looks very much like CSS

I was wondering if they have the same engine or something?

Heh, I very much doubt they are using the Source engine.

Although game engines seem to be moving in the same direction, so its likely they look a move similarly. Tbh, HL and the Source engine are much more stable and solid then any of the BF engines, so thats probably why they are going for a more Source look and feel.

Tbh I always thought that BF was a little too rough and CS was too smooth. So somewhere inbetween would be nice.

do they both use the Havok physics engine? that would explain it..............

I'm not sure i'd call the source engine stable, but i suppose tis solid, but its not designed for enviroments half as big as BF, so its an entirely different kettle of fish.(and one also the gaming industry has much more experence with..)

They don't look alike at all to me tbh and having the same physics engine wouldn't affect how it looks.

by look i believe he ment how the feel/play, how the players run and so on...

Also, hopefully its NOTHING like HL2's engine.

Will somebody PLEASE think of the ping! Compare a 50 player BF42 server, to a 20 player HL2 server. I'd say the BF42 server would be easier to play on

Actually I read in the source SDK that it is possible to replicate BF in the source engine. Its much better at handling large enviroments than the previous engine, just look at the bit in HL2 with the massive bridge.

That bit was lagtastic for me though.

...because you have played the game and know how it feels/handles?

if you bothered to read the rest of them, you would notice how players run and so on was mention'd by looking at how the game appears to other people's first person views one can get a reasonable idea of how it reacts

BloodBath

Well the crosshairs look very cs. If the troop combat handles like source it will be a massive improvement over 1942/DC. Hopefully it's even better.

The source engine online has proven to be scheisse so hopefully its not like it tbh
