Tango Down

Some of you might have noticed that Crylife 1.5.8 and 1.5.9 patch is no longer available for download.

The reason why Crylife 1.5.8 is no longer accessible for download it’s because we
don’t want for players, the new ones and as well the more familiar with Crylife,
to give them a wrong impression of Crylife and it’s current state.

We’ve received a lot of feedback, either positive and negative about our mod,
Thanks to that feedback we were able to polish Crylfe 2.0 more,
add most of requested features, and fix some crucial game-breaking bugs that occurred for some users,
and enhance gameplay experience thanks to SMOD: Standalone.

In this log span of time, as I’ve said, we have revived a lot of feedback,
also Crylife 2.0 in in such advanced development progress,
that there’s no point in releasing a patch for Crylife 1.5.8 that would fix all of the reported issues.
I’d take a long time and would mostly not add any new features,
furthermore some bugs that occur in 1.5.8 are un-fixable, and the same bugs has been fixed with the release of Smod: Standalone.
So it would not be a small update/patch, but it’d be a large update that would take a long time to, create, download and apply.
Not only that, but it’d not add any new features to the mod itself.
Taking Crylife 1.5.8 down, allows us to focus on finishing Crylife 2.0,
and making it the most polished version of Crylife, and what it should be from the start really.

We’re also working closely with some Linux and OsX modders to make Crylife 2.0 work on said operating systems.
That said, we’ve already made Crylife running on MAC, and it’s only matter of time before we’ll be able to launch it on Linux


Here’s a list of some currently added features that were missing, or where suggested by the community:

1. HUD for selecting weapons and allowing them to be selected with the mouse wheel
2. Better quality models and sounds
3. Advanced NHEV controls allowing player to quickly change modes without bringing up the radial menu
4. More modifiable weapons and more ways to modify them
5. Integrated game effects menu, no longer squinting in the upper-left corner of the screen
And last, but one of the most important changes:
6. Easier installation and “upgrade packs” that’ll allow of adding CS:S and HL2:DM to the gaming experience.
*Crylife 2.0 requires only “Source SDK 2006 Base” and “Half-Life 2”

That’s only some of main changes, and they’re very overall.
There’s a lot of other minor changes and small updates that aim to make this mod even more polished.
You can always view the full changelog HERE

Currently we’re in process of eliminating small bugs that appeared during development,
But there are still lots of things that will be added, and tested, before getting public.

Crylife 2.0 is currently in a private test, this means that only specified people are given to play and test it.
After that, we’ll launch a closed tests, for which people can apply via any form of contact with us(with the exception on comments and smoke signals)
We’ll be posting some preview images and videos showing new features and explaining new game mechanics sometime in the future.
Stay tuned until then; as always we’re open for suggestions/improvements.
