Introduction
Casus Belli scenario takes place in the world of Crysis, but is a realistic-like mod. Dont expect to find any futuristic weapon, nanosuit or Aliens on this mod.
The background of Casus Belli offers various battlefields such as Russia, Europe, Middle East and also North America in CB maps. I am sure you will like the countryside map "No bravery 1", nicely surrounded by corn fields, rivers, forests . But if you prefer industrial area, well, we have for you "No bravery 2" and its large factories. Be sure that we will enhance the feeling of a world in conflict in our maps by including many different areas like deserts, harbors, forests... Casus Belli will offer you urban maps with nice streets battles and building by building fights.
All these maps contain a large amount of exclusive assets like new buildings, new static vehicles, various city and house furnitures. Numerous custom textures are also included to change radically the universe of crysis and offer you a new gaming experience.
We also made some of the Crysis solo maps available for multiplaying, like River and Valley.
Besides, the new class system which changes the skin of the character depending on its class, the skinned hand and the random time of day make Crysis gameplay a more true to life experience.
Current Status
Casus Belli is largely inspired to battlefield series, and try to purpose a comparable experience on Cryengine2.
To do so, we totally removed the nanosuit and the health regeneration system, fixed a few exploits (like the jump exploit), and clearly oriented the game towards a battlefield-like experience. So far, the game play mix large maps for infantry and vehicules fights at 32 players, and little sized maps (10-16 players) for fights in the purest infantry tradition (perfect for e-sports)!
Weapons are plenty more efficient, assaults are quick and brutal, and long range fights take a new dimension.
You will find 4 different class systems (recon, assault, sniper, saper), a squad system, a new flag system (the energy increases once you've captured the flag) and many features that will allow a faster and tenser gameplay. The system of " prestige points" has been kept, but adapted for the new gameplay.
Implemented features (Done):
- New maps (seven maps actually) with new ambience. Most of theses maps have been set for infantry oriented gameplay.
