yeah the springs are really corny. I don't see why you would have rockets at the back and not have rockets at the base.

if you had jets on the back of your feet you would blast forward... while your body trails behind your feet. Resulting in massive back of the head injury... but lol none the less.

Naturally this is fairly unimportant but given time in the modelling department I think it would be good to redo the nanokeyring. It doesn't really fit it's new role as password storage.

I wonder how a password storage folder would look. I imagine it'd be somewhat trippy and Tron-like. Something like a hovering folder icon which would spawn a glowing key that soars into the door and then disappears, opening the door? Heh, I guess you could let your imagination run wild on this one, Phas. What do you think, sound like something you'd like to do?

I've uploaded the latest Deco package to the FTP, it should compile but I'm not completely sure, I don't think I will have time to do anything to it so Shane will have to take over unfortunatly.

While working on the Subway Ticket I discovered a model of a Surface to Air Missile that we were apparently going to use for the ABI chopper shoot-down scene. I suppose we still should, just don't let me forget it:p

Right, but if we do that, we'll need a SAM site model as well. Plus a destroyed version of same.

Well, I think we need it, seeing as we really need have a cinematic explaining exactly how your chopper came to crash...or it would be cool, anyway.

But we'll save it until we're ready to start doing the cinematics.

Eh... your memory isn't what it used to be, is it? The chopper isn't going to crash, it's going to dodge the missiles and then bomb the fuck out of the SAM site. The crashed chopper Phas made was for a hidden bonus area in the cliffs.

That makes a lot more sense...we can still do it, though.

Jonas, about the GS logo for the holo projectors, do we just want 'GS' or perhaps the actual Gamespy Guy?

If you read the modelling list, you'll notice I linked to that exact image, so yes: I think we should use the actual Gamespy guy.
