Sierra Announcements
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 01, 2000 12:43pm PDTWhat would this day be without some fresh press releases from Sierra huh? Well here they, officially announcing the Gunman Chrononicles product (based on the Half-Life engine) as well as a big $50k Tribes2 tournament. On Gunman Chronicles
As the first stand alone release built on the Half-Life engine Gunman Chronicles expands on all the amazing effects and frighteningly realistic artificial intelligence that made Half-Life the undisputed king of first-person action games. In development by Rewolf Software, Gunman Chronicles is set in the western spiral of the galaxy, five years after a horrifying alien infestation. The adventure leads players to four unexplored planets with an amazing variety of habitats for enemies, features 40+ hours of gameplay, customizable weapons allowing for 32 variations of arsenal, original sound and music, and 30 new monsters to wage heart-stopping battle. In addition, Gunman Chronicles includes multiplayer modes for up to 32 players via LAN and Internet connections.Gunman was originally planned as a Quake1 TC and is now a stand alone retail product so it's come a real long way. Also, next year Sierra will be holding the Tribes2 World Domination tournament with a grand prize of $50,000. Tribes from Europe, America and Asia will be competing.

i still half life is slow on the action part. i hate playing half life dm cause it is just too slow
Blah blah blah
Get me rewrite!
As the first stand alone release built on the Half-Life engine, Gunman expands on the good will of the mod community to milk it shamelessly for a couple of years for free promotion while promising, *ahem*, a free mod, and then, at the last minute, decides to sell out and make some dough!
And why do they sTill call it that. Basically it is a heavily modified Quake2 engine.
Do you hear that?! HEAVILY MODIFIED QUAKE 2 ENGINE.
sheesh. Give the creators some credit.

Hmmmm, 3 expansion packs, commercially selling all of the good mods, now creating a game off of the "Half-Life engine".
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Half-Life engine actually a very heavily modified version of Quake2?
