Q3 Annihilation Released
by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 10, 2001 10:27am PDTAs promised the Quake3 mod Annihilation has been released. It's a pretty big download at 79mb.
Annihilation is a Quake3 Total Conversion that changes the game from its original gothic deathmatch style gameplay to a World War 2 setting that aims for a highly team oriented strategy. Featuring a unique class and rank system makes players dependable of each other, not allowing any one man army kamikaze runners. You will find realistic weapons in Annihilation, as well as a whole set of realistic environments to battle it out in. Implementations like drivable vehicles (motorcycles in our first release), climbing, proning, gamemodes like "Destroy Target" and "Rescue Albert" all contribute to the modification's uniqueness.

Err, wrong. Not unique. Art of War was the first mod to feature this (and we only got a small news item on the shack when we first released).

Where is that H.P. Lovecraft mod that looked so promising *last summer*?
There are a lot of people who complain about a LOT of different aspects of Counter-Strike: netcode, weapon balance, map quality, scoring, and MOST OF ALL the community, which many people hate because of the cheating and the immaturity.
If there are 4 retail team-based games, and 8 decent quality mods, you will have a lot of leeway to find your favorite. If you like this type of game, you would be happy.
I seriously don't get this negativity. Everytime I see news of a mod coming out, especially for a recent-generation game (UT or Q3) I am happy, not pissed off that these people who work for nothing didn't make what I wanted them to make.

Also, whoever here said no one wanted to play the Nazi's was dead wrong, every game I played had tons of Nazi's anbd very few Allies, with the machineguns the way they are I cant blame them either.

PROS
* Has a lot of potential with drivable vehicles. Driving the motorcycles was fun stuff.
* People into WWII genres may dig this.
CONS
* In this form, this release can help figure out additional issues and such, but as is, it has too many bugs in itself to be enjoyable.
CONCLUSION
* Wait for the next release, unless all you are looking for is to get is a taste of what the mod may become which may help you figure out if you will be interested or not for the next version.
Hope this helps somebody....

I will encourage you all again to try Global Warfare, its not just a cstrike clone. The first time you blow up the enemy transport helicopter with a stinger or user the laser to target an airstrike you will see its got many new additions to gameplay.
