Too processorintensive without the voxels ysee.Īs well as the massive multiplayer options, including Voice-Over-Net, Land Warrior is going to provide a character-driven single-player game that gives you the chance to step into the boots of a veteran soldier as part of a five-man team who spend their time chewing cigars, rescuing hostages and killing nasty terrorists. And no tall grass means no sneaking up on someone on your belly and killing them before they've had a chance to register you're there. One slight side-effect is that there are no plans to implement tall grass.
Even fans would have to admit that the old voxel effort looked pretty terrible, although the developers are promising that while the new engine is going to banish the pixellated look, it's still going to retain the huge outdoor landscapes, with the massive line-of-sight opportunities that made the original games so successful.
Even better is the news that Land Warrior is going to ditch the outdated and crusty voxel engine of old and replace it with a brand spanking new, singing and dancing, fully accelerated 3D engine.
