AH-1W

2008-10-24T21:18:00.003+01:00

Updating today with another beautiful model from team member Mong0ose, this time featuring the AH-1W helo. This will be utilized in CryRecon as a support vehicle, bringing firepower to the battlefield as and when you need it. This may be developed into the AH-1Z varient at some point.

EOTECH 557

2008-10-15T08:35:00.003+01:00

Just a brief update today with a new CryRecon attachment. The Eotech 557 Holographic aimpoint. Still testing in game and as yet it is untextured.

CRYSIS/CRYRECON KNIFE CONCEPT

2008-10-13T23:36:00.008+01:00

Well thought I would take a break from the mountain of UVW work im currently hacking away at lol to try and concept a Knife for both Crysis and CryRecon. The model is currently untextured and the animations criminally simple, but I just wanted to get a model ingame to concept the actual mechanics of a knife for the engine. It is absolutely alpha but the concept itself works fine. Seeing as it seems to be such a heavily requested asset over Crymod I will also be releasing a community version for the guys over there. Animations are just placeholders for now so please ignore them in the video below.

GRENADES

2008-10-13T23:14:00.003+01:00

More modelling work this time to create the 4 basic grenade types for CryRecon. Got a couple of small smoothing issues but will iron them out.

WIP BENELLI M1014

2008-10-12T23:17:00.003+01:00

Felt the need to do some more modelling seeing as we are not quite at quota, this time its the M1014 Benelli Joint Service Shotgun. One of 3 CryRecon shotguns. Still working on the hand grip shape but its slowly coming together. These images are WIP.

BARRETT M107 CRYMOD COMMUNITY WEAPON

2008-10-05T18:39:00.003+01:00

Well this is not strictly CryRecon news but I thought I would replicate it here for all those who are not currently members of CryMod. For the past 2 months I have been creating a community release of the famous Barrett M107 sniper rifle. The weapon is now complete (To Beta) and is availiable to download over at CryMod. If you would like to grab your own copy of the rifle head on over there now by following the link below.

WELCOME THEMEGAMASTER

2008-10-05T17:40:00.002+01:00

05/10/08 WELCOME TEAM MEMBER THEMEGAMASTER

Just a brief update today to welcome our latest team member TheMegaMaster. Many of you will have seen his fantastic mapping work over at CryMod on the Crysis Wars Mappack he is currently creating, which includes maps such as Africa, Station & Bog. We are very happy to have his talent on the team and he joins CrazyEyezKillah on our mapping team.

Here is an example of his fine mapping work:

WARHEAD ENGINE

2008-10-01T02:52:00.004+01:00

After some initial discussion amongst the team we are currently agreed that CryRecon will most likely become exclusive to the new version of CE2 which is now shipping with the fantastic sequel to Crysis, "Warhead". The new version of the engine is highly optimized, producing major increases in FPS and also introduces many advances including those related to AI. Unfortunately at the moment the SDK and toolset for the Warhead version of CE2 is yet to be released, but once it is CryRecon will be moving to this new version of the engine.

We are aware that the majority of Crysis owners will also make the move to purchase Warhead now it is released and therefore the current fanbase for CryRecon will still retain the means to play the Mod when it is released.

As a short side note to this info, we are now currently only 3 or 4 weapons away from our demo quota, the demo map is already in production. We are now hoping for a playable demo of CryRecon before 2008 is finished.

BEOWULF .50 ASSAULT RIFLE

2008-10-01T02:42:00.002+01:00

Yet another exciting update from team modeller Mong0ose. This time it is the .50 calibre Beowulf assault rifle. The Beowulf is a modified M4 carbine rifle capable of firing a 50 cal shell in full auto. This weapon is truly the equalizer in any firefight.

OH-6 CAYUSE HELICOPTER

2008-10-01T02:29:00.004+01:00

A fantastic update from team member Mong0ose detailing the OH-6 Cayuse helicopter that will be used as both an insertion/extraction vehicle and also as helicopter gunship support for the player. The 2 varients shown below will fulfil both these roles in-game.

2008-08-06T18:58:00.003+01:00

Well here it is, the long awaited news for CryRecon. I am now back from the dead after a very long absence working away from home myself and the team are geared up to get a playable demo release of the mod sorted for you all within a few months. The full demo of the mod will include a fully playable mission, new weapons, including air support, a functioning squad interface and various custom models. Although it will not represent the full content of the game it will provide you with a very faithful representation of what it will feel like to play the final release of CryRecon. Sorry again to our community for the lack of updates but we are not dead and progress will continue very soon so stay tuned.
