The music was made for this avi. The actual in game music fits the environment you are playing in (siberia = russian music, etc.). DM has a more techno beat to it. Weapon sounds have been improved since this AVI/OEM to give them more of a bass / kick.
DM (which we are testing now) has all of the gore and a ton of animations, including 50+ skins/models (teams are based upon the enemy / good guy sets from within the game).
Shadows were not in the engine at the time this AVI was made (about a month ago now...), but they are very cool...

The graphics and realism are incredible. Can\'t wait to see how much the press is gonna bash it.

Imagine if you played a game, and shot an enemy in the leg... but he doesn\'t drop dead right away. No, he holds his leg and gives blood-curdling screams until he goes into shock (if he didn\'t do that right after getting shot) and loses consciousness. You\'d probably feel a lot more guilty about shooting someone in a game - and in real life - if that were the case.

Music: Corny
Weapon Sounds: Corny
Gore: Really kinda cool, r6 or rs could have been lik this if they wanted to make it realistic. From what i recall, they were going to have pain skins/limb blowing off in Half-Life, but they were worried about negative feedback.
Engine: umm... this kinda scares me. the fact that they supposedly advanced animation system, yet, the mouth dont move when the guys talk. i mean, this really takes away from the realism.

Thanks!
