Welcome to todays Crymod news and a fresh new update to the current work in progress modification Close Combat Mod. We at Crymod are very excited to be able to present to you today a selection of brand new screenshots and videos from the mod's development and also a recap of some of the main gameplay features that can be expected when the mod is finally released.
Mod Description
The Action On Wings mod team is set to bring us a brand new gameplay experience based heavily on the Close Quarter Battle style of warfare. With intense objective driven missions, up close firefights and the emphasis heavily infused with the terrorist / counter-terrorist brand of gameplay that we are all familiar with Close Combat Mod promises to deliver a new element to the world of Crysis multiplayer gaming.
Planned Features
CQB Maps
Battlefield Maps like "Strike of Karkand"
Certain Counterstrike Maps
Counter Terrorism Teams
Terrorism Teams
Lots of urban style
no singleplayer - multiplayer only
Many opened buildings for free access
easy2use and fast2use buy menu and predefined kits
Different classes (Recon, Assault etc. nothing new but more functions)
Changing seats in vehicles will take more time
Vehicles in general will have a "heat-up-time" until ready for use
A commander-mode like in BF2 MAYBE even for the Counterstrike Modes
Slower movement in general
No automatic self-healing for everyone
Aura-System
A system that allows each playable class a specific "Aura" that benefits any other class that is within its effective radius.
Recon-Aura: All allied players within a radius of 5 meters receive 25% better accuracy and a 25% walking speed-bonus
Supplier-Aura: All allied players within a radius of 5 meters receive 25% +armor and receive ammo during this time for example 1 magazine every 2 minutes.
Medic-Aura: Healing Aura that heals 1% health every 2 seconds within a range of 3 meters
Game Modes
Here is a short list of the game modes that we can expect from Close Combat Mod.
COB - "Can Of Beans"
Placing/Disarming Nuclear Bombs. A typical counterstrike mode
CD - "Collateral Damage"
Capturing / Freeing Hostiles. Team A has the objective to reach a destination. Terrorists must intercept and can capture counter-terrorists as prisoners / hostiles. Objectives then changes to :team A: free hostile; terrorism: hold hostile at all costs. Hostile is the first player that got caught by enemy.
AS - "Advance & Secure"
Fighting for strategic buildings / spots. A mix of advance & secure, capture the flag and king of the hill.
