I was over at Planet Half Life checking out the news and apparently there's a Multiplayer HL2 mod in the works called Eternal Silence.

The super groovy part about this is that they have been able to integrate space combat into the engine, both Newtonian physics and arcade style. There's even animated thrusters to coincide with Y/P/R changes.

Just thought I'd let everybody know about it since you know it's got flying in it.:D
I know SW Battlefront 2 has space combat and boarding options and WCP has Multiplayer coming, but if the space combat in ES is anything like Prophecy's control then I think it would be a better foot to flight game than SWBF2.

Very interesting. I'd be interested in seeing how they implement their code into the final game. Although I personally hate flying spaceships from a 3rd person perspective.

Likewise...it was annoying in Freelancer. I would always switch to cockpit view.
 
It was surprisingly nice on Freelancer, probably because the way it was implemented. It was easy to fire because the target was your mouse cursor - so it was in practice just like a first person shooter where there's a little 3D ship on the bottom of the screen.
 
Freelancer was an amazing game of Space Diablo meets priv. REally liked it. Awesome graphics even today... I guess most of its problems were "fixable", i.e. crappy storyline and total unbalance. But i really liked it.

I'll try this Eternal Silence, HL2+Space flight = Happy Ed.
 
I found the storyline of Freelancer pretty good right until the aliens kicked in and it become the invasion of the body snatchers. Than it was all downhill.

I think they realised it, tought. The intro that actually makes into the game ignores the aliens, while the 'original' intro that you can download off the net is much worse.
 
Well, aside the main plot, the overall setting was pretty interesting on its own right. The alien thing sucked.
 
Nah, most of the plot is already into the body snatcher thing. The conspiracy part in the begining was cool, though.
