Today I tried to convert a demo file on TF2 to a .avi file. I used the Pldx Recording tool to setup the tf2 and start the .avi recording. After trying out couple of codecs, I found one that didn’t make massive 20gig files or ruined the video with weird colors.
I got everything working fine. Nice 43.2meg .avi file worked on VLC without any problems and audio was on sync.
But no, it could not be that easy. I uploaded the video to YouTube and something went wrong at the process… Here is the results:
While ago I made a blog post about MW2 and BC2. It got some comments that pointed out that BC2 had better single player campaign and better graphics. At that time I was thinking that mw2 had better campaign and graphics, but I have changed my mind.
Graphics.
They are better on BC2, yes. Why did I said that MW2 had better graphics? Because I didn’t like the style BC2 had with the graphics, but now I like it. However I still dislike some of the snow/dust storms effects that makes you blind…
Single player campaign.
I didn’t play the campaign of BC2 to end when I wrote the first post. But now I did finish it with easy difficulty, because normal was frustrating at some points… (Too much enemy spam at some points…)
Problem with the BC2 single player campaign is that the start is bit boring and when the fun part starts at end, it is over way too fast. And it ends to very annoying cliffhanger…
And the single player was short… But yeah. I recommend to atleast try to play it to the end.
Here is video from the last mission, it does not contain any cutscenes/important story stuff, but it may spoil the final mission for some players…
Today I have released my first map to Episode 2. It is also my first custom map to 3d games. (I have done couple maps to LieroX, etc)
As this is my first map, it is not perfect. But in my opinion, for first map it isn’t bad. I have couple of things that I would have done better. Example the orange dev material at start. But I have succeed in couple of things in my opinion well. Enemies are balanced, and there isn’t too never too much of them. And there is still challenge. I also really like how the lights works. Example the cave entrance at first room looks nice.
Most of the people won’t download the map anyway, so I uploaded a video so they can watch it. Please note that the video is one huge spoiler for this level. Watch it only if you don’t want to play the level.
