What really gets you off about Dystopia? (e.g. Graphics, Gameplay, Short Recoil-ness)
With me, it's just the grand concept of 'Cyberpunks versus Megacorps' that really makes me eager. I'm also CRAVING for that perfect teamplay to get to the enemy base :)

It's been all over there for probably the better part of a year.

Well on the main site it just says "A Cyberpunk Game for the Source Engine." I doesn't say it's a mod and I haven't heard of mods ever releasing a demo.
But I'm glad to be corrected :D

Visually, the game is extremely polished. Cyberspace is freakin' cool!!!! The server i tried to join was loaded out the ass with lag, so i didn't get to shoot at anyone since I was lagging everwhere. Judging from teh demo,
9.8/10
TheSomeone
10-09-2005, 01:04 AM
Couldn't join a server that didn't lag, but I did host my own server to mess around in. All I can say is: CYBERSPACE PWNS. THey should make a game mode where it's all cyberspace.
Although cyberspace can get confusing since you can look backwards and change direction.

Good very good extreamly good potentual, almost as good as natural selection in terms of potentual and its future. the reason of the lag is, well, people are using regular start server to play, not dedlicated servers, give it time. also, had a blast, was great, but the thing that confused me was hacking.... i had to idea what i was doing....

I love the cortex bomb, right when the enemy is about to kill me I simply smile and run into their dumbasses and blow both of us up. So fun, makes me not fear death, like in any other game.
I love using light, thermal, super jump, invisibility, cortex bomb, and that sound sensor combo. With the shotty setup.

I'm usually mister negativity. But this simply rocks. Just rocks. it's smartr, it's fun. it looks good. Has a few glitches here and there. But combines different kinds of gameplay in a very good and original way. I only hope that if it will be sold, that they will have a retail version or atleast one were you can pay via pay pall.
StardogChampion
10-09-2005, 03:08 PM
I thought it was decent.
The main thing was that none of the weapons are really fun to use at all, and the maps seem pre-UT2003 visually as well as layout-wise.
The GUI and all that are pretty cool though.

hm, I'm not a 100% sure but as far as I'm aware you're not allowed to sell a mod independently. Obviously if VALVe want to pick up the mod they can do so and sell it, but this mod team can't go right ahead and sell a download for instance. 80% (if not more) of the code used to create this mod was VALVe's anyway.

Sry, i should have explained myself. IIRC a mod member said that if the mod proved to be popular they would maybe sell the full version. Now normally I would be like WTF. But you have to realistic, this is a quality mod, that probably cost a lot to develope. I just hope that if the ydecide to sell it, it will be free as a mod to people who own HL2, and the versoin that will be sold will be a stand alone version. Ooh and offcourse Valve would be in on it.

They'd have to either licence the engine from Valve or cut a deal where Valve gets a percentage from every copy sold. As they stand now they can't sell it.

It's a good game... but, I got bored of it too quick.
Besides, going invisible ninja-style, I find the other classes and other variations to be quite uninteresting, I hope in the full version there'll be more implants or some shit.
But the thing I noticed in this game that's real tight is that I saw that many people actually gathered together to rush n shit.
I was on Corps, we were defending the core room, the punks were ramming hard, this invisible ninja comes in with his Cortex bomb and BLOWS UP EVERY SINGLE Corps person in the room before the actual spawn room. Devastating and nice tactics.
I like how there's a wait time for the rocket launcher, it's quite powerful, but it doesn't shoot like something out of Unreal Tournament.

I like Dystopia, but it annoys me how, to some extent, it's what the future would look like in an eighties sci-fi movie. I know that's all part of the cyberpunk thang but it just doesn't seem like that much of a realistic future. Example: the assault rifle. Guns stopped looking like this in WW2.

Just played it for a short time. Didn't understand anything at first I was just running around stealthed and killing people :D . Didn't get to try anything else than the Light class. Cutting down heavy suits with Katana while stealthed was fun.
Must... go... play.. more... (also must install Deus Ex again and play it through)
Lucid
11-09-2005, 12:54 PM
So, uh...
Was it worth the wait?
Edit :
Played a bit, seems all the servers have major lag though...
Didn't get to try cyberspace as I don't know how to...
The katana's satisfying when cloaked.

CyberPitz

Yes there is. A good game that crashes every 10 min.
5 even!
And I think the dev team thought about the waves of people attacking a place at once with the wave respawn. I mean, I THINK I've got teh respawn times added down. Thought they change, the most times I see are...
Heavy: +5ish seconds
Medium +3 Seconds
Light +2 seconds
They made it to where everybody would spawn at once, thus, attack together. Natural Selection did this in a way. Was bugged out and would cause fo the Kharaa to wait to be respawned for like 30 seconds while the Hive was under attack. Seemed pretty silly.
Anyway, yeah. I hope the full version brings us some more items. Since they are pretty much done, I don't see it taking too much longer though?
Yes there is. A good game that crashes every 10 min.
A good game that you here how great it is and it wont even start up.

I've got about 5 hours logged so far, no crashes or lag experienced so far. It's a solid game, and I think they did an excellent game of testing, because there are no MAJOR bugs, like most mods have.
