Is it just me or does this look oddly familiar to the MGS/MGS4 lift drop when going down after fighting all the genome soldiers on it to where REX is being held. Lol. As soon as I saw it that was the first thing I thought of. It's just missing the computer node on the bottom most part of the machinery.

These elevators are somewhat common in sci-fi games. Half-Life even had one IIRC. Here's a noncomprehensive list: http://www.giantbomb.com/diagonal-elevator/93-1782/

So Matt, Seba, and I have been ticking away at getting some actual resources going for AS. We've got door prefabs already done (because I hate instances) and more on the way, and we've got a prop library almost finished.

It's such a great game, I'm alright at it but when I play with agressive folks who want to run through it then we all end up dying and most of the damage is team damage.

To have a good time, all you need to do is play with a group of friends. If you've got voice chat, that's a plus too. Don't be a Grazr.

It's fine to play with pubs. Maybe not on insane (though we did complete two levels), but hard is pretty much soloable to begin with.

A friend and I have duo'd hard from the first level to the biomass level so far.
